Most reliable car I ever owned.

I think this vehicle was excellent daily driving to point a to b. I used to deliver in this vehicle and I must say it gets good gas mileage. This car has 140 hp it's zippy around turns it also has great control on the road. I owned this car for eight years and never had any problems with it. Very low Maintenance only ever had to change oil and tires. So my overall thoughts on this vehicle is very very good.

Great Car to Own

Its a blast to drive. The clear coat came off very quickly and needed to be repainted within 8 years.

Great car

Great on gas and very reliable. I use this car to go back and forth to work and all in between. I currently have 177000 miles on my civic ex 5 speed standard and everything is a tight as it should be. It drives like new. I always get between 36 and 37 mpg and doesn't use a drop of oil and no leaks. Only problem I've had was the ac comprresser went out at 170000 miles.

Best car I've owned.

Perfect for my needs. Wish it got a little better mileage- about 30 on average- mixed conditions. Has everything I need except Bluetooth.

Drives just like my 2013 Civic

I needed a car for my college-age son to drive when home during the summers. This car is perfect, and since he learned to drive on my 2013 Civic, the "feel" of the 2009 is just right. I'm pleased with this car and can't beat the gas mileage.

Basic great honda

I used to have an accord so I was happy with dependability. Mileage is ok, I take a lot of short trips and have had no problems mechanically in 8 years.
