2006 Honda Civic ex review from North America
"You cannot go wrong with a Civic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong, still very new.
General comments?
Great car, back seat has lots of room for my four year old twins. I do notice that the car is somewhat unstable on those bridge grates, but rides well in all other respects.
Called the dealership on the repair schedule. In a nutshell, change all fluids every 30,000, no timing belt service as in the past.
Have yet to run the car hard, still too new. Mileage has been in the mid 30s and expect this to get a little better.
Love the look of the rear of the car, looks like a BMW.
Car is black with ivory interior. I worry about keeping the inside clean with the kids, but what the heck.
