The build quality of this car is excellent, with few problems presenting in critical systems over 60,000 miles. The interior is of standard quality, and amenities are standard as well, but for an affordable price, it is as expected. The compactness of the car is really excellent for first time car owners, as it provides room for passengers as well as cargo. One downside is the air conditioning system seemed to give out relatively soon, resulting in costly repairs.

As a single woman, I was very interested in getting a car that I could rely on. My Honda Civic is always reliable (I wish I could find a man so reliable!). It delivers a nice ride with enough pick up when I need it. I love the styling, and I appreciate the great gas mileage that it gets. I believe that the Civic offers top-notch quality at an affordable price.
