The car is very reliable and starts right up in the winter, and even the coldest of days. The simplicity of the car means that hardly anything goes wrong for the lifetime of the vehicle. As long as you keep the oil clean, it will last a very long time. Because it's a small car, you can fit into nice spaces and turn very rapidly. One would think that a small wouldn't be able to handle a rough snowy day, but this car has gotten me through some tough roads and icy mornings. The fact that the car is low to the ground and more evenly weighted, means it can move, even with only two-wheel drive.

I love my car! I bought it new and have owned it for 14 years. I don't drive far so I only have 50,000 miles on it. This car runs perfectly. The only repairs it has needed are new tires and a couple new batteries. It's comfortable, surprisingly spacious and is extremely dependable. The back seats fold down so I can fit most everything I need to fit in the car. However it is old now and starting to show it's age. The paint is peeling in one area and there are little dings and scrapes that are cosmetic. As far as cons go, the newer cars have excellent technology that are not available in such an older car. I would love a back up camera and system where I could hook up my phone for calls and music. The camera would be a very convenient safety feature and as I get older I wish my car had that feature. The phone hookup would be nice but are not really a necessity. This is the second Honda Civic I have owned and both were excellent dependable vehicles. I would definitely buy another Honda when the time comes.
