Nothing noteworthy has gone wrong with my '98 Honda Civic hatchback. Just oil changes every 3000 miles and the usual tuneups required. I did have to have the manifold replaced along with the exhaust, but that wasn't until 123K miles. Understandable with the New York winters and the amount of snow/SALT on the roads.
LOVE the simplicity of this model Civic. I also own a 2002 Civic LX sedan, but truthfully the hatchback is more fun to drive. The 1998 is consistently getting 40mpg, and the 2002 is pretty much right on the money of 38mpg.
Will I buy another Honda? Not sure. The new Civic sedans are beyond ugly, IMHO. Presently considering the Toyota Yaris, Scion xB/xA, as well as the Honda Fit as my next car.
Basically, it comes down to this: (and if there's any dealers in the upstate NY area reading this, take note) Whatever company can give me the best deal on my next car, my business is yours.
New Civic ugly? I guess you love them Lancer car rental specials or those aged looking Corolla looks. I love the new Civic and I get a lot of people giving me the thumbs up in traffic.
You're entitled to you opinion as I am mine.
