Review

Bought it new and still running. The sad part is a recent car accident may make me part with it. Otherwise, I planned to drive it until the odometer started at 0 again.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage and all that fabulous trunk space. Perfect for college moves and later, as a parent, fitting that stroller.

Suggested Improvements

Would raise the ceiling a little bit. My tall husband keeps bumping his head on the top.

Review

I bought this car used in 1997 and have driven it until the wheels fall off. The odometer stopped working almost a year ago at 229,900 miles; it's probably pushing 300,000 now. Great car, never let me down. Replaced CV boots/joints, O2 sensor, radiator and had work done on AC timing belt and seals. I can't say enough about how well designed the car is, how great it handled and how nice it was to have no car payment for 9 years! It's hemorrhaging oil now, so I'm going to lay it to rest and get a new civic.

Favorite Features

Styling, price, fuel efficiency, features, design, quality of materials.

Suggested Improvements

Sunroof and window motors are weak, cup holder flimsy (esp. with huge fast food cups).

Had my civic for 14 years and 270,000 miles later it still going strong. Very reliable and easy to work on. Worth every penny.

One of the greatest

The 1995 Honda civic is one of the greatest cars ever made. They are easy to maintain and work on. Only minor work has been needed for mine. Oil changes, tune ups, brakes, tires are the only things that it has needed. I gave it a custom paint job since the original paint faded. One of the car's faults was the paint but everything else is great. It's fun to drive - very reliable and awesome in gas. If the American automobile industry made cars like this, they would not be bankrupt. I will not buy another car that is not a civic. For now I'll take care of mine because it takes care of me. I think it will run forever. I changed the timing belt and waterpump just to be safe, and it might run another 200,000 miles...

Favorite Features

The handling and reliability. The simple way to fix and work on. The great gas economy. Easy upgrades and easy to customize.

Suggested Improvements

A cluster panel with more lights. Make it brighter to see the tachometer. Better paint and clearcoat. Make it harder to steal.

Good rep, bad car

Review

Have had my '95 LX for just over a year and it's sitting on Craigslist waiting for someone to buy it. The car is extremely slow, even with the manual trans. It's tiny which is only good for parallel parking, only fits about 2 adults comfortably. Gas mileage is AWESOME (36 mpg in the city) which is the reason I bought it when gas was almost at $5. If you're a single person that commutes with no kids, pets, or stuff to carry around than it's an ok car. I've found that the car is completely rusted out underneath when a piece of my exhaust fell off on the highway (and you can only go 70 mph or the little engine will blow up). CV joints and rack boots need replacing every year.

Favorite Features

Gas mileage in the city, will run forever if you pay for the constant maintenance.

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage on highway, too small, cup holders are worthless, very easy to break into.
