  • Reliable Economy Car - 1998 Honda Civic

    My father-in-law purchased this car for my wife while we were still dating. That was about 6 years ago when it had approximately 40,000 miles. The car now has over 155,000 and is still running strong. We have the oil changed every 3,000 miles and do the other maintenance that is recommended by the manufacturer. The car has proven to be a hassel free daily driver and I expect that will continue well into the future.

  • Great Gas Mileage... most of the time - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Decent car, decent ride, decent handling, off the line pickup isnt that great with the automatic, but passing power is decent. Only con so far would be: any time the gas tank has fewer than 3 gallons in it, its nearly impossible to start, the dealer cant seem to find anything wrong with it, nor have they been able to duplicate the problem (always how those things go) Also, the dealership was a ripoff for trade-ins, and are a pain to work with in general.

  • best car ive owned - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    Ive owned my honda ex for about 8 years and i can honestly say that it has been the best car i have ever owned. Ive put 286,000 miles on it and yes ive had to put some money into it. eventually things wear out however, it has never "broken down" on me and i have never had to worry about it starting. The only flaw with this vehicle that i can see is that the exhaust rusts out quickly. other than that scheduled maintenance is all this baby needs to run like a top!! i have had to get frequent alignments but that could be my driving or the roads in maine or both. if i could wish for an improvement it would be a quieter ride. other than that i have no complains. handles well,mpg about 33 highway.

  • Best Car Ever - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    All Civics are great vehicles. Ive owned two. Both were totaled, only reason Ive had to buy another car. 98 Civic totaled with me driving - hit on drivers side by head on collision by Chevy Malibu. Had to be pried out by Jaws of Life. Want to buy another Civic - only small bruises on my body!! Miracle Im not hurt worse. Only problem with car, front power window was going out. Will always recommend Hondas. Will never find a better vehicle!

  • Name says it all! Honda Civic EX Coupe! - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car has been awesome. Owned it for almost 10 years. Just tripped 64k and still runs like a top. But times have changed and Ive gone from just me to a wife, 2 kids, and me. So, Im going from one extreme to another... trading it in on a 2007 Tundra CrewMax. Its hard to let go, but it must be done. I know someone else will enjoy it for another 10 years or more.

  • Better than Civics of 2007 - 1998 Honda Civic
    By -

    What can I say? I bought this car in October of 1998, it spent two years on a trickle charger while I was stationed overseas from 2001-2003, and then started up like I never left when I got back to the U.S. Aside from the A/C that imploded last summer at 100,000 miles (~1800 bucks to replace the whole system--yikes!) and an exhaust leak noticed at 80,000 (no need to replace), I have had absolutely no problems with this car. Take it in for scheduled maintainance and forget your worries.

  • The best! - 1998 Honda Civic

    I have owned my Civic for over four years and I only had to use the warranty service once. This is a great car. As a owner, I highly recommend this car.
