First new car 2013 Civic EX
Bought my very first new car on Thursday. I always told myself I never would but the wife has put her foot down. Once we get a house with garage space I can then purchase something much MUCH older and be happy.
Dont get me wrong, I enjoy the features a lot. Being able to plug in a flash drive and have literally ALL of music collection at my finger tips is awesome. The cabin is much quieter than her 1999 EX and feels like a Mercedes compared to my 89 LX.
I do not appreciate the way the front end feels so huge, nor do I care to have the A pillars in full view but what can you do.. Today's safety requirements have changed the look of cars for the worse..
Anyways.. here are the details
2013 Honda Civic Ex w/Navigation
$20,964.84 OTD
12 miles
Polished Metal Metallic w/black interior

Overall the car is nice. I low balled and fought like heck to get them under 20k but gave up. I still think I got a great deal, I just don't fall into the category of buyers who are desperate to get into a new car. I'm not impressed with how the car feels suspension wise. If I put new shocks and springs on our '99 EX I bet it would feel quite similar.
Goal for the car is to serve as my daily driver car. I make monthly trips to the valley and Sacramento so now I have a reliable way to do so. I guess it will look good pulling in and out of the office. Responsible, simple and not flashy.
Mods will be subtle. I ordered weathertech floor mats because I am around a lot of children. I will swap out all the bulbs for LED and I am debating if I should stop there.
I have a set of 17x8 RPF1's that I can pick up any day from a close friend.. but then I would have to lower it.. and well see I suppose

I dont like them either but I am not sure I ant to start swapping stuff and lowering the car
its a 1.8 sohc rated at like 140 hp or somethingThose wheels aren't the best looking, but if you keep it all stock then it will be easier to not get the mod bugWhat engines do those have anyway now?
I like the interior, and the rear end.. its just so long I am so used to the short dash boards of the mid 90's civics.
Thanks man
Thanks foos, nice to see you are still around! I agree.. some LED's and floor mats and I think I will leave it alone.
