Maturing is realizing that there is more to a car than the 0-60, top speed, etc. This car was (and is) just plain fun to experience. For the 30 somethings out there, Savagegeese has a great video on the nostalgia of this car and what it meant to our generation then and now.
Savagegeese is great. They get it
Wtf you talking about bro, ppl in their 20s love the EK.... the EG is better tho 🤷♂️
@MotorWeek, oh MY god. What I would do to purchase a brand spanking new 1999 Civic Si at that paltry price @ 4:53 of $17,860?? Now before you flip your lid, recent mint condition, low mileage 1999 Civic Si's in that same colour sold on those auction website for $36,500 bucks during the pandemic lockdown. How much is 36,500 back in 1999 adjusted for inflation today? 63 freakin grand holy.... 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@bubblelex5051 Nah that was people in their 20s in 2000s. The 20 year olds nowadays are lame ass low IQ Edgars that put Chargers on a pedestal and love to attend side shows.
Integra gsr was better imo
This was my first car back in 2000. I was 18 and worked over 50 hours a week for a year saving for a down payment. I purchased the Electron Blue right off the showroom floor. Something I'll always remember. Thank you for this video MotorWeek!
Still have it?
I had the flamenco black. My buddies had the red and the blue. We would back in to parking spots lined up next to each other . We thought we were so f’n cool 😂
Si blue was the best
@@andydelassus2734 I always wanted the black, they are so much more rare. Every EM1 i've seen was blue lol
@@gibememoni they made red and black ex and dxs
Man, I wanted one of these so badly back in ‘99. In some ways the old one is still more appealing to me than the current Si.
Oh definitely. New Si is basically a limousine compared to this 99' model. I have zero desire for the new one.
i still want one even today !! back in 99 , my friend bought a brand new one , we race on the freeway with my 87 rx7 turbo with intake and full exhaust, my car barely faster than the SI ,
99 SI is a very good car!
@@mikea5205 Not to mention that steering and clutch feel are a thing of the past thanks to electric assist and dual-mass flywheels.
Man i remember one of my friends dad had a si back in 05 and it was turbo'd, i wanted to buy it off him when i came out of school but he sold it before i even graduated and that ended up going down hill. 😭
Agreed, I would rather have this than a new one 💯
The golden era of Honda is hard to beat!
The golden era is NOW you fool
90s in general is hard to beat
Still want a small but powerful na engine like this civic's B16!
@Ed Findlay no it doesn’t. Especially not in 1999…
Lmfao Esslinger 2.3 go brrrr
Kudos to Honda, the Civic Si is still all-manual 23 years later. 👏👏👏👏
@Ed Findlay defaults the whole purpose of the car imo, might as well just save your money and buy an EX or a Sport. but to each their own
@@reverbxd I've never driven a manual car but just the thought of shifting through gears racing down a back road in a beater car seems like so much fun
@@frazierl7898 It is, I use to do that in my 1995 Honda Acord Coupe with the 5 speed. The car was slow but, Rev happy, you could drive it hard and fast because it was a slow car and incredibly reliable.
except now they only offer it only in a stupid ugly 4 door family sedan
The current Civic Si has been upstaged by the Civic Type R. The Type R can stay manual only but I would give the Si an 8-speed automatic(no CVT, period).
160hp from a 1.6 N/A engine was pretty phenomenal for 1999,it still is today.
Honestly, I mean even with a turbo 100 hp per liter was impressive, no less without one
The Quad 4 w41 was putting out 195hp in 1990. And even in 99, the stock 2.4l twin cam was putting out 150hp and 155lb ft. I used to stomp Hondas without even trying. Even my anemic, rusted out, v6 Beretta was able to give a number of these a good whipping. They weren't anything special, but they were a big part of our culture back then.
@@Lrules364 Your V6 Beretta would smoke itself trying to start
@@Lrules364 too bad the car weighed so much, just like most american compacts.
@@shinobusensui9395 not really. The W41 cars weighed 2400lbs. And most of the N bodies tipped the scales at a few hundred pounds over that. American cars and far more flexible and maneuverable than people give them credit for.
These were great cars. The boot was big enough for your new DVD players and it was still small and practical enough to safely drive under a semi trailer
Haha nice reference 😉

Well played good sir, well played.
Those were 1995 civics.
@@qmto They could have been manufactured from 1992 to 1995...
