Default Civic 7th or 6th Gen which should I buy

Well the BMW will be gone soon, I need to purchase another car so whats better 6th or 7th gen civic.

What I'm looking for

Power windows
Power door locks
Automatic trans yikes h: I hate shifting never owned a auto car before
2 doors

Prefer an HX

Working capital 6-$7500

Will not even consider the Si model

Car will never see any mods, So I'm only looking at stock ones

Do these cars have any weakness that is known about them?

The later model from what I understand has a excellent crash rating.

Are the auto transmissions good or do they blow up like a DSM at 60k.


Nearly bought a 4 door 01 EX sedan last night for $7000, don't care for four doors so no deal h:

I'd get a 7th gen hybrid with the way gas prices are.

7th gen. if its gonna be bone stock and left that way, newer models have more longevity (usually).

Even without the mods I like the styling of the 96-00, especially the 99-00 red/white tails
