From the time in which I was little I was always thinking about getting a fast car. Sometime later when I graduated I did receive one but at the same time realized that getting one and paying for all of the costs of one are two very different things. Hence my purchase of the 2006 Honda Civic. This is an average car for everything from going to the store, to picking up friends, to low to mid moving from one place to another. Its the kind of car that you can take everywhere and not feel like you need to wear a suit and tie just to go to the store. Rather its the car that can go mostly everywhere and be lost in the cacophony of cars in make and model. Where you don't really need to have to create a sense of attention to the car. Sure there are accessories that could be added to the car and of course you could trick it out to make it something that could be considered a race or street car but why would you. This is a daily driver that was designed to accommodate the person who just wants to go from point a to point b. It is a car that is for the person who sees dials and indicators and thinks "Hmm these seem important, but its not the speed gauge so its ok". Did I mention that maintenance on the car is a non issue ? Yes for the most part you can run the car into the ground, forget oil changes, checking tire pressure. So long as it looks like it "could" run it will.

I liked a lot about the Honda Civic. Starting off with the great 40 Miles to a gallon fuel economy it had. It did not give 40 miles to a gallon if you drove the car rough but even with rough driving it did give 32 miles to a gallon. It was wonderful for me since I had to commute 100+ miles every weekday for a whole year. I drove 25,000 miles within a year and there wasn't any maintenance required for the car other than oil change. Car is also average size to where it is very easy to park. Also to pull out of the parking space with the backup camera with multiple angles. The pick up was a little slow if you had ECON mode on but turning off made it much faster. The only thing I dislike is that the radio is based on digital antenna so you can't connect to long range radio stations.
