A kid i work with recently bought a black 02 civis si with 45,xxx miles on it. He bought it from a middle aged man so should be in good shape. anyway while i really want a 8th gen si I am really considering buying this vehicle because of a great price. i would like to recieve some input on this car from some owners or past owners. i am really interested in reliability becuase it will be a daily driver. i know its gotta be better than my 98 jetta (slow and many problems) any input would be greatly appreciated.

if you do buy the ep3 your going to fell in love with it, first the shifter it has a rally style shifter which is unique and you don't see any ep3 alot. and for dd it's a honda so it's going to last long considering you take care of all the maintenance

Yea gonna get it. liked it alot, cant think of anything that i didnt like maybe the ride was a lil rough but maybe i'm not used to coil overs but he's taking them off anyway and the alignment was bad becuase of them. anyway the car sounded great with intake and headers very nice tone inside the car. also i like the interior, seems well built. srry for rambling but pretty excited to get this been driving a 2.0 jetta gl for 6 years so bear with me. 0 and the price is that because A) i know him and B) he is getting a srt4 for 8,500
