Pros: Good acceleration, Luxury car like options, Honda'a reputation.
Cons: Price, 4-wheel Discs are not an Option.
The Bottom Line: One of Honda's best economy cars got even better, this car is a must for fuel economy enthusiasts, who also like a taste of luxury.
Introduced in the 1970's as one of smallest cars sold in America, the Civic has not only grown, it has become superiorly refined, much more reliable, and on a personal note; looks especially better then ever for 2002.
The 2002...

Pros: Handling, Appearance, Reliability
Cons: Slow low end acceleration, questionable early repair issues (see review). Ultimately very happy!
The Bottom Line: I'd shop around similar models to suit individual taste, but this car probably wins out.
83K UPDATE...scroll below for 46K REVIEW. After 83K miles, and 5 years 3 months of ownership (car paid off!) I can say this was car was the perfect choice for me. Calculating the savings in gas and insurance since I traded in an ugly green SUV for this ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: cost, it's quick, good mpg, looks nice
Cons: bumpy ride, no remote trunk, small sunroof
The Bottom Line: Overall, this is a great car for a college kid or a first car. Personally, I will not buy another one because of the bumpy ride.
I lease a 2002 Honda Civic EX (blue) and am just about up on the lease. I've mostly liked the car in the time I've had it. It is quick and overall fast (I've done 120 mph, scary though) It gets great gas mileage (around 30 mpg) It is quiet on the ...

The Bottom Line: Does everything required well, spot on for the money.
I have my 2002 Honda Civic Si 2-door since new, and will clock pass 40,000 trouble-free kms today. I owned several cars in the last 10 years of both Japanese and European-made, and found the Civic to be the stress-free car to own. All I need is ...

Pros: Quick, Nimble and Economical while still very comfortable
Cons: Factory tires are poor
The Bottom Line: Refined yet economical and fun to drive, the 2002 civic is a great buy.
Quick History:
I purchased my 2002 Civic LX in Edmonton, Alberta at Millwoods Honda in May 2002. Since then, I have put on 30,000 kms (18,750miles) without a problem. The car still looks just as it did the day I drove it off the lot. All...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality construction, fuel economy, ergonomics, smooth shift action, value.
Cons: Could use more power.
The Bottom Line: I'm glad I bought my Civic. It's my first Honda, but I doubt it will be my last. It's quality, performance and peace of mind in one neat package.
If you're reading this review, it's a good bet you're trying to narrow down your choices before buying a good small car. For comparison's sake, here's a little about me before we begin. I'm a 38 year old male, and I'm 6'1" tall. I needed a car that would...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: fuel economy, build quality, quick acceleration, fun-to-drive
Cons: rear-seat room, no power or torque at low rpms
The Bottom Line: The Civic Si is fun-to-drive sports coupe that will leave smiles on the face of anybody who owns one!
The Civic Si hatchback is based on the new Honda Civic which was redesigned for 2001. The Si features its own engine that is not available to other Civics, a sport suspension, standard anti-lock brakes and a sunroof.

Pros: - Reliable, durable, affordable
- Efficient Gas Mileage
- No rear seat bump
Cons: - No remote trunk access
- Interior fabric has come loose
The Bottom Line: This is a fabulous car for a college student or commuter. I am starting to outgrow the car and would like more luxury features that the 2009 model offers.
I bought a 2002 Honda Civic EX brand new and have had it for 6 years now. I purchased this car because the price was right ($16,500) and I wanted a reliable car that I could keep for many years. I purchased the EX which is the top of the line model. I ...

Pros: zippy, low-maintenance, stylish, affordable, good gas mileage
Cons: bumpy ride, moving the seat forward, too small for some people or families
The Bottom Line: Would recommend it to people who need a reliable ride at an affordable price
I own a 2002 Honda Civic EX coupe with an automatic transmission. I have a bad left knee so I prefer to drive an automatic for that reason. I bought it used in April of 2005 after battling with a 1994 Cavalier for 4 years. It was purchased from a ...

Pros: Appearance, fuel economy, reliability, handling.
Cons: Stiff suspension on rough roads.
The Bottom Line: Buy one!
I bought my silver 2002 Honda Civic LX/G for $11000 in May 2007. It had 125K Km (I live in Canada), and was in excellent shape. For that price, I insisted on a set of 4 brand-new Michelins as well. The car came with alloy 5-spoke Honda wheels that ...

Pros: -gas mileage
-reliability
-cornering
Cons: -bland look
-noisy engine
-bumpy ride
The Bottom Line: Buy it. I especially like having a manual. But get the ABS, and, if you're me, the sunroof.
I bought my EX (manual transmission) Civic in 2004 with 27,000 miles on it. It now has 57,000 on it and is still going strong. Gas Mileage: Amazing. I coaxed 44 mpg out of it on one long winter road trip when I didn't have to use the a/c. ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Tight build quality, sweet commuter, potential for modifying
Cons: Not the right factory-installed engine for the sporty crowd; under-tired
The Bottom Line: This is the only Civic hatchback Honda will have brought to the USA between 2001 and at least 2010. Buy one, keep it stock, or play with it.
2002 - 2005 Civic Si 3-door Hatchback Ah, the nearly-forgotten-in-the-U.S. Civic that was sold in various trim levels (and even a 5-door variant) overseas but just as one model -- the Si -- in the States. Let me get you guys up to speed ...

Pros: Great gas mileage, reliability
Cons: Small trunk
The Bottom Line: It’s served us well and we’re definitely pleased with it
We got this car new after our old car was effectively totaled in an accident. In the five years and 90,000 miles we’ve had it, we haven’t had any major problems (aside from a couple of accidents due to driver error, not a product of the car ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality, reliability, great gas mileage, folding seats, sound system, fun to drive
Cons: Mediocre styling, rear leg room, some engine noise, engine low on torque
The Bottom Line: This is a great car that carries a high sticker price, but will save you in gas, repairs, and resale value.
I own a 2002 Honda Civic EX 2 door with which I have driven about 40,000 miles. It gets incredibly good gas mileage (I get 36-38 mpg driving mostly freeway)and I have had no mechanical problems with it whatsoever. It has reasonable acceleration, is fun ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good reliability, economy, styling and attention to detail.
Cons: Engine noise and stiff suspension may be a problem for some.
The Bottom Line: Economy car with status and amenities of a small luxury car when you get the EX.
Having been a previous owner of a 96 Civic LX Sedan, I purchased a new 2002 Civic EX Coupe as a satisfied repeat customer. The 02's suspension seems a little stiffer than the previous generation, and the engine seems a little louder also, but as an e ...
