Used 2007 Honda Civic for Sale nearRaleigh, NC

I had researched several different vehicles in this before purchasing this one right off the truck. Alternatives were the Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, Nissan Altima, Pontiac G5, VW Golf, Toyota Corolla, and the Toyota Matrix. All of these are fine in their own ways but none can quite compare to the Civic outside of the Golf. The Civic has better handling on sharper corners, an example of this, there is a certain corner that I take that the entry speed is 55 in the other cars, the Golfs was 60 and the Civic was able to do it flat at 72 mph. Acceleration is a bit lacking though and it feels as though it could do better but is just not quite tuned right. The interior is roomy, I am six foot five and can fit in it comfortably... the one complain I have is that the handbrake pokes into my leg if I lean it there. Fuel economy is excellent though. I have been able to get well over 40 mpg traveling on the highway at 72 mph. In town it is cut back a bit to around 30 mpg due to stopping and going and passing. The car is fairly light on its feet but provides good traction in rainy weather. I will say that it does not do well in snow and ice; where I was only able to do 25 mph, other cars were passing me by at 45. Some people don't like the digital speedometer/fuel gauge but I have come to prefer it, it is strategically placed in my line of sight and I can easily concentrate on my speed as well as the road ahead. I dislike the fact the the front pillars come forward so far as to obstruct my view when taking a corner and the road noise can be a bit pronounced. I do like the looks of the car although they are a bit French and reflect a lot you would see in a Citroen. I have put nearly thirty thousand miles on it in the past year and it has not been in the shop one time. The top speed is supposedly limited to 125 mph but I have seen my speedometer at 138 which is not bad at all for a four cylinder car.

it's the best and most reliable car i could have ever own.

Easy to ride and handle; feels sporty, great audio system, crystal clear at high volume. Great NAV with various languages voice commands, voice recognition system works great. Playing CD/MP3 with SD card for music. XM sattelite radio is awesome (separate subscrition needed).

the Si is quick, sharp, and fun to drive. The 6 speed is easy to master and offers much fun for accelerating on the on- ramps. The most fun occurs in V-tec mode- it gives it a burst of acceleration.

It's made in Thailand, 1.8 Ex. This is the best Civic ever. It has fast acceleration, superb handling with excellent build quality. The design is perfect for a small Japanese 4 doors car. The fuel consumption is amazingly low. Maintenance is extremely cheap! Civic FD1 was the best car thai I had!
