I've had more compliments and looks on past cars then this one so far, but to my suprise, people do look at and compliment the civic though. Funny thing is that my past cars are usually really common so nothing special in that respect anyways. I've had a few different mustangs for years, obvious there. I had an 04 6spd Maxima with every option you can get on em (right down to the nav, elite package with the full length console making it a 4 seater, etc), which people always had to check out the design and all the toys it had etc. Too bad it didnt have the same quality as a typical toyota or honda has though. I liked that maxima, but shortly after I got it, I knew it wasnt gunna be around long since I got it cheap. It just had too many minor quirks, fit and finish not quite up to par IMO for a japanese car, and started developing creaks and rattles like you would expect in a typical american car. I never expected the civic to turn any heads or warrant any compliments since a civic is really nothing special as far as all that mess goes. I'm pretty sure that will go away once the newness of em wears off and everyone and their dog has one.
