Most Reliable Car

It was great on gas, and I got great mileage. Very roomy. Comfy seats, would drive it everywhere and I was comfortable.

The modern day Model T

I've owned this car for several years now, before that it was in my family. This car doesn't have too many thrills (other than cruise control and power windows), but it always gets from point A to point B without any fuss. This car just works, and that's what makes it so great.

Nice economy for reliable car

Great over all car. Owned for 150k of the 190k and it has not missed a beat. Starts every time. Ride is rough... but to be expected.

Most comforting, ergonomic, economical & reliable

The car met almost all my needs in a car. It is comforting with a spacious interior. The automatic transmission works perfectly. Above all, it has good fuel economy.

best performance car ever

i think that the Honda civic was one of the best cars ever produced even though people say its a car only ricers own but i think that ricers just ruined the name of the car. When modified that car can leave a Lamborghini in the dust.And there really reliable I havent had any major issues with mine .There just really good cars overall.

One of best cars in history

I bought this car with a originally 224,500 killometers and it runs like a charm. Perfomance is outstanding, it came with 1.6L VTI VTEC engine originally and now counting towards 250,000 kilometters. I"ve made some services ofcourse because previous owner didn't took care very well. One of the most reliable cars ever made! And after all it's my first car.
