The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Occasional problems on this vehicle are failures of the Evaporative (EVAP) Canister Vent Solenoid and Catalytic Converter that are part of the Emission Controls. These problems can cause the Check Engine light to illuminate. Another occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the Engine Wire Harness. The Wire Harness can short out under the Intake Manifold and cause Fuse #15 to fail. If Fuse #15 fails, the Check Engine Light will illuminate and the Speedometer will be erratic. The cost to replace the EVAP Canister Vent Solenoid is estimated at $49.33 and $32.50 for labor. The cost to replace the Catalytic Converter is $1115.00 for California models, with $65 for labor. The cost to repair the Wire Harness is estimated at $10.00 for parts and $84.50 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65.00 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Summary:
|
Restyled, it remains America's favorite small car.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com
Somewhere within the wide range of Civics available is a car certain to please almost any compact car buyer. If economy is the primary motivator, any will do, with top honors going to the base coupe. Our test sedan is rated thirstiest of the bunch, and we still managed a 32-mpg average. Luxury, in a relative sense, is available as well, though the price for a full load of amenities puts the Civic up against base versions of larger, more substantial cars.The easy part is deciding to make the Civic a primary candidate while small-car shopping. The complexities begin when deciding which of the 17 available body style/powerplant/transmission packages best suits your needs. |
|
Overview:
|
For the past two years, the Honda Civic has dominated the small-car sales charts. That makes it not only a prime candidate for new customers, but also a well-defined target for every carmaker playing in the same league. For Honda, the Civic is a trademark car with a successful track record extending back more than 30 years. And the latest line of Civics seem poised to continue the winning streak. How can this phenomenon be explained? For starters, clever engineering, good assembly quality and a comprehensive menu of standard and optional features create an entry-level car that provides more than basic transportation. The expected virtues -- primarily fuel economy and small exterior dimensions -- are there, but good looks, comfort and better-than-average driving pleasure are also integral parts of the Civic driving experience. Better yet, these attributes apply to all Civics, regardless of equipment level. But there is another element that keeps the Civic on top. The small Honda is not one car, but several. In sedan form, it is a family hauler. But in hatchback or coupe trim it's a sporty runabout. It can be the stingiest of gas-sippers or deliver more performance than you might expect, depending on which engine is installed. Against members of its class, the Civic has been the pick of the litter for several years. It still is.
