Default Hi I just got my first civic!

Its an 03 4dr DX. I know its 7t gen but thats really all I know. I know nothing about hondas and civics other than the fact I like how it looks and drives, and just reading on here. I've had nothing but GM's in the past (not by choice but they were great cars) but I dont know much about this car what do I need to know about my car? any help would be great.

well like I couldn't find what engine it is A-B?. It's an automatic[&:] so I think a turbo is def out but if I decided to supercharge it later would it tear the trany up? and are there any well known defects w/the 03 DX that I should tackle before I start to up grade?
