I had civic ex 2001 coupe and bought it new kept it for 6 years and sold it and had no problem at all. Hondas are Very nice cars and that's way I bought again civic ex 2007 but 4 door for my family and this car is really the best for the money. Very efficient in any way. And My next car will be Honda again. Si are with more power and a little bit more options and few thousands more. The chose is yours. Good luck.
