90s/early 2000s Civics were great. Comfortable ride and well maintainable. WTF is mom on about here, an ‘04 Civic is a great car.
Never been in one but they definitely seem nice. driving any 90s/2000s sedan would definitely make me like a date better, especially given how many people I know drive horrible modern SUVs
Definitely. I miss driving sedans and small hatchbacks, up until a few years ago they’re all I’d ever driven.
I currently have a Kia Sportage only because I moved to a rural area and needed something that could deal with country roads and off-road. Otherwise I’d still be driving my old ‘07 Accent, that thing gave me zero problems in well over 100k miles.
I sometimes miss my '01. Don’t miss the leaking taillight seals causing humidity problems.
My '10 Versa’s having the same humidity problems from so many rear end collisions. The cabin smells so moldy and nothing seems to work. It’s a shame really because that thing can drive for another 100k miles easily.
Get some of these and it should take care of the moisture issues. One should last at least 3-4 months. Replace as needed. Then just find some kind of fabric cleaner and air freshener and you should be good to go.
Oh it’s worse than that. The rainy season just ended and for a long while I could hear water sloshing around in the undercarriage by braking too hard. It’s not something than can be easily fixed with some dessicant at this point. I sprayed the shit out of the cabin with room deodorant and left the windows open for a while. It helps a little but it’s like coating shit with sugar.
Find where it pools and drill a hole. Make sure there is nothing on the other side of where you’re drilling of course.
I dunno. My mom was in a wreck with one and bit off her bottom lip when she hit the steering wheel because the air bags didn’t go off. We later found out that was a surprisingly common problem for that model year.
Damn, can they reattach stuff when something like that happens?
They did reattach it, but the nerves were never the same so it felt numb and cold to her from then on, leading to her chewing on it because she couldn’t feel it normally anymore.
it’s the shitbox that won’t break under you, and won’t get you broke either.
Are ‘muricans really this obsessed with cars that the model or car you drive affects your dating prospects?
Yes and it cuts both ways. Prior to transition when I was driving an Infiniti I got female attention but driving beat up Hyundais and Fords the only attention I got was from the police, like driving around with a sign that says, “pull me over”.
Post transition my life circumstances are much better but the cars affect my dating prospects totally differently. Driving a brand new performance model EV in 2022 I had at least two dates where the guy would lose all interest in me once they saw I was driving a car that costed several times their annual income.
You could literally see all interest melt off their face, “my car is the white sedan, can you drop me off there?”
Immediate flip from being warm and engaged to this cold, “gtfo out of my Nissan” vibe
You can’t have a shitty car as a man and you can’t have a nicer car as a trans woman

Sounds like you dodged at least 2 bullets.
Wait “performance model EV” wasn’t a Tesla, was it? They may have been in fear for their lives.
Decades of propaganda by the auto industry, especially through cinema and TV, has programmed people to think that if you don’t have a nice car you won’t get laid.
Are you really so arrogant as to believe that perception of socio-economic class is exclusively an American consideration when it comes to dating?
No, but the fact that a car is seen as an indication of socio-economic class is.
Plenty of people who drive really nice cars who are broke as fuck and plenty of people who could easily afford a luxury car who drive a 20 year old piece of junk.
It’s less about the car specifically as it is about what the car says about your level of wealth and spending habits
Yes, but mostly if you’re trying to attract men.
It’s a class war thing more than anything. Cops will pick on you more if you drive certain models of cars or a car that’s a total clunker with a busted window that’s taped up. Most people here don’t really care what you drive in the dating world unless you come from a wealthier background and are a snooty dick about it.
Only for shallow morons
That’s a classic car by today’s standards
a lot of street cred too, depending on which 99 nissan you are driving.
What’s wrong with a Civic?
