    I have only owned this car for a couple of weeks but have already put 1500 miles on it. I am a large man and yet am very comfortable in it. Easy to get into and out of. I am surprised by the exceleration. It is better than I expected. Runs equally well in the city and on the highway. MPG do drop above 70 but that was to be expected. They are still far better than my prior car. I have read several comments for the need of a sunroof. That would hinder the airflow. I am glad it does not have one. That way I wont use it.

  • Saving the planet with action, not words - 2003 Honda Civic

    When the Stang got wrecked, I decided to get a hybrid because its the responsible thing to do. Of the hybrids available, The styling on the Civic was best--it looked "normal". I cant be happier. Car had 1 mile on it & now has 1050 miles. I drive in suburban areas in Orlando and am achieving about 43- 47mph. Didnt get this the first couple of hundred miles (probably all the demo rides I gave friends), but do now, & lately its been even better. This is a comfortable car and very fun to drive. The dynamic gauges make me very attune to "bad" driving habits. This is a great hybrid example for other car companies to follow. HELLO FORD? HELLO GM?

    The car is fantastic - everything I hoped for. Its not a performance car, but you knew that. Great MPG, very comfortable in the front seat.

  • My two cents - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is my first Japanese car and my first manual shift car. I bought it used (31000 miles) from a private party because I was looking for a used 2-door hatch-back gas saver with low mileage and light color (very specific am I?). GTI and Civic Si were my only options. GTI lost out in fuel economy (heavier car) and was mostly sold by dealers. I got lucky to find this babe. 8 months later I can say that I made a great choice! The reasons: 1. fuel economy (not at Prius level but kind enough to my wallet) 2. you dont see many of them on the road, unlike the Civic 4-door sedan 3. smooth and fun to drive 4. hatch-back (why dont they make hatchback anymore?)

    Great reliable car that handles the commute very well. Gas milage was a big reason I bought it and it has lived up to my expectations. The 5-speed is fun to drive with short tight shifts.

  • Cant find anything wrong with it - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    I just love my car. All opinions are subjective according to the driver. So for my needs this car is perfect in every way. Enough power for my driving needs, very comfortable-smooth ride for a car of its size,quiet and roomy-very attractive looking. What can I say - and its very economical and the price was right. Whats not to like?

  • Economy Meets Sporty - 2003 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought the Civic EX, because I wanted a car that would be freindly to my wallet, but still fun. When you upgrade to the EX you loose some in city gas milage, but I still average 330 a tank, and thats all city driving. The upgrades are what make the EX so cool. A 1.7L V-tech engine Delivers more than enough power, and you also get alloy rims, power everything, moon roof, tilt steering, and premium sound. You feel like you have a sports car instead of an economy car.
