The ONLY thing wrong with this car is that if it’s parked in front of my house, it WILL get stolen

Civics are one of the best cars ever made people just rice them out too much.

The perfect daily driver.

civics are soo easy to modify, I think that is the main thing, so easy to work on without needing to be a mechanic's. I loved my d16 when I started driving, and then I completely fell in love with my b16a2 conversion and again with the ep3.. Honda in general are the best

and the great thing is , no matter what you do to that Honda, it will start up EVERY time. they are just so reliable and amazing those 90s Honda’s!

Had a 2000 EK sedan for over 10 years. Great car, I get really nostalgic watching this.

Although it is old, I still think the 1999 civic lx I drive looks amazingly good for a 90s car. I love how much visibility it has as well, it is simply what I believe to be the perfect first car.

I love my 94 Integra GSR. Kept it stock for 25 years. Never seen snow or road salt as it has been stored indoors in the winter. 88,295 km on the odometer.

Gotta love the 90’s civics . My fiance bought recently a 96 civic ex coupe with only 93,000 mi. All stock ! And that was two weeks back . She is happy as she can be . Striked gold 👌

I saw one burning on the side of freeway.. but the great thing was that random car guys pulled over and payed respect. It wasn't only honda guys to. It was people in muscle cars, a gtr, and 2 audi's. I would have joined but I had to get to work. It was a sight to see.

Got some of my muscle head friends into hondas when they drove in my old school 89 sadan civic. A common thing they would always say when discussing about honda is how ergo the car is, and how there is almost 0 blind spots in the car compared to mustangs and camros. some even bought their first civics and secretly loved them even tho they "hated" hondas hahah.

I know, this is a fairly old video, but I wanna contribute with my experiences. I'm an Apprentice in germany and testdrove the civic of my brother. I don't know why, but I fell in love with it. For me, it's the simplicity of the car. I have the E-Package with E-Mirrors and Windows, heated mirrors and ac, but with the D14Z2, so it's 90 HP. I do like cars with 200 HP+, BUT 90 HP are fine. I paid around 3 grand for my EJ9 with less than 50k miles on it and despite the fact, I sometimes miss the comfort of heated seats and heated windshields, it's such a pure driving experience, sitting low, quite a loud engine, ABS only and so on. What I also like is the engine. It's 90 HP, yes. But on the Autobahn, you can step on it and listen to the quite sporty induction sound of that lovely 4-banger and you're still under the speed limit (if there is one). Basically every road outside bigger cities can be a racetrack and as I drive more that 400 miles per week and therefore drive quite conservative, the "punch" of that N/A engine at higher rpm's don't feel like a letdown, if you don't happen to be in a situation, where you're standing still and other cars pass you with 50mph+ and you want to get going again. It's enough to be fun. I achieve around 39 mpg in the summer regularly. I haven't modded it much and I don't think I will do so, just exchanged the front lights for better ones and the tail lights are getting changed soon for led's. It's not meant to be ricey, but safer. For me, the civic is what it is. Plain and simple, a ticket into the JDM scene and in it's condition, it is fullfilling to live with it. To be honest, if I was given the choice between a Golf 7 GTI and this, I would take the civic again, becauss it's pure, not even close to perfect and reliable. Disclaimer: My uncle drove a GTI for long, now has an R, so I know what I choose.

It’s not just because of doing swaps on the car that made it popular. It was part of a lifestyle in the 90s way before fast and furious. If your one of the few like me that had that lifestyle you know. Swaps are whatever you can literally do any engine in any car period! The good old days in the west coast!

These cars are so fun even the slower versions. Use the proper weight oil, throw a k&n air filter, stiffen up the suspension and man fun as hell daily even in stock form 😎 spacious, comfy, great on gas, easy to work on, simple mods make them look really good. Get a good head unit and speakers and u got a super good reliable economical yet cool daily especially with cold ac 😁

That is a super clean and totally stock hatch. I'm kind of jelly... I kind of wish you wanted to sell it... And your wrong... 1992-2000 civic hatchbacks are supercars, they just don't know it yet.

