I love this car. I have had it for a little over a year and would purchase it again in a heartbeat. I have driven it about 10,000+ miles and have yet to have any expensive maintenance costs. It's a breeze to take my dog to the dog park since it is surprisingly spacious. It also is a breeze to clean! This car is also enjoyable on longer trips. The driver's seat is very comfortable and provides great support. The look of the car is also very nice. It is very sleek and modern looking.

I have owned this vehicle since 2010. It is a good size, not too small and not too big so easy to park. I have put 90,000 miles on it. It gets decent gas mileage at 28mpg on average and has been extremely reliable. Other than expected wear items like tires and battery replacement/oil changes, the only thing that went wrong was a heat sink part on the a/c blower had to be replaced and one of the visors broke by itself, these two problems were less than $200 to fix. Keep in mind the vehicle is 11 years old now with about 110,000 miles. The maintenance reminder that comes up for scheduled maintenance is very helpful and I have done all required maintenance and oil changes. The car gets reasonable acceleration and the interior build quality is generally good, though not fancy. The back seats are relatively small but I don't haul people around so that is not a problem for me. Oh, the rear seat fold down so you can fit some super long cargo, I'm sure skis or long pieces of wood would fit fine angled towards the passenger seat. I was able to fit the box of a 55" TV easily. This is the best car generally I've ever owned. However, I wouldn't buy a new Civic If I were in the market because I don't like the design of the new ones.
