Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Scoops new car

Ok peeps. With shrek pretty much damned to the scrapyard its time to start thinking about a new car. IM thinking about something cheap to buy,cheap(ish)to insure,very reliable(even when tuned)(which points too japan)and rather nippy

Choice 1 is a honda civic EK 1.5 VTEC
Choice 2 Honda civic EG(any engine bigger than the 1.35)

If the worst cxomes to the worst
3.Brand new ford ka with free insurance

Im also open to suggestions from u guys.What should i do. Anyone got loadsa info on the civic. I dont understand them really with the silly names like EP,EK,EG,EK9. Whats up with mk1,2,3,4,5,5a,and 6 like the ol' ezza

If you can afford insurance on the 1.6 VTI, go for that, fast, reliable and loads of bits for it.

If you can afford a Coupe, go for one of them, look better (IMO) not loads about and more practical.

The Coupe VTI is like rocking horse poop, very difficult to get hold of, but suprise suprise, i am selling one for a very reasonable price.

You won't be disappointed with your civic, which ever you get.

The EK 1.5 VTEC is a great all rounder. Looks good, is quick, is v.reliable, and doesn't cost the earth to run either

Dont get a KA,
Dont get a civic

Be different mate!

306 Rallye

Just go Japanese you cant realy go wrong matey!

heres a different one, a robin reliant with a 2.0 turbo from a scooby! lol, and maybe a 4 wheel conversion!

a four wheel conversion pmsl.

You could always convert it to 3X3

Dont buy Ford buy Japanese!

i agree japanese. goin with an eg civic would be different as there aren't any in cw are there??

Any good engines in the EG's? Like a 1500 or 1600 VTEC?


Thinkin of a ka for the free insurance really. And its a mo-fo-in go kart

I think new cars are a waste of time, the amount of value you loose.

Put it this way, the £10k you spend on your average 1.2 clio, you could get a 3 year old prestigue car, more reliable and better to drive.

Personally i think you are making a big mistake buying a brand new car, especially as it will loose huge amounts in the first 3 years.

Sweet EG there. I want one in black or white and i'd do some sweet stuff to it. Seem to be rare tho the civics and the good engines are like rockin horse poo. Want a B16/A

New car idea out of window i think

Go for one of the mate, there none in Cw and you don't see may modded ones about. They are good and reliable, oh yeah and they are japanese, not much more needs to be said.

ax_125 was thinking the same as me!! do this man, and its green!!
