A nice, well balanced vehicle. Although the Civic isn't a super-star in any one category (not the fastest in the class, not the cheapest, not the prettiest, etc.), the Civic is legendary for its reliability and its resale value. This is my 3rd Honda product and I love it. 30,000 miles in 15 months! Not so much as a hick-up from anything!
Looked at the Jettas before buying the Civic I have now, but why lay out the extra $2000 or more for a Jetta with similar equipment (and the Jetta still gets worse mileage with its way under-powered 115hp 2liter). Not to mention the Civic is a ULEV (Jetta is LEV).
Maybe the next Honda for me will be the Civic hybrid at 50+mpg!
