I have owned my Honda Civic for 9 years now and have had almost no problems with it. Right now it has over 170K miles and is driving just as well as when I first bought it. In general I keep up with oil changes and routine maintenance. In terms of functionality, I have nothing negative to say about it. There is nothing special about its performance and some cosmetic wear and tear is visible. But overall I just need my car to get me from A-to-B and keep me away from the car buying process as long as possible. That's what I get from my Civic.

Performance: The Si has a K-series engine which gives it more torque than previous versions. Practicality: The previous owner lowered the car. This makes taking turns at higher speeds easier, but living in an urban environment is difficult when there are potholes and speed bumps. The smaller body is better for city driving and parking. Styling: Hatchback provides more storage space. The sunroof is a pleasantly additive for long car rides. Minimal to no body damage. It's a cute car with a rounded backside and tinted windows. The spoiler is not stock. Reliability: Car has over 100,000 miles on it with minimal issues running. Comfort: Bucket seats with cloth covers. Older car so the seat cushions are worn down. Retains the heat in the summer. Fuel economy: The Si is a five speed. I can easily go 300 miles without refueling.
