  • awesome little car - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought my 98 civic in 2000 and have never had a problem with it. I commuted over 100 miles on most days to go from home to college to work and then back home. Never one problem. It got great gas milage, a big plus for me. It even did good in the snow, especially with studded snow tires. Even though my car has nearly 100K on it, its still going strong. My family buys only Hondas and have never had problems with any of them.

  • Excellent car! - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Ive had my Honda for 7 years, and it has been the most reliable car I could ask for. Ive gotten in 2 significant car accidents, and after getting the body repaired, it still runs great. Rattles a little bit now, but thats expected for how old it is. GREAT gas mileage. Have had to repair absolutely NOTHING, and it now has 150k miles. Very, very reliable. Would recommend to anyone.

    Bought this little jewel from a friend. His mom bought it brand new in 1998, then gave the car to him. He drove it a few years then decided to get rid of it when it started needing repairs. Realizing that routine maintenance and some TLC would get it in good running condition, I asked how much he would take for it. I about passed out when he said $400! Sold! I put new tires, front rotors, rear trailing arm bushings and struts, changed all fluids, filters, thermostat, and spark plugs. I had to do NO mechanical work. Engine runs perfect. A/C blows cold. What a well engineered car. The interior is in great shape as far as dash, instrumentation, and seats. But the headliner is gone. All I need to do now is have it repainted and it will look as good as it runs.

  • Best economy car - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    I leased this car in 1998 and bought it out in 2002. I have never had it in the shop for a major repair. I have been able to do all routine work myself and Ive found it to be an easy vehicle to work on. I have 243000 miles (391071 kms) and its still going strong. My goal is 310,000 miles (500,000) kms.

  • So great, someone else took it from me! - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    I had this car since it was brand new. I drove it myself for +6 years and I had ZERO problems with it, in its 10th year it ran better then most cars that are less than 5 years old. The one negative - people kept trying to break into it (I never kept anything in my car) and finally, dec 08 someone successfully stole it and was written off. This problem is typical of older Hondas. This car was great but its a hot car for theft (and is apparently really easy to steal) and this is what makes me hesitant to return to a Honda since dealing with getting windows fixed etc. from thieves turns into a big pain. :(

    I got this car when it had 125K miles and i have had for 3 yrs. Now it has 195,000 and still going strong. The only major breakdown i had was with the clutch but other than that its a good car. I intend to drive it until it has 400K

  • Amazing little car - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    I bought my Civic new in 1998 and kept it for nearly 11 years. In that time I had to make only two unscheduled repairs: first to replace the muffler and then the power window regulator. Overall its been a great car - reliable, fuel efficient, and pretty fun to drive, especially with the manual transmission.
