    Default Convice me to drive one of these things.

    In a nutshell, I have an offer to get into one of these bad boys. Not spoiling, its a hatch, B18, coilovers. A few mods.

    I am a rwd person, and drive an F250 daily.

    What would make me/you want to drive one of these?

    Good mountain car? Probably sick gas mileage lol Good handling when done right?

    Ahh! Stalker! I can't around this board worth a damn.

    Basically just trading to have a fun car for like a month or something? I am saving for a 2.5RS or WRX or whatever the hell I buy in the mean time. This keeps me from spending money on another damn car lol ( I have an addiction?)

    Yeah alot of people own hondas and offcourse most of them r civics! But listen u came to us bc u want us to convince u of getting one, it doesn't work like that. I got a civic 99.9% stock but there is not one day I don't day dream of the endless things I can do to it! What I'm saying is, if u never been interested in hondas and like u said u r a rwd person, a hatch,coupe,sedan it's never going to make u happy. No matter what u put in it. If this is not the case sorry but I'm just giving my opinion

    I had a Mk2 Jetta that I loved, good buddy of mine had a B16 EG with suspension and it was baller. I liked them both, like I said I might pick one up for fun. If I don't like it... well it will be sold shortly after.

    I remember some one on IA saying they love RWD. I think his Sn is Bennifit (sp). He bought a TypeR and now he likes FWD...

    yup i loved my crx and love my civic because with only a little modification they can take corners like a champ, get great gas mileage when driven decently, and on top of that any part you need can be gotten pretty cheap. I dont know many other cars where u can get a replacement transmission in good shape for around $300 haha
