Why does anyone bash on them? Mainly civics. Who gives a crap that everybody and their brother seems to have one. People like their civics and it makes sense to have one. They are cheap to buy, fix, mod, etc. They are one of the most reliable cars you can have. And if you do blow up an engine, no big deal, swap it for CHEAP! If you are into modding you can almost build an entire car out of aftermarket parts and the parts are readily available from all over the country. Takes very little, if anything, to make one look good. And with the right parts they are FAST. So why would you bash a car that is good in so many ways?
