i had an integra and i'm 6'4". It was way too low to bend down and too little room unless i tilted the seat way back and slid it back so I was sitting in the rear of the car. Was ridiculous. plus it was an auto.

Civic aughta do what you want it for just fine. I have a Corolla, 40 mpg, 5 speed, 244K on the clock, 56 miles each way to work, miles I don't wanna put on a car I give a flying f... about. What do people think of a 40 year old driving a piece like this? As though I gave a rats ass, right? Its there so you can spend your money elsewhere. Exhaust, brakes and tires all this 100+ mile a day car cost me. The Civic'll do the same thing. Congrats, you got a ricer!

I would definitely prefer the 5spd for the extra 3~mpg and the ability to drive up the mountain....im 6 2 and im not too tall for it are you goliath or something?

I never considered a Corolla and didnt know they got that good gas mileage....i guess it wouldnt hurt to keep my eyes open for one of those

i drive a dohc 5 speed neon everyday. i wouldn't have it any other way. my real car is in a safe place...the garage. on the weekends it is fun time, but uh oh i'm doing a rebuild right now!
must be nice to park in the garage
mom wont let me park the 5.0 in the garage b/c it leaks oil

i never said it didn't leak oil or coolant, mine is real tired. anyway, a 4 banger can be a lot of fun if its a stick. you feel yourself rowing through the gears playing racecar and having fun. look down your only going 5 over.

Now everyone in the world will know I wanna bang t
so true... i drive my saturn like its a race car..
my mustang gets driven much nicer.
I'd rather pay more at the pump and drive a decent car than drive some POS econobox. Driving a Civic or even riding in one is just downright embarassing and IMO you can't put a price on dignity.
It's kind of ironic that many people would even consider driving the antithesis of the Mustang.
Good luck with your POS
wow have you ever thought of what it would be like to get more than double the gas mileage and keep miles off your car??
sure it might be a piece, but ill get killer mpg's, a chance to actually work on the stang without having to get it on back on the road (because its my only car), and i wont have to worry about stupid drivers & deer
I'm sorry but over time I will be saving money....not in the short-term but in the long-term (my college days) for sure

Grow the **** up.
My friend has a 94 Civic and runs the **** out of it. Has 240k miles and still runs like a champ lol. I'll probably get one in the future.
i guess some people would just rather pay $3+/gallon & only get 15-17mpg than to drive a car thats going to save them a lot of $ over the long run

Think about it
A 97 with that amount of miles is going to start alot of problems. Once you start driving it everything is going to mess up on you. Heres the think about it part, Once you add up the price of car, insurance, small repairs, gas, and title change plus you will be keeping up your mustang I assume. All of that is going to cost more than the gas your using while driving your mustang. But I don't meen to discourage you. Good Luck

lol no you can't, but let's just say dignity's on vaca right now:
4 wheels, 3 of them un-bent, and enough faux woodgrain and blue cloth to last a man 2 lifetimes. you think driving a beater is bad, try driving........a LUMINA!
problems?? i highly doubt a 97 honda is going to fall apart when i start driving it....i know MANY people who have hondas that are well over 200k with only a water pump change and timing belt
let me review the situation again....i have to pay for the car payments through the summer when my mom is going to take over (late high school graduation present) insurance will be her in name as well
so basically my only expense is gas & small repairs...them two combined will be much cheaper than driving the Mustang 300 miles/week over the summer and a 175 mile roundtrip (every other wknd) to and from school once summer is over
