2003 Honda Civic DX-G review from North America
"Totally worth it (best car in its class)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced a lower left ball joint on the driver side wheel after 120,000km, but that's only because I drove on very rough roads in Michigan.
No other problems have occurred and I am the only owner of this 2003 Honda Civic DX-G.
General comments?
The engine is 1.7L inline-4 cyl. with 115hp with a manual transmission. (a basic entry model for 2003).
Civic is very easy to drive and a lot of fun, even after having it for almost 6 years and 170,000km.
I would recommend it to everyone, especially new drivers.
It basically handled everything I put it through: very heavy snow, deep puddles, extremely rough Michigan roads and long Ontario roads... let's just say the car went through hell and back with me, and it's still in great condition.
Unfortunately now I am selling it because my wife can't drive manual, but I am considering buying a new one after my parents just purchased a 2008 Civic DX-G, and it runs great with its CVT transmission.
You won't regret buying a Civic!!! Fun, fun, fun car.
