2 of 3 people found this review helpful
Bought this car just over a year ago with 90000km on it. Now has 120000km mostly highway gets around 43 mpg. It's just a base model with 5spd stick. Work really good. Had to timing chain replaced at 95k as well as serpentine belts should be replaced every 100k. Have also replace break lines and Oil pan at Around 110k. Also just replace alternator witch is a common thing for Honda. Changed out spark plugs And oil every 5k. Over all this car is a good reliable car no complaints mechanical wise runs like a top . As far as the interior seats are alittle stiff but are manageable. It's a fun little car and with today's gas prices I would recommend anyone of this car.
Horrible unreliable car and dishonest dealers

Bought brand new in 2005. Dealer tried to sneak a car with a dent on the door and cracked instrument panel as brand new. I pointed out these problems, but the dealer gave me problems and back talk. Alignment was off from the start and could never be corrected. Car pulled to the right of going straight. At 58,000 miles, had a blown head gasket. Performed all required routine maintenance at dealer, then vastly superior independent mechanic. After three recalls on the defective airbags and airbag inflator, had to return to dealer for airbag work. Dealer gave a list of repairs exceeding the value of the car. One of the items was the water pump was leaking. I told the service advisor that was impossible, since I just changed the timing belt that required the water pump to be replaced. The service advisor was surprised that I knew what I was talking about. Within one month, I got rid of the Honda and bought a new Toyota Corolla Hatchback. By the way, the water pump was not leaking.

Just back from my fourth visit to the dealer and $1800 poorer so far. Had to replace the crankshaft sensor and harness. Doesn't include the $1000 for the timing belt and maintenance they talked me into on the 1st visit. We bought into the Honda is the most reliable car on the road fantasy, 500k miles and nothing but an oil change blah blah... Ours is only at 99K. Always did all the scheduled maintenance. I almost stalled out on the highway. Try seeing how happy other drivers are when you're driving 20 mph on the 101 (for you socal drivers) Looks like the same trap we had with Ford and GM. Thing just starts falling apart at 100k/10 yr. The civic didn't even make it that far.
Most UNRELIABLE car ever owned

After owning many Hondas since 1983, buying a 2004 Civic EX was not questioned. It has proved to be nothing but a headache with techncians unable to find the problem. It has a continuing refusal to start probem. Tech says it's a quirk that we'll just have to live with. Been at dealership several times since 6/04. They don't pick it up (they'd too busy) then say they can't find the problem because it's been jump started. Two complaints have been filed with Honda North America. Both times promised a response within 2 business days. No response to either complaint. Service techs are useless; customer service is nonexistent. Honda is not the quality car it once was.
