I have a 2000 Civic Si and I have never had a problem with it
One week after I purchased my P5 New
I had to get my alternator replaced
then soon after my transmission had to be rebuilt
I bought my 2000 Si new and I have never had a problem. Last year I bought my Protege 5 also new and I have had the alternator replaced and my transmission rebuilt I say my Si is the better car by far!!!!!