The golden era for Honda (and most Japanese brands). With so much being electronically controlled on cars nowadays, right down to the steering and throttle, there is a physical connection between driver and car that is lost. That's what makes older cars like this so appealing to drive. Cars have become too refined and numb. They are just not engaging to drive anymore.
The thing about cars that are engaging is that they are much more safer because of it. Ive owned a manual(im american of course so manuals are alien to everyone) and while i did think it was easy to control it kept my hands and mind occupied, i could barely even have my phone in my hand because i had to shift.
Would you say that about the 2022 Civic Type R tho?
@@RunnJake Bluetooth and other hands-free devices have solved that problem for a couple decades now.
The steering is still mechanically connected, it's just that the electric power steering has a numb feeling compared to an hydraulic one
umm the golden era is NOW you boomer
Had a black Si when they were new and sold it years after with about 100k miles on it. Never made a peep, normal maintenence of oil, pads and a battery was all it needed. Cars like this one, the Prelude and Integra where truly special! I miss them!
100000 miles is just getting broken in for a Honda
1:36 John: NO AUTOMATIC IS AVAILABLE, AND THATS A REFRESHING CHANGE!
Still rings true today with current SI
Except that the japanese 4 door ferio si did come auto lol
@@divin3kag3242 We are not talking about the 4 Door Ferio but the Civic Coupe! lol
This car is the very definition of “it’s more fun to drive a slow car fast then a fast car slow”.
That’s the slogan/phrase for which I live by today, sure your sports car will be faster then my off-road-able-dad-wagonal-mobile, but my Subie wagon will get there too and not too far behind you, not to mention that it will get there efficiently and with total safety and comfort…then when we get there and the going gets muddy and rough, your fast car will break or get stuck on the harry scary off-road terrain, all while my Subie with 8.7inches of ground clearance effortlessly conquers and goes over any and all crazy harry terrain that gets thrown it’s way…….thug life…
I also live by this saying and currently love my manual Civic. Honda is great 👍
0-60 in 7.6 seconds is in my book anything but slow. Even the NA Miata with the biggest engine took almost a second longer to get to 60
Oh man! I've always loved this car! The Civic coupes from 92-00 were the best. So timeless.
Me too. The new Civic Sis are pretty good too.
For sure, even those late 80s have some credit.
Facts! No ugly 4 doors.
No love for the EF's? CRX or DA Integra? I appreciate the mid 90s EG/EK EM1 and DCs. But IMHO the 89-91 was the golden age for Honda. Love my 89 b16 crx!
@@Pharaoh_The_Great real talk the sedan ugly four doors started in 06 and for some reason honda didn't want hatches or coupe in there test of time forefront anymore they decided to compare towards subbie and evos and it kinda messed up the coupe market up I barely see coupe si hooked up anymore they get alot of hate now in the Honda community especially were I'm at I remember when I got a sedan 98 civic back in 08 the coupe and hatch market was strong back than especially summer of 2008 and after 2010 everyone wanted the sedans 😪
This was my dream obtainable car when I was in high school in the late 90s and in this color. None of the SI’s since have lived up to this one.
I'd like to present you with the 8th gen si. Drive one, and your opinion will change on what the best si is
@@connor-cw8ul I think he just primarily means the 8th gen looks lame from a external perspective.
One of my coworkers bought a used 00 model with like 10k miles on it in spring of 01. I literally rode to the theater in that car to see F&F for the first time. I never could have imagined the legend these cars would become in the few years that followed
These were everywhere for a couple years. Always loved showing them my 95 Vtec Preludes taillights. All love. Miss these days. They were just better. In cars, and everything else too generally. 🤘
This will always be one of my dream cars... flamenco black pearl, B18C5 swap, full bolt on, mugen m7s, ctr headlights... thing would hurt a lot of feelings and look soo good doing it!
@Sohc_Vtec yeah but don't ruin an Si for that. Use a DX or EX
@@nycityboi101 i would leave the b16a and just tune that. I wouldnt go more than 400hp tho. I want to keep it clean.
@@thirdstar9255 mugen components are premium parts, no garbage there.
