    This car is a great car for first time buyers.

    Im the second owner of my little black 5-speed hx. I absolutely love this car. The mileage is wonderful, it never seems at a lack of power (low weight), and the 5-speed works like an extension of my body. Honda really made a hell of a wonderful car here. The paint has held up really well and it starts without fuss every time. I get pretty good gas mileage with it as well. Probably around 35-36 combined (I drive pretty hard). I recommend this to anyone who can find one that isnt tricked-out, pimped, or in any other way stupidly modified.

  • Great Car! - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car just crossed 170000 miles. It was bought new after its model year, so my dad and I are the only owners. The only thing that was ever REALLY wrong was that the exhaust came apart under the car (as it did with two other Civics I know of). It was easily and cheaply replaced. Around 160000 I started hearing a whirring, and took it to the transmission place. They said it needed to be rebuilt, but couldnt point to an exact cause. I did it, and the noise is gone (or maybe just diminished), but Ive since become convinced I was ripped off. I expect to get another 80000 miles out of it at least, and Id rather buy a new engine for it than a new car!

    Ive owned this car for almost six years its got over 120,000 miles and still runs like new. I have never done anything to the engine or transmission, just regular oil change every 3K miles and a maintenance timing belt and water pump at 90K. Air filter and brakes when required. Im getting 33mpg. Its a very reliable car.

  • GREAT CAR, FUN TO DRIVE! - 1998 Honda Civic

    This is the best deal we have ever had for a car! It has maintained its value very well, and been completely reliable. And its a lot of fun to drive!

  • everyone should have this car! - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    I hear people with SUVs whining about their gas mileage, maintenance costs, and other stuff, and their jaw drops when I tell them I spend about $20 a week on gas! I bought this car in 10/03 w/ 53k miles and since then have driven the heck out of it. I now have 106k on it and have had no problems at all. I have done most of the big scheduled stuff on the car (spark plugs, timing belt, etc) and it runs like new! It also is a LOT cheaper to maintain than my wifes Liberty. My 63" stepfather is comfortable in the backseat. Drives smoother than any other compact I have ever ridden in! I love it!

  • Best car for the money - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Though the 1.6 litre engine is not as good as the newer 35 m.p.g. civics it still delivers a good 25-30 m.p.g. While maintaning enough power to deliver high altitude performance at even 15000 feet above sea level. That said however stay away from cheaper low grade corn based alchohol fuels they can cut fuel efficiency by one-third so you refuel more often and you will spend more hard earned $ in the long run.

    My 1998 Honda Civic has never let me down. it is dependable, reliable, and is very fun to drive. though the torque is not the best out of all cars, this car has always been there! its great styling and top of the line performance has stunned me.

  • What a great car - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Since I owned this car, I put a total of 650.00 into repairs (brakes & tires) This is one GREAT car. Never lets me down and does not need a lot of maint. Thanks GOD, the car is lucky if I remember to put oil in it. This car is so much fun to drive. Even my friends ask to drive it. I have been told that this car will run for 200,000 + miles. This is my first honda and I am looking to get another, if something should ever happen to his one.

  • First foreign car - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Love it, love it, love it! I purchased my 98 Civic EX coupe in 97 and its been the most reliable car Ive ever owned. 55k and the only thing that I had replaced was a altenator, which they fixed promptly. My husband likes to drive it and fits comfortably in it (hes 64). Were thinking about having kids, so we might look into something a little bigger. But I just cant part with my Civic. Well DEFINATLY stick with Honda, maybe well go to a 4dr or if I have it my way... an Accord. :)
