Steady Eddie

Solid, safe, reliable and easy on the fuel. Great car. Lots of room up front, good sounding stereo, rear seats fold for cargo carrying. Just say: 'It's a Honda'.

Perfect starter car

I purchased this car when I was in high school and I drove it for 10 years. I never once had a problem with it beside the basic needing the tires and oil changed. This car definitely likes to get up and go, it's great on gas and it gets you where you need to go "in style". I loved this car and the only reason I got a new one was because of my expanding family.

This car is super zippy and perfect for me

I think this car is easy to drive for a first car for me to pass on to my son . It is very fuel efficient and easy to fall in love with . I will be able to use it to drive my son back and forth to after school activities and to the recreation center.

Would not repurchase

Having owned several Honda's, the quality and reliability of this years model appears to have been reduced. Engine block, radiator, power steering pump, and brake rotor replacements have been the major issues, all with mileage under 80k. Sun visors splits open on seams.

Very fair and honest dealer

This was my first time buying a vehicle from a dealer. The initial price of the car was very reasonable according to kellybluebook so I didn't have to fight for a better price. It came with a 7,500 mile extended warranty, which no other dealer I know offers for older vehicles, and Ken, the owner, made the purchase process fast and simple, even filling the car half way with gas and getting it inspected. I felt I was treated very fairly and wish all car dealers were this way.
