  • Great value - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    ±?|·¶?nomy car with lots of tasteful styling. Gas mileage advertised was dead-on accurate. Original equipment tires are not the greatest with road wandering a problem. The ride is a bit jittery (tires?). The car is reasonably quiet with a great stereo system. The console seems a bit cheap looking with lots of plastic. the ergonomics of the climate controls could be improved a bit (small & hard to see) needs a remote release for the trunk needs at least two more cup holders in the rear

  • great car so far - 2002 Honda Civic

    well, the main reason i bought this car is that my previous vehicle was a jeep wrangler and if you cant guess already.. miles per gallon.. from 12 mpg to 32-39.. i know the vehicles are very different but im just happy to be in this one instead now! the suspension is just right for my taste(semi aggresive driver) as is the conservative styling. i am 64" tell and sit fairly comfortably in my baby. no defects of any kind so far after 3500 miles. the headlights work very well and signals are highly visible.

    Good. No complaints. But less fun.

  • Civic LX Coupe - Not perfect - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    Overall, the Civic Coupe LX is a solid buy. I am dissapointed, however, with the build quality. While my Civic has been solid since I purchased it in May 02, noises, particularly a loud clicking, have developed. I have been to the dealer three times, and they have not been able to fix the problem. The Civic should definitely be on your shopping list, just dont automatically rely on the Honda brand.

  • Very good small car - 2002 Honda Civic

    Nice and safe family car. Modern and economic engine

  • Great car, but not what they used to be - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I used to own a 97 Honda Civic DX coupe, which is the stripped down model for those of you who arent too familiar with the line-up. I now own a 02 EX coupe which is their top of the line model. I must say, there have been some drastic improvements in those 5 yrs, as well as some disappointments. My 97 DX was supposed to be getting only 106 hp while the 02 EX is supposed to be getting 127. Still, the DX felt much quicker. The 02 also has a lot of little creaks and rattles on the interior. The last complaint is gas mileage. Honda claims 32 city and 38 on the hwy. I do a mixture of both and am lucky if I get 30.

    Comfortable daily commuter that can easily be used as a primary vehicle. Very dependable. Almost same size as the Accord for thousands less. Decent power, mileage and styling.

  • Dont expect too much - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car is pretty much what I expected. I bought it for a to commute with since it has a good track record, and is fuel effecient. But it is hard to get excited about driving it. Take a close look at toyota corrola before buying the civic.

  • Great Car!!! - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is a great car for a single person or a married couple with no kids or pets. Theres lots of room for two and four can fit comfortably, though head room in the back is a little tight for full sized adults. The Civic is a fun car to drive, with great handling and plenty of pep.

  • Better to drive than to look @ - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    leasing this 02 SI for 3yrs. have had nothing but Hondas in the past. Wasnt too crazy about the looks, but once I drove it. Sold! A great combination of handling, power, and interior asthetics in a fun to drive car. Considered the Protege 5 and felt more confident in the refinement and dependability of a Honda. Not crazy about the looks, definitely needs larger rims and tires, and maybe a body kit. High cowl doesnt help. Otherwise, a great car for the money!