All that and it still would get spanked by my m45 2.4l twin cam :)
@@Lrules364 bahahhahaahaha you're delusional
I had just had my '98 Cypress Green Pearl Coupe serviced in 1999 and when I went out to the lot, parked next to it was a brand-new '99 Si in Electron Blue Pearl. I had no idea what an Si was and thought it was just another Civic in a new color. Then I looked inside and saw the orange gauge cluster and the stick. I was like "whoa....what the heck is THIS, why are these needles fluorescent orange? Why does this speedometer go up to 140, mine only goes to 120" LOL. I kicked myself for not waiting one more year. Thus began the love affair that finally ended in 2018, when I got a used '15 Si Coupe. Love, love the Si.
My brother bought a 2000 civic si with the same electron blue color brand new. I had a 1998 200sx se-r and we would race each other on a country road, my se-r would pull him off the line and slowly he’d reel me in. I would always win, but he wasn’t a good driver. We swapped cars and I would beat him. Those were good times
I remember when this car came out, can't believe its been over 20 years. Finding one of these clean and stock today is probably impossible.
Wow if we only knew how valuable this car would become today…
How "valuable" is this car now? Lol...
One just sold on bring a trailer bone stock 22k miles for $50k
@@Honda1k lmao. Congrats to the idiot who bought that for $50k lmao
@@Honda1k 20+ years ago. With the cost of inflation, storage, and the fact that you could easily put that cost of car into a CD and get interest upon interest in a CD for 20+ years, plus auction fees, the owner actually lost money.
@@wl6020 wow had the owner did this very specific chain of events he could have made money. Owner could had also invested into Apple or Amazon and buy 5000000 civic sis. What’s even the point of your comment?
When Honda didn't have as many problems as today.
Loved these in the late 90’s early 00’s. Always wanted one of these in electro blue, or an Acura CL Type S. I had to settle for a 98 Civic EX Coupe with the five speed. Even that was a fun little car!
The best car that was ever invented
theres a guy in my area that has one that looks exactly like this, funny enough i talked to an older gentleman that just so happened to know the owner, he said that the guy bought it brand new and kept it clean and original for all these years
My neighbors son had one. It was white with the tall OEM spoiler and he had a big exhaust on it. This was well before F&F became a thing. My neighbors across the street had a 1st gen Solara V6 TRD Supercharged with the appearance package and a manual. Watching this video made me remember I had people that appreciated these cars so close to me; these weren’t on the top of anyones list in Baltimore city. Rare gems.
I always thought they only came in blue, black and red. Never see a white 98-2000 Si before
They didn't come in white
A true Champion and the Canadian SiR and Si trims included ABS and heated mirrors and power moonroof!
It was also offered in a silver color.
This brought back memories as my uncle bought this brand new back in ‘99. I always wanted to ride along him in the Si, as this was the car that really got me interested in the tuner scene. I can’t remember every mod he did to the Si, apart from headers, exhaust, clutch upgrades, short shifter and a tune to take 99 octane, but he did make it faster along with a simple window tint and some TSW wheels that look similar to the 10 spoke Type R wheels.
Sadly he sold it in ‘02 to upgrade to an SUV after having his son. I’m working on saving up to buy another EM1 in Electron Blue for his 50th birthday next year, so he can relive some memories
I remember buying a new 2000 Si. It was a great little car.
One of the holy grail Honda's
It’s funny to hear 195/55/15 tyres being referred as low profile tyres.
I remember when these came out, that Electron Blue Pearl on that body was soo beautiful, still is, one of my friends got one and my other friend got an Integra GSR that same year, I would be happy to have any of those cars right about now
Man this car takes a lot of people BACK! Thank you Motorweek...now do the 2004 TL!
My first car was a 94 EX, id do anything to be able to go back in time and get one of these, what a beautiful timeless design. Shame we will likely never see such beautiful cars on the road again
I remember these when they came out and I always liked the blue Si. I picked up my first ever Civic Si about a month ago. A 2022 Si in Agean blue. After seeing this review and thinking about how the '22 handles and drives, glad to see Honda kept some of the spirit of the original.
This is my favorite Honda Civic of them all.
Love that front double wishbone Civic. So much so, I bought new 1998 DX Hatch and 2000 EX-G. 22 years later, my father-in-law is still driving the 2000 EX with all original components. My current 2017 6MT Civic LX Sedan comes closest to ability of my old tuned 1998 DX Hatchback. The K20C2 naturally aspired vtec engine is a huge improvement over old 8k (redline) powerplant and GenX's chassis is almost as good as the old EK6 chassis.
I was waiting for this one!!! Thank you so much for the upload!
