  Great lil car! but... got tires? - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Lessenjr - January 9 - 2:00 am

  Ok, so maybe its a little premature to write a review on my car already. I just purchase a new 2002 Civic Si about a week and a half ago.So far Ive been very pleased with my purchase. The car in Si form is quite eye catching.. especially my color (euro yellow). The interior doesnt bore me at all, especially the shifter position (which all my friends find quite exciting). The gas milease seems to be getting a little better now. The first tank sucked. Overall it is a very fun, compact, daily driver.

  its ok...i wish i got a spec v instead - 2002 Honda Civic
  By civic duty - January 2 - 10:16 pm

  So far the car has been without major problems. however, the minor ones are cumulative and annoying. First the driver side window got stuck. Replaced under warranty but now the panel control on the driver side comes loose when the drivers door gets closed with windows open. The sunroof rattles as well as the glove box. Stock tires are donuts!!!

  Loud ride - 2002 Honda Civic
  By lindsay - December 4 - 10:00 am

  When looking for an affordable, fun to drive car that gets great mileage, this is your car. Ive put 18000 miles on in 8 months commuting to work with no problems. Although I do like this LX, I find it clunky going through the gears and lacking the kind of power I enjoy off the line. There is alot of road noise and ticking sounds coming from behind the dash and God knows where else. Honda should pay more attention to making a tight car.

  Whats not to love? - 2002 Honda Civic
  By DarkVortex - September 20 - 2:00 am

  I love my Civic. It gets great mileage, looks nice and clean, and runs great. Steering is crisp, acceleration is adequate, but could use a little more power, and the inside is just wonderful. Considering the cars price, I feel I got a lot for the money, and that it will last a long time. Very pleased.

  Hondas are good.. - 2002 Honda Civic
  By hc_ca - September 14 - 10:00 am

  So far, Ive got 2000 miles on my black LX. I like it very much! It handles very well, is stable, safe, and accelerates just fine. Its very comfortable to drive and most accessories work flawlessly. The ac can take forever to cool a hot interior, but when the interior is cool, it works great in any weather. All the controls are also very easy to use and have a good feel. A few things on this car need a little improvement, but overall Im very satisfied. Defects from day 1: -off center steering wheel (fixed under warranty)

  Wheres the storage? - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Ken69 - May 6 - 10:00 am

  I was happy to have the Si back after a 7 year absence. Bought it almost sight unseen. Great performance. No shimmy in high winds and lots of power. No place to put anything, though. No coin box, no ashtray, power outlet doesnt take lighter. Seats cause acute bun-ache after long trips.

  Happy Driver! - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Honda Fan - February 14 - 10:00 am

  I have had my 4 door 5 speed for a short while. I enjoy it. I have driven quite a few 5 speed Hondas. Compared to the old 1.6 L Civics, this engine actually has decent torque between 1500RPM-2500RPM (even compared to a VTEC Del Sol). Good back seat spacing, big trunk. Its not easy to fill up all the space.

  The Civic from a Technical Point of View - 2002 Honda Civic
  By savou - February 2 - 1:56 am

  The 1.7L EX has plenty of low end power for its engine size. I find its suspension too soft. This is a problem in high speed slaloms when the car doesnt seem to want to follow the line you are asking it to. In turns the car will typically understeer but by letting go of the gas pedal you can easily convert it to a pleasant oversteer. The factory tires are among the worst (mine came with Firestone). The Honda spoiler is quite anoying. It makes the car rear end look bigger than it already is and blocks a rather large section of your rear view. The car is very very reliable and the engine is a jewel. You can drive it right up to the redline non stop and it will always work perfectly.
