Lives up to its name.

Typical sub compact, but wait, this one doesn't feel to cheap, and it lives up to its name, pretty reliable. And looks good in a parking lot Needs better security I had to upgrade

1999 Honda Civic LX 226,000 miles -Purchased new

One owner 21 years - still driving it. Nice A/C and drive. Super reliable vehicle has never left me stranded in the 226,000 miles. Major /Minor service in almost 21 years. Ignition switch, New radiator, Power Steering Pump, Rack & Pinion, Idle air Control Valve and thermostat A/C clutch. Routine svc- Battery, Brakes, Tires, engine oil / trans oil, air / oil filters, radiator hoses, belts, inc timing belt/ spark plugs/wires and power window switch and oxygen sensors. Out of precaution (Fuel pump/sock), Fuel filter and new distributor-Never failed. Very few items if you think about it for the number of years 21 and 226,000 miles.

LOVE Honda Quality- and the ZIP!

As of 6/2020- bought a ‘99 Civic EX coupe w/ 110k; 5 Speed. I’m 64- and it’s a blast. Bought for $2500; needed timing belt/water pump plus wheels/tires. Or $2000 later. WORTH IT!! And when that VTEC kicks in at about 5700rpm.....sweet!

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

The Honda Civic LX 1999 is a wonderful and reliable car. I have had it for 19 years and it runs like it is brand new. Cannot think of a more reliable car than a Honda Civic.

317,000 miles and still drives great

Bought this car 5 years ago from a friend and still drives great. Had to replace the timing belt and water pump not to long ago and clutch but still drives like a champ. Car was never lowered or abused. Very reliable if you keep up with the maintenance.

indestructible

This is a great starter car, great gas mileage, great air conditioner. Big trunk for a small car. Is for sale today with 225,000 miles for $1,065. It seems you cannot kill this car.

Economical, reliable, practical car

I used this car to commute across a large east coast city and also to make occasional long distance cross-country trips. It served both purposes well and did so reliably. I would buy it again without any hesitation.

Most fun and reliable car I've ever owned

The Honda Civic, especially the sixth generation, is an extremely reliable car. I owned a manual transmission, and it was incredibly fun to drive and also got great gas mileage. Honda makes great engines, and it is clear that this car can easily last for 500,000 miles if properly cared for. It also has great lines and was a clear standout at the time (and even now).

Excellent and Reiliable Car

Excellent commuting car with good ride and gas mileage. Very reliable and I drove over 160k miles with no major issues. I had the manual transmission, providing a little bit more power and control. Surprisingly, this was a great car in the snow - never had any issues.