Your passion comes through in the video. Thank you

I love my 99 5 speed coup, it has a tac, power windows, and even a sunroof! No touch screen bs, great visibility. Not fast, but the 5 speed still makes it fun to drive. Easy to diagnose and fix.

great vids keep them coming

Finally more post about the civic 😁keep up the great work

The Honda CRX was my first true mod car. I didn't do much to it rather than just make it look cool. I ended with a black Honda CRX si and sold it. My 3 year old mentions the car every now and then. Cool vid.

7:40 A few digits faster and that baby was about to roll right into that hill, good catch GT

Hi GT Content, I ve been watching many of your uploads and should thank you for the effect. Even for me, they way you present the video itself is more interesting than other major upload competitor. I really like to watch a GT Content video for "Mitsubishi Galant/Legnum VR4" which is now hit 20 years and I believe it's a forgotten car by many while looking at it figures.. Specially producing 280HP in late 90s. Hope a VR4 video in GT Content - Cheers.!

I own the 1997 Honda Civic hatchback. I use it on my newspaper route. Best car I have ever owned.

My sohc was such a hater magnet, so I swap it for a b series and the torque blew GM away to China while Ford is struggling to survive and it still gets 30 mpg.

Just bought myself a 99 civic hatch DX and I also just bought a 99 civic coupe EX and a 99 civic 4 door EX I love them all

It’s nearly impossible to find a manual 6th gen civic these days. In Texas a lot of 96-00 civics cost between 2500-3000.

Great review 👍🏼

Awesome video mate thank you

Great points. Overall a super solid, simple platform with huge potential wrapped in an economy package. I also feel like the Japanese automakers focus on doing well in the American market by having reliable and affordable cars really shows in the solid engineering that stands the test of time.

Got a Iced Teal 2000 LX with 208k miles. It is my daily and is such a great little car. I love how basic, simple, and honest it is. Hope to put many more miles on it. Thanks for the vid!

I agree too, I love my 1993 honda civic coupe ej2 with the mean eye. It looks iconic from the front to the back

Good video, Excellent commentating.

Haha, didn't know you lived in the same city until I saw that king's river drive. Nice to know I'm subbed to a local lol. Keep em videos coming.

Dude I had a 95 civic DX hatch (economy version) D15 5 speed and in my eye the most beautiful hatch ever made!! I only did a straight pipe air filter on the stock intake switched the exhaust manifold to a 97 to get rid of the cat, full custom 2" exhaust, cherry bomb straight pipe(burned out) with some brass brillo pad pack (for the resonator pipe) into a cherry bomb "turbo" (for the muffler) and was able to get her up to 115 on the freeway easily!!! Loved that car!! Could've done so much more but having a family got in the way 😭😭😭😭

As usual gary. Awesome work. Love the review man

My brother had a 99 civic ex for almost 6 years and it never had any major problems,he just had to do the usual maintenance with new tires, brakes and oil changes etc, he was never stranded on the road or needed to pay for some huge repair

Great review bro! I had a couple of ek's in the past and loved them. It would be cool if you went with h22 swap

Well said , love Hondas all day!!! Good video...

Post More often bro love ya vids

Very nice video, I would spend some time building whatever engine you swap in, I would go B series because it fits nicely, and you can build it for your application, its simple, you can get VTEC etc.

Wow amazing review. 🤗🤗 I wish i have an ek hatch

The steering feel on that old Civic is better then anything currently in production (Assuming summer wheels and upgraded suspension). When I had my (5MT DX bought brand new...Canadian DX came with a tachometer), I'd purposely make sure the car is moving before I cranked the steering, cause I didn't want to wear out the steering rack. After driving it for 300,000km, steering still felt like new. With Prokit spring and Tokico shocks, was easily the best handling car i've ever owned (for the streets).

Wow, you have scales. That's high-end 😎

I have the exact same ek in amethyst purple. Have a 99 ex sedan manual in iced teal. Wish I had a manual white hatchback too. Years gone by and can’t find one. I’ve owned every vehicle and it’s my favorite. No joke.

