Everything is perfect on this car. It looks great, it's fun to drive, has great gas efficiency, it was cheap (paid $9200 for it used with low mileage) and it is very reliable. It starts up in the coldest conditions easily.

The only problem I have with it is the engine light. It always stays on. I had it checked at the Honda dealership, and was told one of my sensors had to be replaced. It wasn't anything serious, just lowers my gas mileage. I still took it to 750 km's on 1 tank of gas with a faulty sensor!

I love this car too much!

General Comments:

Not at all like my 2002 GREAT Civic. A let down after my 2002 Civic.

Do not buy this car (I can't believe I'm saying that).

Buy a 2002 to 2005 Civic for a great Civic ride and drive.

My Civic, also known as bubble, was a complete dream!! Absolutely nothing was wrong with it! Unfortunately it got smashed and is now totaled. But I will be buying a new bubble soon.

General Comments:

It was a little on the smaller side, but that was fine with me, since I don't have kids, or drive many people around.

Faults:

Nothing at all has gone mechanically wrong.

Paint is chipping, and a ding in the door has started to rust.

Civic emblem has come off.

General Comments:

I have owned my Civic since they first were released in Sept of '05.

This car has been a excellent car. Mechanically I have had no problems at all; no major breaks, repairs, nothing has gone wrong with the engine or tranny, it still runs as good today as it did the day I got it, with just routine oil changes and care.

The only issue I seem to have with the car, is the exterior. The paint started chipping the 2nd year I owned this car, and has since continued to slowly chip here and there. I also got a small dent below the passenger door that has started rusting, but we get snow 4-6 months of the year, and it sits very low, so I guess that is to be expected.

Another issue I seem to have is with tires. I go through tires very fast; about every 1 1/2 yrs, and no I don't drive like a hot rod. Put Pirelli on last Sept, and so far so good.

For it being a small car with low profile tires, I think it handles exceptionally well in snowy conditions, given the low pro tires. Rainy conditions is another matter; it has a tendency to hydroplane, even in small puddles it seems, but other than that, I think it handles very well.

The inside is kinda cozy for a family of four, but works. Not very spacious, but then again, you figure that out before you buy, right.

I can honestly say I love this car, and I hope it lasts. 88,000 miles and going very strong.

Oh yes, and I can't complain about the gas mileage.
