I just find it hypcritical to talk shit on a beretta when you drive a civic. You act as if a civic is somehow any better then a beretta. read the post above yours, jack ass…or can’t you read? Mybe you have somekind of personal vendetta against civic owners…or maybe cause most of them happen to be faster than your grandam?? Becareful how you chose your words cause I am pretty sure a grand am isn’t any better. and yeah I happen to own a civic and an integra but that doesn’t mean I have something against any other cars( along with ME never stating that)…if I don’t like a car inparticular though I am more than intitled to say so in a thread where that is the main topic. kthanksbye ---

I just find it hypcritical to talk shit on a beretta when you drive a civic. You act as if a civic is somehow any better then a beretta. Nothing hypocritical about her statement. As basically everyone in this thread posted that car is amazingly overpriced, and for most would be overpriced if they were basically giving it away. If it were say a bone stock 96 civic hatch with that same mileage, it would be worth (meaning many people would actually be willing to pay) what they are asking for it and yet the beretta and civic were simialar prices new. Simply put, civics (like damn near all hondas, toyotas, nissans) hold their value a hell of a lot better than pretty much anything made by GM or Ford because they typically are built better and hold up better. ---

(before you jump down my throat, i don’t give a shit what anyone drives. my point is that a Beretta cost MORE than a Civic in 1995, and that same car retails used for LESS than a Civic now that it’s 12 years old. unless it’s orange and riced the fuck out. then it’s worth $7000.) ---

car is ugly in colors and over priced and the interior is blue as for color matched wheels that was a factory ordeal on some berettas so that owner just went along with it again. as for painted wheels that can go so many ways like with black rims, the fact is youre not buying it so who cares. i wouldnt pay no more then 1500 dollars for your civic rather alone any civic of that nature as for the civic being faster then other makes…arent they stock around 18 seconds? and some heavy modded ones only turn times in the 15s ---

In regards to a heavily modded civic going 15seconds…I don’t nkow of one…look at Joe’s, Vince’s…ect…all these cars ARE heavily modded running under 12’s and below…a 15 second car…thats a motor swap thats all. This thread was never started to compare a HONDA to a Berretta…it was all about the berretta and like YOU stated yourself…its ugly and not worth 7k ---
