2005 Honda Civic Special Edition review from North America
"Best Car for Under 20K"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
So far nothing has gone wrong at all and from my conversations with other Civic owners I do not feel I will need to worry at all until around 250,000 Km's.
General comments?
This car is without a doubt the best car anyone can buy for under $20,000. it is very reliable, handles very well and the 115 hp engine is more than adequate. There is plenty of space in the car and the trunk is more than large enough. I do a lot of driving on weekends and never once have I ever even considered the fact that this car will not get me where I need to go. Sure the car does not have much mileage on it as of yet, but after reading reviews about the Dodge Neon (my apologies to Neon owners who love their car) I realize sometimes cars do break down before even reaching 10,000 Km's. When it is time to finally get a new car my intentions will be to get another Civic.
