When did Honda stop making their easy to steal Models?
I'm looking at and choosing between a 2003 Honda Civic 2 door coupe with 150k, and a 2002 Toyota Celica with 169k. I know most people would go for the Civic, but I don't want to end up as one of those people who loses their car due to an easy break in. So please, should I invest in the Civic or move on to getting something else.
Any car can be stolen, not necessarily Asian made cars. My friends had their Chevy Trailblazer, Chevy Silverado, and BMW 328i stolen. Professionals are capable of stealing Porsches and other high end marks
The reason Civics (or Hondas in general) are the most stolen is because burglars know that Civics are in demand cars, and they know that their parts are in demand as well since one part can fit into most Honda vehicles. They can easily make money out of them. Burglars rarely steal sh*tboxes like Dodge Neons.
If you want your car to be safe, have an engine immobilizer installed or better yet buy a car that already has one installed. That's what I did to mine, it prevents the engine from starting if the chip installed into the key isn't detected and it makes the car immune to hot wiring. You can also have an aftermarket alarm installed.
A cheaper alternative is a 4 hook steering wheel lock (a.k.a the club). And if you live in a good neighborhood, I wouldn't worry that much.
They never stopped. Almost all Asian-made cars are easy to break into, hotwire, and steal.

- Sometimes the car does not stop when I brake but it feels like it's hard to stop, is this a rotor issue I'm afraid I will rear end someone? It happens every once a while I'll press the brakes and it won't stop like a jumpy feeling is this rotorsrelated? 2001 Honda Passport
- How much of a problem did Hondas have with there push to start feature failing to let their cars start? I have heard some people say Honda had a problem with this. Was it just a few Hondas or was it a big problem?
- Will thieves steal my $100 rims? I'm planning to buy new rims for my 2008 Honda Fit. I bought it used and the hubcaps don't look great. I plan to invest 4x $100 roughly. Are thieves willing to steal these rims?
- When will Toyota finally stop making the Corolla? The Chevy Cruze is an example of a failed car, but why did it fail? Chevy always insulted the Corolla and also the Honda Civic in its Cruze commercials but it seems that the Cruze is the one that fell through the cracks and straight to hell. The Corolla continues on to this day since 1968 and now we're seeing the 2020 Corolla. It just seems like there will be no end in sight to the Corolla, but why