You're lucky to find one like that so clean.... I have been looking for one for 3 year now... All of them had mod or rust

I just got a '98 DX hatchback back in December, I'm looking to do a single cam turbo build with it.

No need to use 91 octane. The owners manual only calls for 86 octane. Using a higher octane won't improve engine performance. Octane only prevents pinging in engines with higher compression. Your Honda will run best with regular 87 octane gas.

My 1999 Civic Coupe Milano Red DX is getting a B18c1 swap, I already installed a new tachometer from an EX for an RPM gauge as its a 5 speed manual! I can't wait to finish this little project as I love N/A high revving motors that are lightweight! (My miata is also fun, and whenever I finally finish my S2000 that will be even better!)

I've managed 27 mpg on the highway with the 98 lx sedan, usually doing about 80 mph. Currently its the most fuel efficient & reliable car i have around.

The reason that you are getting a bit of body roll is also because the DX and CX had no sway bars.

The Civic hatchback VX is like 40s-50s mpg, the HX is also great. The hatchback shell with swap engine is the best power/weight ratio and money in the pocket, don't forget the roll cage. That automatic DX is like 30's mpg in the city, sadly the used price is almost similar to the early 2000's Corollas with better options, same dependability, and same mileage.

I loved working on my own honda back in the days. Not been able to do the same even with the latest models. Just last month I wasn't able to replace a simple turn signal light!!!

super clean car sir, I would suggest a D15B and n/a it with bolt on parts. Manual swap with LSD and rev the hell out of it.

I do the maintenance on my son Acura EL 2000 (it is a civic dress up with a sunday suit on) only produce in Honda Alliston plant in Ontario Canada for the canadian market therefor never exported to USA. What a great car ! Came only with D16Y8 . This car has only 160,000Kms ( kms here in Canada not miles). Just the usual / common civic issues...slow electric windows...sticky heater control slider. Usual rear suspension seized bolts-in-bushings.(salty roads here in north part of America).beside that this 19 y.o. car still impress me as a DIYer. If i ever need a part one day no problem my neighbor Kenny-U-Pull salvage yard must have 50 compatible cars to pick parts from. Shame on U ...mazda...nissan..and corollas. Denis here in Montreal Canada

92-95 are the best years since the CX/VX(92-93) is about 2,000lbs light. Upgrading to a B series, thicker swaybars, rear disc brakes, lower control arms, will add weight. For a daily driver, you would want to do these modifications unless you are straight dragging your EG. Damn I want my VX back. B18C w/5-lug, Koni yellows w/ground controls.

I am a Brit and I have two Honda cars. A 1992 Honda Del sol SiR and a 1996 Honda Civic Vti coupe. Both low miles and super quick! Love my Hondas!

I actually just bought an allstock 2000 honda civic SiR with vtec engine. And i love it

I have a 95 DX coupe with the 1.5. It’s so damn slow. But I love it, it keeps me out of speeding trouble, and it sounds good. I lowered it with some coil overs so the handlings is a blast. Besides that and wheels, it’s completely stock.

I really want a 90s Honda Civic hatchback as my 1st car. And I'm fine with all of her flaws, concerning how it drives...cuz I first learned diving with a tractor.

My 96 coupe is bone stock and it will remain that way. Non-vtec, no power steering, 5 speed trans, crank windows. It does have a/c and the heater blows like fire during the winter.

Got a like just because of thumbnail. 👌🏽

Try to drive the EG version. It's (IMO) a lot better looking and handling version. Great video, great channel! Thank you for the content.

Man I LOVE the gen 6 Honda Civic. I’ve got a 96 ex sedan and it’s such a fun car to drive. Sadly if was stolen and messed up a bit... new clutch on the way...

LMAO! I love how just how slow it was at the drag strip. Obviously it was expected to be slow, but that 0-60 in 14 seconds was amazing lol.

I have a 93 cx! Best car I've ever owned!

