There are also some smattering of interior storage and comfort upgrades this year.

    Got the ex w/ side airbags for 500 below invoice plus my trade-in. Its a good car, and seems really solid. Im happy with my purchase.

  • Not quite a Acura CRX - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I wanted something a bit sportier, but this car was a great compromise between styling and affordability. It gets great gas millage (EPA ratings are right on target), handles well, and has enough power to get over hills without a fuss. Dont get in an accident with this vehicle though, because although it does a good job keeping you safe, the damage to the vehicle is going to be expensive. Many of the parts cannot be easily repaired and need to be replaced (bumpers, shock absorbers, etc.)

  • A Great Car!!! - 2002 Honda Civic

    This car is great. It looks great, drives well, and I have had absolutely zero problems with it. I get 30+ mpg, and I love the sunroof and keyless entry. Very roomy, with a huge trunk (the two door is just as big as the 4 door, and almost as big as the Accord). I live in my car, and couldnt be happier. A Great car!

    Great handling, feel, solid, comfortable and probably the lowest cost of ownership for any car on the planet (if including resale value)

  • Great Reliability, But dont expect... - 2002 Honda Civic

    I have a 2002 Honda Civic LX coupe. Havent had a problem with it, and i refill the gas tank every 380 to 420 miles combined city and highway. Although my car is stick, it isnt a great performer. It is quiet, and has nice interior materials which is what matters most to me.

    Well I had no problems since I got this car. *Knocks on Wood* This car get excellent mileage. Its looks are apealing. I cant stop looking at it. Everyone should go out and buy one of these cars. I highly recommend it.

    My choice came down to this car or the 2003 Toyota Corolla. Decision became easy because there are few Corollas on dealers lots. On the other hand, my local Honda dealer had the models and colors I wanted. They made me an offer I couldnt refuse. Overall, I am satisfied.

  • 2002 Honda Civic Problems - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought a Honda Civic in late 2002 after reading good reviews in Edmunds.com. I was totally shocked to find out only months later that the "new" car came with serious problems. 1. Unlike my Accord, the plastic in the a/c vent of the Civic "sweats" and results in the rear windshield fogging. 2. The "break shift" produces loud sounds often when one breaks. Apparently these are problems that Honda is aware of and working on. However, a consumer like myself feels shortchanged!

    since we bought this 2002 Civic we havent had good experience at all: 1. Fuel Drinker: 20-22 short distances and 30-31 highways. 2. Noisy: some noise local drive and can-not-stand-anymore noise on highways. 3. Terrible breaks: when step a little harder on the break it becomes really sudden break which scares me every time. 4. Glitch Transmission: when change from one speed level to another the transmission is not smooth at all (big glitch & noise). P.S. were very regret that we bought this not satisfying at all car (will NEVER buy Honda again...)