Thanks for sharing it with us Motorweek
It’s better looking than the latest civic and most brand new cars
I just went in there, and Hector is gonna be runnin' three Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just came into Harry's and he ordered three T-66 Turbos, with NOS, and a MoTeC system exhaust.
Based comment
MONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICA
Miss my 2000 Si. So much fun to drive.
I was gonna say "they really nailed the 90s production feel" until I read the description and realized this review actually was from the 90s lol
My first car was a 99 ex and I always looked up to the SI. That civic paved the way for my love of cars, modifying and eventually a career in the Auto industry. I still have a b18c swapped and Jackson racing supercharged 99 integra that I restored with my dad.
Awesome, that was my favorite car! Thanks for uploading these reviews!!
The most fun Civic I never got to own… my older brother had one and I had so many fond memories as a little lad in it
My neighbor had this exact spec. Electron Blue is a true stunner. He was just 17, 18 at the time. I was 15, and only had my Learner's Permit. I wasn't into hot hatchbacks or JDM "pocket rockets" back then. My tastes were more big v8, detroit muscle cars. I had a '70 GTO in my garage that I'd work on with my father, and in my h/s Auto Tech class on the weekdays. The 90's Si's are a true gem, and even still today. I marvel at one driving down the road, and just hope the owners never let them go, or stop driving them as they were meant to be driven.
I also love and adore the early Lexus ES300's, just subtle, simple 90's/early 00's JDM design that just works! They weren't quick, but they certainly hold their own in terms of reliability while of course having that sense of Toyota longevity and roadworthiness if kept up with basic maintenance.
i love "back in the 80s there was a short-lived period of hot hatchbacks" Exhibit A the Golf GTI 😂
Oh the good old days. I had a 1996 model. My first car and I love it.
Still own my 2000 SI. I just had it repainted last year with the original flamenco black pearl. It currently has 160k miles and runs great.
I remember this si came out when I was just about to graduate from college. A buddy of mine and I were talking about getting one after we graduate.
This is still the Civic for me.
Drilled rotors on that car works great and applies the breaks better even on rainy days than those factory ones. High performamce all season tires are good recommended tires as well. It was a great ride in those days. Back then 160hp was fast.
I drive a 2020 Si now, crazy they are still manual only. Also remember when you could get a clean em1 for like $6k?
Got mine for 6k in 2009. Still have it
Watched this again(7/5/2022) and noticed how it has over 37000 views much more than the rest of the videos(in order from newest to oldest) until the old Toyota 4Runner SR5 video!! This is a much loved Civic generation!!
I had a 99 in red. Such a fun car! It felt let it had much more power than it did because of the 8k redline. To think they now go for $40-50k unmodified.
Love this civic! Reminding me of the good ol' NFSU days!
I always loved that classic Honda Blue, interior, guages, and engine bay:)
If they made this today, i would be on line to buy one.. the new one is huge, and impossible to see out of.. it's just not as fun to drive. These were an absolute blast to drive, even without the additional HP (And weight) they were just amazing cars to toss around on the weekends, and relax in traffic during the week.. when that VTEC kicked in (Yo!) it really made you grin.. Something these new CVT, hybrid's just can't muster..
I always loved this style of Civic!
I've had one for a week, has details to be fixed, but man, I can tell, this thing all fixed up, is gonna kick ass.
I have de DOHC d16a9 1.6 from 1992. Loving it
I sure wish I could buy one of these brand new today, especially in that electron blue!
1999 was a cool year for car/truck buyers. Two(then) co-workers and myself all bought new vehicles that year. One guy bought a 1999 Toyota Tacoma Pre-Runner extra-cab, my department co-worker bought a Civic Si(in blue) and I bought a 2000 Nissan Frontier SE Crewcab 4 door. All three were new models introduced that year. I drove my co-worker's Si, was just a normal Civic until you hit 5000 rpms and "whoa" it was a delight to drive! Shame it didn't have ABS...
I can promise you that much as modders still like to go ham on this car, a clean untouched example would now go for well over its original MSRP
Not "would go". More like "does go". I cant recall if it was BAT, Mecum, or Cars and Bids, but a few of these have gone for 25K or so and I saw an Integra Type R with something like 60k miles go for 60K
I've always loved and wanted one of these just in that color. They were such a good car.
In Canada we had one level above the Si, it was the SiR, which had an extra 5 hp (total of 165 hp). My first new car was a 2000 Black SiR, loved that car until someone plowed into it when it was parked on the street in its second year. Replaced it with a 2001 Integra Type R, and I can say I miss my Civic more than the Integra.
