The vehicle gets great gas mileage, approximately 27 mpg city driving, and between 36-40 mpg on the highway. Over the past six years and 83,000, I have never had a problem starting the vehicle, even during the polar vortex. It has been comfortable for long trips (many 2-3 hour trips and one 6 hour trip).

The Honda Civic is a very reliable car. As long as you keep good tires on it, and change the oil regularly, you should not have much maintenance on this car.
