Owners also highlighted the good build quality, but some noted minor issues with back seat space and maintenance costs. Fuel economy is frequently mentioned as a strong point, with many reporting impressive miles per gallon."
Weekend Car. Not great for a student but GREAT reliability. I'll happily replace my transmission and rebuild the suspension again for this daily driver. D17 for the win reliability.
January 12, 2026Standard racing interior package makes this little Civic much more like a solid ride without paying extra for the interior upgrade. the i-vtec lives up it's name and roaring sound make you think that it's got more horse power then it describes. Overall performance rating? manufacturing setting won't satisfy a regular beating. have to upgrade most of the handling parts to get a great feel of the car and potentially unleash the real power of i-vtec.
June 27, 2008I love the sporty look of my car. It is extremely reliable and dependable. You can do so many modifications to it, and they are fairly cheap. It is very fun to drive and easy to maneuver since it is so small! The gas mileage is great, I just do oil changes every 5K or so. The interior style is a little bland.. looking to get some Gucci interior soon. Never needed any major (or minor for that matter) repairs. I could drive to California and back 50 times ifI wanted to. Love it!

August 10, 2009this car drives just as well as the day I bought it. It gets great gas mileage on the highway as well as in the city and is about as good as you're going to get with a Civic without moving into Civic Si's. Mild maintenance needed, handling could be better but overall it is a great car to own.
November 12, 2008Obviously it's a Civic, so it's not going to be anything spectacular on power, it's a peppy little car when I'm alone but when you add 3 or 4 passengers you definitely notice. It handles great as there is a lot of suspension work done to it, and the the tires are nice and grippy as well. It's an 05 and it still gets up to 40mpg so I'm more than happy with that! I think it looks great, it's definitely not an average Civic and it's all JDM :) It's a very reliable car and I've never really had any major issues with it. I've changed the clutch, but not because it went, just because km's were getting up there and I wanted a new clutch. Considering the fact that it's on low pro tires, and that it's lowered almost 2" it rides very well. Yes it's bumpy and rough but not nearly as bad as some lowered cars I've been in. The road noise is pretty bad if I'm honest, but Civic's have always struggled with that so I was already expecting it before I bought the car. And Other than that I'll just end with the fact that it's a great drivers car, as it's light, it handles very well and it's a blast to drive. I really do like it as a car
April 16, 2012It's a good strong car. Solid quality and amazing suspension set up. It could be a little faster but it has a low cost of owner ship. It's a very fun car to drive and it's a blast to throw it around corners.
June 26, 2009I love this car! Its pretty speedy for a 4 cylinder, braking and handling are great. Build quality is pretty good though the paint on the 6 cd changer rubs off easy =/ This car is fun to drive and is great on gas. Gets about 32-41 mpg and is pretty low on maintenance.
July 31, 200838MPG - this car has been great on saving gas when I am not driving my SUV. Highly recommend! White with tan interior - love the color combo. Came with 100,000 mi bumper to bumper. this car will run for 300,000 plus!
September 10, 2012Of course there are different Civics, and this 2005 is the top of the line. With its sleek body style, aggressive performance, and outstanding gas mileage, you cannot find a better traveling car. The Civics are truly the wisest economic choice anyone will ever make.
January 2, 2012My fave car, great on acceleration, braking and handling, no problems with this car, sporty looking and good to drive, cost on petrol was fairly economical for a 1.6 and the insurance was good on it to because it was an type s and not a type R
