  This car was great! but boring as ever! - 2005 Honda Civic
  By jrx45x - July 18 - 4:30 pm

  I owned this car about a year ago, and i tell you now, this is the best car out there....for reliability....It got me from point A to point B everytime. I was at 80k miles and never had a check engine light or any problem at all, and i ragged on that little engine..It got great gas mileage. I filled up every other week and i was a teenager at the time so i was everywhere pedal to the floor. But let me tell you before you buy it...I got to the point where this car was so boring for me...so slow for me that i went and bought a Volkswagen GTI..ya it breaks alot but its way more worth it then my civic ever was because i have fun everytime i drive! But Honda really is the best Company ever.

  Good value but some serious drawbacks - 2005 Honda Civic
  By smore - December 12 - 4:24 am

  HEAT SUX (yes thermostat has been replaced with high temp). If you live in a cold climate avoid this car. This car is loud too, it picks up an unnecessary amount of road noise. Otherwise its a great car with great mileage and very reliable. The interior is very loud t

  excellent hybrid - 2005 Honda Civic
  By lalala1 - May 12 - 11:10 am

  My civic hybrid has been through a lot - long commutes, cross country trips, 2 high school drivers. Its still running well with over 170k miles & getting over 41mpg which is a lifesaver right now. As long as maintenance is kept up with it will last a long, long, long time! Im expecting to drive this car for several more years, I love it.

  Good, Fun - 2005 Honda Civic
  By good12312 - November 22 - 2:00 am

  Well at 90K miles now with only new front brake pads and an oxygen sensor. Car still looks and feels new, no rattles, noting falling off. With the manual I can get all the power I need. Gas mileage is 35 mpg city.

  Reliable But Poor Creature Comforts - 2005 Honda Civic
  By Spike710 - October 3 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my EX 5 years ago and am replacing it with an Altima. Like all Hondas, it is cheap to operate, averaged 30 MPG, car looks good. But my back gets beat up in this car, so trips that exceed 30 minutes are painful, you feel every bump in the road and the road noise is so loud, you have to speak up on the phone or with passengers.

  Nice Economical Car - 2005 Honda Civic
  By kurisu - April 23 - 4:58 pm

  I bought this car new in 2005. It has 75,000 miles. Only thing Ive done on it is replace engine mount ($250) oil change, and replace tires. Ive done Hondas recommended service at 30K and 50K. I have not changed the brakes yet or had any major repairs. The car gets excellent gas mileage. The car is very reliable and economical to drive. This car should not be thought of as a luxury car, but more as a practical car.

  Just What its supposed to be - 2005 Honda Civic
  By Flordia Car - January 13 - 10:16 am

  I bought this one owner car when it was two years old for only ten grand with only 14k miles on it. I wanted a work car that had nothing to break and was lamenting that base models no longer existed when I learned about the VP. I love rolling up and down the windows knowing that there are no motors to fail there or in the seats or door locks. Its an old school econo car with the most reliable combustible gas engine ever made under the hood & no headaches. I am certain to get 200-300k miles. Highly recommended

  Not impressed - 2005 Honda Civic
  By Sarah - January 5 - 11:08 am

  I used to own a 94 accord that never had any problems other than rust (289,000 miles), so when I bought my newish car I only looked at Hondas. Mistake. The cars quality is not very good. The cable for opening the gas tank broke recently so I have to open the gas tank door through the trunk $200 to fix). Car has a strange overheating problem that the dealer cannot diagnose, not good soundproofing in car, engine is loud, The warranty on these cars in crap, does not get that great of gas mileage, maybe 25-35. This car is boring to drive, especially in an automatic. However the car handles nicely in upstate NY snow and I feel safe in it. I think Honda is riding on their laurels...

  So Far So Good - 2005 Honda Civic
  By Lee - December 25 - 5:20 pm

  Ive had the car for six months and have driven over 10,000 miles. Although I have never been able to obtain the advertised 47/48 MPG, I do get at least 42 with the highest logging in at 45. It really does make a difference how you drive (how you accelerate/deccelerate, extra weight, using the a/c, etc...)I am very happy with this car. You dont need to understand the technology behind the car, just know that at $2.50 a gallon this car is a money saver.

  Wow, better than a WRX!!!! - 2005 Honda Civic
  By Dayton - August 15 - 2:03 pm

  The shifter is really nice and the feel of the shift engagements are superb, even for a cable shifter linkage. Almost as nice as my friends S2000, which has direct mechanical linkage. The handling is very neutral, and the OEM Michelin tires feel as grippy as the Kumhos Ecsta 712s on my previous WRX. At least, the handling is very similar if not better, than the mentioned WRX. To me, it feels like there is morepower at mid RPM than WOT.
