  So far so good - 2002 Honda Civic
  By wayno007 - April 5 - 5:35 am

  It is noisy,and the interior could be upgraded. However I like driving it, get a lot of compliments on it, and havent had to make any repairs except oil change and two new tires. I added new stereo, alarm, remote start and tinted windows which adds nice extras. I plan on getting chrome exhaust, wider high performance tires and maybe stiffer suspension down the road. If you add what you want to this car and the reliability is there what more could you ask

  Tan LX - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Buttercup - March 21 - 12:42 pm

  Problems with suspension - wont stay aligned. Problems with computer that dealer cant diagnose... Car is rather underpowered, but gets great gas mileage. Problems with servicing, but this is dealer specific. Went to Honda consumer support with complaint and got no help - sided with dealer (computer problem issue).

  Great gas mileage - 2002 Honda Civic
  By manny - March 16 - 10:02 pm

  Its a great car on reliability and gas mileage. I was a little disapointed on the interior. It looks good, but there is a lot of plastic parts on the dash and door panels and after a while they get loose and rattle. It also needs more power, if you have more than two people in the car its really hard to get it going, especally on the freeway.

  Decent Car - 2002 Honda Civic
  By RHtremblay - March 7 - 5:32 pm

  I bought this car back in 02 Since then i have put about 102k miles on it. The car has been very reliable. However, the car is lacking in the performance department with only 126hp. The ride is also a little bumppy. Replaced the stock stereo system as soon as I bought it. Brakes lock up way to much and this car has ABS so i dont know the reason for that one. Car gets good gas mileage. Interior is breaking down a lot (faded, cracking, tears, etc.) I love the size of the back very roomy for a coupe. The moonroof is great on sunny days. Perfect car for roadtrips. Most reliable car ever!!!

  Great Daily Commute - 2002 Honda Civic
  By chadtm - February 1 - 2:00 am

  I got this car as a graduation present from high school to use in college. I drive it about 30 miles per day and couldnt ask for a better car. Its fun with manual and the gas milage is great. I like the pickup and wouldnt want another car.

  Hondas May Last Forever, But... - 2002 Honda Civic
  By HKI4EVR - January 6 - 6:24 pm

  I dont know what Honda was thinking when they designed the interior of the Honda Civic. They may run forever, but what is the point if you hate driving it? I have had to replace my stereo twice, my vents vibrate up and down as I drive, when the vents are set to come out at the floor only, I have to shut the rest of my vents to get all the air to come out only at the floor, and now when I push the button to turn on my rear defrost, my radio stations go fuzzy. Not only that, but what brilliant engineer thought that putting cupholders on the other side of the shifter would be a good idea? And what is the point of having an armrest that interferes with the drivers ability to shift?

  Good but not up to Honda standards - 2002 Honda Civic
  By jim4nier - December 13 - 11:26 pm

  Very good vehicle over all. We were disappointed in a few things and annoyed at a few others. Weve owned other Hondas before and this one isnt up to Honda standards.

  SurvivorOfTheCivic - 2002 Honda Civic
  By ISurvivedTheCivic - December 13 - 12:43 am

  My Civic had been pretty good form the most part. This is the 2nd Civic Ive owned after totalling my first in a rear-end collision. I still feel like I got a little less car for a little more money. I enjoy all the amenities that come standard on the EX model. The A/C is a freezer, heater is a sweat box, and it very manuverable. The 2 door model does not comfortably seat 4 at all. I am a college student and sometimes space is a need. The gas mileage is great. I feel like the quality of my first Civic, which was a 97, was must better than that of my current 02 model.

  review for a 2000 vs 2002 EX sedan - 2002 Honda Civic
  By John212 - December 7 - 10:00 am

  I am writing this review for a 2000 because I think the 2002 is way-worse. Honda modified the 2001/2002 model and cheapened the components (like replacing the double-wishbone suspension with cheap regulal one). So, if you want good deal, look for a low- mileage 2000 model. It is probably the most reliable Civic ever made.
