  • Best package ever - 1996 Honda Civic
    By -

    I have had this car for one year. It has 75k on it now had 69k when I bought it. There have been ZERO problems, and Ive grown to love it more and more. The engine cant be better-- it has a suprising amount of power for the fuel economy that it gets. I now believe if you buy any other subcompact car, you are either really braindead or havent done your research.

  • good car to own - 1996 Honda Civic
    By -

    This car is great. Not only is it easy to find aftermarket parts for it, but its easy to install and makes a great difference to the car. O bought the car @ 155,000 miles and the engine is still running strong. The person who had it before me took care of it very well. All you got to do is do the usual maintenence such as oil changes and tune ups, and this car will last for a long time. This is my sixth car and by far this is the most reliable car Ive had. Simple bolt ons can be put into the car to improve performance and handling such as intake, new shocks & springs, and strut bars.

    I bought this car new in college in Jan. 1996 - it is Feb 2003 and I only replaced the muffler (due to the Chicago winters). This car is TOPS for Quality and Reliability. It HAS 159,000 miles on it and I expect 250k problem free miles. Love it and will keep it as long as possible. One wash every so often and it STILL looks new!!

    This is a very good car. Its reliable and fun to drive. I initially purchased the car for my daughter. She drove it for the first 20,000 miles. I took it over after two years. I have been driving the car for 80,000 miles. I have not had any problems. The car is ready for its 100,000 mile service and I look forward to the next 100,000 miles.

  • Why I LOVE My Honda - 1996 Honda Civic
    By -

    In the 6 years Ive owned this car, and with 2-3 oil changes a year, Ive never had to worry about it starting on cold/hot days or breaking down on side of road. I was recently in accident going 35-40 mph. Was VERY pleased with the lack of damage to front of body. Seat belt didnt hurt me and air-bags did NOT unnecessarily deploy. Very happy.

  • Worlds Best Value - 1996 Honda Civic
    By -

    Needed a car for my daughter. Wanted to spend $5000. With some shopping some 96s can be found at that price. Had already bought one Honda Civic on Ebay and it worked out..took another chance. This one had been hit. Dealer didnt disclose. Out side of that, the car runs as expected. 115,000 miles and the steering is tighter than my $30,000 Oldsmobile with 40,000 miles.

  • VERY RELAIABLE CAR - 1996 Honda Civic
