2006 Honda Civic - Good Engine

I've owned my car for eight years. The engine has held up great over the years with little more than basic yearly maintenance. The car has over 130,000 miles on it and still drives great. I wish I could say all parts of the car were constructed as well. When the car was only seven years old, all of the power door lock mechanics needed to be replaced. The car has also needed to be repainted due to cloudiness and peeling in the top coat.

Story

Due to the great gas mileage, my family has taken this car on many vacations, from New York City to Gatlinburg, TN.

Pros

The car has great gas mileage, and handles well. It's a fun car to drive. Despite its small size, it does have a good amount of storage space. As an art teacher, I've hauled a wide variety of artworks around, along with a stroller, and everything fit in the trunk easily.

Cons

Taller people may be a bit uncomfortable in the back seat, as there isn't a ton of leg room. The peeling paint situation was very frustrating, especially since Honda was aware of the issue but would only repaint cars produced in 2006 and later. This meant my car missed the cut-off by only one year and I had to pay out of pocket to have the car repainted. Prior to that incident, I would have happily recommended Honda as a car brand, but their lack of support has changed that.

2015 Honda Civic - Great Daily Driver, Needs some Oomph.

I am a major fan of the interior. Honda did a great job designing a high-tech, sturdy machine from the inside out. Everything feels solid, and I really enjoy the look and feel of the Si trim. As far as "drivability" is concerned, the 2.4 Liter i-4 VTEC is tons of fun for a 4-cylinder engine. The transmission feels a bit groggy to get into first and/or second, but all gears afterwards are usually a smooth shift. The k24 engine provides more torque low in the rev-band, and it makes a difference. I anticipate that all components will embody the reliability that Honda is renowned for. I'm averaging 28 MPG, which is stellar considering how hard I push the engine. Complaints are that the finish shows blemishes too easily, and for the price, the Si offers a bit less on paper than competin... (more)

K24 engine Interior Transmission Aftermarket support Reliable reputation

Cons

Paint shows scratches easily Underpowered relative to comparably priced alternatives RWD cars in class are slightly more fun to drive Factory tuned for premium gas only
