  As reliable as they come - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Paul - July 12 - 12:26 am

  Have owned my Civic for over 3 years. Never had a single problem with it. I was rear ended a couple times for minor damages. The rear bumper is sturdy and does its job well. Gas mileage is good averaging about 28 mpg. Car is extremely responsive to weight change, you will definitely feel a change in how the car handles with extra weight on-board. Sound system is slightly above average.

  Green, less green($) and just a cool car - 2003 Honda Civic
  By MattNga - July 10 - 10:00 am

  Ive had my Civic Hybrid CVT for 3 months now and have had no problems, lots of questions from others and now I dont think as much about my new found driving habits. The car makes you want to drive better (and slower too) so you can improve your mileage.

  Just what Ive been waiting for - 2003 Honda Civic
  By jfish - July 2 - 10:00 am

  This car gets great gas mileage for being a 4 seater. And it still drives as you expect a civic to drive. So far, Im very happy with it.

  Very happy - 2003 Honda Civic
  By drew - June 27 - 4:43 pm

  This car looks great inside and out especially the lighted dash. It is very reliable and gets good gas mileage. My first tanks of gas have given me 36,32,29,35 and 36 mpg with the last two being mostly highway during the summer. The most important thing about this car is the peace of mind it gives me knowing Honda’s reputation for quality. But, this car is not fun to drive or comfortable (although I’m 62" and fit fine) and is definitely underpowered. The car is also really loud. I still recommend this car though.

  My hot Civic. - 2003 Honda Civic
  By My smooth ride! - June 12 - 6:49 am

  My Civic is one hot little ride. The engine is creamy smooth, 5 speed shifts the best of any economy car, Gas mileage is the best without it being a hybrid. Very comfortable seats. Great driving position. Nicely loaded and excellent build quality. Not the typical econo car cheap parts. This is my second Civic, the first was a 95 and it was very dependable and long running. You wont believe the excellent mileage. Quality, dependable, and long running.

  Civic HX 5 speed/2003 - 2003 Honda Civic
  By knarf - June 8 - 10:00 am

  Very poor engine performance. Primarily in 4th and 5th gear get a degree of engine hesitation, stumble and at times surge. Difficult to do maintain 60-65 on highway in top gear because of the total lack of throttle response. Have to depress throttle 1/2 way to floor before I hear engine tone change and feel any acceleration. Am getting 37-39 mpg, well below rated 44mpg on hiway where most of my commute is. Would appreciate any response or comment on this issue

  By plasticized.cohort - May 18 - 12:46 pm

  I bought this car in 03 after my 01 civic was totalled. Ive loved it dearly and Ill be passing it down to my baby sister even with 60K miles on it. I have NEVER had any work done to it. Its cute and sporty with the optional spoiler.

  Tonys HCH 5speed - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Tony Higgins - May 14 - 8:01 pm

  Bought this car to save money in anticipation of rising gas prices. It was purchased for commuting but we drive it on trips too. I have logged every fill-up and calculate a lifetime average of 46 MPG. Mileage is cyclic with weather here in western NY. In winter get as low as 38 MPG. Summer as high as 53 MPG. At 68000 miles I estimate a savings of $1700 over a car with average of 30 MPG. Trade-in value is $2800 greater than 2003 Civic LX. Have had no maintenance issues. On second set of tires and still original brakes. I enjoy owning this car and will keep it until it rusts in half. I will buy another alternate energy vehicle at the next opportunity.
