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.
