when did it all go wrong?

Looks like it was with the 4th Generation

>implying it was ever

Civics are the archetypal economy car. Why would you imply they're anything else?

7th gen was a huge mistake

so was your birth

>7th gen was a huge mistake

but it was 8th gen that introduced spaceship clusters and factory rice

My older brother owned an 03 and it always had problems
Power windows don't go back up, trim pieces coming off, rattling beyond 60mph, clearcoat peeling off etc.
It never had any serious problems but I think Honda jewed their design money over to some other car during that era because that car was shit. Also, the engine was pathetic

>>17501697
Up until the 8th gen it was great. 9th gen sucked total dick. Then shot sky high with 10th. Hatchback version of the 10th gen is particularly amazing.

Get your eyes checked

All Civics have pathetic engines. Even the Si is a joke.

I have an FJ. I haven't ridden a bus in 7 years. I was ensuring clarity around his comment that *some* Civics may have had good engines. They were all shit, even the "tuner" version.

Better looking side profile. Almost as good handling. Isn't cramped inside. Tons more power. 10th gen is the best.

I'm a muscle car guy and think civics are jokes, but I ain't gonna lie. 10th gen looks pretty nice.

So spaceship is rice now? Get over yourself. Just because it was shitty, doesn't mean it's rice.
