This review is about my purchase of a used 2003 Honda Civic which I purchased in December, 2010.

First I must say, I absolutely love my 1997 Lincoln Town Car.  It is the most sensational car I have ever owned and although I have owned, driven and was a passenger in many other cars,... Read full review »

Pros Cost-effective, you get your money's worth, and beyond reliable.
Cons That I paid full sticker price- I leased, then bought the same vehicle.
Recommended it? Yes

I signed a 4-year lease on a 2003 Honda Civic LX on May 31, 2003. For $172/month, it was the best deal I could find (I didn't want anything over $200.) The closest that anybody came at that time was about $198 for a Chevy product, but I had my heart set on a Honda. I've always had luck with Hondas... Read full review »

I purchased my used 2003 Civic w/ 28,000 miles on it from a local dealership.

I also had m mechanic check the car out prior to purchase just to be... Read full review »

I have a 2003 Honda Civic coupe EX. I bought it in 2003. Since I am a college student I needed a dependable car that got good gas mileage because my school was about 70 miles away both ways.

Pros Great handling, minimal gas consumption, durable, roomy.
Cons Minor annoying problems common in the line. Would recommend purchasing extended warranty.

We bought this car brand new and haven't looked back since. It's a nice, stylish sedan that you don't mind taking other people out in and it also has a sporty feel to it and accelerates quickly when you need it to. It's great on gas, which has been essential when the gas prices soar. We have the... Read full review »

Cons Lower than mfgr mileage; seats suck and cup holder incorrectly placed

If you do not like in Northern Virginia this may not be a big deal for you - but in NoVA the hybrid is allowed on all Interstates where there is HOV2/3 (High Occupancy Vehicle) limits on minimum number of passengers.

The hybrid is a greater commuter car - gives decent mileage (better than... Read full review »
