  great value - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Jeem - October 21 - 6:00 pm

  Great car, good on gas, needed struts after only 40000 mi. Had brake shake in the front and grinding in the rear. Three year/36000 warranty isnt very good.

  I am well pleased - 2003 Honda Civic
  By DavidR - October 21 - 2:00 am

  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.

  Excellent commuter car! - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Edmunster - October 18 - 2:00 pm

  I own/have owned various cars and this is the best commuter car in my experience. Very nice, comfy and easy ride for an economy car. The EX has great head room and the seats are adequate - typical in Hondas. The ergonomic controls are excellent. And you cant beat the gas mileage.

  Cant beat a Honda - 2003 Honda Civic
  By chuck - October 17 - 10:58 am

  Never had a problem with the car. Gas mileage is great still get 29 on the highway. Never had it in for any work. I drive it a 100 miles a day and its just as fun to drive now as it was when I first bought it. Ill buy Hondas from now on.

  Great Car - but a worse car than pre 01 - 2003 Honda Civic
  By gchike - October 15 - 10:00 am

  Having owned a 1999 Honda Civic, Im frustated by two things that are extreme pit-peeves of my new 2002 Civic. One, the material SUCKS! It acts like a lint brush, and just as hard to clean. Change the material honda. Second, get rid of the 140MPH Speedodometer!!! That kind of sports- oriented guage belongs in a real sports car e.g. SIs. My daughter is trying to learn to drive, and its difficult for her to tell where the 5mph increments are. Lastly, the new 2002 Civics suspension is too harsh. My teeth chatter everytime I hit a small bump in the road.

  hi tech cost for a low price car - 2003 Honda Civic
  By msongs - October 15 - 10:00 am

  lots of loose pieces and parts that vibrate and rattle (poor construction). xtremely uncomfy seat that a $4 pillow wouldnt fix. all the cheaper regular civics have better seats (we have found out too late). My right leg/knee gets very sore after 30 miles. we selling this car. Honda answered all our questions with "I dont know" and no offer to find out.

  Saving the planet with action, not words - 2003 Honda Civic
  By savetheenvironment - October 9 - 10:00 am

  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?

  ReadyToMoveUp - 2003 Honda Civic
  By SJY - October 9 - 10:00 am

  There is no true power in this car unless you add your own, and thus void the warranty. I have had this car for over a year, with no technical problems. The panels are thin and you can expect many dings and paint scratches. There are many little irritants i have with this car, such as the ugliest interior fabric, the air conditioner stinks and blows warm air when on medium-high, the seats will easily "click" out of place. I am rumbling about the little things but swear by the Honda name. I want to move up to a Honda Accord EX in the very near future, Im just plain bored with the Civic. I just hope i dont put the money into something just like the Civic.

  By BT - October 3 - 11:19 am

  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.
