Still, waaay too overpriced. This is going into BMW thinking, that you are buying it for the badge, and no current Civic can perform like the Si's and Type R's from the 1990's, those were just phenomenal. The current KA engines just do not have the soul of the B16A, and the suspension on the current Civic is just...ordinary, not amazing and revolutionary like the Civics of old.
It is kind of like comparing a Mark I Golf GTI vs. a current GTI, see what I mean? |

could you explain why is this car still a Ricer? Its completely stock from the dealer... there are engine mods and suspension mods to make it go faster around the track...

Poor car...
It's a limited edition car out of 300 so it has some value...Plus it is supposed to go around faster on a track...$30,000 for a special Civic dunno but it is rare.. |

You guys keep dwelling on the price... those pictures are in Canada. If an averagely-optioned GTI is $35 grand here, then a limited edition Civic Si with all those added things makes sense at $30 grand.
Still, I wouldn't buy it.

^me too... but I understand why the parts were stolen. The Rims alone are worth about 2k I believe without tyres, the exhaust system was a about 1k, and the rest of the stuff like the seats, bodyparts... etc would have easily cost another 5k.
devil... I think there's going to be 1000 Mugen Civics, but they are still quite rare.

yeah if you put TVs all over the interior
, I remember pricing up options on a GTi, they may not realistically sell for the sticker, but theres no real reason you need to make it a 30k carBy your own reasoning, because it makes them happy Quote:
(2)STI? EVO?? More like a 90s NSX or Dodge Viper, 30k is a good sum of money! |

Also I personally think a mugen civic is going to hold its value even better than a golf (which already has excellent resale)

If I was in the market for a fast daily/hatch etc.......a Civic of any kind would not be on the list. Although I would still drive it and it might blow my mind.

I somehow have a feeling that all the negative stuff is just because its a Civic (Which for some reason, any car with a Civic badge is classified Rice), if this was done to a Mazdaspeed 2.3l 3 (not the MPS) or something like an Astra, you'll probably go ZOMG! WHY? It's such a great car

I was thinking about a MPS, but now I'm hearing bad things about those too. [glares at Otto] I wouldn't mind a Civic Si. They seem pretty decent and will probably hold their value, if their predecessors are any indication. But failwheeldrive is boring. I'd rather buy a second hand RX8 or a new Solstice.
