There is no wrong buying a civic. It still market leader for C-segment car globally. In USA, Jan 2012 statistic show Honda sell 21,883 units civic compare 10,900 units of Elantra for the same month although Elantra win North America COTY award.
Like it or not, some poor review just minority but majority buyers can accept civic as a good product.
Maybe Civic not the leader in term of spec but it still competitive & well accepted.

yea. just like vw, they might be boring and very dull looking in the interior. but engineering know-how and handling is not easy to master by other company.

by changing an outlook doesnt mean the car will turn to god like.

civic is successful because, auntie/uncle will buy it for reliability, young man will buy it for sporty look, ricer will buy it for handling part, very young man will buy it to show off due to honda badge, also not forgetting, the RESALE value.

from the above, the elantra has this, good looking exterior, and (hopefully) relatively lower price.

i've tried the crz before when it first launched and im (my mum) is waiting for the cvt version to arrive. firstly, ill be comparing the crz with civic 1.8 (in terms of power) and it is faster then civic in sports mode but just in the starting range and not the race to the top speed. handling, imo feels like a smaller GTi. Design wise, i have nothing to say . yes, it uses plastic inside but it aint the ones you see in forte or city etc. it feels solid and the black coloured interior helps as well. gotta hand it down to honda on this zippy mobile. The downside is, well a 'coupe'. Dont expect anyone above 160cm to fit behind. And, alot of blind spots lol.

Added on February 21, 2012, 9:42 amhaha if you are really in the higher society, there's nothing to show off with a Honda badge, not even an Accord. Hmm yes, VW's interior are dull but at least they have the consistency to remain classy. Civic... well the current one did impress me when it first launched and probably set my hopes too high for the 2012 civic. But no doubt, its a pretty reliable car because im driving one. I am initially thinking of changing to the new Avante since everyone in my family is changing cars lol but all this hoohaa made me think twice.

Someone said 5th march... lolx

civic good RV mah, so any regrets in buying it still will reward you with enough decent residual cash to buy another new model with every turn of the model change... you buy low RV car might end up using it for 2 generations model change..

my civic is just 1.8 and like i said, CRZ can tapau maybe 0-60? then to 100 probably lose around 1-2 seconds. so you can only tapau people in traffic light if you are driving a 2.0 and then i would say you'll be disappointed but since its a 1.5 so lets be fair as well hahaha . i like cars that have the pull back factor when you floor the pedal and crz gave me a mini-orgasm. lol

sounds good for a wife's car

Maybe most of the monthly salary contribute to the car, still got money contribute chick?

RV is the only reason i got the Civic back then since i've just got into a stable job. In Malaysia, RV will always be a big factor as we don't get cars as cheap as in the US. If you are actually working, its easy for you to say 'nah, i dont mind buying a Hyundai. Any car will lose its value after 10 years.' but believe me, when you want to decide on buying it, you will think twice or thrice. RV is one of the factors that is holding me back from buying the new avante. The fact that you may lose up to 10k (assumption) a year makes my pocket shiver haha.
