90s/early 2000s Civics were great. Comfortable ride and well maintainable. WTF is mom on about here, an ‘04 Civic is a great car.
I dunno. My mom was in a wreck with one and bit off her bottom lip when she hit the steering wheel because the air bags didn’t go off. We later found out that was a surprisingly common problem for that model year.
Damn, can they reattach stuff when something like that happens?
They did reattach it, but the nerves were never the same so it felt numb and cold to her from then on, leading to her chewing on it because she couldn’t feel it normally anymore.
it's the shitbox that won't break under you, and won't get you broke either.
Never been in one but they definitely seem nice. driving any 90s/2000s sedan would definitely make me like a date better, especially given how many people I know drive horrible modern SUVs
Definitely. I miss driving sedans and small hatchbacks, up until a few years ago they’re all I’d ever driven.
I currently have a Kia Sportage only because I moved to a rural area and needed something that could deal with country roads and off-road. Otherwise I’d still be driving my old ‘07 Accent, that thing gave me zero problems in well over 100k miles.
I sometimes miss my '01. Don't miss the leaking taillight seals causing humidity problems.
My '10 Versa's having the same humidity problems from so many rear end collisions. The cabin smells so moldy and nothing seems to work. It's a shame really because that thing can drive for another 100k miles easily.
Get some of these and it should take care of the moisture issues. One should last at least 3-4 months. Replace as needed. Then just find some kind of fabric cleaner and air freshener and you should be good to go.
Oh it's worse than that. The rainy season just ended and for a long while I could hear water sloshing around in the undercarriage by braking too hard. It's not something than can be easily fixed with some dessicant at this point. I sprayed the shit out of the cabin with room deodorant and left the windows open for a while. It helps a little but it's like coating shit with sugar.
Find where it pools and drill a hole. Make sure there is nothing on the other side of where you're drilling of course.
