1999 Honda Civic consumer reviews

Honda Civic 1999 was the first car I have ever had. Got it at 222k miles. Yeah I know that's a lot of miles. Must of been a piece of junk right? Wrong. Most reliable car I have ever driven. This cars gas mileage was made it even more attractive, to my wallet I mean, and it ran like a champ. 0-60 in little over 8 seconds with no modifications as long as you take good care of this vehicle it will last you 200k miles or more. Showing her a little love but there was rarely anything wrong with her. Best car I've owned so far.

I bought this car several months ago as I got a good deal with the mileage. In does not have quite as much pickup as I'd prefer (especially with A/C on) in heavy stop-and-go traffic (perhaps due to its high miles) and is ok on gas. However, out ON THE OPEN FREEWAY, this car is golden! It sips gas - at first I thought the gas gage was broken! Tthis car is born for the open freeways and runs like a charm! Does not burn any oil, either. And it has over a quarter million miles on the odomenter! Hondas run forever! I guess they weren't kidding me!

My Honda Civic DX coupe was my very first car, purchased new in 2000 as a leftover from the previous model year. I had almost no problems with this car throughout the duration of my ownership. This car followed me through college, through three moves to new cities, and put up with the general abuse a daily-driver receives commuting into (at different times) New York City and Boston. Not to mention the fact that two of my three sons spent a good portion of their early childhood in the backseat of this car! I finally traded it in last month, while the poor thing was on its last leg, having travelled nearly 300,000 miles. I decided to go back to Honda for my new purchase and am now the happy owner of an Insight hybrid. Parting with my Civic coupe was difficult--there are a lot of fond memories built into a car that served me so well. If you happen upon a used example, I recommend it whole-heartedly. You won't find a trustier vehicle!

Almost always works. It's only broken down twice. Brake trouble-but only a little. The guys at the car shop fixed it, but they got something else wrong (dunno what yet). I recommend the DX sedan (the one I have). Best is best.

Purchased new on April 15, 1999, this vehicle is the most reliable car that I have ever owned. It has 138,000 miles on the odometer and is still strong. I have replaced maintainance items, like timing belts, spark plugs and brake pads. Oil change every 3,000 miles. I had to replaced the radiator at 130,000. I still get about 24-25 mpg in the city and 30-32 mpg on the interstate. I wish I could a brand new 1999 model. I would do it in a heartbeat. When this little car finally dies (which I don't anticipate anytime soon), I will buy another Civic.

Excellent handling and safety. Very reliable and expect it to go over 200K miles. Peppy yet great on gas mileage (about 35 city). Wonderful purchase for young drivers just getting started.

100000 miles still going, I love this car and I have been driving it for the last 8 years. Civic will be my next car again...

took it for a test drive...it rattles and shakes and is doesn't go in reverse. i hate it dont' buy it, if u do your dump. and why is my bacon burning. I ask you cause for some reason it takes the cake

I have 206K on a 99 Honda Civic and it drives like the day I got it, when the ODO read 000004. It still doesn't like to go into reverse but that hasn't gotten any worse in all these miles. It at first you don't succeed then try first gear and then reverse again and it works. This is a manual. All issues to date: Replaced starter Automatic door locks are inconsistent (it may be because of dust as I live on a dirt road) Headlamps have to be buffed because they are cloudy Other that that it has just been regular maintenance of which I include changing all belts, new bushings and new control arms on the suspension so that the alignment would be easy. If I got the words wrong I hope you can see what I mean. I am 5'2" and the car is a great fit. The gear shift is in a very comfortable position. Steering is tight. It's a great car for lunch time naps, especially on the lumbar section of the back. The AC still blows cold! This car has far exceed my expectations. I've decided that I will keep it. :)

My family and I love this car, we had an unfortunate accident with a Toyota Camry, but the civic still held up. I love this car!
