vcard lost

Most comfy car i have ever owned. I lost my v card in this box and i have never had a more comfortable experience. May have been my only experience but that isn't the point. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a bedroom on wheels.

Honda Civic Si . Last of the real Honda hatchbacks

Love this car . Learned to drive stick with it , not very many SI’s of this generation around . You really don’t see them too often , I highly recommend this little car for anyone looking for something reliable and fairly easy and cheap to fix. With the 2.0 engine that it comes with , you have a lot less maintenance to worry about due to it having a timing chain which are known to need servicing around every 200k miles . Thanks Honda for creating such a reliable , sporty , and awesome car to daily .

My most long time car. Comfortable to drive.

Gives me good low rider experience. We had 2 other cars for family, but honda was our first choice for lots of travels. I haven't thinking to sell it 13 years.

Reliable and low cost to own

Bought my 05 civic new. Has needed only regular maintenance and still runs great. It is a little slow on long hills but that is really the only negative

Honda Civics are popular for a reason.

Reliability and fuel efficiency with a sporty feel. Decent aesthetics and a comfortable interior. crisp handling without a harsh ride quality. can't go wrong with the honda civic.

I love this car.

I've always wanted to own this car because of the look and the reliability. Lucky when I bought this car it has 4 brand new tires and the brakes are brand new too.

Car drives with a leaking gasket

Great value car , bought for $ 3,000 At a dealer and shortly after discovered a small gasket leak however still runs and drives great for its price, drove it about 10,000 miles since and it’s still running like a champ. Nice and smooth however in 2020 you may feel it’s a tad under powered

Excellent reliability

Hondas are well known for their reliability and ease of use, they do what they're designed to do. I've owned several (cars and motorcycles), they've never let me down, never left me stranded, and in some cases made it through things they were never meant for. They make a real quality product.