Extra 5 hp? Lol where do you get this bs from?
Its the same car
Had one of these new in 99. Great car wish I would have held onto it.
Amo éste modelo del civic Si power by HONDA.🔥 saludos desde REPÚBLICA DOMINICANA.💪
I had a 2000 model in black. It was so fun to drive.
The reliability of these cars is amazing. I own a 1999 Acura w/MT as my "backup car" and it never lets me down. Keep up on basic maintenance and timing belts and it just keeps on going.
Had a 2000 same color.loved it.better daily then all other crx and integra models
I love this car. Now that Im at a good point in my CRX project, Im gonna start looking for one.
I traded my 99 Cobra in for one of these. Loved that car. Aem cold air, cam gears, kamikaze 4into1 header, test pipe, Greedy Evo, 4 puck copper clutch, Phantom Grip lsd.....perfection.
I daily drove an electron blue pearl Civic Si just like this, only mine was a 2000 model (only difference being the '00's had baby seat attachment points on the shelf behind the rear seats). Bought mine in '08 at about 100k miles and sold it a decade later with another 100k on the clock for more than I paid for it. Was truly an excellent vehicle.
Mine had the stock wing but I later swapped trunks with a friend to go wingless. I put OEM fog lights, coilovers, header, Apexi N1 catback exhaust, Spec clutch, lightweight flywheel, cold air intake, high flow catalytic converter, and some other small but tasteful mods on it. Sounded great, not loud. Pulled hard and was very zippy. I street raced with it for years, and out of the 4 other EM1's, a DA integra, and a Del Sol that I raced (all of which equipped with B16's), I beat every one of them so I'm inclined to say mine was pretty healthy. The only B16 I lost to was a friend who had a blue EM1 like mine but had a B16B swap from the Type R model, but of course that was beyond simple bolt-on mods.
Car was super fun to drive even though I'm more of a RWD/drift/turbo dude (also have an SR20 swapped 240sx). Loved the short ratio gearing and the 5500 RPM crossover sound when it switched to the bigger cam lobes. Before I bought it, I test drove a buddy's '98 DX coupe for about a week, but the single cam engine was nowhere near as punchy and its gearing wasn't helping the fun factor.
My Civic was so faithful through multiple jobs and 2 college degrees that were over 4 hours away (made that drive so many times). Air conditioning always worked. Had 2 stereos stolen out of it, but neither were more than $100, and I was just thankful that the car didn't get stolen. The one problem the car ever gave me -- Several years into ownership, one warm spring day, the car wouldn't start. Starter would spin the engine over, but it would never fire. Turned out to be the ignition coil in the distributor. Was $10 and 5 minutes of my time to replace the coil.
Only reason I sold it was because I got into motocross towards the end of my 2nd degree and needed a pickup truck to haul my dirtbike, but had lots of student loans to pay back. If I had known how quickly I was gonna get out of debt, I would've kept the car. Wouldn't be surprised if I buy another one some day.
I was one of the first people in the Seattle metro area to test drive this car. Kirkland Honda received one in the Malano Red, I was on a list for an appointed test. At that time I owned a Del Sol in that same red color, funny thing is I was hit 5 times in this Del Sol, so red was definitely off the plate and the fact that Kirkland Honda want ed $25K , I was like “it’s still a Civic …,!, anyways I waited till July to get the EBP, that Renton Honda had just received, best car buying experience hands down! I loved that car, I had it repo’d twice, got it back, Moved to Sacramento, got stolen the first week at my dad’s place in South Sac, got it back thanks to Sac Sheriffs, then in 2007 (April 13th to be exact) it being paid off, it was stolen again, when CHP, called me 3 days later this was what they said “No burn, surgically stripped, no plates….the only thing left was the shell, they took everything.
@@christensafreeman1744 Man that sucks. I was always worried mine would get stolen. Fortunately car theft isn’t bad here in north Alabama, but it’s still concerning. The truck I replaced my EBP EM1 with is a ‘94 Toyota pickup Xtracab DLX 4x4 22RE manual, which is the ideal setup and also in high demand. Unfortunately they’re often stolen as well, so the concern is still there. This is what I have to deal with for preferring good 90s cars that have a lot of appeal.
