😥 Picture makes me sad.Meh, wish they still made my mom's early '90s Civic in the original Cappuccino color. Simple, clean, attractive.

Do the two of you yearn for the days before four-wheel disc brakes and ABS?😥 Picture makes me sad.
I'd buy a 91 Civic LX again. The seats weren't great, but it wouldn't fail you.
I prefer the 5th gen 2 door hatchback and the 6th gen Si... of course I'm partial to the 8th gen Si since I owned one and felt like a racecar driver shifting at 8,900 RPM.Meh, wish they still made my mom's early '90s Civic in the original Cappuccino color. Simple, clean, attractive.

Funny you bring that up. My 2004 Civic that I gave away, was equipped with drum brakes in the rear. I do dislike drum brakes, lol. I believe that the redesigned 05 still had drum brakes on the rear, while the Acura version had disc brakes all around. You could actually convert your Civic to disc brakes on the rear by changing out the parts from an Acura CSX.Do the two of you yearn for the days before four-wheel disc brakes and ABS?
I tend to agree with this... I haven't heard any reliability issues with Honda's CVT and the 1.5T issues, while disappointing, seem to be sorted as well. Personally if I was getting one I'd be looking at the Sport with the K20 and (if I can dream) a manual transmission.I have no reason to believe this car wouldn't make it past 150k miles. I don't know if it has a CVT, but I know Honda has done a pretty good job with them and there haven't been too many failures. I also think they've worked out the initial problems on the 1.5T engines as well.

Turbo pressure causing engine oil to become diluted with fuel. Requires more frequent oil changes. I have little faith in CVT transmissions. Add in all of the digital equipment, ya, I don't have confidence in this vehicle long term.I tend to agree with this...

Honda sorted that out so no longer a great concern. DI is hard on oil as well and most forums I am on have found more frequent oil changes to be beneficial.Turbo pressure causing engine oil to become diluted with fuel.

I drove a friends 2017 CR-V and the CVT was very nice. I drove a 2017 Altima and it was so unenjoyable to drive. The general consensus is Honda (and Toyota) do CVTs very well.Honda sorted that out so no longer a great concern.

CVT - I think years and years of Nissan and Subaru having horrendous CVTs have really soured people. I've been in a number of the Hondas with it and it is much better than the Subarus and Nissans I've been in. Additionally, the 1.5T paired with the CVT is a pretty good combination, the low torque keeps it from revving as high and moaning along.
Time will tell on the digital equipment. All manufacturers are doing this so we don't have much of a choice.

It's the styling, man, the styling.Do the two of you yearn for the days before four-wheel disc brakes and ABS?
Made for some excitement when braking after driving through deeper puddles.BTW, my '64 Plymouth Valiant had drum brakes all around.
