dude, i love mine! it is hands down the best car i have ever owned. its quiet(road noise), has plenty of power, stylish. The possibilities are endless. The car is so fun to drive, i cant wait to add wheels/drop to it. Also, as with most civics, there is a whole community dedicated to the 8thgens. www.8thcivic.com. They are helpful, and have a ton of DIY's there. From adding HID's, to running power wire to your trunk. The car is overall a little bigger than my previus civic, and that took some getting used to. I recently went and saw one of my friends with a crx, and that tiny hass thing made my civic look like a fickin crown vic. it was crazy. VTEC in that thinbg was a whole diff world too tough. Dude, i would say get one, but you may wanna go test drive one first. i didnt even hesitate, being a previus civic owner, i knew its what i wanted, then after i drove one, it was on!
