Civic is prolly one of the best car in it's class~

you cant polish a turd

This is why there is no point of posting about imports on this forum~
bunch of ignorant people making asshat comments~

If civic is a turd then I guess~ your domestics are far below that~

Its nice that you automatically flame everyone and anyone who doesn't like imports. Grow up.

You obviously have never owned a Honda.

i was actually impressed with the work on the civic...i would estimate it do 0-60 in the high 5s....and maybe a 13sec 1/3 mile...its crazy what they do to the honda engines

maybe you should be the one growing up~
with every import post~ 80% of the people on this forum~ automatically call out rice ~

how ignorant is that ~ ?

let me ask why do imports sell a lot better than domestics ? ?

I guess they're just that awesome of a rice burner~ so much so that it beats out the hamburger and french fries burner~

there's a difference between saying "I don't like imports/civics" and saying anything involving the word 'turd'.

This kills me.

With all the damn money he spent on that, he could have bought a really nice car.

I take it you own a civic?

I dont think there is anything wrong with civics or any other car for that matter ..peopel buy what they can afford..as long as it gets them between points a and b more power to them.

am i just old or something?
i seem to remember that a civic is a turd.
always has been and always will be.
people used to embarased to be seen next to one, let alone drive one.
it is a mommy's econo car, not a sports car, and not a cool car.
and nowdays the kids all think they are the sh1t for some stupid reason .
and i will still raost it even with 300 hp in it.
with my chev truck no less...
in 4 wheel drive...

What class does a 300hp turbo civic belong to?

people are saying it's a crappy civic~

can you name a domestic car that's better that it in it's class ? ?

Not the turbo charged civic ~ but a standard civic~

We're not talknig about a regular civic, we're talking about a 300hp turbo civic. Here, let me quote the title of this thread for you, since you seem to have missed it:

so i got to ride in this 300hp civic last night


I know we're talking about a 300hp civic~ but people are saying "IT"S STILL A CRAPPY CIVIC"

WHATS WRONG WITH A CIVIC ? ? ??


ABSOLUTELY NOTHING~!!!

it's a helluv alot better than a Neon or Focus in terms of reliability~ Cavalier ?? what ??
Those suck too. The Civic is great for an economy car, beyond that it's like putting Perfume on a Pig.

I guess you missed a post about that I don't own a civic~
It's just pretty messed up how everyone joins in the bandwagon calling every fvcking import that's posted here RICE


but yes I do own an import~ not a honda but a different brand

So everytime someone says rice, you're going to cry about it?

The only post that even had rice in it was the AUTHORs. Then you had to come cry about people not liking Civics.

You just start typing random ~~~~!~~ and expect people to care. Learn to punctuate, maybe your posts won't give me a siezure :Q

since when was honda Turd ?
The so called "TURD" beats out other domestic cars in it's class

CIVC: beats out neons , focus , cavalier ~ ..


the problem is people on this forum thinks every domestic car is a god send~ when in all honest truth it's not~
yes the old muscle cars are nice~
but how many cars out right now is as reliable as a import ?
which domestic gives better gas mileage with reliability and decent amount of power than an import ?

Maybe you should learn not to talk sh1t about imports right off the bat, and not try and changing the subject~ this aint friggin english class and if you do have that seizure problem go see the doctor~ and not cry about it here~

Isekii, you are the one who seems to be missing the point. Allow me to clarify for you:

There is nothing wrong with the Civic. It's a relatively low performing, uncomfortable, and depending upon who you ask ugly compact sedan, but it's cheap, reliable and efficient. It is good at those things. Nobody is arguing against that. Now spending lots of cash trying to make a car like that fast is what people think is ridiculous. Why not take the money and buy a nicer car to begin with if you want something fast? You could have a better looking, faster, more comfortable car for the money it takes to turn the plain, boring, front wheel drive Civic into a lean, mean, rice machine. There is nothing wrong with the car, but there is something inherently illogical with trying to make it into something it was not meant to be.

actually hondas are quite unreliable. Imports have done a good job of convincing people that they are low maintenance.

I've never known a honda to be reliable and I've owned three.

I just wanted to add that I've owned TWO Civics; an '86 CRX Si and a '93 Si hatchback. Both were fun, reliable cars that never broke down and got pretty good gas mileage. If i was looking for a small, reliable car for basic transportation needs, I'd buy another Civic in a second. It's a Honda. <--says it all right there.


But, my mouse balls still own your Turbo Civic. :p

Are you being truthful? I just find it hard to believe...see my post right above yours.

Wow, I never once mentioned :

1) Muscle cars
2) Reliability
3) Domestics > Imports

You are the one changing the subject everytime it fits your arguement. This thread was about a 300hp turbocharged civic and you want to compare regular civics to the rest of the world. Tell me how thats not changing the subject.

I didn't even talk smack about Imports. I just called you out for being a dumbass. So you can keep crying about how you think you're right. I'm sure everyone will be amused.

Yes there is nothing wrong with a civic. To make a civic fast doesn't take much money that is why a lot of people purchase it and mod it.
For a cheap car it's quite comfortable and the performance is above average imo, and i think it looks a lot better than a Neon, Focus, or a Cavalier.

Does it make that much of difference to you what some people think of Civic?
Who cares, if you like the car then it shouldn't matter what others think of Civic.

I own domestic car and I could sense that you don't care for domestic car,
but I don't care becuase I like my car. Some of the peeps think that I'm a redneck
just because I own Camaro SS, but that don't bother me none, because it don't matter.

Point is, just let it go. Who cares.

And on another note, your reliability argument is moot. The car is relatively reliable (relative to competing cars in its class) however when you slap a forced induction system on a car with an engine not designed for that purpose, things have a tendency to become less reliable. Especially with higher boost pressure. I don't hate import cars, I drive a Supra; I merely dislike it when people think a Civic is a race car. It's not.
