  By SDC R21 - December 4 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE THIS CAR, THE HANDLING THE SHIFTER, JSUT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS COMMENTED ON IT... ITS A NEW FEEL AND NEW LOOK. THE SEATS HOLD ME IN PLACE WHEN IM FLYING THROUGH THE TURNS. ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS THE TIRES, THEY CHIRP IN 2ND AND THE WHEELS NEED TO BE A BIT BIGGER. I DID HAVE ONE PROBLEM THE MOONROOF LEAKED.. HAD TO BRING IT BACK...BUT THEY DID THAT QUICK AND GOT IT BACK TO ME

  I am so Happy!! - 2003 Honda Civic
  By tfulton2 - December 4 - 10:00 am

  I havent had any problems with my car. I love the way it drives, the only thing I miss is having more cubby holes to put my stuff. The sound system is great. It would be nice to have more than one intermittent speed on the wipers.

  Very happy with the Honda - 2003 Honda Civic
  By bmondoman - December 1 - 7:39 pm

  Fun to drive with the stick shift. I drive 65 to 70 mph hwy & get 34 to 36mpg-70% hwy. Door lock froze & broke. Noisy bushings in front steering when parking-too expensive to replace. 1st set of tires wore away in 10 to 20 thousand miles. Loud cabin on the hwy. Plastic cover over dash gauges cracked twice. Car is good in the snow. Very reliable. Nice steering. Interior detail very nice. Trunk holds golf clubs and more. Quality detailing. No shoddy moldings. Nice map lights. Stereo sounds good w/good controls. Power to pass people on Hwy. Accelerates easily to enter freeway. This is my 4th Honda.

  I LOVE this car. I am 19 and a student, so low gas intake is a big plus, and I feel safe in this car at all times, in addition, its adorable! :)

  Great Car - 2003 Honda Civic
  By pvaultguy - November 24 - 10:58 am

  Great economical car. Great fuel economy and low cost of ownership. I have had no problems with this car. Very reliable. The ride is a little firm but it is the Civic not the Accord. Acceleration is decent. Parking is very easy. The interior is very nice. The back seat has decent room for a coupe. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for an economical and reliable car.

  Very reliable and cost effective car - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Paul - November 12 - 9:34 am

  I love this car. Since I purchased it I have spent a grand total of $30.00 on repairs. One of the sway bar links needed replacement. This car runs as smoothly as it did from the day I first drove it. Excellent mileage as well - 40 MPG on the hwy. My only issue is that the seating isnt very comfortable and after a long trip I have a bit of soreness.

  After 40,000 miles... - 2003 Honda Civic
  By tlanci - November 11 - 10:00 am

  After 40,000 miles, my Hybrid is still a solid, comfortable ride. Not a performance vehicle, but a good commuter car. I have been somewhat disappointed in mileage compared to the ads/EPA. On my 80 mile round-trip flat highway commute (70-80mph) the car averages 38mpg. Slowing down really makes a difference, at 55 mph, it gets closer to 52mpg. Im still having fun learning to tweak the mileage, and I am slowing down. So far, great reliability, no mechanical problems at all.

  Love my Honda! - 2003 Honda Civic
  By RMartinez717 - November 9 - 5:53 pm

  Well I had my 2003 Honda civic for about 4 or 5 months now and I have to say I am very glad I decided to go with a Honda for my first car. Not only is it dependable and of a high quality, its not overpriced and has great fuel economy so I could do what I love best and drive wherever I please without constant stops to the gas pump. I look forward to driving my car ever time its tons of fun and sporty! And Ive only had to do an oil change, new air filters and spark plugs since I got it cuz I dont know how the other owner took care of the car but so far seems he did ok.

  You can do better for the money - 2003 Honda Civic
  By JohnnyK - November 3 - 11:47 pm

  My 1987 Civic was a much better car: better MPG, rode smoother, was much quieter, had better ventilation through the dash and had more comfortable seats. This car is loud on the road (and Ive had two sets of tires - my Jeep was quieter!). I cant stand how this thing locks itself even after opening the trunk, and the seats are more sporty than comfy. The stereo is nice. We just bought a 1986 Toyota pickup that rides better and is quieter as well. Im trading this car in for a Camry or a Mercury Grand Marquis. Never again will I buy a Civic. Sure, its reliable, but so are most cars these days. My friends Accord, not much better. Sorry Honda.

  Best choice in segment - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Jeromey - November 3 - 7:48 pm

  The car has been extremely reliable. No maintenance required except oil, tires, brakes over 7 years. Handles well, agile car, fun to drive with 5 speed manual. Holds value very well, thus probably best choice in the segment.
