I suggest the Cavalier LS Sport or Corolla LE instead! |
Detailed review: |
I do not see what people see in the Civic. I checked it when looking for a compact sedan for better gas mileage, traction and stability than my prior car. This one is not bad on gas mileage. But it is poor on h.p. and torque. It is sluggish! And it is not available with traction control. I am not sure if it is available with 4-wheel ABS. And it was not available with a rebate. So, I could not have afforded its monthly payments, anyway. I checked around. I got the best deal on the 2003 Cavalier LS sedan. Its sunroof and fog lights may have to be dealer-installed. But I recommend it instead of the Civic EX. In fact, I even recommend the Corolla LE instead! |
