Civic recommendations
 

Baby due next month and things are tightening up a bit, so the Cobalt has to go. I'd love to get a WRX or and 03/04 Cobra but can't afford it, so I'm headed back the Honda way. I had a CRX before and loved the car to death but it was in pretty sore shape I leaving for the Army left me short of time to give it attention. I'm wondering if I can get the wonderful CRX driving experience out of an EG or and EK? I don't want to go any later that 2000 to keep cost down and the ones past that time just don't really appeal to me.

BABY ON THE WAY = ODYSSEY

EG's are alot of fun

Re: Civic recommendations
 

accord wagon!! h22 :)

Was the EG hatch the only one to have the little tailgate thing?

Re: Civic recommendations
 

EG. cheap to get cheap to repair cheap cheap cheap. with a set of slightly stiffer springs(not too stiff for baby) they handle fairly well as well. If you want a more compliant ride get an EK, they handle well but wouldn't be as harsh

wagon with a built h22/23 would be PIMPPPPPP. you would be the coolest dad at the nursery.

Or just go with a k-swapped odyssey. k-series gayness but its kool cause its in a van.

I would suggest a 4 door. You will kick yourself in the ass everytime you have to take that baby out of the car if you get a 2 door. :-\

I think 4dr EG or EK can be made fun to drive. Not super small and sporty like a rex but I had a 4dr EG that had a stock ITR suspension besides the 5 lug and it was fun. Stock shock/springs with ITR lca's and swaybars. It did have the 5 lug but the guy I bought it from pulled that off and left everything else. It's just an option to look at.

Re: Civic recommendations
 

I was thinking 4dr also boost, I won't be karting the kid around too much in it. Getting the wife a Jeep Patriot for that, and I loves a stiff ride.

Re: Civic recommendations
 

Odyssey, H2B, boost an F23... it's the only way to go man.

Re: Civic recommendations
 

I love my eg hatch, but I think my next purchase will be a 1st gen crv with a 5spd 4wd and boost for my kid hauler. I have a 2 year old now and a new one coming next month.

Re: Civic recommendations
 

Turbo H22 + Odyssey = my next car.

Re: Civic recommendations
 

dude you need a family car. Hatchback is a death trap. Be a parent buy a crv or a 4 door

Re: Civic recommendations
 

nothing newer then 93 drives like the older hondas if you ask me, but id suggest a 4 door accord or a 96+ 4 door civic, 92+ 4 door civics, just dont like them

Re: Civic recommendations
 

I have many many cars but when I only have a hatch on the road and my wifes car it is a major PITA, you need to be able to tote kids in both cars you will find out fast.
