For the past few months I've been driving around a 1990 Honda Civic wagon 1.5L 5-speed (which I got for free). It's a good little car especially with the current gas prices, but nothing can describe how much I despise driving that thing around town. My past cars have been an '81 Vette, '96 T/A, and a '01 Z71, so this is quite a departure from the norm for me.

I recently found a 1991 Firebird v6 5 speed with t-tops for a good price and while I never was too fond of V6 f-bodies, at least this will get me out of that damned honda. I'm not gonna mod it or anything (since I have the '70 I'm restoring) but just use it as a daily driver. And I have a firebird tattooed on my forearm so I'm pretty much stuck with one kind of car I can drive for life.

Anyone have any advice or opinions on the matter? Should I sell the crapbox and get the Firebird?

 

get the firebird, at least youll be awy from hondas ... noone wants that lol, and maybe it wont be the best car but at least youll ahve some ttops for the summer GET IT!! LOL

 

Well unless you plan on getting a civic tatoo I think you know the choice you have to make.

 

Firebird...

 

Gas prices are going to keep increasing and the 1.5 liter will get better mpg, but I wouldn't be caught dead in a Honda. Get the Firebird V6 and please do NOT mod it.

 

The Firebird V6 with t-tops will make for a nice daily driver. Plus with the 5-spd, you could save on gas if you drive it right.

 

who was that that voted on the civic lol

 

Yeah i was wondering that myself.


SA peeps: wheres the tuesday night meet gonna be tomorrow? I'd like yall to see how bad that civic really sucks.

Civic. There is no big selling point of a V6 Fbody IMO. All the rattles of the Fbody, the blind spots, the no comfort factor, and you don't have the power .

True, still a cooler car to drive than a 90 Honda wagon though, Ryan the V6 guys are going to flame you so hard lol

 

ya IMO the 91 firebirds are ugly, but id still rather like to drive that then a 90 civic u know?

 

Keep the wagon:

- cheaper on gas
- its a wagon - GREAT parts hauler.
- V6 in the 3rd gen is still zippy enough to cause the right foot to drop at times.
- civic is probably WAY cheaper on insurance.

 

Insurance? whats that?


shhhhhhhhhh...

 

i have a 3rd gen firebird with a v6 =( but thats ok its being torn down for a bigger better V6 with a hairdryer
