2003 Honda Civic consumer reviews

I have owned my Honda Civic EX since 2010. I recently moved out into the country and went shopping for something that was a little better in the snow. I found a Ford Escape. I stored the Honda all winter. I occasionally attempted to sell it but only half heartedly. Now it’s been about a year and I simply can’t part with that little car so I’m selling the Ford and planning on driving the Civic for a long time to come. It has 187,000 miles on it and still runs as smooth as silk. There are a few issues with rust on the body and the faring is held on with gorilla tape. I can’t believe that I nearly broke up with it. Since I parked the Ford and put a for sale sign on it I feel so much better. Living out in the country means a lot more daily miles and the civic offers great gas mileage. By the way the Ford was a 2009 and has started to rust. I realized that it will probably fall apart way before my Civic does. So she has forgiven me and we are back together —forever

In other words, IMO best economy car ever made. The Toyota pickup from the 80’s to me is the most amazing vehicle ever. If there is a 2nd place or a small car equivalent, it’s the 7th gen civic. I have an 03’ LX sedan with Manual Transmission. Bought it with 75k and it has 180k now after 10 years. It hasn’t ever broken down or failed to start and it hasn’t received any repairs. I maintain my civic myself and it’s not perfect (have to add oil sometimes in between oil changes and one time my clutch fluid ran out and I lost all pressure due to super slow leak) but other than normal wear it’s the best machine I’ve ever owned. A lot of these cars are 5-speed, I highly recommend the 5-speed because it makes the car a lot of fun to drive. Even though it’s a slow car, the manual trans combined with smooth, responsive handling and a light curb weight make this car surprisingly enjoyable to drive in the city day in and day out. Not a good car for the freeway. Good for college towns like where I live and there are a lot of streets but not a lot of freeeway driving. I used to own a dodge SRT-4 and this Honda Civic literally handles as good maybe better than that car if you have aftermarket wheels and tires on the civic. I imagine the automatic is a pig probably not fun to drive.

My 2003 civic ex is the best little car I've owned,handles great, i have 117k on it,its a 4 spd auto,great on gas, never had issues, just regular maintenance,like wipers,oil change,breaks tires, but overall great drivetrain, love it,highly recomended.

This vehicle I find is aerodynamic, for its shape and has an engine that wont give in. Honda is like a brother, it's there when you need it. It gives back in so many ways.

I think, or I should say I believe that there is nothing driving anond on the road today that can perform and hold up on it's own like the Honda civic, and accord.

This car met all of my needs. Great gas mileage and I love the sunroof and updated radio. Interior is kept very clean. Friends love the car too!

This car was all I need for my transportation very comfortable and suitable I really liked selling it because I need the money but it is in perfect condition

I bought this car used. I was very happy with its performance and the gas mileage was amazing. I was able to comfortably run errands in it. It was a little small for a family of 5, but the times we all road in the same car weren?t often. If you are looking for a commuter car or just a smaller, reliable car, this is the car for you!

I bought this car at lute riley honda from joe Harrell.this cars a 2003 honda civic ex 4 door with the v Tec motor.not one real problem.runs like she has 10 miles on her.she currently has 185495 miles unbelievable!!!!!keeps on running better every day.I'm in heaven I'm never selling this car I my buy a nother honda but this one stays in my garage!!!!!permanently mine!!!!

Love everything, was maintained super clean. Had one problem but we knew about it before purchasing . Otherwise extremely satisfied, I can not complain at all.
