No, its not extraordinary... and at that price, you wont find anything. But they are fun to drive and can be had for under $5K for a car in good condition... And you cant blame a car's result into a guardrail on anything other than that nut loose behind the wheel.

The E30/E36's are easy to work on and cheap to maintain. If you like big cars, then the E34 525/535 are good cars, but will require a bit more attention.ViPER1313 Wrote:If you want a Civic, just get the SI, cause I can see no point trying to create a sports car out of a mid 90s hatch.
A hatch will be faster than the Si, cheaper to build (or buy) and cheaper to own. No one was claiming it will walk all over a ferrari. Yes its still a civic and not a sports car, but the 92-95/94-01 civic/integra platform is a pretty damn good one.

I've seen them go for around $8500 in good shape. They are very very reliable and will run for damn near forever. If you wanted one, look for a '99 or newer. Autotrader, and <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.nasioc.com">www.nasioc.com</a><!-- w --> .
