I have owned Honda Civic since 2007. Even after putting more than 110000 miles on the car, it still goes on without any problems. In terms of the performance of the engine, it is a very reliable car. I haven't had any engine related issues so far. With respect to parts that are normally subject to wear and tear, I should say that Honda has used very good parts. Other than changing my tires once after 65000 miles and battery once, I had only changed relay for my air conditioner (less than $150). It was pretty much regular oil change and routine maintenance on the car. At this rate, I expect the car to perform well for another 50 - 60000 miles. The car is also built very strong. Even though I had two rear end collisions on my car, there is still no rattling while driving. I am also pleasantly surprised to know that the steering assembly has not given me any trouble. The other two non-Honda cars/minivans I had owned before started failing in this aspect after around 75000 miles. Not this Honda Civic. The car also has features like ability to lift the separation between trunk and the seats making it possible to fit in even lumber over 8 ft.

I bought this Honda Civic used at a Minnesota dealership with only 10k miles on her. From the moment I started her up, it was love at first sight. Sleek frame, smooth transmission, user-friendly (my girlfriend is a horrible driver but can somehow manage to be designated driver) and top-notch acceleration. I drove 26 hours non stop from St. Paul, MN, to Harlingen, TX. Even with the insane amount of traffic and erratic drivers, the brakes were tight and consistent without being too jolty. She is very aerodynamic also. Due to boredom and lack of better judgment at the time, I raced a couple of semis on the freeway a la Fast and Furious but won every single time, unscathed thankfully. She has the speed, endurance, and versatility of a rally car. I have driven well over 100k miles with her, and she is still the best car I have ever had (being a former Ford Focus & Toyota Corolla owner).
