Default EVERYONES View on 1999 Civic EX

I am looking at buying one right now. I'm looking for input from you guys. Pros, Cons, highlights, downfalls, whatever! Its a beautiful car, in perfect condition inside and out, and only has 45000 on the ODO. It is a 2-door 5-speed as well. I'm probably going to pick it up tomorrow, maybe saturday, unless i see too many nay sayers. I know quite a bit about cars in general, but am looking for input from people who have been driving them for a while, this will be my first Honda.

you know, ive never heard of any common problems with the 6 gens... DC and I myself have a 6 gen. I think hes gotta '99 2 door, and I gotta converted soccer mom to bad *** '00 4 door. apparently the 6 gens are one of the best made... I could be wrong but thats from what I have read ans seen and heard.

I had a 97 lx 4 dr, and loved it. then traded it for a 00 ex 2dr and love it even more. Get cars and easy to work on. They are very well built cars. Plus parts for civic's are usually cheaper than other '4' cyl. Congrats if you get it.

i have a 96 ex the only thing i could think of is if you pull up to the light and the person next to you wants to go please please try your best not to get your *** handed to you.

in essence choose your battles wisely till you get some upgrades or FI or something
