Crazy. That certainly seems to be an outlier.I know an Accord driver who seems to have gotten two lemons in a row. I've been in both cars and seen for myself all the electrical stuff going wrong in relatively new, first owner vehicles. Seems like he's had a lot of difficulty getting these issues resolved and a few he just seems to have decided to live with, like power locks that don't work on all the doors. I don't know how common that is but I'd do more homework than to just rely on Honda's historical reputation as a car that you can drive forever.

Nothing wrong with a Civic. Had an 86 CVCC and an 89 Si (zoom pod)
That said, I just picked up the last year of the Golf to be sold in the US with a 6 spd manual -- the original and still best hatchback econobox ever made.

Sir I must say you are spot on. I was guilty of neglecting maintenence on my Acura. Timing belt broke. Messed up the head. In total repairs were $2800.
Hey I leased a Honda Civic in 2015 for 3 years and it was a great car and then I bought this one in 2018 and it is great, only changeGood reliable car? Looking to maybe buy one this weekend
Honda makes good cars in general. Every car company has some lemons/bad years. But you have a really good chance of getting a good vehicle with a lightly used Civic like that. Make sure you get a history report on the specific car and make sure it hasn't been through a flood or something.Good reliable car? Looking to maybe buy one this weekend
