    This car is a lot more different than the pprevious Si, but once u get used to the design it seems to be better then the rest of em, its quick but needs some more work done to it to release the power the engine got thats not being used, other than that its a great car.

  • Great Car!!! - 2002 Honda Civic

    This is a great car for a single person or a married couple with no kids or pets. Theres lots of room for two and four can fit comfortably, though head room in the back is a little tight for full sized adults. The Civic is a fun car to drive, with great handling and plenty of pep.

    leasing this 02 SI for 3yrs. have had nothing but Hondas in the past. Wasnt too crazy about the looks, but once I drove it. Sold! A great combination of handling, power, and interior asthetics in a fun to drive car. Considered the Protege 5 and felt more confident in the refinement and dependability of a Honda. Not crazy about the looks, definitely needs larger rims and tires, and maybe a body kit. High cowl doesnt help. Otherwise, a great car for the money!

  • Great lil car! but... got tires? - 2002 Honda Civic

    Ok, so maybe its a little premature to write a review on my car already. I just purchase a new 2002 Civic Si about a week and a half ago.So far Ive been very pleased with my purchase. The car in Si form is quite eye catching.. especially my color (euro yellow). The interior doesnt bore me at all, especially the shifter position (which all my friends find quite exciting). The gas milease seems to be getting a little better now. The first tank sucked. Overall it is a very fun, compact, daily driver.

  • A blast, and good x-country, too - 2002 Honda Civic

    Traded in my troublesome 2000 Acura TL on this hottie and loved it. Quick and fun, it brought back the spirit of my old original VW Rabbit. Seats are wonderful... drove it cross country (California to Maryland) in 2-1/2 days (with longest day 16 hours) and arrived rested, not tired. The car just clicked off the Interstate miles. Averaged 67 mph including fuel and food stops and got 26.34 mpg. Gripes: Syncros arent up to quick 1-2 shifts. Its easy to grind the gears. No problem running on 87 octane gas, but make sure its from a "quality" retailer... it pings mercilessly on cheap gas.

    So far the car has been without major problems. however, the minor ones are cumulative and annoying. First the driver side window got stuck. Replaced under warranty but now the panel control on the driver side comes loose when the drivers door gets closed with windows open. The sunroof rattles as well as the glove box. Stock tires are donuts!!!

    When looking for an affordable, fun to drive car that gets great mileage, this is your car. Ive put 18000 miles on in 8 months commuting to work with no problems. Although I do like this LX, I find it clunky going through the gears and lacking the kind of power I enjoy off the line. There is alot of road noise and ticking sounds coming from behind the dash and God knows where else. Honda should pay more attention to making a tight car.

    Dont believe the middling press on the Civic Si; its a great car. You can take my word for it. Im not a Honda freak like some people, though I do have great respect for the company. The Si might not be the fastest in its class, but its plenty quick and much more refined. It feels rock solid like a German car, which makes sense because it was engineered in Germany. I have had very few problems with my car, only minor rattles that seem to come and go with the weather. Styling is a take-it- or-leave-it proposition. I happen to like it.
