  • My Ideal Car - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    Hondas are a "family tradition". Over the last 20 years we have owned a dozen Hondas--Accords, Civics and Preludes, most purchased new. Why? Because Hondas are the most reliable vehicles with superior features, style, safety ratings and great mileage, too. My children grew up knowing the quality of the vehicles and chose to purchase their own after finishing school I currently own the 2005 EX 4-door Special Edition and this will quite likely be THE car for me. It is comfortable to drive, has a bit of a sporty look and a very superior sound system. As a "Baby Boomer" getting close to retirement, it is important to have a car that is reliable. And there is no choice better than a Honda.

  • Excellent - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    I drove this car for three years before I traded for a Honda Civic 2008. Worst decision I ever made. I wish I have my car back. The Civic 2005 is an excellent car, I never had a problem with it.

  • Really love this car! - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    Had a huge van before. This car is so easy to drive, park & most of all see out of! Love seeing my speed in big letters! Also, cant miss the gas guage. The gas lasts really long too! It is beautiful, inside & out. Totally happy with it all!

    I bought this Honda new because I had an 89 that ran like a champ! The car gets great gas mileage and I only use it for commuting to work. I have 60K miles on it and the manual transmission is screaming! Dealer says new trans. It sounds like a bearing inside the trans. Honda will not do anything about it. They gave me the run around and told me it is my fault. I have a 1966 Ford Bronco with the original manual transmission, never rebuilt! I wont buy another Honda.

  • I love my honda - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    Although I have only had my honda for a few days now, I can already tell that it is going to be a great car. I love the way it rides and the look of the honda civic. It gets great gas mileage and it is fun to drive.

  • Not Bad, Not Bad at All - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    I purchased my 2005 Civic Hybrid used, with just over 5700 miles on it. The vehicle has surprised me with its get up and go, good acceleration. I was worried it would be sluggish, but I am happy to say I was mistaken. Very comfy interior, great sound on the stereo system, and the AC will ice you down (living in Texas, this is a good thing). I like the little pseudo-fin on the back, adds a sporty little touch. Though a small car, it feels solidly put together and handles admirably. Of course, most importantly the gas mileage is sensational, and this was the main reason I got this car. I have not been disappointed, and I wouldnt expect anything less coming from Honda. Recommended!

  • HX is great and its not a hybrid - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is a great little car so far. I just bought new for the first time in 15 years. I had been driving a 96 Olds Ciera with the V-6. The HX has more power and is heck of lot more fun than the Olds. I got it for fuel economy. I cant stand what gas is costing but I didnt want to spend what a hybrid costs. (Were cheap in my family.) Anyway, love the little thing; I wish I couldve gotten green but white will do. Its the 5 speed manual which is fun after the "old lady" Olds. Its also a heck of lot easier to drive than my last new vehicle which was a 90 Toyota Pickup with 4 speed and 4 cylinders. Love this car so far. I highly recommend it.

  • Love my Civic! - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    We bought our car new almost 4 years ago and we love the vehicle. Good gas mileage, very reliable (such a pleasure after the horror we previously drove), good looks, no rust, interior is larger than it appears from the outside. My only gripe is that the top of the foot space for the front passenger is very low and this can be uncomfortable, especially if youre a woman wearing higher heels. Apart from that, nothing but praise for the Civic.

  • Great Car - 2005 Honda Civic
    By -

    I recently acquired the Honda Civic Hybrid. I purchased this car due to the price of Gas and the inefficency of both of my other cars. I have a Saturn Vue and a Pontiac Firebird. Neither of which even get half of the mileage that I get on the Hybrid. I also test drove the Honda Accord Hybrid but couldnt justify the additonal cost and it was not more efficient than my other cars.
