Given it's age, it's impressive how well this car has held up over the years. Personally I like the way it handles, the steering is very smooth and it's low C.O.G. Allows it to take turns relatively easily. Another major perk is it get's excellent mileage even in the city. One drawback with this car though is the noise, on the highway the sound insulation is nil and it gets rather loud. Similarly it tends to rattle when hitting speeds over 60 with is unsettling. Occasionally it takes overly long to shift when speeding up

I have owned Honda vehicles since 1987, and this current Honda Civic EX is one of the best vehicles I've ever had. In terms of performance, fuel economy, comfort, luxury features, and styling, I'd be hard-pressed to find better value for the price. The controls are all intuitive, the ride is smooth and comfortable, my passengers in both the front and rear seats have ample leg room and ability to adjust climate control to their liking. And it uses economy grade fuel, which is a cost savings I did not have with my Civic Si.
