That's tank records, not display calculated.
Only another week or so before I get to go pick up the basket case I'm getting for free  . I've been Insightless for 2 years now and it's been killing me. Currently driving an 04 Civic and it feels like a big fat turtle in comparison. |
interesting, probably because of the weight I suppose.
Anyway I'm going to ask we get back on topic, I seemed to have helped this thread turn into an insight thread.
Anyone have experience with both generations of civic HX??
When I told my mom about getting a 96-2000 civic hx, she was telling me I should go for something newer, but I'm not sure that's a good idea or not.
Personally I like the 2000 era best, especially the facelifted version of that generation.
I haven't driven either though, I've only driven a 2-door civic from the previous generation (pre 1996) but I assume it's similar
