Cons: Cheap plastic interior, small, slow, kinda ugly, it's a Honda

I just got a '96 Civic EX 4-door as a daily driver. I have a '68 Mustang that I used to drive day-to-day, but at 15mpg, the gas bills piled up and I was gassing up every other day. The Stang is now sitting next to my '58 Caddy as an occasional fun ...

I Purchased a 1996 Honda Civic Ex. It now has 40,000 miles on it and I have had no problems at all. The car responds exactly as I expected, it is reliable and the quality is unsurpassed. When I decided a compact would suit my needs I looked and...

Cons: cupholder, gear shift

Yes, I have named my Honda Civic. His name is Bert. Like the Sesame Street character. I even have a little stuffed Bert buckled into the back seat.

Why do I mention this? Because this car has been such a great part of my life that I...

Cons: none aside from disadvantages of compact cars

It is going to be a sad day when my 1996 Honda Civic LX Sedan begins to die on me.

Pros: everything
Cons: A little cramped in the back for tall adults

I bought a Honda Civic brand new in 1996. This was my very first new car. There is nothing that I don't love about that car. It was roomy for a compact car, and the performance was outstanding. I got somewhere in the vicinity of 30+ miles to the gallon....

Pros: Reliable, Economical, Comfortable and Dependable.
Cons: Expensive stereo upgrade

Cons: Slightly underpowered, transmission gear ratios too long.

I acquired my 1996 Civic LX Sedan, stick shift, in 2003. It was $8800 tax, tag, and title. A bit steep, but the car was in great shape. Being my first car, I had little to compare it to, but after driving many other cars, I have to say that it had been ...

Pros: reliable, practical
Cons: somewhat boring, problems with acceleration

Yes, okay, this car is boring. Let's face the facts. A friend of mine recently said to me, "I thought you were going to be boring because you owned a Honda Civic."

Beyond this, however, the Civic is a reliable, peppy little...

Pros: Good Value, Roomy
Cons: Don't have any

I bought my Honda Civic 5 years ago. After shopping for various vehicles I found that it was the most economic. I had a Honda Accord before and had put over 90,000 miles on it and not had a bit of trouble. I am in outside sales and have put about...

Pros: Sporty body for compact, great handling, MPG pleasing, excellent re-sale
Cons: If you're buying the Civic, you're missing out on the Accord

I bought a 1996 Honda Civic new over 3 years ago. I drive it 120-150 miles per day to and from my place of work. I traded in a full sized conversion van for the Honda because I needed something with a lot better gas mileage.
I love this car. I...

Cons: to many people have them

I recently bought my 1996 honda civic ex and i absolutily love it, it is sporty yet roomy enough to take four abults on long road trips. I have put about 4,000 miles on since I got it on top of the 42,000 that i started with and I average about 22mpg in...

Pros: Reliable car
Cons: Adding oversized tires created a problem

My son has a 96 Civic EX. He put 17" tires and wheels on the car. Now the back right tire rubs when he hits a bump. It is like the shock is gone. But, he had it checked and Honda said the shocks are OK. It only rubs on one side. I am afraid it...

Pros: low cost, great mileage 30-35MPG
Cons: SMALL COMPACT

Cons: NONE

Of course, I've always driven used cars. So, when my third used American made car had bitten the dust, I decided international travel may be the way to go. My research consisted mainly of counting the types of cars that were on the side of the road and...

Pros: Gas Mileage. Reliability. Value. Small exterior Size yet large interior.
Cons: Plastic interior.

i have had a 2 door Civic DX manual 5speed since it was brand new back in 1996 and it has been no worries. i just change the oil every 3500 miles and actually have become lazy recently and skipped some services and the Honda still drives like a dream.

Pros: I get great gas mileage ~ 30-35 miles a gallon. Small exterior makes it easy to find parking spot yet the interior is very spacious (especially if the rear seats are folded down) Extremely reliable, I've had the car since 1996 and i have had no major issues with it. NOT one. I've also been in a moderate accident in the car(rear ended a car going about 30mph) and was able to walk away uninjured. Aesthetically, it is a good looking car.

Cons: Cheap plastic exterior. Everyone has a civic (might bother some).

Pros: its fast
Cons: none

it was the best car i have ever ridden in. it handles great. when i turn 16 i am going to buy a Honda an put a new muffler on it. this car has so much potential.
