the civic is a nice car all round , when you first look at it, the thing that strikes you is the excellent build quality, these cars are unlikely to go wrong. they are well manufactured . the car is comfortable inside, and ride quality and handling are excellent. safety is above average, fuel consumption is good , i get approx 34mpg in this model . i have had no problems during servicing and the car has passed its first MOT with no problems what so ever. the only thing i can knock on the civic, is the fact that foreign objects collect in the car very easily, due to a poor cabin filter
Advantages: Practical effective car Disadvantages: Poor security
...service and maintenance from the Honda dealership it was purchased from is great.
The car is a versatile car. It can be used a small family car, in and out of town car. It is big enough for four adults to travel in comfort. The car also has seemed to hold its value well taking into consideration that a further two updated models have been produced by Honda on the Civic Range. The second model really just a face lift on the first.
The car has feature ... ...a few times. NOTE Most Honda of this age are easy to break into.
The model I have is nice to look at with 15” alloys and rear and front spoiler. There are many modifications to the exterior and perform that can be down. However I am not really in that stuff. But it is another option. The car was bought new and came with a reasonable good sound system.
I think this a solidly built car which I comfortable to drive. It has a good fuel economy and ...

Advantages: affordable, comfortable, parks easily, runs to at least 150,000 miles Disadvantages: too small, takes a while to speed up when pulling out on highway
...its type. Also, there are Honda dealerships located conveniently across the U.S. This makes it convenient for the owner to fix damages. The air conditioner in my car still runs perfectly (it is a 1995), and the interior is easily kept up. Although the car is small, it has enough leg room for someone who is pretty tall (6'2" is the height of my boyfriend). Most importantly, I have never broke down anywhere during the past 8 years. I reccommend this ... ...player too. All of these
problems beside the brakes are minor.
Overall, this is a very good, reliable car for everyday use and especially traveling. I would reccommend this car to anyone. My next car will be a Honda because the positives by far outway the negatives! ...

Advantages: Can be good on fuel, Good built Quality, powerful, can be boosted to just over 250BHp. Disadvantages: Rattling, expensive Honda NEW parts, weird fuel consumptions
I have owned my Honda for quite some time now nearly 3 years and it is still going strong. The image of the car is fabulous and many have said that Honda and got this tone of metallic blue in a excellent way. The drive of this car is generally quite good and with excellent pull away speed from traffic lights it is sure to leave others behind. However it is not without its disadvantage, at times I feel as if the windscreen has been positioned so that ... ...ears. I have rated this Honda very highly, efficient on petrol at TIMES on good days you can achieve 50MPG on bad days less than 20 MPG.Look for Air conditioning models now I would recommend because it is well worth it for the summer. Those who say you don't need it are making a grave mistake as i have found during this summer. ...

...but I do love the Honda cars.
We got our Honda brand new a few years ago a white Honda Civic.I wanted this car the moment I saw it ,we looked at many other cars but one test drive and we were hooked.
I was nervous of her at the start and unfortunatly we had 2 people go into the bumper in less than 4 months causing a fair bit of damage but she was fixed.
I did have her serviced at the dealer for the first 2 years but they seem to charge over the ... ...and C £390.00 , which I feel was overpriced,but we had to have the booked stamped,they did not inform us that any good garage can stamp it.Now I still get a regular service at half the price and have no problems.
She has never failed her MOT and has never let us down. She is a very comfortable car with plenty of leg room , which I feel is important.
The only draw backs I feel is that they did not supply back screen wipers and the radio was not ...

...in that league! My honda is now 10 years old - I bought it 4 years ago. It still looks almost new and very sporty - white and low to the groun - and has great acceleration. The smoothness of the drive is probably the thing I love most about it. A few years ago I was rear-ended and had a courtesy car - a Nissan Micra! It felt like a tin can on wheels and was so awkward to drive. When I got my Honda back the smoothness of the engine and the comfort ... ...never given me any kind of mechanical problems, the only things I've needed to replace have been the exhaust and tyres. I've watched friends with newer cars spend a fortune on them and replace them after a few years. My civic is still going strong. The cost of insurance and parts is well outweighed in my opinion by its reliablity and longevity. The only thing I miss in terms of "extras" is air conditioning which will be a must on my next car - which ...

Advantages: Fuel economy, performance, accommodation, dealer friendliness. Disadvantages: Minor niggles, servicing cost can be high, rattles.
We bought our HondaCivic1.5i VTEC-E in 1997 when it was 7 months old, but just had delivery mileage. Our local Perth dealer (Weir Honda) were offering what was a nearly new car with around £1500 off the new price. We knew from looking at comparative prices that this was a good deal and managed to get mudflaps and carpet mats fitted as well.
Broadly the experience has been very good - the dealer has been helpful in sorting out several minor problems. These were rattle in top end of the engine (a minor adjustment), a missing jacking point on the rear nearside, a silencer which gave out after 2 years' use, squeaky ventilation fan and a stuck sunroof (x2). None of these prevented the car from running and all were fixed free of charge. In the case of the silncer they really did not have to do this but decided to offer a replacement ex ...

Advantages: Comfortable, attractive, nippy and reliable Disadvantages: A bit heavy on fuel and tyres.
travelling close to the legal speed limit wherever possible. By comparison, my mother's HondaCivic1.5 auto, driven hard, does the same journey for £25.
If I can sell it, difficult with all the dents, I will very soon, not because I don't like it, but because I get bored with any car after two years. Nevertheless it is a reliable and friendly workhorse that has never let me down apart from a high speed rear blow out while sandwiched between two trucks on the M27 - lucky to get out of that one without any damage. Moral - Always check your tyre pressures and tread depths if you expect to be doing 70 on motorways.No fault of the Mondeo, its good handling, more than my skills, saved my life.
It would probably sell for £2000 now, a depreciation loss of £2900 for nearly two years of "R" Reg motoring which isn't bad. That's why I buy at auctions ...
