Honda Civic 96-00 Ups/Downs

[raikonnen]

hey dudes

gusto ko lang share mga gusto ko and ayaw about the Civic EK 96-00

meron ako 97 Civic VTi

Wants:
Power/Vtec kc e.. kahit SOHC ok padin
reliable...never pa ako overheat
Doors....ok pa sumara compared sa mazda familia namin na mas bago
ok ang ride....(pag ayos mga ilalim)
Dami parts for upgrade....
khit saan ka magpunta madami rin oem surplus... "pang vtec" lang sasabihin mo
Taas resale value padin for a 9year old car

Dont Want
Central locks...nagloloko palagi
Power windows(driver)- mabagal na
Antenna...ayaw bumaba pero dati now bumaba na ewan ko kung bkit
upper arm madaling masira
walang adjustment ng camber, bibili ka pa ng camber kit
mga bushings madali rin masira

share nyo naman mga experience nyo sa civic nyo

thanks!

96 vti
up- good over all performance

down- power antenna 2x nang nasira

Good
- responsive VTEC with relentless reliability
- handles nicely without sacrificing ride
- best-looking 4-door Civic so far
- interior spacious enough
- great aircon
- doesn't look lifted on stock suspension

Bad
- Radiator top is plastic, cannot be mended when leaks start
- Automatic gearbox rough; upshifts taking longer than other Hondas
- Power antenna gets broken easily
- Moisture/water entering right headlight (saw many others like this)
- Power door lock system a nightmare (better off without them, just lock doors responsibly)
- Suspension not that sturdy

parang madali nga masira yung suspension parts sa '99 Civic namin dati... hehe.

oo nga, for some reason medjo hindi kasing tibay ng mcpherson struts yung wishbone configuration ng mga civic.

Pero pag LXi ang ride nyo.

1. hindi plastic ang radiator
2. hindi sirain ang antena (dahil hindi power antenna)

Never owned one but on paper the lack of safety features like ABS and airbags in all model variants go against it.

[WeaponX]

Yung suspension lang reklamo ko. Parang madaling masira. Uneven roads pa naman sa amin. Yung Corolla namin, kahit may konting problem sa suspension, hindi nya iindahin yung mga lubak. Sa Civic, pag may problem na, ramdam na ramdam mo. At isa pa, yung paint, parang ang daling magasgasan kahit don sa mga bagong models. Nabasa ko sa ibang thread na hindi daw talaga maganda paint nila.

Yung antenna, nasiraan lang ako dahil sa kapabayaan ko. Sumabit sa sampayan.

Sana nga nagkaron ng ABS and airbags.

Anyway, I still like the overall performance ng Civic.

Lxi 96

+ good aircon, one of the smallest turning radius, very reliable engine
- power locks, windows, auto tranny not very refined

overall a good budget sedan WITH the ability to be upgraded. Dami parts for that!

+ interior space, long wheelbase
- sabi ng kaibigan malakas sa gas 'yung VTi A/T
