I bought this car in 2000 for my wife to be. Excellent gas mileage, good looks, nice handling. Overall, I wish I had bought the EX version. The fit and finish on this was not as good as my Accord. A little slow on the get-go unless you rev the engine super high. No trunk opener on the keyless entry.

I have 186000 miles on my Civic. Have never experienced a failure to date. I use only synthetic oil and change it every 7500 miles. The car has never let me down. On a recent trip of 3000 miles to the Florida Keys the gas mileage was 36 MPG with the best tank average of 40 MPG

It's been very reliable. I've had no trouble whatsoever, even with the harsh winter we had. Workmanship is above standard. Peppy 1.6 liter engine and very gas efficient, which is a plus considering gas is averaging $2.20 a gal. around my area. This car rides tight and rattle-free, great for a small car. Make sure you get a Civic that's Honda certified, this way you won't wind up with a car that's been "upgraded" with aftermarket add- ons by some mechanic wanna-be.

It was a good deal for the money, although it needs oil changes, etc. or it gets "fussy". For a small person it's fine, but for a "larger person" it's cramped. The gear also sticks sometimes when in park, not allowing you to turn the key and remove it from the steering wheel.

It's not a performance vehicle right off the lot. But, I needed something safer and more practical than my old truck. This civic has worked great. I've put 102K miles on it, and no problems. Easy to work on as far as replacing spark plugs, changing oil, etc. Gas mileage is great. Commute into Atlanta, and still get 32/33 mpg. Nice to have the CD player and keyless entry. There are plenty of things that could be upgraded on this car. No cruise control, no trunk light, power windows, a little more than 108 hp. However, like the subject line says, it is what it is. It's a comfortable commuter car, and on long trips. Really great gas mileage, and you never have to worry, it's a Honda

I love my Civic! Reliable, quite
comfortable, and just the right size.
This is the first Honda I've ever
owned; I definitely would purchase
another one. The 100,000 mile extended
warranty ($850) purchased and financed
when the vehicle was new proved to be
about even in payback. The first repair
occurring at 80K (rear seal leak) and a
split manifold at 92K were both covered
by the extended warranty, including car
rental. The only other repairs were
brakework at 90K and 106K plus a timing
belt and water pump that I elected to
replace at 105K as a preventative
measure. The muffler is the original.
Although I have 111,000 miles on the
vehicle, it appears to be mechanically
sound.

Good: Interior build quality and
control layout is hard to beat in a
car of this price. Controls are all
well placed and materials are high
quality. The car is very comfortable
to drive.
Bad: Engine is noticeably loud in the
upper RPM ranges. Automatic
transmission is not very smooth
between shifts. Engine downshifts as
soon as I take my foot off the
accelerator, then abruptly shifts back
up into previous gear. Causes car to
lose speed even when traveling
downhill! Strange black trim pieces
gave me pause. Why didn't Honda make
the EX exterior trim, which was
integrated and color matched, a
standard on all trim levels.

Honda does most things very well, and
this car is no exception. It's built
as well as cars that cost twice as
much, and has held its value remarkably
well. In almost four years of
ownership and 38,000 miles, I have had
no problems at all! It consistently
gets 37 mpg on the highway and only
slightly less than that in town. It's
not fast, but it's plenty capable, and
you'll never feel like you're going to
be stranded.

This car was made to be bought and put
ALL the aftermarket stuff you can on
it. That is why it is a "Value Package".

Car is very comfortable, has great
pick up and is great on gas. Perfect
1st car!Inside is comfprtable for 5
and the seats are supportive. Has
power everything (LX) and has a great
list of standard items like cruise
control, a/c, and rear defroster. I
would recomend the Civic to anyone
looking for a cheep car.
