What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Honda Civic

"Extremely reliable!"

"We’ve owned this civic for years now and other than routine maintenance, the only thing we’ve had to replace was a speaker. It has a few small quirks (shaking windshield wipers, shakes when ac is on at a stop) but it got us to and from work all season safely. Sadly though it needs repainted because the sun has taken its tool on the car after 16 years."

"I LOVE MY CAR"

"I bought this car with 5 miles on it. I drove it back and forth all through college and pharmacy school. I moved out of town in 2007 (about 200 miles away) and continue to drive back and forth all the time. I now have almost 120,000 miles on it and with the 4th kid on the way, my husband is finally making me sell it to get something bigger. I have never had any issues with this car. It has been wonderful, reliable, comfortable, and an all around great car."

"238,000 so far, need I say more?"

"No major repairs. Did oil changes every 3000 or 3500 when you need to or not ...was putting 23K on a year commuting. I think that helped the longevity."
