The Honda civic has been a reliable vehicle since I purchased one. The build quality is good for an economy 4 cylinder car. Interior on these cars is not luxury quality but is excellent for a 4 door car. Exterior paint has held up well and has not been repainted since 1998. Panels all fit well on car and fenders and bumper are lined up well. It is a smaller car and being 6 foot 7 inches I have to basically fall into the seat in order to get in. Being lower to the ground, I personally have some trouble getting in and out.

My Honda is a pretty good car. It is very forgiving when I forget to change the oil on time, and the windshield doesn't take a lot of dings when I travel to conventions and things. It doesn't rattle when I drive on the freeway, even when we hit rough patches of road. I don't have a lot of upper body strength, but the power steering is fantastic, so smooth and easy to use. All the buttons are where I can see them, so if I need to turn off my high beams or flip on the windshield wipers or something, it is very easy to do. I tend to get very stressed out when driving unless I have music, but luckily, not only do I have a great radio, but the radio itself can be controlled via the steering wheel.
