'98 CIVIC
This is my second car I have purchased. I've had this car for around 6 or 7 years now and it's been a great car! Cheap on fuel and very affordable to maintain (well, for the most part cheap to maintain, with the exception with the odd thing going every couple of years i.e.. battery, fuel exhaust pipe, but these I would expect given that it is an older car. Overall, its been a great car!

Affordable Tuner
This is my dad's car. Really fun car to drive and super reliable and really good on gas. It hasn't been driven in the winter and has been kept in great condition. Great tuner car considering the year. the motor only has 40K on it and was built brand new and hasn't been driven by anybody else besides myself and my father.

Perfect ride and value for money
Well, its the best we can have. A perfect ride and value for money. Buy it or sell it, it retains its value, drives great and requires very less maintenance. Safety wise also, quite reliable though being an old horse.

Great car all year round
This car was purchased ten years ago. It was my first ride and I have taken care of it since the day the previous owner handed over the keys. It has not let me down ever since. It is a very reliable car at all extreme temperatures. Rides smoothly in winter conditions. I have taken good care of the vehicle and therefore it has been well maintained. Presently there is little maintenance required (according to buyer preference). With a little TLC this care is more than capable of running at least another 4-5 years problem free or maintenance free. Won't disappoint you!

Amazing
My dad has owned this car for 15+ years now and it hasn't given him a single problem. He just went over 325000 km last month. He loves the car, he has a new car but he just loves driving his civic. He took good care of it and it took good care of him. There is rust now, the back seat is ripping, the roof paint is chipping etc but the engine and the transmission are still going strong.

1998 Honda Civic Si (Amazing Front Wheel Drive sports car!)
Ive been driving a 1998 Civic Si for the past year now and I think ive lived with the car long enough to give a review of it. In short the 1998 Honda Civic Si is a FANTASTIC FWD sports car. Honda was the first company to start this trend of Front Wheel Drive, econmical and affordable sports cars and it all started with this model.

The exterior is really nice and still has a nice look to it today (they obviously tried to copy the style of the BMW M3 and thats 100% okay). The car has a FANTASTIC 4 cylinder engine that produces 130 hp and makes the 2600 pound car move very quickley thanks to its awesome VTEC techonolgy. Top Gear even said once that Honda's 4 cylinder VTEC engines are the best 4 cylinder engines ever built.

Because of its racing tuned suspension the civic si is SUPER STIFF. It feels beautiful on new roads and is AMAZING in the corners and the grip is beyond incredible, but as soon as you hit one tiny bump you feel how stiff it is. Hitting pot holes and speed bumps in this car will break all your bones.

The interior is really nice and super easy. Its got EVERYTHING that you could possibly need (before 2000) and even a sunroof. My si came with all the options and was fully loaded.

Gas mileage is not too good on this car though only getting about 300-350 kilometers on a full tank of gas but because of its small tank it only costs $40 to fill up and thats good!

Overall the 1998 Honda Civic Si is a great car for someones first car or for someone who wants a sporty, reliable front wheel drive sports car with a trunk that can actually be used! (trunk space is actually really good)! Its stiff and fast and has a really nice sound to it espically when the VTEC kicks in at around 4,000 RPM! The 4 speed automatic transmission is also good but gear changes are very rough and noticable.

A wonderful long-term ride
I drove this car for a long time, on a long job. I bought it used. It rarely gave me trouble, and was fantastic, from start to finish. I've pushed it past 200,000km, and plan to drive it until it dies, which I don't suspect will happen for another 5 or 10 years at least!

Not flashy, but great vehicle
We bought this car used. Even being a few years old and with more than a few KM on it, our Honda is still fantastic. Not a ton of room inside, but great fuel economy and great reliability. Would definitely recommend this car, especially as a first car

Decent
I really don't know, now that I think about it. I found a nice one-owner with 124K. After two years it has 175K and the only thing that has not been routine maintenance has been some rust thru the exhaust system. That's it. Brakes/tires, fluids, filters, and spark plugs. That's all I've had to touch. Everything works. I've owned a lot of high mileage cars b/c I prefer them for various reasons but this one acts half it's age. It also beasted thru the Appalachian mountains loaded with myself and about 250lbs of military gear, so don't underestimate the power under the hood. And I average 35 mpg.

old faithful
i bought this car a year and a half ago, its a rebuild. it runs smoothly, and isnt too bad on gas. best car ive ever owned although its only my fourth. been burglarized once, and i recall the civic being top spot in thefts in a report years ago in the province newspaper so im not sure if owning a civic makes you a target for this. the other day i got hit by a cement truck and my civic still gets me to work! so sad its got a big dent in the front passenger side fender now.

Bought it old. Had minor problems, but it still runs fine. I didn't have high expectations. For the price I bought it at, it is pretty good. I like the exterior design; very simple and dainty.

Civics Last Forever
I am a stay at home mom with two small kids and didn't think the cvic would be able to meet my needs (I owned it before becoming a mom). It fits our family of four with no trouble at all. I live in Edmonton, AB where the snow gets crazy sometimes and the cold is unbearable. My civic never failed me once. It has been a fantastic car and it's definitely bittersweet to get something new.

It might not be fancy, or expensive but they'll last forever if you take good care of them. Fuel economy is comparable to brand new cars and it's just as comfortable as any. You can even get most modern power options.

This is an incredible car with very well thought out interior designs. Although the exterior styling does not look futuristic, it has a sleek touch, emphasizing that the car is in no way outdated. The suspensions work pretty well, making rides a lot smoother.

Good yet bad.
I've have many good moments and some bad with in and with this car. I love the memories but it's time get a new car in the future. It's kind of old school and I need an up date. A 25 year old car like this one needs some work and it's just as easy as buying a new one.