I NEED THAT FRONT BAR

If you’re in your 30s and been driving manual, but you love civic hatch since child hood, you will really and definitely appreciate a cvt or automatic civic hatch as your daily. Trust me. You will. Especially if it has dual vtec.

Holy crap that thing is clean. I could never find a hatch in that condition without it being riced out or just never driven 😖

Recently copped a 2003 I pray it doesn’t get stolen, anyone who dare steal it will come to regret it.

"FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD AREA" @ 1:42 (WHILE TOUCHING THE AIR INTAKE BOX) LOL

Ya for some reason these cars are just nice to drive and fun. The plus for these cars is that there is pretty much no more depreciation for it. But they do run around2 to 5k $$$ depending on how the car is

My 99 Honda Domani turned 21 today! Next celebration will be when it hits 300,000 km which I'm sure it will no problemo.

I got a 97 4 door with a 3 stage vtec 🔥(Jdm D15b Or D5z7) love it. 130hp with Cvt & sport mode.. Even a d16y4 or y8 will run nicely 😎

My 2003 Honda Civic EX regularly gets 40 mpg; my 2012 Honda Civic Si averages around 32-33 mpg. A lot of a driver's mpg depends on where you drive and how you drive. I guess some Civics aren't as good as others but I wouldn't hesitate to buy any generation of Civic.

When’s that Car History on the Integra gonna happen?? And can we get one on the forgotten Supra competitor, the Subaru Alcyone SVX?

I'm helping my friend fix up his 2000 Civic hatchback. Such as honest nice little car.

I bought a civic ej6 in september this year Its a good car

That car is running great irregardless.

Civics are fun. My 99 keeps up and beats focus rs' evox, new ctr, etc on track :)

I have a white 5 spd 2000 ek hatch dx bone stock motor, trans, interior and suspension. Only things I ever added is a si grill, type r front and rear lip, type r tails and type r rear spoiler. Great car only take it to work and nowhere else.

4:50 what I did is: I bought a si cluster I drive a manual hehe "its a plug n play cluster" so if you want to see your rmp its as simple as getting any cluster from 96-00 its plug and play.

love this civic. looks so small compared to today's cars

Great cars

I just picked up a 96 hatch dx for 1500 bucks just have to change the transmission but thats al for now till i go motor swap... but the real reason i also bought is it to was all stock.... which is rare to find in the bay area california! cant wait to see what u do to ur civic

Clean

my 95 dx came stock with no ac so it can definitely get more basic :)

Everything was amazing in the 90s, it was a great economy and spirit, which ran into the 2000s, and got killed with recession HARD

Find a 2000-2006 Honda Insight, less than 1900lbs with power windows, power lock, power steering and you can find one with a manual transmission.

Make it a fun, stock-ish daily. Do a B20 VTEC swap with ac and power steering. I know you would make it factory fresh and be comfortable for every day driving.

I bought a bone stock dx hatch because I missed my AC. Its really nice. My friends hate it because its the slowest thing on earth. 😁

Wish i could find one like that.

Its not completely un-modified, it has ex trim wheel covers 😉 cx/dx had 8 spoke wheel covers Edit: The armrest and spare tire cover too

Didn't watch, saw the title hit that like.

My 93 sedan Standard Dx 1.5 got 45mpg~ best car I ever had~

Cheap mod: Front swaybar + endlinks (I'd have that transmission looked at... seemed like some long shifts under full throttle...)

I have the same car but it had a transmission swap from a civic ex and civic hx wheels.

I have an1997 civic ek1 immaculate condition Cyprus Green only take it out on rare Occasions it's a stunner ! 😂 absolutely bloody gorgeous !!😅 just got to fill the passenger seat !! Hopefully I can find a woman who appreciate this vehicle more than I do !❤❤❤❤

Mine blew a head gasket and had nothing but problems. Yeah, great car

I think you should keep it stock because is in a mint condition, look for another one in a more beat up condition to swap, paint or modify. Is an awesome daily.

I just got one fully stock with no rust. It's a tough decision to leave it or upgrade it.
