Advantages: Reliability, Good Service, Maintains Value

Disadvantages: Spares parts a bit pricey - but you shouldn't need many.

A very reliable and practical small car. This is my second Honda, my first was an Accord AeroDeck, which I kept for 6 years because I really liked the car.

Overall, I have been very impressed with Honda. They have a well deserved reputation for good quality and excellent reliability. The customer service which I have received from my local Honda garage is also a lesson to those who deal with other manufacturers.

The only real niggle I have with Civic is that it feels a little underpowered, especially after driving the 2 litre Accord. This is partly because you have to get the revs above 4000 before the power really begins to come in. Not ideal for a model which is spometimes regarded as "old fogies" car.

If you are not too concerned about "image" and need steady, reliable and reasonably comfortable transport, I would recommend the Civic.
