My experience is a bit different. I bought my 96 hatchback new. It is now 2022 and it still runs like a new car. I've taken care of it, regular maintenance, kept it in the garage, and people are amazed it is 26 years old. I still get 38-40 miles per gallon, and I live in the hills of central Arkansas (purchased it in Texas). We moved from Texas to Ohio for family reasons (up there for 7 years) and it did fine in all the cold and the snow. I love driving it where we now live, and usually I get comments from people when I am filling with gas about how I must like the gas mileage and then they are surprised it is an old car. I have been asked if I want to sell it, and I told them not until I'm on my deathbed.

Never had a single problem in 2 years. Love the utility, reliability and looks. Plenty of room to haul stuff (if you need to). Not sure why so many people feel they need an SUV.
Beloved Honda

Just sold it after 7 1/2 years. Will miss it a lot. Hardly any trouble at all; very quick, reliable. Only reason to sell was I wanted an Outback Sport. But can't recommend the Honda Civic hatchback highly enough.
Great Lil Car

Im in the military, and im a single mother. I got this car during the winter and was surprised as to how well it did on the roads in Italy [im in Pisa]. My daughters car seat actually fits quite well behind me while i drive and i drive comfortably.. [mind u im also 5'6] Its a great lil work car, i get awesome gas mileage [i only put about euro 40 in every two weeks]. This is just an awesome lil car. I do have dash problems, as in the display doesn't work, but all in all, great lil car. And amazing space!
Good reliable car

I have the midori green hatchback dx model. The car isn't fast by any means but it's really reliable. I like the storage capacity of the hatchback. It's a simple car and because of that simple maintenance will keep this car running for a very long time.
