Civic EG Hatchbacks still worth it in 2020?

[tarzegetakizerd]

You mentioned in the start of this topic that it will be your first car, tama? Naku, pinagdaanan ko/namin din yan... as a college student, it will be very difficult to stay true na “pang daily lang naman”. Sooner or later, you will crave for more than that, like:
1. Performance parts/brand sticko (e.g. spoon, trd, ralliart, sparco, etc.)
2. Club sticko (e.g. PADEK, grupo, mlph, etc.)
3. Shop sticko (e.g. H3 autoworks, candyshop, clifford, etc.)
4. And some more sticko (e.g. nuffsaid, tanginamo, safe, etc).
5. Then you will realize sticko doesn’t add “that much” hp to your car.
6. Then. you will try to start to learn the basic of ICE.
7. On the side, someone will introduce to you the ported/sealed box, the SP/SQ, the “gapang”, the 12 inches, the 1-2-3-4 ch, etc.
8. Then the stance and the wide wheels
8.1. The car shows, and syempre the mowdels.
9. Then come the track day, and you’ll realize that all of the above (except for #6) doesn’t help making your car run fast.
9. The. you’ll be serious about the real hp and the engine transplant, the coil overs, etc.
10. Then start ka ulit ng topic sa tsikot: first project car.
11. Then you’ll sell your FD to get an EK/EG.

Hahahaha! So, gets mo na? Just stick with the original plan... kung ano yung napusuan mo sa umpisa, push na agad! Promise, dun ka din papunta.

Nga pala, walang kasamang chicks jan sa taas ah. Bahala ka na kung saang stage mo gusto isingit. Additional budget kasi yun. [emoji4]

Mas nakagulo ba sa decision making? Hehe!

Ako nagsimula lang din mag-isip bumili ng EK nung kakasimula ko magtrabaho. Nagandahan lang ako sa itsura niya. Then, habang nakakaipon, napaisip ako magFD. Habang tumatagal, nawawala yung amor ko bumili ng EK.

Nung nakabili ako ng FD, yoko na bitawan haha. Ayoko na din nung interior ng EK. Napapangitan ako.

Then again, hindi ako Rice-rice, baka may factor hehe. I'd rather keep the FD exterior stock, and maybe upgrade some in the k20 (or swap engine )

Batangas Racing Circuit (Long) | Top 1 Lap Times

May FD na sa loob ng top 10 times sa BRC!

Pati sa Philippine GT Championship ngayon puro FD na tumatakbo.

Kahit gaano pa ka pormado katawan nyan tapos mahina naman yung makina, tawag dyan - all show, no go. As if makadagdag sa power output yung body kits at spoilers. Hehehe

On a different note, a properly modified EK with a sport suspension, a decent engine, fitted exhaust, and intakes will make one sweet driving FWD car.

This thread reminds me of my college days... twice din akong nadapa bago nakinig kay itay

Before I purchase an old car... Iniisip ko muna, anong gamit namin sa house ang mas matanda pa sa car na bibilhin ko.

Then imagine the car na ginamit everyday ng kung sino sino... how will it hold

2nd - gaano ko sya katagal gagamitin (let's face it, first car medyo sentimental)

3rd - sya lang ba ang car ng family? and may marunong ba gumawa sa family

Last - gaano ka kaluwag sa finances... masisira yung car, titirik, mababangga. kailangan may extra cash ka palagi

As for the question about EG Hatchbacks...

Get someting newer (honestly di din ako nakiniig noon... hanggang 2nd car ko matigas ulo ko)

Layo naman ng Civic FD sa Vios 2nd gen in terms of looks. Kahit nga yung City GM (2009-2013), mas maganda pa tingnan kaysa Vios na yan.

By the way, saan ka ba nakatira at bihira ka na lang makakita ng Civic FD? Eh mas marami pa nga Civic FD kaysa Civic FB sa daan.

+1 sobrang layo. Baka Ung Honda City GM (2009 - 2013) at Toyota Vios (2013-2018) ung tinutukoy mo sir since ung unang labas ng Vios, madami ang nagsabe na may similarities ung front fascia nila.

Parang Mirage at STI lang!

To be fair, the STI is generic.

May hawig sa current gen Almera yung likod

The looks of the rear part may be the same but that's just about it. Not even the spoiler makes the difference. It's how the car is built which make it different. Not every car has an AWD platform.

[NiCe2KnowU]

Magkahawig talaga eh [emoji16]
Parehas parang pagong, pabilog, medyo malapad Lang Ng konti SI fd [emoji16]

to many non-aficionadoes,
many cars now look like each other.

Yes, doc. It's like the mother or SO who keeps on bugging you. "Why do you keep on buying new cars that look alike?!?!"

Are Civic EG’s still worth it in 2020?

Depends who’s asking.

For younger people (Millennials and younger) they will dismiss the EG as an outdated car with little to no creature comforts.

For older people (baby boomers or older)
they probably have an image of the EG as a noisy, low to the ground and uncomfortable. Most of them will stay away.

For GenXers (correct me if i’m wrong) we grew up seeing the EG as our dad’s, uncle, relatives car and was not old enough to own one. We are probably the group that wants to own this car more than anyone.

About the FD and Vios: dunno why someone thought they look the same. Probably need to see an eye doctor. Hehehe

Front:
Fd: separate housing for hi & low beams
Vios: one housing for hi & low beams

Side
Fd: door mounted mirrors,
Vios: pillar mounted mirrors

Rear:
Fd: separate housing for brake, signal & reverse lights, with the other housing mounted on the trunk
Vios: all signals in one housing and mounted only on the body

Now with the mirage & current gen impreza, yes they have a similarity.
