This was our first Honda car, and it inspired us to purchase a second Honda when the time came to get another vehicle. It's been a reliable and trustworthy vehicle for so many years. If you've ever had a problem car, you'll know how nice it can be to not worry about your transportation breaking down or falling apart. This was that vehicle for our family. Not only was it an affordable car, it wasn't a stuffy or lame car. It's a slightly sporty car without crazy bells and whistles, and the fact that it's been so solid for us has been amazing. It's a nice balance of reliable and fun, dependable and attractive, which can be hard to find in a lot of vehicles. It's not a Mustang or a Station Wagon, but kind of the best of both worlds. It's also been a very economical vehicle: parts, gas, original price, retained value are all really good for people who don't want to bleed money, since buying a car is expensive enough. Upkeep shouldn't be the financial straw that breaks the camel's back.

My husband has been an avid Honda Civic owner for many years. If it wasn't for his history with Honda Civic vehicles, I may not have considered this vehicle for purchase. Starting from the experience at the dealership, till today, I have had pride in ownership of my car. The dark grey body color with dark tinted windows from the factory really make this a stunning car to see. Driving this car is so fun! The way it reacts through any road condition makes me believe this car will be mine for a very long time. It idles well in heavy, commuting traffic but also makes you feel like you are floating through the miles during off-peak traffic hours.
