| 2012 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 1.8L I4 5-speed automatic FWD |
We owned a 2000 Civic EX sedan for 13 years and 130K miles, which gave us very dependable service at a moderate running cost. Based on this we traded it in for a 2012 model. So far it has continued to provide solid, reliable transportation. full 2012 Honda Civic review |

My 1993 4door DX was replaced this spring by a 2009 DX-VP. It had 203,000 miles. Required one non-scheduled repair. Chicago gridlock, roads, salt corrosion, potholes and the fact I got in 1995 when I was 16year old jackass took toll on it. Tough and Mean! full 2009 Honda Civic review |

Always wanted the Honda and got it. After owning it for a few years the desire has totally worn off. Just feel that Honda is living on namesake alone. Definitely should test drive others before settling. full 2007 Honda Civic review |
