General Civic Talk - honda civic or 1970 camaro

should i get a medium fast honda civic for my first car or a fast 1970 camaro they both are the same price

For a first car i would go with the civic, do you have pictures of both of them? and prices too.

umm no pictures but the civic looks like the white one in ur signature
and they both cost $3,200

I would go with the civic. You dont want to kill yourself in the fast camaro and civics are way fun to drive! But its your choice...

ok like how are civics fun to drive arent they the same as other cars or wat

I am guessing for 3,500 the camaro probably needs a good bit of work... I would go with the civic.

Civics aren't insanely fast but they handle really well. The only reason I am selling mine is because it is an automatic and since I am selling it anyway I want a rear wheel drive car.

the camaro the only thing that is wrong with it is that the seats are torn and its paint is primered and also everything inside of it is taken out like the door door panels

well the camaro has some issues apparently does the civic have any probs?

ummm ya i remember he said somthing is wrong with the vtec
or someting like that is wrong with it

.

I never understood the whole droping trucks thing. You buy a truck to haul things or go off roading with, a lowrider gas guzzler doesn't make any sense at all.

A civic will be reliable and fun, and good platform for cheap mods. If thats not enough for you to sway towards honda than nothing will.

Hey idk man but if it was me i would take the civic as long as i could fix the prob but idk your choice.

ok well i dont kno wat im a do
when i get my car the only place i will probably be goin is to school and home

well getting the civic will save on gas mileage compared to the camaro....

ya but another thing is that my shool is like not even a mile away

If you're a true 'car guy,' can turn a wrench for yourself and like to learn, have a good deal of disposable income, then get the Camaro. You can drive it now, keep it running, and build yourself a car you can pass down to your kids later in life - if you can afford to keep it in the family.

If you don't have any plans like that, don't really care about a car beyond how it looks and whether or not it'll get you to school or not, or don't have a lot of money to invest in repairs and/or gas, then get the Honda.

Having an old-school muscle car is becoming something for the rich and/or mechanically astute anymore.

Unless you're loaded, get a Civic. I'd look for around a '00 EX 5spd, or older. They have about 20HP more than the LX/DX, as well as niceties like PW, PL, AC, cruise, and sunroof. I prefer sedans for their versatility and possible insurance savings. Gas, repairs, and insurance are going to be serious factors for a new driver, and none of them are likely to be getting any cheaper.

Piece together a turbo kit, I/H/E with flow-thru cat, adjustable coilovers with other suspension mods, and some UHP 205/45-16s. Forget all the flashy aesthetic stuff. Take the money you saved on gas, repairs, and insurance and get yourself a small-displacement supermoto bike that gets 50+MPG and doesn't cost much to insure. Take the rest of the money and start a down-payment fund for your first piece of real estate. It'll come in handy when you get out of college.

Why do people post these questions on a Honda Civic forum???:eek:Do you not realise what people are going to be bias towards?!?

Oh yeh get the civic:D:D

Actually, I'd prefer the Camaro myself - but I'm a realistm, and would hate to see a potentially awesome muscle car project turn into some kids' first car, beat to Hell, and wind up in a 'yard in a few years.

so what should i do the camaro or the civic

What year is the civic?

i reallt dont remember like a 1990 somtin around there

Civic FTW!!!!

Ok bud, we keep giving reasons to buy the Honda and you keep rationalizing why you think the Camaro is better. Also, you said that there are no door panels. Try picking up chicks in your beater camaro. Sounds like you don't have the money to buy all new upholstry and a paint job. The honda is going to suit you much better, and they are easy to maintain.

umm no doubt the camaro

thats 1st generation camaro you have there. are you out of your mind to give that. shoot you don't want, ill definitely take it!!!!

i love the 60-70s american muscles cars. IMO way better than civics

2nd-gen, actually. But I feel ya, Bro.

67-69 - First Gen
70-81 - Second Gen
82-92 - Third Gen
93-02 - Fourth (Last) Gen

the door panels and stuff like that are taken out so it could be lighter

Oh brother. Ricer thinking against vintage American Muscle?

Dude - if the Camaro's running right, door panels and interior parts are not going to even be a factor. You could tow a Honda Civic behind the Camaro, and still smoke just anything the import street crowd can throw at you.

Do us all a favor and just get the Civic - you're not worthy of a '70 Camaro.

Civic FTW, then you can be a proper part of the forum


i hope you do know that you dont have to own a civic to be part of this forum. Just have to be a car enthusiast

agreed ill fix that...

I agree with Type RB- a 1970 Camaro is a project car for an establishedperson with extra cash, looking for a car to put $20-40k into. The Civic is more suited for everyday driving, alot more economical, and cheaper to soup up if you want to race it.

I own both types of vehicles ('72 Firebird, '06 Civic, '02 Camry). My Firebird is a typical musclecar-big motor/ 400+ hp, very fast, road race suspension, CHP/ cop magnet. It will smoke or run with with just about anything on the road, but do I want to drive it every day?I take it out probably once a month and wonder how I drove this monster for 10 years.

I'll take my '02 Camry any day of the week for daily driving- it's alot more comfortable, easier on the wallet, and still able to go 80-100 on the freeway without getting noticed. The '06 is my wife's daily driver, it gets even better mileage than the Camry, and is also quick on the freeway (already got one ticket in that car[:@]).

I have a 72 440 dodge charger in college. I drive it 90 miles home every now and then. I bought my civic hatchbackto have some fun in while geting good mileage. The Charger, compairable to the camaro, is a money pit even with a beautiful interior and fresh big block. I bought it for 1500 and spent around 8k on it so far. I got stranded on the highway a few days ago. There is a great reliability disparity between the civic and muscle. Old cars break often unless you cough up the 40k to do everything at once.
