It's a safe, reliable car that's easy to drive. It's lightweight, which contributes to its good gas mileage. This can also have the downside, though, of causing the car to hydroplane on water, decreasing traction with the road. Car is comfortable and easy to clean.

I've had my 2005 Honda Civic EX since I was fifteen, and my mother bought it barely used. I have driven it from the west coast to the east coast and back and all the way up to Canada and down to Mexico. It's nearing 200,000 miles and still running great. There were a few major repairs that happened along the road, but that's to be expected with how much I've driven.
