Honda Civic Repair Histories
To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Honda Civic repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both the Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:
Think you might have a lemon, and want to see if other owners are having similar problems? Then this is the place to check.Honda Civic Extended Warranty
Concerned about the Honda Civic's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.
Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.
If you are unsure about the Honda Civic's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Honda Civic Gas Mileage

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions,
where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.
Michael's most recent Honda Civic review.
Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.
Honda Civic Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Honda Civic tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Honda Civic--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
