I own a 08 civic lx. I'm 20 yrs. old and love to practice automotive operations with this car. Not that i want to be a mechanic, but i like to mess with performance. I love this car! Never have had any problems at all. Very reliable car. Great for "first car".
The Civic is just great for almost everyone for all kinds of needs. Its 1.8L engine even has the fuel efficiency of a 1.5L engine when it's cruising, fantastic job Honda :]...!!!
I have a 19 yr old civic which smaller than this one but it still runs great. I only do basic maintenance, put new tires on when needed, replaced batteries a few times. I changed the timing belt every 100k km. Now it has nearly 500 thousand km on it. It seems that it can go another 500k km. I think nothing can beat a Honda. BTW, my motorcycle is a honda too. It is 21 yr old and it has more than 300k km.
i drive one... my comments on the car... plenty of plastic inside and it rattles (this isn't honda's plauge but any cheap car really)...the body is light and soft... in the old heavy buick the doors were made of solid steel and it was much more difficult to create a dent... this thing any smallest touch of the car parked next to you (dont even get me started on people) you've got a dent. other than that it's a perfect car.... once you drive with the split dash it's hard to go back...
@UselessBrokenDog It's also worth noting that several "foreign" car makers get car parts and build cars here in the US, even exporting OUT of the US, including Honda and Toyota.
haha fuck you American cars suuuck. and plus..have you ever looked on alot of Aapanese cars...they usually say made in indiana or some shit like that. plus if you want your car to break down every few hundred miles then you go ahead and get your American car. i personally have a Subaru STi and wouldnt trade it for annnything
lol very true. i have a civic also. but the only american car that i buy is a big truck. which i happen to have. i own a 2009 GMC yukon denali. runs like a charm. but for cars like a civic. the ford focus , or the chevorlet coblt can't match japanese cars.
its not just oil y filter changes but u need to flush the brake system y change the tranny fluid.

just wait till your tires wear unevenly due to bad control arms and you have to replace them at 10K miles at your own expense.

Economy my ass. The only economy I'm concerned about is the one affecting my bank account.
American car makers want people to buy their cars? Then they should make better cars.
Not sit there and whine about how they are going out of business because no one is buying their cars.
P.S. I just bought a civic.

thats probably because u don't know how to do preventative maintenance! Any car can last thousands of miles with proper maintenance.
