its rare for the yanks cuz their hatches suck, but tons of our euro market civics come with sunroofs and full electrics. Oh, and have fun replacing the stereo, don't be expecting it to be an easy pug-style 5 minute job, u gotta take most of your dash trim off and un-bolt it from the chasis! (sort of)

 

[NYGraFFit1]

yea USDM hatchs didint come with sunroofs ftl. u UK bastards are lucky. i just want a fuking Civic Aero Deck. btw welcome to the site.

[ScratchNSniff]

I loved that yellow hatch sooo much more...

 

[Deni]

so did I mate lol

But Im only 19 and its group14 insurance.
Which means its alot to insure.

 

[guitar_adam2000]

i feel your pain mate, i'm 22 and my civic's group 15, and every year it literally costs me a million pounds to insure. my last car was a 306 - group 6 - miss those days

how much does that transfer into dollars?.... a million pounds

 

[ScratchNSniff]

A million pounds...I just used a conversion on google and it said that was almost $2 Million, something is not right, either I did something wrong, or dude is exagerating...
