Good transportation, not exciting - 2002 Honda Civic
By dmelgar - February 3 - 10:00 amNice car, but not as good as I expected. Safe, adequate transportation but lacking on the excitement scale and not built as well as Id expect. Quality, reliability and assembly as not very good so far, not what youd expect from a Honda.

visability - 2002 Honda Civic
By b b mihuta - January 24 - 10:00 amIm considering a trade in. I am 56" and have to sit on a pillow to see out the back and then the visability is less than optimum. The front is so lowriding that you have to park farther back from the curb so you dont scrape the front bumper. Also the front windshield posts seem to be placed in such a position that they can block out vehicles coming from the 2 and 10 oclock positions. I only have 6600 miles on the car and really think I got better performance from my 1990 4Dr Civic.

Good value - 2002 Honda Civic
By jjpcat - December 16 - 10:00 amunacceptable suspension, especially the rear one. Not so comfortable front seats. Too tall. Looks unbalanced. In term of value, few challengers could come close. But you give up quite a lot of comfort for this value.

Awesome Car!!! - 2002 Honda Civic
By Chris T. - December 10 - 2:00 amGot this car a week ago and it hauls!!! Considering that this car has a base RSX Integra engine in it for $16,000 (little bit more than what I paid for it) youre getting a lot of car for the money. The wheels are really nice, the seats are out of this world. Im really tall and can actually fit in this car with no serious discomfort. This car loves to rev high and go fast. Salesman let me take the car for 30 mile test drive and he let me race people in city traffic with it! Beat an old Integra GSR and a Jeep GC V-8 with peeling the tires out -but hey, I won them with a car worth so much less?

Very good everyday car - 2002 Honda Civic
By Grand Rapids driver - December 5 - 2:00 amI wanted a car to get me (and my family) to and from work and around town for the next ten years. Of the cars I researched, the Civic seemed best able to do that. I also found it nice to drive. When I got into the Civic and drove it, I was immediately impressed by its solid feel. It handled very well and the manual transmission shifted almost effortlessly. The interior is very roomy for a compact and the flat back floor makes the back seat seem even bigger. All in all, this was exactly what I was looking for.

It turned me! - 2002 Honda Civic
By Phoenix - December 5 - 2:00 amIve been a longtime diehard V8 lover. That being said I had it up to my eyeballs with replacing parts for my Firebird and finally broke down and bought a Honda for its reliability as a daily driver. To my amazement this is an incredibly fun to drive little car and its got enough power to play around on the freeways (Ive gotten it up to 135mph). In addition to that the handling is the best you could imagine on any car under $40K. I still take my TransAm to the track on the weekend, but the Si really changed my mind about I-4s.

Good car - 2002 Honda Civic
By KathyMD - November 29 - 10:00 amI love my civic. I am sad to have to trade it in, but this car just cant cut it in the snow, and I get a lot of snow where I live. But otherwise I have no complaints. It is reliable, considerably fast for a 127 hp, the stock stereo system is pretty good.

43mpg Road Trips - 2002 Honda Civic
By bigjj - November 10 - 10:00 amIve owned my 2001 Honda Civic EX Sedan for almost a year and never got to take it on any road trips until last weekend. I averaged over 39mpg for over 2,000 miles of driving, including two trips through the mountains and some city driving. This is amazing noting my lead foot and the engine is tuned to create as little emissions as possible. Another amazing thing is the tranny doesnt go around always searching for gears on inclines. Just leave the cruise on and it takes care of the rest. On a quality note. This car has been flawless like my older Hondas. Cant get any better quality for the money.

Loud noise, when water splases exhaust - 2002 Honda Civic
By Scottwm - November 4 - 10:00 amDoes anyone else have this problem with the 2002, Honda Civic EX, 4dr, 5 speed Man. When driving through puddles the water splashes on the exhaust and has a loud noise, the noise you would here if a car had no exhaust. As it dries, 30 seconds, it goes away. Honda knows of this issue and calls it a "charateristic of the car". I was told by the dealership, after they replaced a strut and the problem still was there. Today, Aug 5, I contacted Majestic Honda,W. Wariwick, RI. (I purchased the car from their Lincoln , RI dealership) and asked to speak with the the owner. I will receive a callback from the owner.

Extremely Poor Quality - 2002 Honda Civic
By Nohonda - October 22 - 2:00 amA rattle in the door was a bolt left in. Coolant drops below the min. mark when hot after 500 to 1000 miles (possible leak in the dash since we smell it) & their solution was to "overfill" it so I dont run out so quickly. It has failed to start several times for no reason. For 2 years they promise to set up a meeting with the factory rep. Other problems are missing welds, seat belts, body damages easily, the windows fog unless the A/ C, outside air and heat on,... and more. Honda has been tough to work with. Maybe I am upset since I had a 2001 HX that needed 2 transmissions in a year! I am selling the LX and buying something else.
