It is only a four cylinder, so it does not accelerate quickly.
I do not like not having power windows or locks. I do not like how compact the car is compared to a mid-size vehicle. I love having the air conditioner working producing cold air, I like how it conserves on gas.

Alsatian blue Honda Civic
My right passenger tire has gone flat at least 2 times per year but my dealership is amazing at replacement. No issues with my car, she's gorgeous and great on gas. I've driven her thousands of miles (more than your average) and she's done great. My paint color is Alsatian blue which is gorgeous and she looks really sporty. The interior is difficult to clean because of my Dalmatian but the exterior looks great when polished.

The perfect car for absolutely anyone.
My car has absolutely never given me any problems as far as anything that is really hard to get fixed. The battery has gone out once before I moved into to college. I love the color of it and all of the features that come with the car. I love that I have AUX cord capabilities, as well as access to Bluetooth and a CD port.
accountCircle Tammy R
Very reliable. I expect to have it for many years still.
I have had very few problems with it. I bought it used with about 59000 miles on it and have only had to do standard maintenance. Very comfortable. Not fancy. Roll up windows. No USB hookup. Great for the 5000 I paid for it though.
accountCircle Thomas M
It is a very tough car for its age. It is a very dependable car.
I like that it is a manual shift. I like how good it is on gas. I dislike the fact that the motor locked up. We had to replace the motor.
accountCircle Kenny G
It's Red and that's my favorite color
I really like my civic, it's super good on gas and has not given me any issues. Wise it had power windows but I've gotten used to the manual ones. The upkeep on it isn't much so if you was on a budget then I'd highly recommend it. Another thing I like about it is that it's super easy to move through traffic because of the size

Its a awesome and reliable car
I love my 2000 Honda Civic ex it is reliable, easy to fix, heat on gas, everything on the car is original except the radiator we replaced that recently. I just love my sunroof that's what sold me the car. If I had to choose to get another car it would be another Honda Civic ex

Great family little family car to have and afford.
Body isn't the best, it can for sure use more durable parts, I love everything about it though, the gas is amazing, the space is great and for sure gets me where I have to go. Bestinvest ever. I'll for sure keep and just upgrade the car itself. My first family care is here for good!

The back left door won't open, and you probably need to get it checked every few months or before major trips
It's super old, so we are always having to take it to the shop. It runs okay, but my boyfriend bought it from a sketchy guy, so it could have definitely been better
accountCircle Terry C
My car gets terrible gas mileage.
It seems always be breaking down lately cannot afford to keep putting money into a dead horse first it was the radiator then it was the break then it was the battery nickel dining me.
accountCircle Logan J
Others should know that my car is very old.
The vehicle does not have air conditioning, it is old and loud. It does not run well at all. It will cost a lot of money to fix the air and I do not have money so that is an issue. I need a whole new car but cannot afford that.
accountCircle Jessica M
Perfect and reliable for beginners.
It makes very loud noises, the battery dies too much, there is no AUX cord option. It is overall very old now. When the battery is new. It is very reliable. I can drive it for many miles. It gets me to work on time. It is very small but spacious. It is very easy to drive if you are a beginner.
accountCircle Genesis G
Nonna Car Old but reliable
It is a very reliable car but the only reason I hate it is because it is a very old vehicle that has a horrible color. The green and non-leather interior is really unappealing. But Honda is a reliable car always. A 2000 car and still in great conditions. Definitely would recommend just get a better color and interior
accountCircle Georgia D
Great mileage,38 miles to the gallon!.
Just too small to go camping. Not enough ground clearance for the roads where I like to go. For example big bend state park or the beach.
accountCircle Carolyn A
Honda Civic: basic but reliable.
My car is very reliable—has hardly ever needed anything fixed, and when it does it is inexpensive. The car looks awful—the body is falling apart, but it still drives great. Minnesota winters are hard on any car. It is till gets good gas mileage—around 30 in the summer, a little less in winter.
accountCircle Brooke S
May be ugly in the outside but a good car on the inside.
I personally do not like my car because it is too low to the ground, my steering wheel is so big that my knees touch when I try to get out, it rattles and crackles, the exhaust packing is wore out and the wheels are ugly. Other than the appearance it is a sound motored vehicular device.

Honda Vehicles yes and why.
Fast and zippy for the price! Si trim the sporty version of a economical sports car. Great for traffic and joy. Feeling of power without the burden of heavy gas usage like the V6 and V8 models. Handling is superb versus others in its class. The price is so competitive that you can't say not to it. Functional and Economically sound vehicle.

Depending on the condition, a 2000 Honda Civic costs around $3,500.00. It could run a little more or less depending on it's condition.
