Nice car with a nice price. - 2002 Honda Civic
By Patrick C - December 1 - 10:00 amI just got this car about two weeks ago, and I love it ever since I drove out from the dealerships parking lot. The transmission look weird at first, but once you start changing gears, itll became second nature to you. And the seat, its just the best seat I have ever sat in! (Under $20K) It got really good support to your back and torso, and the steering wheel, its give you the feeling that you are driving an S2000 (no kidding!) To sum it up, the SI might not be the fastest car youve ever drove, but for a car thats give you so much fun (and standard equipments) well under $20K, who really care ;-)

I love my car!!! - 2002 Honda Civic
By nicolec - December 1 - 10:00 amThis is a great car. After spending 3 years driving a Hyundai Accent, this car blows that one right out of the water. The engine while is not of the same caliber of the Mustangs of the world, it has the "spunk" and pickup that I never saw in my Hyundai. I just love this car!

Honda is definitely overrated - 2002 Honda Civic
By Brendan - November 28 - 12:05 pmI bought this car used from an elderly woman in Conneticut. She had replaced the rack & pinion before I had picked it up and she had a problem with the gas door not opening once closed. Instead of fixing this I would simply latch it from the trunk behind the carpet to keep it sealed while driving, its tedious but saves me a fortune than going to dealer to have it taken care of. I originally bought it with 132000 miles and got an amazing deal at $1100 but then it had frozen calipers so replaced both by myself for $200 in parts and three hours in a driveway. After that I resurfaced the drums and replaced the shoes and the front brake pads, the rotors are still original and holding up fine. The car seems incapable of holding any speed over 65 without shimmying back and forth and yet it isnt the tie rods (theyre brand new) alignment was also just done along with two matching new tires, so the problem is still unsolved. I great great gas mileage however since I commute 102 miles a day round trip and I average 31-34 mpg not bad for an automatic. Even being the EX model she seems very basic for features and nothing special, the special edition wheels bent immediately upon arrival to upstate New York since the roads are unforgiving so she has four newer steel wheels on her. Just learned she needs a new catalytic converter ($300) new windshield ($250) new bushings and control arms front and back ($500) and new front struts ($200) since I do enjoy the reliability I guess I will repair her but next tax season going to go out and buy either a GMC or a Toyota since believe it or not GMCs have been more reliable than the civic with minimal repairs, the repairs are cheap for Honda I guess thats a benefit? But seem to need more in frequency and just dont enjoy it. Good basic commuter car, its not a race car guys, sick of seeing them with loud exhausts they arent meant for street racing, 127 hp is not substantial enough except if youre racing a prius even then its almost anyones race haha.

Great car... - 2002 Honda Civic
By Dman7 - September 9 - 2:00 amAwesome car for the money. I have been plagued with interior rattles and creaks since I purchased the car. After about 5 times to the dealership, they finally fixed it and called it "pretty widespread". Disappointing, but I still love it.

Near Best of the Best - 2002 Honda Civic
By Paul - August 31 - 4:49 pmI have owned 3 Hondas before this one, and this one tops them all. I bought this EX used and it has not had one single engine problem in 1 year. I am 511 and it fits me like glove in front and back. Besides the manual clutch jamming very rarely, its a smooth ride. It is slightly loud on the road, but you learn to ignore it because it can keep up with any car on the road. On a trip to LA I drove 70 mph and got 33.33 MPG over 410 miles. When I drive slower I get about 35 mpg. This is a great reliable car! My next car will be a NEW civic whenever that day comes. :)

NO MORE SUVS - 2002 Honda Civic
By MYMOTHER!!! - August 20 - 2:00 ami have owned trucks and SUVs my whole life. This is the first car i have bought. I love it. It has a great power band and shifts real easy. I love the styling. The interior is awesome. Im 63" and I fit well. I love the fact that it comes with almost everything. Im just starting to commute far and the mileage seems to be getting better with each tank. My girlfriend did not like it at first glance. She has a 209HP Dodge Intrepid. After she drove it once, she wants to trade. By the way, I can take the Dodge off the line and definately through corners. Do not pay full price for this. You can get one for under $16000.
