The ass, however, is an eyesore unless you have a weird taste, but I guess the more expensive late 2006 facelifted model is out of the question.

The Civic should sound good. I'd really pay a hundred grand more to get a brand new car. A major flaw is the drooping nose that makes you play guessing games whether or not the front is about to hit something. But the 1.8-liter engine should be pretty powerful enough and efficient as well.
yes, sir! it's the 2.0 i-vtec. it's pretty fast when i test drove this morning. hinataw ko mula sa u-turn from eastwood upto sa u-turn sa ortigas extension. mabilis naman. ayoko nung 2.4 version. nasira yung accord dun sa pagpalit nung napakapangit na pwet. parang hinati. i like this version better. ganda ng tindig eh. lalo na yung pwet. ganda nung tail light red and white.

so the civic is the main choice here... alright. will go to honda tomorrow to submit my requirements. just hope my financing gets approved.

thanks everyone! kung may insights pa kayo tuloy lang. papa-process ko pa lang naman yung application for financing. dun sa accord kase na-approve na ako. upto next week pa ang aking final decision. really appreciate the replies. thanks!
