easy to work on, reliable, lasts forever and fun to drive and mod up. Apr 28, 2020

Has been a great car the year and a half I have owned it. Enough power to be really fun to drive. I happen to know it can get into the 120 Mph range. The LX had the 2nd least powerful engine as well! I drive my vehicles VERY hard, and this one has held up fairly well all things considered! I usually get about 34 Mpg.
Mainly related to the age of the car, but I have had to put some money into it. The shocks were getting a little sad and needed to be replaced, as well as front and rear lover control arms (all of which I did myself). The one big expense was when my transmission crapped out on me. Looking back I should have replaced it myself, but I just had someone put a low miles one in for me for about $1200. I have a sneaky suspicion it was abused before though. I also got mine cheap because the speedo was erratic. I purchased a gauge cluster and transplanted the electrics for $60, and it is good as new!Apr 08, 2014

best year hatch imo.. only thing with these cars is there is squeaks in the rear due to the plastics and loose screws.. easy fixes.. easy to mod, cheap, theres so many parts you can make your different in some way if u look hard anuff or pay the big bucks for REAL jdm parts.. the motors that come stock (Single cam d series) are pretty strong and good on gas. but the fact that you can put a b-h-d-or k series in with ease is a big plus!! the list goes on and on..Aug 29, 2010

I love my honda <3 Good reliable motor easy to build easy to drive tons of after market parts anywhere you look great mileage the best cars in my book. And hondas are made in america now so any argument over "american" made cars goes out the windowAug 28, 2010

Hondas are pure quality. Last forever. Yes thin metal that makes for rough body lines. Cheap and easy to fix. And built right can beat out muscle cars. Is it fun to drive? being a 80's z28 with a stock 4 cylinder? is that fun to you?Aug 15, 2010

This car gets between 33 and 40 miles per gallon. As such, any issues are irrelevant when trying to save money. It takes unleaded fuel. The oil is not synthetic. The ride is not too stiff or too spongy. Instead it's a comfortable ride and inexpensive. Definitely a great car to drive if you don't care too much about appearance or the dirty looks you get from larger vehicles' drivers.Aug 03, 2010

I've had it since i was 15 and it is fun to drive it has been a project for me. It performs good for what it is, it has a sohc non vtec with a built head , ported and polished head,aggressive cam, reflashed ecu, air intake, exhaust, header, sway bars all around, short shifter, lowered, full polyurethane suspension, that's all i can think of , it looks pretty good, most people say it looks good and they like but others dont , which is fine by me, i am open to any personal opion anyone has. it's just a really fun car to drive, i got hit twice by neglagent drivers and it was their faults but iam working on getting it put back together.Jul 16, 2010

It is excellent on gas milage, but has bad acceleration!!! You will definitely not pay as much for gas as you would for other cars!! But the power in the car is not the greatest, unless you add some performance parts. Jun 29, 2010

This fifth generation civic lx has the d15b7 engine. It is very good on reliability and getting good gas mileage. On the other hand, it has very low power so it is slow. Has good looks, and it's interior is probably better than any car under 25k or 30k now a days. As a daily driver, this is a perfect car and its cheap to own.Jun 19, 2010

clean eg with 100k miles. fun daily driver handles great. great on gas. interior is perfect.leteraly nothing wrong with it. this car was a steal for what i paid for it. owned the car for 2 weeks and already have had offers from people wanting to buy it.Mar 26, 2010

the acceleration is smooth but the power of the high-end is amazing! I have the
automatic tranny yet, and as far I've changed the gearbox twice cause it's
lifetime..
handling is so grippy, you won't make it sliding easily, the suspension
characteristic is rigid but depends on its load.
the exterior styling is amazing for it's production period(1992-1995) and the
interior so wide..
it's really fun to drive, you can manuevering so easily at high speed, there's no
swaying effect during the drive, and the braking system is perfect!
I've use it for 6 years but theres no specific problems, except its gearbox.
this is the one of the well-built car of the world!!Mar 25, 2010

Love my old little red '93 Honda Civic Si hatchback! Spent thousands of dollars on upgrade on sound system and high performance parts (cold air intake pipe, performance exhaust system, etc). Great fuel economy and handle extreme well. Never had any expensive repairs just regular maintenance! Well built by Honda Canada! :)
Unfortunately, sold my Civic to a friend because starting a new family. I'm miss her very much! Feb 20, 2010

