2008 Honda Civic - Extremely satisfied with no major issues.

I like that the vehicle gets good gas mileage (38+) and I have never had any major repairs required on it. I bought it used with 40,000 miles on it because I commute and just needed a car that would last well. I don't like that it's not very fancy. It doesn't have many of the bells and whistles of newer cars, but at the time I was interested in a car that would last a long time for little cost. The brakes are not very sturdy after this long and it's not great in snow, but I would never worry about the car dying on me for no reason.

Story

We have mountains near where we live with a beautiful road to drive, especially in the fall with the leaves changing colors. We would always drive up the mountain and have a picnic and enjoy the view.

Pros

It gets great gas mileage for a non-hybrid, no major repairs (transmission, engine, etc.), safety rating, it's a great value, it has almost 200,000 miles and I'm not worried about it dying. It is has good room for a compact sedan and has a good sized trunk. It used to go 90 miles a day with no issues other than tires- not related to the make/model.

Cons

It's very simple. There is no sunroof, no Bluetooth, no heated seats, no automatic seats, no keyless start, no navigation system, no satellite radio, no back-up cameras, etc. It was a very simple version of the car even in 2008 so now it is extremely outdated.

2012 Honda Civic - Solid, albeit, small vehicle

The Civic is a fantastic, small, reliable car. We have had very little issue with the maintenance of the car, the gas mileage is great, and we've overall been generally very pleased. The seats are comfortable, and fit my husband's rather large frame nicely. The truck is also huge — he's had a Christmas tree in the trunk for a year without needing additional space! Although, having leg room in the front and a big trunk does make the back seat a little tight.

Story

The car is super zippy! I love driving it to the store when there aren't many people around and taking the corners much faster than I can in my bigger vehicle!

Pros

The Civic gets excellent gas mileage, is an easy and fun car to drive, and requires very little maintenance. There's tons of room in the front.

Cons

The car is very little. Although, I believe it's rated well for safety. Whenever I drive it, I worry a little about how it would fare in an accident with a larger vehicle. As low to the ground as it is, it's also hard to see around bigger vehicles. Everyone has an SUV, which makes this thing tiny! Also, the back bumper tends to flake off or have other cosmetic issues. A mechanic friend of ours said when they get trade in Civics, they just always plan to paint the bumper.
