Used 1996 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
40 mpg
Great point A to B car, excellent for city driving. The 96-00 Civics are some of the best used cars around. Inexpensive to own (purchase price, Ins. cost, repair, fuel etc.). ***The SOHC engines can be prone to connecting rod bearing failure at high mileage.***
VERY RELAIABLE CAR
It is a very reiable car. Just rides smooth
96 Civic EX
CV joints going bad, muffler rusted out at the axle (seems very common on civics), clutch is wearing out(prior driver possibly). My biggest complaint is that it has hesitated for almost a year with no check engine light. It's been in the shop numerous times with no luck. Not very pleased with the "Honda quality". Will be buying Toyota next round.
Best Coupe under $14000
I own this car about 6 years by now, just love it. Very high reliability (so far less than $150 to fix a trivia problem), fun to drive, over 37 mpg average on hwy/local (5spd manual).
civic ex
unbelievable reliability. I have 110k miles on my ex an it still runs like it did when it was new. the only time its ever been in the shop is for a new muffler and thats only because I live in New England and the winter road salt caused the stock muffler to rust through.
