It's Reliable And Was A Good Price. Lasts Forever. — good reliable Honda. It's not fast, but it's fast enough. The seats are comfortable and there are good features for a car that is almost 14 years old. big trunk, seats fold down. Easy to install upgrades. Good price too.

Gets Me From Point A To B — I like the spacious interior, its not major but good enough for me. Performance is relatively good, Gas mileage is OK. Appearance, well with some tints, it looks good. Cost of ownership is good, and it IS fun to drive.

At 13, This Car Still Gets 31 Mpg - It Just Keeps Going... — Excellent reliability, great gas mileage, and few repairs. Honda continues to provide excellent vehicles at excellent prices that have durability that far exceeds its American competitors. Couple this with excellent fuel standards and sleek designs and you can understand why Honda has one of the highest rates of non-employee repeat business.

Great Commuter Car — If you just need a somewhat reliable, very inexpensive to own and even less expensive to operate car to commute, then this is your ride. The 2.2L VTEC engine makes great power, and the car is light enough to feel quick. Handling is better than average and the seats are very comfy. Even with 220K miles on the odometer mine was still spunky, felt tight and the interior was in decent shape.

Very Relaible Car Even After 13 Years — I drive it with a lpg tank and the cars has driven 345,000 kilometers on LPG fuel. cheap, clean burning and the oil doesn't need change for over 100,000 KM! I can choose gasoline or lpg with a push of a button.

Good Ride With Great Mpg Possibilities. — The only thing I don't like about this car is that there are no power windows, mirrors, or door locks. The handling and ride are great. It would get decent mileage for a typical driver with an EPA combined rating of 20/24/28. Currently I am getting about 40 MPG with skill alone.
