The 2007 Honda Civic EX has been the single best car I have owned. It gets on average about 30mpg driving along back roads. My civic currently has over 160k miles and is still running strong. I haven't had to make any major repairs, just replacing brakw lines, brake pads, new tires and the starter once since I purchased it pre-owned in 2011. It is quick to get up and go, and compact enough to park easily along crowded city streets. However, winter in Maine is not always kind and it does not handle too well in the snow. It has been roomy enough to accommodate two car seats in the back, but leg room is becoming an issue as the kids are growing. The trunk space is great, easily fitting a stroller, coolers, and chairs for camping with the kids.

The 2007 Honda Civic Ex has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. It is now about to turn over 200k miles and has been really low maintenance. The only work done to it over the years have included new batteries, brakes and rotors, and standard tire replacement and oil changes. It still gets great gas mileage, between 25-30 mpg. The seats have seen some better days, but they are still easy to clean and covers would solve that problem easily. I will be driving this car for several thousand more miles. The fabric is starting to come apart along the back edges of the front seat, as my toddler loves to kick his little feet against it. There are wear marks all the way through the floor where my heel rests and pivots between the brake and gas pedals. My heel now rests upon the metal underneath the fabric, but nothing that a cover won't solve.
