Small compact fast.

I had this car as a rental and it sucked. I still can't get over that it turns off when it says AUTO STOP. this car has no guts what so ever. I like cars with a little take off but not this one.

This is our best fuel car. My husband uses it for his 2 hour commute, and I often borrow it. It is a very well built car. Smooth and sleek, complete with a navigation system that has no idea where it's going. :D

I didn't want a new Civic, I was happy with my old and almost paid off Civic.  But Neal thought I  needed a new one...and I'd already had 2 Civics and loved them, so we ordered it w/o testing it out first.  I mean, it's a Civic, so I knew I'd love it, right?  WRONG!  They completely changed it.  I hated the look of it, the new body style - ick.  But I thought I could get over it.  After driving it for about two weeks, I realized my back was killing me.  The only thing that had changed in my life was my car...so I compared the new Civic seat to the old one, totally different.  They completely missed the mark with the seat design, in my opinion.  They built the car for a tall man.  Who drives Civics???  Usually women, not tall men.  The seat design was horrible, the headrest came forward, hitting my head in the absolute worst place, forget wearing your hair up if you drive this car.  I actually just took the headrest off and threw it in the trunk.

Besides comfort, the car was s-l-o-w.  I mean real slow.  Especially when we moved to AZ and had the a/c running all the time.  The car had no get up and go.  None.  It was embarrassing.  And it was a stick, so it was a pain to drive in traffic, not something I took into consideration when we bought it in Michigan.  

So, I wanted to love the car because Honda had never done me wrong before - but this Civic destroyed it for me.  They can take that Motor Trend Car of the Year and stick it up their......anyway, I hated the car so much that we bought out the lease early so I could go into the BMW...which turned out, well...see my BMW review.  :(
