any reaosnably priced ones that people have personal experience with? i wanna get one, but i really dont wanna pay $1000 for a name brand. It's just gotta be a basic deck, and i'd perfer to get some personal experience opinions to make sure the menus aren't ugly and difficult.
Nav would be a nice touch too.

well for a GOOD double din.... plan to pay at least 500bucks for a used one or 700+ on a new one depending on what you want to get...
i think i paid like 700bucks for my alpine IVA-W200 brand new last year.... they got another newer models so just search for alpine double din....
i love this radio! had to do alittle trimming on the plastic bezel and mounting holes alittle to fit better in my 99s dash BUT great radio/dvd/6.5inch touch screen radio. i bought a screen protector first to keep the screen scratch free. a sirius satalite tuner for it, and a video bypass for it.
so IMO pay the extra money.... the quality of the screen is the main thing you want! like in any monitor! the cheaper radios ive heard have HORIBLE screen viewing angles.... which means if you are to far to the left or right or even up or down angle from the screen the screen would look black.... a good screen/monitor should be viewable with a great picture at any angle!

Check mine out, its a Dual in-dash. It only cost me $450, and came with more than enough options. DVD, I can hook up a camera to it, ps2/wii/ect, and all that good stuff. Its really nifty and fun, I like it alot. Check my gallery to see it .

From my experience, if you try to save money on anything audio related you'll pay later
you shouldn't buy a cheap one, then expect it to last very long
not to mention with the new laws today, touch screens and dvd players have a very limited tampering ability while driving, you have to stop the car before you can really do much except maybe change a song or the volume
also for a civic, the issue now is that you have to connect it to your handbrake and pull it up 5 times before you can even get it to work
there's a trick around this by grounding to your antenna and a few other things but, they suck and also don't do well in the long run...
A touch screen is a bit much especially for a civic anyway, why do you want a touch screen?
