  Ritzs Review - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Jritz - May 3 - 10:00 am

  The 2001 Civic Ex is a great car if you are looking for a car that is dependable and gets great gas mileage. I keep track of my gas mileage and the worst i have ever done was 30mpg and the best was 41mpg. If you want a car that goes fast DONT BUY A CIVIC! I have not had any problems with it. So far SO good!

  Im convinced - 2002 Honda Civic
  By booradley - May 2 - 8:30 am

  I love this car. Dependable, comfortable, and super fun to drive. I had only driven cars with a V6 engine before this, so I was somewhat skeptical, but have been pleasantly surprised at the power and peppiness of this engine.

  love my honda - 2002 Honda Civic
  By grj - May 1 - 10:37 pm

  I love this car. I didnt even do maintenance for 2 years because I didnt know what to do! Now I get regular filter changes/tires/oil/and it needed some transmission fluid when I noticed it made a weird squeaking noise. Read the user manual would be my advice, to avoid costly mechanical charges. DO change air filters a lot (every 3 oil changes), it improves the fuel economy. I only had to change the battery one time, and Ive had to jump start it many (when it was the old battery) because I kept leaving the lights on. The factory battery lasted 5 years which is really quite something!.

  Covers all the Bases-- Great Value - 2002 Honda Civic
  By MIMI - April 2 - 2:40 am

  Dont know why more arent being sold, as the price is right for a car that is reliable, safe (check out NTSB 5 star ratings) comfortable, nimble and fun to drive, and 40 mpg to boot! Must be the anonymous styling and boring color choices Honda offers. Still, the New generation Civic vastly improves over previous model years. Notice that the negative reviews are all on old civics, for inaccurate rating reflection. My sister drives a monstro SUV for "safety" and I love rubbing it in whenever we fill up her 12 mpg SUV vs. my 38-40 mpg five star safety squirrel Civic.

  Practical, but no more - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Sam - March 7 - 1:53 pm

  This car is quite practical, but has had a decent number of repairs. It gets good fuel economy (upper 20s) and is a sound car. However, if you are looking for a quick car, youve come to the wrong place.

  Civic EX-fun - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Marcus667 - February 20 - 10:00 am

  I find the Honda Civic EX to be well- made, with only minor electrical problems so far--a burned-out electric window switch. The pickup is fairly decent, although the handling isnt awfully forgiving of emergency maneuvers. Overall a fun drive.

  Biggest piece of crap I have owned - 2002 Honda Civic
  By jayse - December 21 - 2:00 am

  I really like the car minus all of the things that have malfunctioned with it. The fuel sending unit was replaced a month after purchase. The left front damper, left front stabilizer link and the right front strut assembly have been replaced. The AC compressor went out about 34 thousand miles, the alternator went out at around 41 thousand miles.

  so slick - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Pony Killer - September 20 - 10:00 am

  i sold my integra gsr, and bought this little rocket. its not as fast as the gsr, and its not quite as fun to drive. i think i like it better, though. the interior is better than that of ANY car that costs less than $50,000. the seats? you cant beat them. while this car usually comes in in the middle of the pack in shootouts, one thing to consider, is that this car is cheaper (mine was $17,300), and all the others come w/ 17" X 7" wheels. the civic comes with 15" X 6"s. with the same wheel and tire setup as the others, i think the civic would win most of these camparos. when you factor in hondas reliability and resale value, you cant go wrong.

  Puddle water shakes passanger side wheel - 2002 Honda Civic
  By Nick - February 11 - 8:03 pm

  This is a reply to an earlier post. I had the same problem as Scott...Does 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 hear if a car had no exhaust. As it dries, 30 seconds, it goes away. Honda knows of this issue and calls it a "characteristic of the car". They said not to worry and left it at that.
