EARTHY CAR OF THE WEEK: 2004 Red Honda Civic Coupe

2004 Honda Civic EX, Coupe, Red, 84086 mi, $9,900 http://bit.ly/mnqwer Compact, 4-spd automatic, MPG = 25/34

This Civic is one of the three Honda Civic’s on our lot. Like the majority of our vehicles, the Civic’s are practical, affordable, compact, and fuel-efficient.

However, this particular Civic is special. It is one of the few compact cars on our lot that has a power sunroof. It is the only vehicle here that has a spoiler on it. It is one of the five coupes on our lot. It is bright red in color.

The look of this Civic is geared towards younger drivers. Add this to its affordable price, and it’s ideal for a college student looking for a car, or as a high school student’s first vehicle. College students, high school students, parents of high school students - consider.

EXPERT REVIEWS:

“You can't go wrong buying a Honda Civic, regardless of trim level. All are reliable, practical, and fuel efficient. Civics are fun to drive and all models offer excellent handling. EX models bring a responsive engine to the party and the Si hatchback is a hoot. All of them feature Honda's durability and reliability. Civics are available with anti-lock brakes and side-impact airbags. All models deliver high fuel economy figures, and qualify for ULEV (ultra low emissions) status.”

“Honda knew when it last redesigned its long-running Civic car a few years ago that women were important buyers. Indeed, automaker officials had a female name—Jennifer—to help describe the average Civic buyer. Officials said she was young and single.
How right they were. Fully 64 percent of today's buyers of the Civic coupe alone are women. Sixty-six percent are single, and the median age of 34 makes them "one of the youngest" buyer groups in the auto industry, said Honda spokesman Andy Boyd.”

Consumer Reports via Vehix.com: http://www.vehix.com/car-reviews/2004/honda/civic/expert-reviews/consumer-guide
“Despite test-car glitches and worrisome non-ABS braking, Civic is a clear Best Buy. It's an unmatched blend of small-car comfort, refinement, and fuel thrift, plus great resale and reliability records.”
