My brother bought it new, 1995 civic DX hatchback, but

My brother bought it new, 1995 civic DX hatchback, but gave it to me in 2009 w/ 35K miles. It has about 140K miles now. He never had any issues with it when he owned it. Since then, I’ve put about $2K in repairs since 2009. Great gas mileage, 28 city, 38 hwy. Simple engine means simple repairs, not costly. Takes off like a bullet but with only 103 horses there’s not much happening after you hit 35 mph. Bottom line…. Gotta Love Honda!

A 95 with over 200k on it... for 6?! Lol I'd like to hit that also. Maybe a 2k car. That's crazy for a 30 year old car

Extremely Reliable and Easy to Maintain

This car was extremely reliable and was easily maintainable due to parts for this car being readily available at low prices. Also, this series of Hondas has a very well thought out layout, making replacing parts easy and accessible.

22 year ownership of Honda Civic VX Hatchback.

If you are shopping for a car, for long-term ownership, I would persuade you to buy a Honda. I bought my 1995 Honda Civic VX Hatchback 22 years ago, and have owned it ever since then. I have always changed the oil, brakes, and done routine maintenance, and she has never let me down or left me stranded. I've routinely gotten over 40 mpg while traveling, and I've been all over the U.S. with her. Although she has developed some rust issues because I was TDY in the New England area for almost 3 years, she still runs & drives like the day I bought her. LOL, I feel that Honda should send me the new Civic SI Type R, as a loyalty replacement, but I can wish in one hand...right!? If you want a reliable car, and you're not worried about trading it in 5 years, and can use that car payment for something else monthly, then buy a Honda!

Best car i ever owned

Parts are affordable interchangeable with other years and model cars. Can upgrade engine to a Acura or Prelude engine for better horse power certain years. Coupe small enough for quick and easy parking and steering through traffic is a breeze.

Got jipped

As a pizza delivery driver, I was looking for the best available gas mileage along with the best reliability. I bought a 95 Honda Civic DX with 5 speed standard trans. It had 159,000 miles on it. I drove it for a year and put about 30k on it and didn't really have any issues. I was pretty disappointed with the power of the car, especially delivering pizza in a very hilly area where everyone likes to floor it all the time. However, I really can't complain since the gas mileage was amazing (50mpg hwy, 30ish while working). Anyway, on to the important stuff I began experiencing issues around 193k. First the master cylinder went bad. Had to have a shop remove the old one and install the new one due to the brake lines being rusted to the old one. Next was the valve cover gasket and grommets. Both axles needed replacing, as well as some other parts of the front end. Oil pan began leaking. Transmission leaks. Oil pan gasket was replaced and continued leaking. Car stinks like coolant despite not finding any leaks in the hoses or under the car (heater core? water pump?) Car grinds when shifting into reverse. Doesn't like to shift into 1st unless car is stopped completely. After missing much work and putting lots of money into it, I now have smoke billowing up from under the hood along with the strong stench of coolant and I can't find any sign of a leak. In any case I have given up on it and buying something else. I completely expected to get at least 250k out of the car after hearing so many people raving about it. It was very well maintained, regular oil changes with full synthetic and Lucasoil. Basically, if you want a car with a good, reliable engine, then this is for you. However, be warned that EVERYTHING ELSE falls apart with time just like any other car.
