I am absolutely in LOVE with chevy cobalts, but I'm on a budget. I'm only sixteen, so obviously I don't have too much money. Buuuut I've been looking at 96 - 98 honda civics and I like them. The kinda resemble the cobalt, in my opinion. But anyway, I was wondering are those years pretty good cars? I'm not trying to buy anything that's gonna shiiiit out on me for quite a few years. Also, I don't know much about cars and I was wondering..is their a certain name for the civics that have the skinny tailights and the bigger headlights? I don't like the ones with the skinny head lights and big tail lights.

I would also appreciate suggestion for more cars that I might be interested in? Or just cars that are going fairly cheap, in general.

-Thanks
