2002 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.7L 4cyl 5M)

Review

Great car! Only complaint I have is that you feel EVERY little bump on the road, but I guess you would expect that with a 1850 pound car.

Review

I have had my '02 Civic EX Coupe for a week short of a year and love it more as time passes! The seats are very accomodating (I'm 5'10"/255lbs), interior is designed very egronomically, pretty peppy, nice drivetrain, excellent MPG (I average 31 MPG combined, right on par with the 31/38 claim). It has stood up very well for the mileage I put on it so far! I went with Eternal Blue w/Moonroof Visor, 15-Spoke Honda Wheels, Rear Wing Spoiler, Fenderwell Trim and Mudguards for looks :-)

Favorite Features

Fuel Economy, Drivetrain, Ride Comfort, Spacious Trunk, Friendly Dealership, Peace of Mind!

Suggested Improvements

The OEM tires are only better than riding on bare wheels! Throw on some decent tires, even if it means charging a few hundred more! I'm putting Michelin Harmony's because my stock tires are worn down already.

Review

what can I say about my civic. this will be the second one I have owned. I gave up my ford explorer for my civic and I don't reget it. It is so fun to drive and zippy. I fits in small places, witch means less door dings from other cars because thier doors don't reach it. I can't say enough about my civic. I tell everyone they should own one. It fits a small family, I have to children, and they tell me they have plenty of room in the back. they like my zippy car, as they call it.

Favorite Features

I guess I don't really have a favorite feature. they all work great form me. but one comes to mind, the antenna in the back windsheild really gets great range.

Suggested Improvements

trunk button on the hand held keyless.

Review

My Civic has been a great choice among cars so far. I am a working, college student driving an average of 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year. I average 29-32 miles per gallon every tank. Its fun to drive, but it could use more than 127 horsepower. It currently has 21000 miles on it; I hear it should last until 210,000 miles... we'll see.

Favorite Features

I like the seats, the titanium/graphite interior and the room.

Suggested Improvements

Turbocharger.

Review

I found a 2002 EX - that was traded-in with virtually no miles on it. I like it very much - I had a Civic Hatchback for nearly 10 years with virtually no problems and was so inexpensive to run. I do like this car it suits my needs is larger than the Hatchback I had. I test drove a 2003 - hated the new dials and found the engine to be noisey. So far with the '02, I have few complaints. I hope to have it for another 10yrs - unless I can find a good RollsRoyce cheap!

Favorite Features

SunRoof, CD player, instruments are easy to read.

Suggested Improvements

plastic interior components scratch easily. Scratch in power driver window glass due to something in the door warranty item? Plastic covering between front and back doors became loose. Dent problem in doors. The trunk lid must be tin-foil or aluminum.

Review

I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX coupe. Haven't had a problem with it, and i refill the gas tank every 380 to 420 miles combined city and highway. Although my car is stick, it isn't a great performer. It is quiet, and has nice interior materials which is what matters most to me.

Favorite Features

The nice shifter, and the build quality of interior parts.

Suggested Improvements

the armrest is somewhat small. I would rather have a compartment/armrest (The 2003's come with this).

Review

I have had my Civic for nearly a year and this car runs like it is still brand new. The manual is much more fun to drive than the automatic, and of course, could use a bit more pick up. But how can I complain when I average 34-36 MPGs in the Washington, D.C. area? I opted for the silver coupe with side air bags, security system (insurance discounts on both), fog lights, spoiler, 6-spoke wheels, and sunroof visor(not neccessary). This car was great in the snow with the OEM tires. Did not get stuck once. Overall when you buy a Honda you know what you're getting a reliable, practical car at a decent price.

Review

since we bought this 2002 Civic we haven't had good experience at all: 1. Fuel Drinker: 20-22 short distances and 30-31 highways. 2. Noisy: some noise local drive and can-not-stand-anymore noise on highways. 3. Terrible breaks: when step a little harder on the break it becomes really sudden break which scares me every time. 4. Glitch Transmission: when change from one speed level to another the transmission is not smooth at all (big glitch & noise). P.S. we're very regret that we bought this not satisfying at all car (will NEVER buy Honda again...)
