They had one of those at the autoshow here in Toronto. The engine is heavy in that car, the whole front end bounces around too much, and there is like absolutely no space under the hood of that thing

I think that thing looks tight. I like the older civics better, but I'd buy that. Score one for Honda.

that car was gay. that photo shoot was the worst one i think ive ever seen. the motor was pretty but the styling was way to high tech for a hatchbak. looks like its doing the limbo, and they must have stolen those headlights from ford.cant say i dont respect it. im sure some of us will see them blow our doors off.

like someone said on this post, it's looks like a minivan, the seats are nice, but too wide on the shoulders so they are not comfortable for a guy my size, it also looks like honda forgot to put wheels on this civic, just look at the gap between the fenders and the wheels, it's way too big! the shifter is ugly but effective. I just hate the damn car, plus it's not fast at all, check this month Motor trend, there is a comparison test on small pocket rockets, it was the slowest one I think out of the 4 cars tested, so in conclusion, IT JUST PLAIN SUCKS! wait for the protege turbo in 2003, now that will by a driver!
