I love this car, I had to learn manual transmission to drive mine. It's perfect for me since I'm single. Car responds favorably to maneuvers and brakes are perfect. I hate the check engine light on mine, its been on for a very long time, have no idea what it is, so it's very frustrating.Jul 21, 2014

Love the car overall jit gets very good gas mileage, it is very reliable, do not like the fact that is does not have ABS brake t tends to skid and slide f you have to come to a sudden stop. I just wish it was in great shape and not a salvageFeb 05, 2014

The braking and acceleration of my Honda Civic Coupe is very good for how much I
got it for ( $300 ) If I could recommend any car it would be this one. The only thing
wrong with this car is the colour (silver) which I am not fond of at all. Very good
with gas because its a hondaAug 12, 2013

It runs o k and drives o k. Best for younger folks who drive a lot and need more economy. I need more comfort. Honda makes reliable products and this one should provide another 100K miles of service with adequate care. Thanks-good luck & HAPPY MOTORING! Oct 29, 2012

My wife and I were happy with the car, however we ran into some unexpected repair costs due to a previous owner adding excessive after market parts. The car would be best if left as original as possible. Otherwise, the car is great and gets you from points A to B while saving you gas. Oct 16, 2012

Perfect little car. Fuel efficient, good car for the winter. It performs fairly
well for a little 4 banger. It's fairly cheap to maintain and parts are cheap
and easy to find. The car is fun for what it is. Feb 25, 2012

Was a tank in the snow unstoppable with the Blizzaks. There were also many parts you could buy to make the car yours and not look like any one elses. It was also fun to drive and toss around on the roadFeb 02, 2012

Can get 40.9 mpg! Fun to drive. Low maintenence costs. Few squeaks. Excelent handling. Beautiful styling. Comfortable seats. Good ergonomics. Would rather have mechanical door locks and windows. Had Eibach springs and Motegi wheels when purchased. Missing intake, radio, and side trim when purchased. Pops out of second gear (most likely bent shift fork).Oct 27, 2011

Its great on gas being a 5-speed and it rides smooth. Heat works amazing, definately a fun daily driver. Not too slow but not too fast either. Handles pretty well and breaking and acceleration are both decent, could be better with upgraded brakes.Aug 31, 2010

I have had this car for about 7 years now and i am still proud
to say that i own a honda civic coupe. I have the manual
transmission and love how it feels when cornering the only
problem that i have had is with the breaks they have squeaked
fro a long time i have had the wheels realigned and and
breaks replaced and ask the honda dealer to check that specifically but nothing has worked. i had a friend who had
the sedan of the same year and he has the same problem
aside from the noise there is no problem with the brakes so i
just live with it. i love driving this car fast it is really quite fun
when pushed. i average about 30 mpg per on most fill ups. Jun 03, 2010

This car is cheap to fill, and you can drive as much as you want. you can easily roll the mileage over. A little bit of love and this car will pay itself off over and over again. Plus you can make it look really good.Nov 11, 2009

the suspension work makes it a lot of fun to take around turns along with the sound of VTEC kicking in is amazing. Its a little slugish off the line, I would really love the money for a B18C5 engine swap. I also want some Honda Fit HFP rims before next spring with some Toyo Proxes T1R rubbersNov 05, 2009

The car has great gas mileage and a pretty solid build without to many cheap things to break. Cost of ownership has been cheap.Don't get it if you want performance, but it does take corners well enough to be fun.Jul 25, 2009

drives well, kind of loud because of the lame exhaust pipe. few dents and scratches. Euro tail lights, I don't like them but other people might. Get great gas mileage. Cheap repairs. A beast, can withstand a lot of force haha.Jul 12, 2009

Overall a great car. Amazing gas mileage, I can get an average of 30 mpg. It's a five speed so I enjoy driving it and for a 4 cylinder it has decent acceleration. I would recommend it to anyone as a first car or just one that's fun to drive around in.Jul 12, 2009

The car is only fun to drive if you have a manual, civics aren't exactly made for performance or anything else other than good gas mileage and a long lasting car. They're really easy and cheap to modify so I guess that's where it makes up for not having anything interesting/performance oriented on the car. Nothing special, but I love my little car.Jun 17, 2009

It was a DX...crank windows, manual locks....
Other than that, for all of you who ever saw my car, knew that I loved it!!! It also sucked going up hill with the A/C on!! 75,000 miles when I traded it in for my RSX in 2003. First Honda we owned which is crazy since my dad has worked for Honda for so long!! Even though it was black, the paint lasted as long as I had it, and all of you know, that car was always clean!!Jul 15, 2008

I like my car, it's adorable! But.... I want something that goes fast. The back tires can get a little squirley, but it gets good milage. About 30 or so to the gallon. I like driving with the windows and the sunroof down. My car even has an awesome custome sound system, so I play my music obnoxiously loud! Plus, I have an ipod adapter for it!Jul 02, 2008

I struggled w/ my cars -- American-made -- until I bought this very near Pre-Approved
37k mi used manual in 2002. It now has nearly 130k mi on it w/ a new clutch and
radiator being the only major costs besides the usual brakes and tires and fluid
replacements every 3k mi. I really love the reliability and dependability of this car. I'm
hooked on Hondas ( I would buy a Lexus if it weren't a Honda for me) due to the reliability
and dependability factors, ease of maintenance and the fact that they last and last, and
hold their value over time.Jun 09, 2008

Runs well and you can depend on it. The standard 1.6 liter, 106 hp motor may not be the fastest in town, but it has pep and it gets you there. Others may modify it with aftermarket parts, but the person who chooses to drive it "as is" will not be disappointed.Apr 09, 2008
