I have owned my Honda Civic for over two years now, and it has run amazingly well and has stayed reliable as a great commuter vehicle. For being a 2001 car, I was able to purchase it with only 120,000 miles on it, and it was mainly an in town vehicle for the last owner. As I primarily use it to commute 15-30 miles each direction to work several days a week, it has never broken down or had any out of the norm work required. I have always felt safe and secure driving it, and the gas mileage is really good as it is a smaller vehicle. Although you sit higher up (in regards to the steering wheel) compared to a full-size vehicle, it is something that you get used to over time and becomes quite comfortable driving.

The 2006 Honda Civic is a car design that has aged remarkably well. In fact, I don't think there has been much appreciable change to the interior dash of Civics since then. When sitting in the car, you do not feel like you're in a car from 2006Ñit could easily pass as a car 10 years newer or more. Externally, the car also still looks very classy, with a body type that has so far defied the aging that many other cars from the era have fallen victim to. The car is made even classier with the addition of alloy wheels, which many of them can be found with. Unless you're wanting to spend a lot more of your income per month making payments on something much newer, it's hard to make a better decision than for a 2006 Civic, in terms of both reliability and looks.
