This is my 2nd Civic. 200K on the first, a 1993 DX, and 30K on this car. Never had to repair either one, ever! Flawless reliability. Routine mainenance only. Absolute perfection.
Although not nearly as good as my 93, I still average 40mpg+ hwy, and perhaps 35mpg local. This was among the best available in the 2005 MY, and not bad for a mid size sedan.
My 1993 went 200K mi, and is still driven today by a friend. Flawless reliability, 48mpg hwy. Just an absolutly perfect commuter and runabout. My 05 is larger and more comfortable, but gets worse mpg. Perfect if your looking for a good mid size sedan.
