| Civics do not have strong A/Cs. I live in FL and I have an 04 Civic and an 01 Accord. The Accord has a great A/C, but the Civic is just adequate in the summer. It takes a while to get cold and even then, it's not like my Accord. I drove several of Civics over the past couple of years and they all were on the weak side in the middle on summer. This shortcoming has been posted on this board several times before. I almost didn't buy the car because of it, but in the end I decided it was the best car for the money. Just be aware of this shortcoming before you buy. As far as an extended warranty, you don't need one. This is one of the most reliable cars made. Save your money! | |

I just purchased a 2004 Civic Coupe EX, manual, no SRS, in red for $15,700. (MSRP $17,350) I'm extremely happy with my experience and the deal I got. They are also giving me a great deal on my trade. I bought from Weymouth Honda in MA. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Boston area. I was *this* close to purchasing a 2002 from another dealership for $14,000 but the salesman would not move on the price. So for $1,700 more, I'm getting a brand new car. I'm really very, very happy.

| It is too hopeful for a person to want a brand new Civic for 1,000$ off invoice? I consider myself an excellent haggler. BTW, I am in the Seattle metro area. | |
I have the choice to either obtain a 2002 Civic EX coupe or remain with my current car, a 1998 Accord LX sedan. The Civic offers a lot more than what I already have (moonroof, keyless entry, better pickup) but my one concern is that I'm a 6'0, 180 lb student. The Accord has always been a comfortable car and I love the Civic, but the issue of headroom concerns me. Are there any other larger drivers that can advise me?

Replying to: kw_carman (Aug 29, 2004 5:36 pm) I think the 1998 accord has decent acceleration, and sunroof will diminish your headroom. The best civic for guys like us is the new Si. This is the only Civic I am able to sit up straight, without the 45° angle in the seatback to clear the roof line. And by the way, I was able to load up a 27 inch TV in the box into the hatch with no problems, plus I still had my junk in there as well. |

| Just purchased a Civic DX at Bernardi Honda in Natick MA. The experience was reasonable and efficient. The price was $12650 exclusive of tax and title and the only option was a CD player. | |

I got a special quote from Honda East in Columbus OH for $14,799 + tax & fees. At this time of the year, what do you think of this quote? I'm supposed to give the Internet Manager a call later today. Do you think it's too much for me to ask him that for quote he gave me it should include mud/splash guard, cargo tray, door edge guard, and fenderwell trim? I was tempted to ask the Convenience Package to be included but I was wondering if I stretch it too far and lose the deal, which honestly is much better than what a local dealer here in this small town where I live gave me couple days ago.

Replying to: cptsesso (Aug 03, 2004 3:34 pm) paid 16273 +TTL = 17500. Carsdirect price wwas 16650. I'm presuming this was a good deal. Can you guys confirm? Also, when I got the car, there was 80 miles on it, even though the paperwork said 15. Should I be concerned about this? I think its from dealerships swapping the car back and forth. It drives great. Gas peddle is a little loose and sunroof rubber seal sticks up a bit in the front, both of which the dealership says is a quick fix. |
