I've had a 2007 Civic EX sedan for a few months now. Excellent vehicle, fun to drive, best in class safety, great value; it's our 4th Honda in a row, and I expect no issues for the next decade! Our 1996 Civic still runs without any trouble, only routine maintenance. Also, the new Accord is also a great value, if you want a larger, luxurious car; we have one older Accord now and one in the past. What you hear about Hondas is so true; it's a smart choice.
