  • A Superior Car - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is my first car. Hands down, no contest, this is the best economy car you can get out there. It saves you money with the great gas mileage and maintenance costs. Plus theres the great resale value. The build quality is great. I have the blue ex couple and am very happy with my purchase. Have had the car exactly a year now. Just lacks that all out power, but it does have enough though.

    Good. No complaints. But less fun.

  • Civic LX Coupe - Not perfect - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    Overall, the Civic Coupe LX is a solid buy. I am dissapointed, however, with the build quality. While my Civic has been solid since I purchased it in May 02, noises, particularly a loud clicking, have developed. I have been to the dealer three times, and they have not been able to fix the problem. The Civic should definitely be on your shopping list, just dont automatically rely on the Honda brand.

  • Very good small car - 2002 Honda Civic

    Nice and safe family car. Modern and economic engine

  • Si, Honda Si - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    Purchased after test driving rsx base, protege5 and matrix. far and away above last two; rsx appearance more appealing but interior too plastic and austere (also availability limited and dealers wouldnt.) Made Honda an offer I couldnt refuse (17,800 with tint, mats, mudgards)after pointing out that none of their stock had sold in over a month. Love the car; looks grow on you and it really moves. Not sure what the complaints are about the new suspension; corners and handles as well as any of the other 6 Hondas I have owned.

  • GOOD VALUE - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I purchased my 2002 civic ex with auto trans in december of last year. This is a great car for the price. I previous owned a 1993 ex. I am very happy and impressed by the improvements in the civic. The ac is very good for a car this size, and almost everything else from noise to ride quality is significantly improved. Honda did a good job with this one.

  • Euro Yellow - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I have had this car for nearly 2 years and loved every minute of it. Drives great, everyone everywhere has to talk to me about the car and the color. Could use a little more storage and horse power. The shifter is the best, easly goes into gears and flys down the road.

  • Great car, but not what they used to be - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    I used to own a 97 Honda Civic DX coupe, which is the stripped down model for those of you who arent too familiar with the line-up. I now own a 02 EX coupe which is their top of the line model. I must say, there have been some drastic improvements in those 5 yrs, as well as some disappointments. My 97 DX was supposed to be getting only 106 hp while the 02 EX is supposed to be getting 127. Still, the DX felt much quicker. The 02 also has a lot of little creaks and rattles on the interior. The last complaint is gas mileage. Honda claims 32 city and 38 on the hwy. I do a mixture of both and am lucky if I get 30.

  • Accord Jr. - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    Comfortable daily commuter that can easily be used as a primary vehicle. Very dependable. Almost same size as the Accord for thousands less. Decent power, mileage and styling.

  • Dont expect too much - 2002 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car is pretty much what I expected. I bought it for a to commute with since it has a good track record, and is fuel effecient. But it is hard to get excited about driving it. Take a close look at toyota corrola before buying the civic.
