the merits of a Civic
After driving an older 4 WD Nissan pickup for 5 years and burning a big hole in my bank account, I finally jumped at the chance to buy a 1999 Honda Civic this past spring from a good friend of mine who needed to unload it since she was joining the Peace Corps. Even though it had 110,000 miles on it, I knew the car had been wonderfully maintained. I've not regretted it at all. And gas mileage? Hang on to your gas pumps. I recently took it on an extended vacation and averaged 41 mpg, with one tank producing a whopping 51, driving 75 mph with a/c. I'm not kidding! I never get less than 33 in the city. Plus, the car is an LEV (low emissions vehichle). The only modification I've done to the car is install an electronic cruise control unit, which I think helped tremendously on the open road. Yep, they are one fine automobile! On Umbra on used cars posted 4 years, 1 month ago 16 Responses
