I bought my Honda Civic brand new in 2005. I researched many different vehicles and I wanted a durable car with excellent trade-in value. My car is now 10 years old and has 84,000 miles on it but I still love it. The paint has bleached a little from the sun and I have had to replace a few belts and tires over the years but overall it's been a great little car. It gets wonderful gas mileage and that was important to me when I bought it because at the time I was throwing a paper route that was 40 miles long 6 nights a week. I put a ton of wear and tear on it just doing those paper routes for the years that I did but it hung in there with me. Now that I own it free and clear and have done so for several years now I do not see a reason to get a new car. Change your oil when you should and your Honda will last forever.

I drive a Honda Civic that has been a great, reliable car for the last five years. I have always purchased Honda's because I really like how well built they are. My last one lasting over ten years. My Civic is not incredibly stylish. It's a normal small car, but it's the reliability and what's on the inside that counts. I don't care to have an expensive car because I often hit things, so the outside doesn't matter much. My Civic always bounces back from scrapes and scratches, and the inside is really great. I feel like the inside of my car is a cockpit. It has navigation, Bluetooth, multiple screens in front of me with the speedometer, etc. The only thing it's missing that I wish it had inside technology-wise is a back-up camera. The performance of the car is decent, though I always leave the eco-boost button on to get better gas mileage, so the acceleration is not great. The fact that I can drive so far on one tank of gas makes up for it though and is amazing.
