But this car is affordable, most that I see are about 5000.00 - 8000.00

And you cant beat the mileage it gets.

Answer 3

the civic is the #1 tuner car and will turn 35-40 mpg hwy depending on your driving and transmission.

the only issue is that they hold resale value so well you overpay for them used.

Answer 4

I am the owner of a 2002 honda civic ex. I bought it used with 112K miles on it. I kind of regret buying it because i have had so many problems with it. Here's the list:

Radiator leak

Window Motor on both sides in the front died had to replace

The stock car jack didn't work when i needed it

A squeaking sound in the back

Hood will not stay down

Oil leaking at the bottom

other then these things it's a okay car, it hasn't died on me yet.  

Answer 5

they are overall a good car, but if you want to tune it, then it sounds like you may be wanting to race, or tune it for fuel mileage. If you tune to race, dont expect a hole lot of dependable miles, they are bad for leaking oil and engine just blowing up if ran hard. I have pulled honda engines, raced against them and my mom has one. 197000 miles and she takes extreme care of it with the help of my dad, and still leaks oil like crazy exhaust is bad for leaking around gaskets on manifold, and in the neck of the exhaust. Stinks too. Really reconsider. One person got 300k miles out of one, now everybody thinks they can, but I read ratings and followed car and driver, believe me, you overpay when buying a used one because the value is too HIGH. Not worth half of what its rated. Witnessed too much firsthand. I will not gain anything by telling you this, I just want you to know the truth. God Bless

Answer 6

yes it is good to tune. you can expect 30-47 mpg with a turbo, exhaust, and a chip.
