I swear by my Civic. I will be getting another one when I replace this one. Mine is a '99 and the only repairs I have ever had to do to it were replace the AC blower motor and an oil seal. They are comfortable, feel sturdy and not like a little tin can, and get good gas mileage. If you do your homework, you can probably find a really good one used. Mine, for example, only has 65k miles and has been well taken care of. It looks like a new car just about. It's only missing that new car smell. Whoever buys it is going to get an fantastic used car. Search hard. They are out there.
