Default why do civics have such a bad name????

Even fellow honda drivers hit on them. What makes a civic so bad??? I know they are pretty common, but that is because they are great cars in my opinon, and look hot. is it because it doesn't feel as "sporty" as the prelude, or del sol??? because it has leg room for the back seat passengers? because it doesn't have the low "bath tub" seating??? I know it can't be the power, because you can easily make a civic a high 13 low 14 sec car. whats your guy's opinions????????

Because, many people who modify them don't know the difference between a turn signal and a camshaft. They make them selves look ignorant and pretend to be something they're not.

Civics have such bad names because you can get them cheap, mod them up a lil bit, put some cocky 16yr old behind the wheel and you have yourself a ricer. Every import has its share of ricers, its just that you tend to see more civics then anything. (Atleast in Iowa.)

its because of rice....its because these 16 year olds take their '93 civic Dx sedan, throw an aluminum wing on the back, get the loudest muffler they can, and throw on some neon lights, and then pretend they have a racecar. I drive a civic, but I hate 90% of the fixed up ones that I see out there

i hate that!! people just assume that since you drive a civic you drive rice. that isn't true, a civic can be just as much rice as another car. like i have said before, there are plenty of other cars that are riced out. even a lot of domestics.
