2003 Honda Civic - Love this car!
I love my Honda Civic Hybrid! I purchased it used when it was already 6 years old. It had approximately 85,000 miles. Despite that, it continues to run very well. The only issues I have had with it were that I had to replace the rechargeable battery in the back (retails around $5,000, but the dealer was able to get it down to $3,500) and something in the exhaust system had to be replaced (which was covered under the vehicle warranty). It is now over 160,000 miles and still runs wonderfully. There is very little rattling of any framing, the power windows still work, and it handles like a dream. The only downside to it is that if you have tall people sitting in the car, they may be a little squished. The backseat isn't the biggest but I have had people around 5' 8'' in my backseat. The t...

The trunk is smaller as well, but I can fit enough groceries to feed my family of three for about a week and a half. Truly a wonderful family car!
I use this vehicle for commute to work and for family travel.

Runs well even after 160,000 miles. No major issues.

Rechargeable battery gives out after about 90,000 miles and is not cheap to replace. Not the roomiest of cars but not bad.

2003 Honda Civic - My Honda Civic
I purchase my Honda Civic as my first car. I wanted something small and fuel efficient. My Civic has proven to be very fuel effect. I can go over a week without filling up the gas tank. I chose the EX model because it included power windows and a moon roof. My car currently has over 110,000 miles on it and it still runs great. With regular maintenance I expect it to run another 100,000 miles or more. It is fairly roomy inside for being a compact. I like that it's a four door and it fits my two school aged children in the back seat just fine. The seats are cloth and a light tan color, I probably would have preferred a darker interior to hide stains better but it suits the color of the exterior so I can't complain too much. The trunk is also pretty roomy and has served me well as a mom w... (more)

The trunk is also pretty roomy and has served me well as a mom who tots children around and does a lot of grocery shopping. I will say I feel very safe in my car and for the price I paid, $7,000 used, it has been well worth it. My only complaint I have had in the seven years I've owned it, is the door handles were painted chrome and the paint is now peeling. It is very sharp and I have cut my finger more then once on it. Maybe molded plastic would have been a better option.
We drove this vehicle 400 miles to visit my mother for her birthday. My fiancŽ, two children and I were in the car for seven hours. It was a long trip, but we had no issues the whole way. We fit our luggage and gifts from my mother to bring home with very little of a struggle. We have also drove it to the shore and a couple other long trips and my Civic has been very good to us.

Fuel efficient, safe and reliable. Hondas are known for the reliability. I can definitely see my car lasting me another 100,000 miles or more. The car is easy to maintain and requires very little money to fill the gas tank. My tank of gas last me for over a week with regular commutes. The trunk is a good size. The back seat fits three car seats or my two school-age children well. It has power windows and a moonroof. My Civic included the VTech engine, which gives it a little boost at higher speeds. It has a good tuning radius and fits easily into parking spots as its more compact. It has A... (more)

It has a good tuning radius and fits easily into parking spots as its more compact. It has AC and a digital radio. The interior is comfortable and the cloth seats have taken a beating but still look good. The paint has held up well with no rust which is impressive for a 16-year-old car. There isn't much I would change about my car.
The cons on my Honda Civic is it lacks some of the updated technology that the newer cars offer. A back-up cam would have been a nice feature as well as heated seats. It lacks power seats and mirrors. It does lack power getting up to speed, such as when trying to merge on the highway. The door handles are painted chrome and the chrome is peeling while has cause the handles to be quite sharp and I have cut my finger on a couple occasions. The moon roof has a slight leak, which I was told is the drainage tube, so on heavy rains there is water that drips from under the dash board on the drive... (more)

The moon roof has a slight leak, which I was told is the drainage tube, so on heavy rains there is water that drips from under the dash board on the driver's side. The backseat would not fit more then two adults comfortably. As my children are getting older, I find myself wishing I had something larger.
