hi a want to buy my first civicbut a dont know what one to go for any suggestions???????????

 

uh how old are u?

 

18, turn 19 in may

 

well a lower model like DX/LX/HX will be cheaper, not as many options (power windows/doors, A/C, etc.) and also not as powerful usually. EX is a step up from that, usually with a slightly more powerful engine with VTEC, maybe a sun roof, power accessories, and also a bit more expensive. The SI is the sport model. Usually with a noticably more powerful engine and maybe a couple other upgraded parts, along with the acessories of the EX. SI's are also the most expensive. If i was you, if i could find a low-mileage, close to stock 99 or 00 (6th gen) SI, that'd be prime, but those are hard to come by. 01-05 (7th gen) Civic's are just about the worst choice if you want to build it or use any type of F/I, and 06+ (8th gen) are expensive, but have quite a bit of aftermarket support behind them, so are a better choice than the 7th gens if you plan on doing some major engine modifications. I've got a 99 DX coupe, manual transmision, and i abnoslutely love it. Given me some electrical problems lately, but i guess thats to be expected after living 8 Michigan winters, but other than that it's reliable as hell, and i would expect other Civic's to follow suit. Got mine for $4500 two years ago, so a base model 6th gen can usually be had pretty cheap. And make sure the Civic you buy is as close to stock as you can get it, you dont want a Civic that a teenager drove the crap out of thinking he was out of the Fast & Furious.

 

6th gen sedan is the only way to go. Or that's just me. Get one that suits your taste (and budget) Look around here or online and find something you like.

 

a would want to go for about a 1.6 any sugestions arount tht area.

 

pretty sure all 6th gens are 1.6 liters, they are all either d16y7's, d16y8's (all EX's, and 96-98 SI's), or b16a2's (99-00 SI)

 

I love my 98 EX coupe. She is comfy, and but still a blast to drive. Aftermarket suspension, and brake upgrades, throw on a CAI and hit the road. All and all, you could get a faster civic or a more cushy one. But I think the 6th Gens have the balance just about right for my taste anyway.

 

Dothe civic coupe's have alot of aftermarket parts????

 

I know for the 96-98 there arer freaking TONS!!! Now a lot of them are total crap, but there are plenty of good aftermarket parts out there for all civics.

((And DONT BUY CHEAP PARTS!)) Save your money and get good parts that will last.
