  Wont Buy Honda next time - 1998 Honda Civic
  By MW2005 - March 11 - 12:30 pm

  First of all, I purchased the vehicle when its mileage was @ 21,000. Within the first year (and at the same "fix it" visit), I had to REPLACE the Exhaust Manifold (had a crack in it) and had the A/Trans. worked on. In 2002, I experienced probs w/the Electrical System. Ive purchased at least 4 car batteries since I bought the financial burden! Once again, my car hesitates/shutters, fails to start sometimes, AND appears to have a serious power drain somewhere. Last month I had the batterys charge checked (b/c my car had stalled at a stop sign!) and was told the battery was fine but that my Alternator needed to be looked at (AGAIN!). Also, I get TERRIBLE gas mileage - like 16 mpg.

  MORE THAN ONE HONDA - 1998 Honda Civic
  By 2ND HONDA - March 10 - 12:47 am

  This is my second Civic. The 1st was a great car...very reliable and great on gas. The second was is a 1998 ex. Vtec motor. If you get a Civic, it should be with a v-tec motor. Feels like a v6 on the highway. Fun to drive. Very sporty. Best deal for the money...and it’s a Honda.

  Cant Go Wrong... - 1998 Honda Civic
  By Angela - January 2 - 12:04 am

  I bought a 1994 Honda Civic in 1999, but sold it to upsize to a truck (2001 Toyota Prerunner). Recently, I sold the Prerunner due to its poor gas mileage. Im a college student and commuting back and forth to school required me to fill my tank about twice a week, totally emptying my wallet. I decided to buy another Civic because I had no complaints with the first one they are cute, reliable and efficent cars, and I will probably keep this car till it dies on me (or till I die, whichever comes first). I love my Civic!

  Reliable Car - 1998 Honda Civic
  By mattdoggydog - December 1 - 6:54 pm

  This was my first Honda purchase. I own a 98 Civic EX with Auto. I bought this one with 66k. Before this I drove old American-Made beater cars. I am now a Honda buyer for life. My civic is responsive but it certainly is not a sportscar. I wish I would have purchased the 5sp. The only maintenence I have done is a tune up at 70k, Catalytic converter/exhause at 85k, new tires and battery. Its now at 92K and it rides great, ready to go another 100K.

  Beware Civic Transmission Problems - 1998 Honda Civic
  By Concerned - October 31 - 1:00 am

  I bought this car used with 66k miles and was the 3rd owner. Make sure to have your tran. checked before buying a Civic. After 13k miles and 7 months, having trans. problems (struggles on hills, doesnt accelerate, jerks into gear). Have had only minor repairs/maintenance. Driving pattern includes a lot of highway, back roads, and stop and go traffic. Only complaints is the ride, you feel everything and it rides like a truck when not on the highway. Overall good car but may purchase new car with A LOT more power.

  Commuters Take On The 98 Civic - 1998 Honda Civic
  By Nahani - October 20 - 10:00 am

  I bought my first Honda, a 98 Civic LX, in January 2002. I knew that they were extremely reliable cars, but beyond that, I wasnt sure what owning one would be like. It had 28,000 miles on it when I purchased it, and it currently has 62,400. Ive only had a few minor problems with the car, includiong two recalls and a loose heatshield. The heatshield was probably from bouncing down the rough roads in Vermont.

  Best car I have ever owned - 1998 Honda Civic
  By Just some guy - September 30 - 3:09 pm

  I bought my 1998 Civic brand new for $13,300 and after almost 20 years and 194,000 miles she is still chugging along. I still drive this car everyday because every time I turn the key it starts. I am scared to buy a new car because I dont want to be let down. My 98 Civic is the most reliable thing in my life. It has out lasted lawn mowers, dishwashers, refrigerators... It is not flashy, it is not fast off the line, it does not have all the electronics that are in todays cars, but it is incredibly fuel efficient, practical, and perfectly simple. I love this car.
