I purchased a Honda Civic because I feel that they have great longevity. I liked that I could purchase a newer model for a fair price (12k) I do like the fuel economy (30mpg) and reliability. The dealer I purchased from has a great track record (from me personally) dealing with repairs, they were always honest and had my best interest in mind. They never pushed me to get unnecessary things done. As for the car, the trim is simple, comes with Bluetooth and a huge trunk. I've driven it all through the US and racked up at least 30,000 miles, still runs great! There are only minor cons, for example I would prefer alloy wheels rather than hubcaps. Also the power is not that great and has trouble accelerating on the freeway or uphill. I would have bought a standard transmission to compensate for this. Tech wise, I'm very pleased. It notifies me if certain things are out of order like tire pressure or oil life. Other than that, I love this car and I'm sure it will be with me for the next 7-10 years. Such a great value!

My Honda Civic is a great little car. It does very well on gas. It's relatively roomy inside for being so small. I have put almost 240,000 miles on it and it's still going strong. It doesn't have a lot of fancy features, but it does get the job done. It's not fast, but it's a zippy little car. It has a standard transmission, which I prefer. It is very fun to drive. My husband says it drives like a go cart. My check engine light comes on sometimes and makes it drive weird. we scanned the code and it said something about an idle air control something or other. The panel with the speedometer is very basic. I changed out the factory radio and put a different one in, and I like it much better. The trunk is relatively large for such a small car. It is easy to find parts for because it's such a common car.
