Only ever simple repairs

This car has the d16y8 in the ex model a very good engine 1.6l 123 hp factory and almost ZERO body roll in turns. This car with turbo chargers, upgraded piston rods and a bored out intake header/manifold can make I have heard 500 hp- 800hp

204578 miles on it and it still runs great.

Overall it's not a bad car. My only complaints are that it has very little leg room, and very poor power. Mine is a base model so the power is to be expected. But it is a dog on the highway. But it does have over 200,000 miles on it, and I paid 1,500 for it about 6 months ago and hasn't had any problems. Oh, by the way, I put about 15,000 of those miles on it already.

I will never sell this car!

I love this car so much I told my family when I pass away to drain the fluid's and bury me in it. I have over 200,000 miles and the original air conditioning will frost your #@$ and it is just so reliable. Aside from the usual replacement battery and brake pads and tires I will never part with my little Civic

Super clean and fun car to own

Best car I ve owned ( Toyota, Ford, Nissan)

Stands out in performance, ride and handling. Fastest car I ve owned. Better than 93 Toyota Corolla. Quieter, accelates faster, superb handling, uses less gas.

Living Up To Honda Reliability

This car is a testament to building a car to drive and keep driving. Whether it be city or highway daily driving this car is one of the best cost effective & reliable cars I've ever owned (I've own about 20 cars, mostly Honda). That being said I will always own at least one Honda and at this point I've talked so many into owning a Honda I should start getting some kickback!
