Appreciate the input...

I'm keeping the Yaris i'm just getting bored with it.Does anyone else feel the same way?The honda civic is for cheap thrills and not too much bills.You can't go wrong with the HONDA.Great cars.The EK seems to be the winner here.So I'll go with it.

True enough.

I had my '98 coupe stolen several years ago: One reason Civics are expensive to ensure.

FYI, if you do get a Civic and end up modding it, be sure you take measures to prevent theft (alarm, The Club, Autolock, fuel cutoff, etc.).

Or get a steering wheel quick release, can't steal a car when you have no steering wheel!

That's not a bad idea, either. I didn't want to lose my airbag, though.

Bored with it? No. Actually, I'm just starting to have fun with it and thinking small performance mods might make it even more fun.

I come from Honda. I owned 2 civic's (first one was a First Gen. Civic - got it used, drove it to the ground, then I got the '87 CRX HF which I enjoyed for a lot of years, still miss it to this day). I also drove the ex's Honda Accord HB (he had 2, one after the other). Great cars, these Hondas. They're easy, fun to drive, even the manual transmissions which is what we both had.
