Reliable car just cheap plastic

I really like how little issues it has and how long Honda?s last. It has a nice digital screen to enjoy and good gas mileage.

10 Year of Good Service

For an economy car the EX-L handled pretty well in the corners. The factory tires were horrible in snow and wore out quickly. Most of my 174K miles were trouble free, but the muffler weld joint rusted out, the starter failed and I had to remove a shim from the A/C clutch after the clutch became intermittent. This Civic never stranded me anywhere and is generally reliable.

Solid reliable car

Great commuter, plenty of room for 4 other passengers, dependability with the Honda name. There is no fancy gadgets included, but it provides the basic features for any great commuter.

Best value for the money

A lot can be said for buying an older used vehicle with low mileage. The car I purchased looked like new inside and out with one minor scratch on a fender. The MPG is more than any vehicle I've owned in the past. I am super pleased with the performance and I can't say enough about the roomy interior.

I like my car

I am a short woman so this car works fine for me. My husband is tall and he is the passenger (it is my car!) and really does not have the leg room he needs. I have a coupe so maybe the sedan would be better I don't know. I wanted a stick shift car and I am very happy with how it shifts and the gas mileage!

Great car for student

This car was exactly what I was looking for. The right size, a little sporty, a manual 5-speed, excellent miles per gallon,and it handles well in the rain. Even though it is a used car, it was well-maintained and I have confidence that it will be reliable to get me to work and school.

Hondas are the best

I've tried to own other makes but I love Hondas so much. I'm definitely a lifetime loyal customer. Whether I buy it used or new, Hondas have never let me down.
