What A Car!

Bought it in 2002. In the first 200,000 miles (15 years) it only needed one repair (a new starter). i sure got my money's worth. It was a great car.

Honda Civic:Perennial Pre-Owned Winner

What more can one want from basic, reliable transportation? I have over 200,000 miles on this car and it is still strong, quiet and dependable. The paint, except for a minor scrape and ding still looks great and shiny. Gas mileage? How about 35 mpg city and 46 highway! Interior has hardly worn at all. The only possible complaint I can find is not truly a complaint-just a preference: The engine does growl a bit loudly when passing or pumping the gas. But this was the case when new as well. It is just Honda. Plenty of power in that 4 cylinder, though. This is one I plan to keep in the family as long as humanly possible. Thank you Honda.

Best First Car You Can Buy

Great car, has 250k miles on it and never gave an issue. It was in Germany, Hawaii, Spain, and here in the states. My father owned it before me, so it was my first car. I loved it so much! Currently it has a blown head gasket but it has so many miles and is 15 years old, so I would say it did it's job! I was in two accidents and the car stood up like a beast. Never had to go into the shop. I am currently in the market to buy ANOTHER civic, because they are so reliable.

Great car

This has been a very good car for 15 years. Very few repairs a most of them unexpensive. My wife told me that, if she could still drive, she would keep it for her.

Reliable vehicle, 29 MPG

This vehicle has been with me since 2009 and has been a reliable car since. Although there are still minor patches to be made before being sold, I would recommend this car to even the closest relatives (if in need).
