My new Daily Driver 40 MPG! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Got tired of getting 10mpg in my Dodge Ram so i picked up a 1992 Honda Civic Sedan. Paid a whole $600 for her lol. Has 150k miles, new tires, cd player, and no mechanical problems. Paint is faded and has scratches/ dents but no major rust. pretty good shape for being almost 20 years old.

Sorry. I just dont lilke old Hondas. Or Hondas in general.

The only Honda I have respect for is the Honda Pilot.

See...$600 for a hypermiler...beat the pee out of it and enjoy the Camaro on the weekend. Well played, sir. Well played.

$10 bucks says you fix the rust and dents and start improving the little car pretty soon.
My brother had an Si that was a couple of years older than yours...was a quick little toy.

We have a 98 civic with 242,000 still runs like a top. Faded paint, check. Dents and scratches, you bet. Rust, a touch here and there but in 242,000 miles she never stranded us. Were shooting for 300,000...

Put a big muffler and some chrome rims on, lol

This beast is my hypermiler and its American. Brand new out the door and with 5,550 miles on it already. I'm averaging 41.2 MPG right now.

Definitely staying as stock as possible lol, I was spending $100 bucks a week on gas this winter and thats not counting the Camaro. Never really realized how much gas you spend running errands or just driving locally.

uefa2k1 · 03-14-2011, 11:53 AM

Just curious how much do the Fiestas sell for? I think thats what it is, sorry if I made a mistake.

The only American thing about that car is the brand.

Second best selling car in Europe. Could be worse I could've gone with an Aveo.

Mine is an SE sedan, it cost $16,500. I have the convenience package and SYNC on mine. They start at about 12k with the manual and no basic comfort options. The automatic costs about 1k more and so does the hatch.
