guys, am in need of ur expertise in cars,

am planning to buy a 2nd hand HONDA CIVIC SIR 2000model..but i heard from numerous people that its half good & d others say its bad,, anu ba tLga?!?
wt are the pros & cons of the car? specifically the 99&2000s??

Good if you get one in stock trim... bad only it you get one that's been raced and crashed...

Seriously, though, who's saying it's a bad car? The interior may not be as loaded as other top-of-the-line cars of its time, but controls are all easy to use, the AC is decent, suspension is supple and not too stiff, engine is very durable and the looks are nice.

Aside from lower fuel economy compared to the VTi (understandable, and actually not bad considering the engine's amazingly high redline and 160+ hp), there's absolutely nothing wrong with a Civic SiR when compared to any 1.6 sedan of the same time period. Secondhand value is very high because of the power and longevity of the engines, though.

as what niky said, pag may nakita kang maayos na 2nd hand ok yan.

Pros:

- No direct competitor here
- Quick and nice-sounding engine, especially with racing filter change
- Chassis a perfect balance of ride and handling

Cons:

- Torque? What's that?
- Brakes not as powerful as engine, let alone no ABS
- No airbags as well
- Hard to find a unit that wasn't modified and/or raced

Try to find a model that's owned by an older person. Some people bought the SiR simply because it's the top Civic, with no intention of racing.

yan din ang gripe ko sa SiR, no abs and airbag.
