Great MPG...Little else

Bought my Civic brand new 3 years ago. Great gas mileage, but handles terribly in the snow or rain. Frightening highway driving with car wandering side to side. Early tire wear (cupping). Car will hesitate or not start in cold weather and suspension squeaks and rattles. Interior plastic scratches easily. A bit overpriced, but good if you have a long daily commute and are concerned with gas mileage.

Over priced not worth the money - to many recalls

The car has great styling but handles very poorly. very bumpy harsh ride. I have had many recalls - i paid extra for Honda Quality what a joke. The dealer was to service the car every 7,500 miles at a large cost.

id rather have a car from the 60's

I bought this civic because i gave my 2000 model yr to my grandaughter. i have had nothing but trouble with this car the front suspension went on me (was a recall) and i got that fixed then after 1000 miles the suspension went again, i only have 14000 miles on the car. gas millage is good at 35 highway and about 22 city. my other complaint is that my 1.6L engine is coarse, itll stall and jerk when accelerating. i havent been satisfied with this car and i am currently thinking of trading it in for a different one. i dont know why this car gets such "great" reviews, its just a normal sub average car in my eyes.

I love Honda!

I bought this car brand new when i was 18. i did a lot of research since this was my first major independent purchase. i tried volkswagen(expensive lemons), scion(cheap features, very plastic-ey), toyota, and ford. the civic has the most value for its class. it has a peppy 140 hp engine, all power, and a very cute sporty feel to it(i own a red EX coupe). i wouldn't trade it for anything else. i am going to drive this car until it dies because there is nothing else in its class that even comes close. the only problems i have had was that the visor warped in the sun, the a/c condenser had a faulty weld, and when i purchased the car my passenger side window's rubber stuck when trying to roll up/down. Honda replaced these no problem and quickly might i add. oh and having soo many airbags to protect me in case of an accident leaves me with a good feeling. thanks Honda. i will purchase another in the future.

Great little car

I am getting over 40 mph, while using the AC, in combined city/highway driving. The car has had no problems and has about 40,000 miles. This is my first Honda and I'm impressed.

firm ride

purchased the civic lx coupe, 5 sp manual two years ago. mileage is good, 32 city, 37 highway. one issue....the ride is very stiff. good for performance, not so good for ride. i am going to go to better and slightly larger tires to see if it helps soften the ride. came with turanza tires...wore out in 18,000 miles. going to replace with falken zie 912s

Fun car to drive

This is a great car - handling, gas mileage and looks - I'd buy another one if I was looking for another car.
