Overall, I'm a big fan of my car and I generally go out of my way to talk it up whenever I know people are looking for a new vehicle. It's dependable, it's affordable, it's aesthetically-pleasing, it's great on gas, and the dealership offers great service! Despite the fact that it's got about 170,000 miles on it, the engine has given me no problems other than a slight shudder that I have yet to be able to diagnose, and I know I can depend on it to get me where I need to go- even if that's far away! As for what I'd like to change on it, well, there are some minor cosmetic details that worry me- for example; the center console lid broke and no longer closes, the paint is starting to look a bit worn, and the passenger's drop-down mirror/visor came off completely, with the driver's side one on it's way to doing the same thing! It's also fairly small for what I'd like, but that could easily be fixed by me purchasing a four door!

I have always loved Honda, and it is due to the Civic I own. It is such a spacious car with tons of room and, best of all, it's been really reliable through about the last ten years we have owned it. I cannot recall a time where we (my husband and I) were left stranded because we ran out of gas or because the car broke down unexpectedly. Even the paint job is great. My car is red, it has not faded and the top clear layer of paint is not coming off. That was a big issue for me with other cars because red is my favorite color! I also really love the style. It seems to have a classic style that will always look great through out the years. Because I like the Honda Civic so much, I helped my husband get the same car too! His is blue and would also agree that it is one of the best cars he has ever owned! My husband and I are becoming a Honda family, as both myself and my husband would agree we will choose Honda for our son's first car when he is sixteen. We feel it is the best and safest decision for the future.
