The automatic transmission is still a problem in the 2003 Civic, though not as serious as in 2002. Fuel economy, low maintenance, drivability and comfort are consistent favorites of this automobile. With plenty of room for passengers and cargo, one finds surprising space in this compact. For a small car priced at $11,700 to $18,200, drivers believe it to be reliable, and in the long term, affordable. A great buy.
What owners say
"Overall, owners love the 2003 Honda Civic for its reliability, fuel economy, and fun handling. Many appreciate the spacious interior and low maintenance costs. However, some drivers feel it lacks in power and acceleration, and a few noted that the driving experience can be a bit dull."
Overall pretty decent car, had some defects that should be fixed. The Value is decent maybe a bit overpriced for what it is.
March 8, 2025Mental revs, fun to drive, never breaks down
July 6, 2008the car is very stabile and has a great grip on the road. it has very good acceleration. The breaking is a bit sensitive in my opinion It has much room for 4-5 passengers and plenty of storage space. It would buy it again for a small family or couple, and it is a pleasure to drive it.

October 29, 2006I love the fact that it does not break the bank to fill up the tank. It is great for singles or families with small kids . The car still looks good and runs great. You can't go wrong with a Honda.
March 10, 2015Very reliable, needs no special maintenance, just wish it went faster (only a 1.4L). 38MPG Loads of room inside for 4 big adults, 5 smaller ones at a push Bit boring to drive, and expensive to buy, but a good resale value.
January 11, 2010well its a nice looking car with a good aerodynamic body .. when it comes to performance, acceleration is awesom with the Vtech engine and the CVT multitronic transmission. handling of course is much better when compared to other japanese makes that are in stock conditon... economy wise, its got two modes, in the D mode that is in normal driving it does about 15km/l but wen d sports mode is turned on it does only about 8 km/l..
December 29, 2008This was my first new car, and first Honda, in 10 years only two flat tires, other than that zero problems, I can tell this car will go forever, nice presence for a car made in 2003, I would highly recommend Honda.
June 3, 2013I own a 2003 civic ex coupe and has only had a few minor issues . 02 sensor, horn stopped working for a bit but then started working again . It currently has 313486 miles and counting. Drives straight, starts every time, and no rattles. Road noise is just a little louder than I would prefer but i have learned to ignore it.
July 6, 2024I like that it is very fuel economic, easy to steer, very dependable, easy maintenance, HONDA vehicles keep their value up, great car for school or work, second owner, has power locks/ windows/ mirrors. Have no complaints about this car.
January 30, 2012Honda Civic is the most fuel efficient car, recommend this for you to own it and buy it from Honda. If you are a Honda driver you can save money. 40mpg and very low maintenance cost, excellent quality and design work.
