2007 Honda Civic - Small but Reliable
My '07 Honda Civic was my first car. When I first got it, I thought it was kind of lame compared to what my friends were driving, but I was proven wrong really quickly. It's small, but it can still comfortably hold five adults and their stuff. I've taken countless road trips in this car without it ever overheating, and the only problems I've ever had with it were caused by bad batteries and not the car itself. The upholstery and interior are easy to keep clean, and the sunroof is a really nice touch.
Story
I've used this car to jump-start almost a dozen cars in the local college's parking lot. Most people are surprised when a compact Civic can jump-start a truck or van on the first try!
Pros
The sunroof is great, especially in the summer when it's hot. The trunk has a lot of space and a very durable bed that allows for some heavy duty hauling for such a small car. The backseat has a lot of room and the stereo is pretty good for the default option.
Cons
The window seals on the front windows failed after a while, leading to moisture getting into the wiring for the doors and making the front speakers fail intermittently. It was cheaply and easily fixed, though, so it wasn't a huge con. Besides that, trying to charge a device and play audio off of the same device through the aux port creates constant feedback, but from what I understand that's a common issue.
2007 Honda Civic - Great car
The 2007 Honda Civic is a very nice car. It is fast, dependable, and with minimum maintenance required. It has a very modern dashboard: digital speedometer with informational notifications and warning displays. The gas mileage is easily one of the best features of this car as well as the speed at which it takes off from a stopped position. For such a low price, I am actually amazed with how fast this car is.
Story
Road trip with my friend to another city. We visited a couple malls, went to several restaurants, and just had fun driving around and exploring.
Pros
As I said earlier, gas mileage is easily one of the best parts of this vehicle as well as speed and dependability. I have had very few issues with this car. It is not too big or unwieldy; it handles very well.
Cons
There is a blind spot in the front left corner of the windshield: the structural skeleton/casing of the car (the part that holds up the roof) gets in the way of the driver's vision. This can become a problem when trying to turn left or see what is directly in front of you to the left.
