Overview & Reviews

Since its launch in 1973, the Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars sold in America. Its success can be attributed in large part to its consistently high level of quality inside and out and its long-standing reputation for reliability and low running costs. Impressive fuel economy and engaging performance have also played a role in making the Civic a top choice for many Americans.

The competition has largely caught up with Honda, though, and there are now many excellent small cars vying for your attention. Still, we continue to recommend the Civic due to its ergonomic interior layout, wide range of models and high resale value. For small-car shoppers in search of a solid used vehicle, the Honda Civic is certainly a smart choice, as its long production run and many variants make it easy to find what you want.

  Good Car - 2004 Honda Civic
  By Maurice - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I am fairly pleased with this vehicle. Although this car started with averaging around 40-44 mile per gallon, after 11,000 miles driven it is consistently getting around 34-36 miles per gallon.

  This car is extremely reliable. It drives very nice and has a much better ride than my previous (more expensive) vehicle.

  Ive never driven a car that shifts so smoothly, is easy drive, and is so much fun! I especially love the fact that the stereo controls are easy to reach and control so your attention from the road is not diverted!

  I love my Honda - 2003 Honda Civic
  By mornglory - September 26 - 10:00 am

  I finally bought my first new car (my old car was a used 1990 Honda Accord LX), a 2003 Honda Civic LX coupe with automatic transmission. No extras, but the LX comes with power d/l/w, a cd player, seat height adjustment, vanity lights, air filtration air conditioning, front airbags, and cruise control. The trunk is roomy, rear seat folds down if extra room needed. The car is zippy, handles well, great acceleration. Best of all, i rarely have to fill it up. I do a lot of city driving, too, so mileage rate is wonderful. The car is fun and economical. - dawn

  Air bag problems during crashes - 2003 Honda Civic
  By Duke14 - September 26 - 10:00 am

  Great cars, but my 00 Civic EX and my 01 Civic EX both of which i had gotten into an accident(head-on) and my air bags didnt go off. i walked away from both accidents, but i hit a barrier at 50+ mph and no airbag.. i thought it was a fluke, my second accident, head on with a pickup (@intersection) and again i walk away despite no airbag deployment. i dont think i am the only one experiencing this problem... i had a SRS light on my 01, so i took it in to get fixed and they just turned off the light and said they get that all the time.... obviously not

  I cant get over the quietness of operation. The seating (driver) could be a little better. Im older so the ride could be a little softer. Am quite pleased driving this car.
