Most Reliable Car I've Owned! Love it!

My 2008 Civic Ex-L has 213k miles and still drives like a champ. Great handling, superior gas mileage, and exeptional comfort (and I'm 6' 2"). I have nothing bad to say about it, very simple car, and affordable!

Reliable fun

The civic si is sporty and fun to drive. It's also vary dependable. The vtec motor revs high and sounds mean with an aftermarket intake on it. Also gets decent MPG. No where near as good and a standard civic, but it's a good sacrifice for the extra fun you get out of the si

Most reliable maintenance free car

Most reliable maintenance free car, that satisfies all your needa. Even the car is only 1.8 cc, but the car is nicely drivable in the worst snow storm in Michigan.

Most reliable car we've had!

I loved my civic. The perfect feel, the coupe is very reasonable and you feel safe and confined. The trunk space was kind of small but it is a smaller car after all. Honda has some great warranty coverage and replaced the engine at their expense with 147,000 on the car!

Bulletproof reliability in a cute package

For a compact car, it's hard to do better than a Honda Civic. Reliable and attractive, it's an excellent entry level car, which is good for college-age kids and great for elderly folks who prefer something smaller as well. Other than a somewhat stiff ride, I would say it's highly recommended.

Excellent transportation for all ages.

Other than a somewhat hard ride, this vehicle does it all. Handles secure and corners very well. Great fuel economy and good looks top off the package.
