We got it from a family friend who was moving to Abu Dhabi, and so sold it for $750. My (older) sister got it when I went to college; I think she replaced it around 1999 or 2000.

It is a cheap car and easy to customize, think of the cars in movies like the Fast & Furious : Tokyo Drift. It could be that parents are being more economical in choices for their teens or handing down their economical cars, but I would think part of this is the appeal of the tuner market.

But the survey says "...the most popular used car is a seven-year-old Civic" ..didn't expect that coming. :) It's comforting to see that *reasonable* used cars are popular among teens (or parents of teens).
