I like the reliability of the car and the gas mileage it gets. My Honda Civic is almost 17 years old and still runs flawlessly. All I need to do is make sure the oil is changed about every 4,000 miles and the car runs great. The original power windows, CD player, power locks and sunroof controls still work just fine. The cloth seats are still in good shape and it is still mechanically sound to this day.

I bought this 1993 Honda Civic as a used car purchase. My parents made the remark that it was over priced for the year/model, but I went ahead with the purchase anyhow. Little did I know that I would put over 100,000 miles on it. It traveled well for an eight-hour spring break trip, and it's done great being my main transportation around town for work and errands. Groceries fit great into the trunk with laundry in the front seat and my daughter comfortably in the back seat with plenty more space. Gas mileage is quite amazing especially with a small tank this baby can go over a week on a tank! Working on the car is simple and anyone can tackle brakes, oil changes and even things like the alternator/starter replacement can be done with someone that has basic tools and some basic mechanical knowledge. The only downside is this car sits lower to the ground so for older folks like my parents and grandparents my car is not the go to travel with them in. This thing has been hit on all four corners the radio and air con have gone out finally but if you need a car you can depend on for forever a Honda Civic can definitely fill that space. This car has out lived the other five cars I have purchased since this Honda. When I catch up on some student debt payments, I will be looking to purchase another older Honda Civic as a second car.
