Best small car ever owned - 2005 Honda Civic
By Robert Redeker - January 12 - 11:23 pmBought the car for the obvious reasons,Honda reputation and great gas mileage. I was a little hesitant because this was the first Japanese car I ever bought but I guess its hard to tell these days with parts of the car coming from everywhere including the u.s. and it being assembled in canada. This car is everything I hoped it would be and more. We get consistintly in the high 30s on mostly country back roads and hwys and on a recent mostly hwy trip we got 45 mpg. I do run synthetic oil and make sure the tires are properly inflated to optimize gas mileage. We have 26k on the car now and have had no problems whatsoever. We plan on trying to get 300k out of it and it looks good so far!

Great Buy - 2005 Honda Civic
By Jim Fawcett - January 1 - 8:38 amIve owned my Honda Civic VP for 2 1/2 years and have to say it is great on gas, comfortable (Im 275) and needs nothing...ever. I get around 450 miles before I fill up and it takes about 12.5 gallons each time, so gas is brilliant. The seats are wide enough for my back and shoulders when almost nothing this size seems to be. I think the car drives as good as the day I bought it and could easily do 200,000 miles. I bought it for $13,400 and its worth #10,500 2 1/2 years later? Unbelievable resale value. I just wish I bought the four door not the two door, but the manual is zippy not like the automatic.

Dependable/Fun Car - 2005 Honda Civic
By Amanda - December 13 - 3:26 amThe Honda Civic EX special edition 4door manual is a really fun car to drive. The interior of the vehicle is also extremely nice. I have only noticed a few minor things that I dont like. For example the paint on the front bumper is peeling but other than that problem its a great car. I cant wait to get another one.

Wouldnt buy another one .. ever - 2005 Honda Civic
By g mack - December 3 - 9:10 amThe drivers seat is very uncomfortable, they totally missed on the design and I am a normal size man.Trunk lid leaked from day one due to poor workmanship. The power window on the passegers side didnt work properly and I had to take it to the dealer twice. In general, just very poor construction of an automobile.

Wonderful car, but... - 2005 Honda Civic
By Durer - November 26 - 11:50 amThe Honda Civic EX Special Edition Coupe is a really terrific sporty little car, but its missing just one thing... oomph! I mean, it zips around just fine, vroom, vroom, and all that, but when you put your foot down, and I mean really put your foot down, it just doesnt respond like you want it to. I, personally, think a little sport coupe like this should throw you back in your seat and take off like a bat out of hell when you punch it, but the Civic just doesnt. Other than that, though, its a totally terrific vehicle, thumbs up and 4-stars all the way

Gas Saver - 2005 Honda Civic
By clecakes - November 25 - 2:36 pmGreat dependable car. I have gotten as high as 52.9 MPG. Driving on secondary flat roads at 45-55 MPG. I never got less that 43MPG and thats with the A/C going full blast. I am getting an average of 47MPG over the past 7,000 miles. I am 6-1" and I have plenty of head and leg room. I have no trouble keeping up with traffic at interstate speeds and the car will run along with ease at 80 MPH. Gas mileage suffers above 70MPH. Handles like a dream which makes me wonder why everyone isnt driving one. I drive it every day and with the price of gas at $3.20 per gallon this vehicle is a real money saver.

Gas Company Approval for Home Filling - 2005 Honda Civic
By fbaldwin - November 22 - 3:50 amThe quality of the US built CIVIC GX is excellent. The rear seats only two people and the trunk space is smaller because of the CNG tank. The fuel mileage is close to 31 mpg. Do not forget to get approval from The Gas Company before purchase if you plan to install the PHILL unit (home fueling) The selling dealer may not tell you about obtaining approval from the Southern California Gas Company. The PHILL can not be installed in all areas because the Natural Gas may not be approved for use as a motor fuel. It took 21 days for the Gas Company to approve the gas delivered to my home for use as a motor fuel!

Its OK - 2005 Honda Civic
By Beth - November 5 - 5:06 pmI bought this after my husband got his VP(aka cheap cheap package). I have a higher model but it is nothing great. Sunroof is noisy, rattles and squeaky all over. The fuel economy is awesome and for now this car will do but I prefer my Maxima anyday.

Awesome - 2005 Honda Civic
By STUD - November 4 - 12:36 pmThis car is fantastic. I bought a 2005 lx special edition 2 door coupe and I love it. Its quick, looks great, and with Hondas reliability you cant go wrong.
