Watch This Before Buying a Honda Civic 1996-2000 6th Gen

The Honda Civic is one of those stereotypical cars. If you own a slightly modified Civic, people assume you are a ricer. But, the 6th Gen Honda Civic EK EJ or EM can actually be pretty sweet and not meet those stereotypes if its modified cleanly.

I couldn't disagree more about annoying other people. When it comes to modding YOUR car, screw other people. Its YOUR car. YOU mod it for YOU. YOU want a giant wing on YOUR car, put one on! Don't mod your car for other peoples taste. Thats why they have their own cars.

Ur opening scene shows a 5th gen hatch driving in the background not a 6th gen 🤦‍♂️

Love how you call a stock body for the ek9, a "body kit"

I really do understand that some find modifications cool. But I have a stock 1997 Honda Civic. I bought the '97 Civic brand new, it's a bad tank where I don't get 40 mpg, and I have about 350k miles (not km, miles) on it. I just had to replace the input shaft bearing (it's stick), and I did the other bearings and clutch while I was at it. But besides that, it is the original powertrain, and the only other expensive repair that was needed was the power steering rack. Made my last car payment the week of 9/11/01, and haven't had to look back. That's what I like

Awesome to see you’re still grinding these videos, hope you’re doing well.

Says the ex model comes with the d16y8 but shows a civic with a b series

[justlooking...]

Are these reliable? I found a 2000 Civic sedan for $1500. It's not in too bad of shape. Dents and dings. It has the top half of the motor rebuilt and new timing belt is what the owner says. 200k miles.

I'm not looking for a hotrod. I got a Mustang GT and Crown Vic.

I want a daily driving gas saver that is reliable. I always hear Civics are reliable.

I'd love to own one as my first daily and project car, but people will steal these therefore a 7nth gen Honda Civic or 6th gen Honda Accord coupe are my main choices. 🙏😞💙

I own 2. Not riced, just clean. I do want to do a swap in my 98 ej coupe

[eRRoR____-]

I def disagree on the modding part. Being annoying to other people only really comes down to how loud the car is.

L take on the bodykit, you do what you want to. I do however agree on your taste of bodykits.

My '96 EX is still going strong. All stock, no mods

[norulescrew]

not trying to hate, but when you say d16y7 its a y8 on the screen. And also when you say 16y8, its a b16a on the screen.

[Macsneese]

This Honda Civic almost looks like my father's Kia Rio LS 😮

[grasko]

Tuned civic for 6.5k? Rebuild k20 motor vtec with 15k miles on it? Worth it ir not?

[andrewpfantz]

I got a silver ‘00 HX (D16y5, the engine designed for maximum efficiency that wasn’t mentioned)coupe 5 speed last year as a cheap manual commuter car, and I’m thinking about maybe doing a B series swap as well as making it look nice again since it’s not exactly the prettiest with some dings and scratches and a little bit of paint fading

Me watching this wanting to buy a 75hp ej9 for 2k

[ront]

I got the Ek3 Vi Sedan with the 3stage vtec D15z7 128hp.. moves pretty good 😎

[ChickenJumpscare]

i really like the ek civic hatchback. but the thing is I can’t find any stock. they’re all modified.

[mythologiasend]

Just bought an Ej9 90hp for 700. Good car
