I don't get the issue with these cars existing. If you have a Honda room, set the max BHP to 800. The 3000 Civic cant get that low.
For drag rooms, the Civic struggles with grip so gets hammered off the line. Again, set the max BHP for the room.
I went on last night and sampled a few rooms. The Civic was in every room. I was in a room where there were GT1's, X1's and Civics around Route X. The bells will be ringing at PD by now.
So as for what I think of the Civic. I borrowed one from a former GTPlanet member and had a good laugh. I cannot find a real use for this car other than to make me laugh. There are ways of restricting its access online. You can't use it in Seasonals as they have low PP levels or the car wouldn't compete.
So what is the real problem? Is it those that don't have it that are fighting to have it removed? I see people that are/have been willing to dupe say that this car should be banned as it is cheating. I see others that have always pushed the purity of the game now happy to do 500kph in a Civic. The game is ever evolving and this too shall pass. So I will wait for the next DLC or GT6 or PS4 or whatever else comes next and enjoy the game how ever I see fit. Worrying about what the next guy is doing is a waste of time. Enjoy the car if you have it but don't act like a tool online if you do.