I had a 1998 Civic LX, not an SI, and it was super frugal and reliable. It did have the most uncomfortable seats of any car I've ever owned though, thankfully I was only 23 then and could handle it on long trips :)
In high school, my wife had a red 1996 Civic DX hatchback, but it had these wheels on it. Her stepdad bought them from a sketchy guy he met up with in the parking lot by Arrowhead Stadium. She had a nasty wreck in high school that deployed both airbags, but the insurance decided to repair it, and she kept driving it for several more years before giving it to her mom. We made a few trips from Southwest Florida to Kansas City and back in that thing. I have fond memories. Just one question: No ABS in 1999???
That's right. ABS was reserved for the Integra, IIRC.
ABS oddly wasn’t available on the Si in 99, but it was standard on EX sedans, optional on EX coupes and LX sedans. It should’ve been standard on the Si. I test drove a 2002 Civic EX coupe back in 02, with the ABS option, as the window sticker had the trim as EX with ABS and side airbags. It needed that ABS too. I was disappointed in the soggy brake feel of that generation of Civic.
This was also my first car and might be the best car I have ever owned. It was so much better than the numbers. It carried 4 adults with no issues. I miss this car.
As my roommate owns a 1999 Honda Civic Si, this is a car that has withstood the test of time! STILL handles great, and while it is no Integra, its decently quick and easy to drive despite the lack of torque.
Miss my 2000 civic coupe. One of the best and most fun cars I’ve ever owned
I drive a 89 crx with a b16 swap. Truly a gem of an engine. I won't try and tell you it's fast, but believe me when I say "it's a blast to drive."
Another great car from Honda's golden days of the 1990s. Would have been nice if this had been offered in a hatchback, but still a nice car. I drove plenty of these Civics of this generation, though not an Si. Great all around cars.
I was surprised when my buddy told me his 2020 Si did not have VTEC.
I wanted this car so badly!
I’m so glad the EM1 wasn’t an ugly 4 door. I miss the golden age of 2 doors.
I have never seen them give this much praise.
men in my opinion this is the best selling SI ever seriously. electron blue damn the fave color
Such a cool car back in the day. Strange no ABS though. I remember locking up the fronts of my ex’s Si and flat-spotting the heck out of them!
The Canadian version did have ABS plus a few other differences geared more towards our climate up here. I loved my black '99 SIR.
I wrecked my 99 Si more than once due to the brakes locking up back in the day.
I wanted one so bad in HS. Couldn't believe such a small engine had so much HP. The early Vtecs had no torque tho at all, had to wind out those engines
Man, this was my dream car in the 90s!
It’s a shame that these are so hard to find anymore.
Such a beautiful car just stock i love these with the stock wing
This car and the Integra GsR was the two main cars for car thieves back in those days. It's still is till this day. If you had one of these and didn't have a garage or an alarm on it, your car wouldn't last a week. By the time you get your car back, everything is gone. Gutted with a empty shell. I know from experience. My car got stolen and it wasn't even a GsR. It was stock GS.
My 00 si was stolen and gutted. I was gutted as well.
Growing up I always saw Honda slander. It never steered me away and I managed to get a 94 civic si hatch. I could not be happier.
@1:09 The packaging is far superior than the new TLX. The battery is behind the front axle and struts for one.
I don't need power upgrade. Give me awesome packaging for balancing all day.
so glad i picked up my 97 civic when i did before they went up in price. i used to hate on civics like most ppl that prefer rwd til i owned one, swapped in a 145 hp b18 motor and added some grippier tires. what a fkin fun car to drive, keeps up with most stock sports cars today and much more simple to work on. dont think ill be getting rid of it anytime soon. oh yea and a full tank is about 45$ gets 3-400miles
Friend had a 99 same color and got the supercharger on it. Boy fun times with no limited slip lol
The 2023 Pilot SUV 0-60 6.4s... times really changed...
Now to post the EP3!
I wish I was able to live and see through the era and nostalgia of when they originally released but I was born in 2000. But I had the opportunity to buy it as my first car with only an intake on it 3 years ago n I love it every moment of it it’s flamenco black pearl im the 3rd and it had only 165,000 miles
My favorite Civic of all time. 1.6L B16A2 I believe that was the engine. It's a classy looking car that to me has never looked dated to me. Now would I swap a K20/24, better suspension, and other goodies? Yes! Yet at the same time, the looks are perfect.
Arguably the best Civic ever sold in the North American market.