Performance - D15B7 Automatic Transmission, Not very fast, Good car to go from point A to point B. Suspension is decent as long as you dont use 17, 18 Rims (makes the car have a rough drive). The breaking is decent.
Build Quality - Thin sheet Metal, Easy to get dents, Oil does burn if your Piston Rings are not in good shape.
Appearance - Interior is mostly all plastic. The stock Seats feel very comfort, has room for 2 more people in back. Decent trunk space.
Cost of Ownership - 24 dollars to fill the tank every week.
Fun Factor - Fun car to modifiy and swap engines for beginner Tuners.Feb 14, 2010

For a 1.6L it accelerates pretty quickly and it's very agile. There's tonnes of space on the inside even thought it looks small from the outside. Mine has gone over275,000km yet it doesn't look or feel that old. Overall, it's fun to drive and feels great to have.Jan 09, 2010

It's a hatchy, in this case a lil rice rocker, with the lowest
weight you can get. Anything on these cars is easy and cheap
to replace, aftermarket is overflowing with parts. Easily you
can gain power with minor bolt-ons.Dec 31, 2009

Absolutely love the car. this is my 3rd eg and hopefully my last. I love the way it handles and the acceleration and top end speed for such a small car with only a sohc 1.6vtec motor this car pulls hard.Nov 28, 2009

i love the new b18 i dropped in. it corners like a rocket sled on rails. love the custom leather seats, and the pimp battle style steering wheel. but i still get 45 miles per gallon on the highway. very low maintanence.Oct 17, 2009

Performance:
Acceleration - decent for a 1.5L, But it will be a ton better once I get my new engine in.
Braking - Never Have any problems stopping it
Handling - It takes corners like a champ.
Quality - Never have any problems with it, no matter what
Appearance - I like the look. But there's still a few things I'd like to change.
It's a really easy car to take care of. The gas mileage is awesome and overall I've just a fun car to have and drive.Oct 11, 2009

Cheap car to own and maintain. Problem is, if you
have the mod bug like i do, there are so many options.
Great little track cars once you build it right. best
part; this car will not die no matter how hard you beat
it.Aug 31, 2009

this car is more than capable of taking you to hell and back
with minimal problems. it has the best gas mileage 48 to55
mpg. It has amazing acceleration for only having 92 horse
power thanks to its V-TEC E. its looks are clean inside and out
and handles better than most cars. maintenance is very
affordable. This car is pure fun.Jul 21, 2009

it drives fantastic. good acceleration. not so good brakes. not so good handling. there is nothing styling on. but its a fantastic car i love to drive it and its a fun car to drive in. try a car like that its a ride of a lifetime.Jul 05, 2009

Performance - Modified engine and suspension so things got better
Build Quality - Freaking bubbles accumulate on roof, tough engine, tough suspension
Appearance - I love the way it looks, very sleek, you don't have to go extreme lengths to make it look good, sometimes just lowering it will do the job...of course i did more to it that just lowering it :)
Cost of ownership - Parts a bit expensive
Fun Factor - Due to my modified suspension its fun to driveJun 19, 2009

Its actually my other halfs n hes modded it quit a bit! Hes put a de-cat exhaust on it which sounds amazing, a bonnet scoop-although non functional at the moment looks mean. The bucket seats are sooooooo comfy n the sports steering wheel feels great!Jun 14, 2009

I bought this car about 3 weeks ago and I love it! Top package you could get in 1993. Power sunroof, mirrors, power steering. Runs and drives strong! Can't ask for much more power from a 1.6L Inline-4. When VTEC kicks in, you better hold on, cause she purrs like a kitten. Very good on gas also. Only costs me $25 (ish) to fill the tank, and it lasts me quite a long time. It's also very reliable, as I drive it pretty hard every day, and she's still holdin up for me! By far the best car I've ever owned. Then again, I haven't owned an S2000.... yet.Dec 02, 2008

The engine never dies even running it dry (no oil) for a week
There is no rear weight so it was great for driving in the snow.
It was a very simply built vehicle so it was easy to tinker with and learn about cars.
It was very economical as far as fuel economy was concerned.Sep 01, 2008

This is my fully build drag Civic modified for more than $25k. It's running in the danish allmotor FWD street class and is currently the fastest car in the class. It does the QM in 11.35 @ 124.7 mph on an unprepped track.Jan 27, 2008

I have wanted this car even before I started driving and now I finally have one. The stock motor in the car only has about 70 horse power which is kind of pathetic. The CX trim of this car does not have any "extras". It has cloth seats, no power steering, no A/C. I bought this car not with the intentions of daily driving it, but to make it fast. It is extremely light weighing in at 2055 lbs. and also is a perfect car to swap a newer motor in.Jan 15, 2008
