I hear ya on the college costs, have a senior, junior & freshman in school right now. I would never have bought any car actually, but the '03 Sentra was having problems that the dealer couldn't get right after 7 attempts. The 3/36 basic warranty had just run out and with a small inheritance dropped in my lap, felt G-d had put all my ducks in a row, so I bought. I really wished that the '08 Corolla had been out in June so I could have done some back to back drives to help make a informed decision. Unfortunately, this didn't happen though the spy pic I saw of the Corolla looked nice, sort of a mini Camry. But never had owned a Honda product before, I am quite pleased with the Civic. Everything is where it needs to be and the power is more than enough for me. A win win as far as I'm concerned. The Sandman

Replying to: quietspirit (Nov 11, 2006 5:01 pm) I'm driving my 1996 Honda Accord that is closing in on 170,000 miles, and it has only cost me $620 in repairs ($300 for a main cooling fan motor at 131,000 miles, and $320 for a brake master cylinder at 155,000 miles). Still no problems from ANY engine components at all, and gives me 28 MPG in mixed driving. I drive it daily.

Replying to: backy (Nov 12, 2006 2:03 pm) What you said is likely correct though, if he was looking at a new one. The long-established Corolla would be a safer bet than a first year model, although it seems the Civic is doing fairly well. Problem with getting a Corolla is falling asleep at the wheel... lol. They are nice little cars, but its like driving a yawn on wheels.

Replying to: thegraduate (Nov 12, 2006 2:18 pm)  From all the problems being reported in Town Hall, I wonder whether the new Civic is doing fairly well. Hard to tell how many people are affected by those problems, however.

Replying to: backy (Nov 12, 2006 2:46 pm) From all the problems being reported in Town Hall, I wonder whether the new Civic is doing fairly well. Hard to tell how many people are affected by those problems, however. Right, I'm glad SOMEONE will admit it! Problems seem magnified on the boards (for all vehicles), because that's all the problems boards are for. Many other buyers are likely not experiencing these problems. I remember the new Camry that everyone thought was falling apart, when in reality, it was 160 vehicles out of hundreds of thousands. I happen to like the digital dash (I'm 19, so that may explain it for you), it was very easy to see without taking my eyes of the road for long. I don't remember the suspension being hard or soft, so I really can't comment on that. I HAVE logged a lot of miles in my (now ex-) girlfriend's Corolla. That thing had major rattle issues, and didn't fit anybody over 5'10" comfortably (i'm 6'4" for goodness sakes!). Not a bad car, but anything but overwhelmingly great. I'm off to church for the night, I'll check-in with everybody later! |
