  Honda Civic 2003 - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Inrm - November 2 - 2:00 am

  I bought this car in 2004 with 32,000 miles. It has now 150,000 miles and still runs GREAT. Fuel economy is awesome. I drive a lot and Ive taken my car everywhere and weve never had a serious problem with it. Of course, we keep it well maintained. The most serious problem Ive had with it, was when I had to replace a part of the engine that cost almost $1,000 dollars. we also had to replace the radiator, but this is a very reliable car. I love it!

  Love it still - 2003 Honda Civic
  By civic man - August 9 - 10:40 pm

  I got my 03 civic in may of 03. My car now has 145,000 miles on it and the only thing I have done is change the tires, brakes, and batt. The power lock does not lock my driver door anymore but not to worried about that. I still get about 32 mpg in town and 40 on the road. I could not ask for a better first car, after 7 years I would not even think of trading it. Amazing car!

  93,000 miles and counting - 2003 Honda Civic
  By UncleTurbo - March 14 - 9:40 pm

  Bought my Civic new with the intention of keeping it until either it goes or I go whichever comes first. I was just short of 55 at the time and in very good health so I wanted a car with staying power, that was sporty, fun, and economical. So far, perfect choice. The Civic delivers super gas mpg, I get over 40 mpg on expressway trips and always over 30 mpg, and generally average 35 mpg. No repair issues one strut replaced under warranty ages ago, front brakes at 75K miles, and otherwise regular maint. Handles great, VTec motors hits with more power above 3,500 rpm, a budget sports car. It can take 4 people anywhere in comfort with their luggage. Just a practical and enjoyable car.

  No complaints here - 2003 Honda Civic
  By JF - February 28 - 12:19 pm

  Bought used in 11/2008 with 42k miles. In the first year I put 26k commuting to work 60 miles round trip and a couple of trips to the beach. This car has taken a beating the way I drive it and it has not let me down once. Needless to say, its dependable...thats why I bought it in the first place. For a small, 4cyl sedan, I couldnt be happier. No clicking, rattling or odd noises/smells at any time. All parts/side moldings still holding strong. Transmission always shifts smoothly. The abrupt downshift when braking is actually the"automatic brake assist" a good safety feature but can be annoying at times. Overall...I love my Civic.

  Great Car - 2003 Honda Civic
  By RhinoKing - December 15 - 10:01 pm

  This is the best car Ive owned. Honda continues to produce outstanding vehicles. So far I have only done regularly scheduled maintenance on this car. Its fun to drive and great on gas. I will definitely buy another Honda but it maybe a long long time before that happens since this car will probably last me a very long time.

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.
