Civic: Whimpy Little Ride Or Small Box Of Joy? —

What is a civic? well it's one step up from a go cart and one step bellow a respectable car. it's not the best looking car, it most certainly doesn't not have mind blowing performance and to top it off it's front wheel drive. but despite all that it makes for a great ride. i believe the true beauty of this car comes out when you're actually behind the wheel of it. it starts off as soon as you turn the key and expect to hear something of an engine noise coming from under the hood, only to be disappointed by something that sounds a little more aggressive than a loud lawn mower. but somehow it always put a smile on my face. then as soon as you take off down the street you come up to the first corner and turn the wheel but thanks to the lack of power steering you have to use the strength of an ox. but it does keep feedback high. then the next thing you encounter is a steep hill. you start taking the hill in 3rd and you look down and notice a steady drop in RPM then you shift down to 2nd to make things a little easier. but then you notice that even at wide open throttle your RPM aren't even rising and you're only making it up the hill because you gave it a good running start. all in all it's all these little things that only become obvious once you drive a civic around that really makes the ride enjoyable and fun. i am pretty sure that sometime down the road i will own another.

Cowabunga! — this car has been great! I've owned it all 18 years! 300k is just around the corner! Very reliable and has some fun around the corners. It's fuel efficient, easy to park, low cost of maintenance even at 290k.

This Car Surprises Me — Bought this baby after I sold my 3000gt. should have kept it I know, paid $900 for it with 220K miles. drove it for a solid 2 years or so. We hit a fire extinguisher and almost hit a house and it pushed the wheel back like 4 inches and was basically totaled. So we yanked the wheel back into place, bought a new rim, cuz that was wrecked to, and turned it into an ice racer. The car now has 260K on it, all original, besides the stuff we cut off for less weight, and it rips around the track in 2nd at 55-60mph. its going to pop soon I'm sure.

Performance And Gas Mileage Combined — 50+ mpg cant beat that and the car was very quick considering how old it is

Its An Awsome Starter Car — It depends on how well maintained your vehicle is. As for mine, well it was decent. Acceleration was ok but its only a 4 stroke so there was barley anything to it. Handling was ok, and it drove good on the highways. The gas milege was poor but at 17 1/2 years old, how good can it be? :P It was fun to driv but should have been better maintained.
