I bought my civic brand new in 02 and have had it ever since. I have been very happy with it. It has almost 170K miles on it already and I haven't had to do any major work to it. I always get it serviced at a Honda dealership according to the recommended schedule. It gets great gas mileage and is very reliable. It has good interior & trunk space for a small car. I would recommend this car to anyone looking for a reliable, fuel efficient vehicle.
