My Honda Civic... gotta love the gas mileage.
I have recently bought a new 2006 Honda Civic EX and I'm loving it. Yes, it doesn't have the nav system nor the push button start ignition ... leather seating ... a lot of luxury perks, but what it does give me is good mileage compared to my former love ... my 1998 Nissan Maxima GXE. Yes, she was my ex and I miss her, but with age, she had to retire.
I wasn't planning to buy a new a car, but with my "Maxipad" I noticed there were going to be some mechanical problems that needed to be fixed - the shocks/struts, the front axel, and the tires would've needed replacement before the winter came. So at this point where the car needs to be fixed here and there, it'll never stop .. so I decided to get something economical and something that would give me good gas mileage. I looked around and the Civic was definitely worth the money - the EX basically comes with everything. The only real option is the NAV and that was something I did not need - I have the NAV in my head and I have Mapquest.. hehehe.
Besides the full tank the dealer gives you, I have filled up the car twice since then. The first time was at the 1/4 tank which costed me $30 (super - SUNOCO). I got 300 miles from the dealer fill up. The second time I filled up costed me $35 (super - BP) which I filled up when the light came up. And I got 400 miles (from the SUNOCO fill up). Not too bad at all...
I think I have more love for the Civic then I have had for the Maxima....
