  • Very good economical car. - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I have put over 10000 miles on this car now and I love it. It sure isnt a sports car but I cant complain about getting ~34-35 mpg...in the summer with my a/c cranking. I have to admit that the air conditioning system is a little weak but it is pretty decent for the size car. After school I plan on upgrading to a bigger car but this is good for now.

  • Im a believer - 2002 Honda Civic

    Having driven a Ford Mustang for the past 2-3 years I really wasnt ready to downgrade. When I bought my Civic I thought it was just the sensible thing to do. Now Im wondering why I didnt do it long ago. I love driving it and I love the way the interior is organized. Its a completely enjoyable experience to drive it everyday and, as it turns out, a total UPGRADE!!! Did I mention that I went from 19mpg to 36mpg?

  • Have Yet to be Disappointed!!! - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I have had my 02 Civic EX Coupe for a week short of a year and love it more as time passes! The seats are very accomodating (Im 510"/255lbs), interior is designed very egronomically, pretty peppy, nice drivetrain, excellent MPG (I average 31 MPG combined, right on par with the 31/38 claim). It has stood up very well for the mileage I put on it so far! I went with Eternal Blue w/Moonroof Visor, 15-Spoke Honda Wheels, Rear Wing Spoiler, Fenderwell Trim and Mudguards for looks :-)

  • Basic economic "sport" coupe - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car is great for everyday driving. It gets great gas milage and is even a little fun to drive. It is a very reliable car and is put together very well. Interior design could use a little help as far as functionability. The radio/CD player is mounted far too high and angled upward. This is bad for anyone under 6 4" tall. On sunny days you cant even read the display without leaning forward and craning your head up and looking down on it. This is of course not good when driving down the road. I knocked the rating on Interior Design hard for this because in this day and age, the stereo is a highly used item in everyones vehicle.

  • An excellent choice! - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    My Civic has been a great choice among cars so far. I am a working, college student driving an average of 20,000 to 25,000 miles a year. I average 29-32 miles per gallon every tank. Its fun to drive, but it could use more than 127 horsepower. It currently has 21000 miles on it; I hear it should last until 210,000 miles... well see.

  • Good overall but quality lags - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I found a 2002 EX - that was traded-in with virtually no miles on it. I like it very much - I had a Civic Hatchback for nearly 10 years with virtually no problems and was so inexpensive to run. I do like this car it suits my needs is larger than the Hatchback I had. I test drove a 2003 - hated the new dials and found the engine to be noisey. So far with the 02, I have few complaints. I hope to have it for another 10yrs - unless I can find a good RollsRoyce cheap!

  • Dont buy without looking around - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is my sixth honda I have loved them all except this one.The build quality is horrible the paint is thin . I have the silver it looks as if every part was painted at a different time.This car replaces a stolen Integra gsr.So I needed a car fast and ran to honda like Ive allways done. Next time I will shop around.

  • I wouldnt take my decision back - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I love this car. I couldnt decide between the Honda, the Corolla, a Saturn, or a VW, but this was the best value and I love it.

  • love my 02 civic - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I fell inlove with this car. Everything is working great. Reliable ,love the overall quality. Eye catching,I will never drive any other car except honda(s). I have a 5sp honda and Im really having fun driving it(smooth shifting), ABS works excellent. I like the exterior and interior design of this car(very roomy), but I prefer 99 and 00 when it comes to exterior.

  • honda civic 02 - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I love this car, no complaints at all. This car is great. But my only concern is the exterior design,02 is not really bad at all, but would rather prefer 00(s) exterior design. I also have a 00 EX coupe and I love the exterior. Would recommend it to every body who likes value and reliability.
