I currently own a 96 Honda Civic, but I want to upgrade to a Honda Civic or Accord. I was thinking about getting a 1999-2001. I don't like the 2002 Civics cause they look like a hatchback. Anyway, I live in Houston and am wanting to do research online to find used Hondas, but I can't find anything. I was wondering if anyone can help me. Have any ideas or tell me where the hell you bought your Honda and how you found it.

Your current ride is fine, just swap the engine, tansmission and clutch then you will have a newer car.

what's wrong with the current car ?

08-12-2002, 12:53 PM

i LOVE Accords, but you have a nice car, is there a certain reason you want to get rid of it??
I would check with a honda dealership nearby and see if maybe you could trade it in. You probably will only have to come up with 2-4,000 dollars to upgrade.

Otherwise just work with what ya got, you can do alot to modify your car.

I dont like the newer generations style i like my 5th gen the best it seems like you can modify the looks alot more, but I would love to do an engine swap when i can

Yeah the newer body style is not near as nice as the old style.

If you're looking at 2001 Coupe's, their basically the same as the 02's and 03's. 2000 was the last of the old body styles but different still from a 96.. so you'd have to look at '00's and under.

The only thing about the '01's and up is they're bigger inside and a bit more roomie. You really don't have to go out and just buy a whole new car, you could really just modify yours. Alot of people have older civics that are just as nice...stick with it I think.

Hey Hondachick, I just noticed that your vehicle listed is an '02 Accord, guess you already made your decision
