  • Best bang for the buck. - 2003 Honda Civic

    Ive had my 2003 Civic LX sedan for a year now and I love it! Its fairly peppy for a 4 cylinder car but I wish it had more power (my weekend car is a Firebird so Im kind of spoiled by its power). The Civic is reliable and fun to drive. The seats are comfortable and the fuel economy is excellent. I usually get 34-36 mpg with my mostly highway driving. My all time best was 41 mpg for a 230 mile highway trip.

  • What you expect from a Honda - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    Overall a great car. The Fit and finish is up to par and the overall drive ability is great. The thing I dont like are, the engine should be stronger, it would be nice to have a vtec standard on all trim levels. The seating position is a little high and can make tall drivers (me) feel a little awkward. And some thing like keyless entry and ABS would be nice without having to get the top of the line.

    I am so in live with my Honda. It is such a smooth drive, and it handles really well. I love the displays and the gas mileage. I love how the driver controls the locks and windows. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking for a reasonably priced, reliable, safe and fun car

  • Tickled - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    After MUCH research, I bought a 2003 Civic Si a few weeks ago and couldnt be more tickled. "Pearl" seems to read my mind. I can only liken driving this car to riding a good horse -- we seem to read each other and become one. I havent gotten used to the funky exterior styling (at 39, Im a bit older than most purchasers of this vehicle) but it still gets plenty of looks and the inside makes me feel like Im in an expensive sports car. Im getting in the low 20s for mpg, but thats with my foot in it -- a lot. Handles like a dream. I like that there arent a zillion of them on the road. This is my third Civic. Guess Im a lifer. Two thumbs up, Honda.

  • 2003 EX Civic Sedan w/ side airbags - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought my new Honda about a month ago and am just loving it. I was debating between the Corolla and the Civic, and almost went with the corolla until I researched this website. I had thought the corolla would be cheaper but it wasnt. Plus, the civics features were much better...the one thing that sold me was the fact that the civics interior was way more roomy and comfortable for me and my passengers.
