1996 Honda Civic Ex Coupe 5 Speed Great Commuter - Great Mileage - Runs Great on 2040-cars
Brentwood, California, United States
1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe 5 Speed - Great Commuter For sale is my trusty 1996 Honda Civic EX Coupe... I've had this car since 10/2006, so 8 years of its 18 year life. It's was my reliable commute partner for years before I got another high mileage newer car... I no longer need this car and, thanks to Christmas, the bills don't pay themselves.... I got this car so I wouldn't have to drive the truck I owned at the time back and forth to work. The car gets phenomenal gas mileage and has never let me down... Be it going to work or driving down to LA, over the grapevine no less, this car has always been rock solid reliable. I have personally maintained it ever since I've owned it and given it regular services (Oil, fluids, filters), "maintenance items" (Timing belt, hoses, brake pads, ignition system), as well as those necessary things when they come up (CV shafts, Bearings). It indicates 169,XXX miles, and for all intents and purposes I usually just refer to what the odometer says... But in reality the car has about 11k less miles than what is indicated... Way back at 80k miles the speedometer cluster died. I sourced a replacement from a tow/junkyard but it had 11k more miles on it... That has been the cluster ever since and I've put another 80k miles on it without any problems. The vast majority of those miles are highway miles, easy for a honda civic to gobble up. I love this little car but registration and insurance on a car I don't use anymore is just another thing making my money disappear.... I JUST SMOGGED AND REGISTERED THE CAR TODAY (1/6/14). The car passed, as it always has... With smog and reg you're good to go! I have the clean title in my hands, no fees etc... ISSUES: Appearance inside and out:
Mechanical Issues:
Good Things:
I'm sure I'm missing something in the good column... I've been good to this car for the last 8 years since it's been so good to me, and addressed any problems or maintenance needs. She's not the prettiest girl on the block when it comes to exterior appearance, but she's solid and has never let me down... If you need something to eat the miles up and commute in while not burning a ton of gas, this is the car for you... Thanks for looking! |

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
Bonkers Honda Vezel headlines Mugen's lineup at Tokyo Auto Salon
Tue, 14 Jan 2014Japanese automakers and their tuning divisions have descended upon the Makuhari Messe in Chiba City for the 2014 Tokyo Auto Salon. And for Honda, it's all about Mugen.
Honda's Japanese Domestic Market tuning division brought a series of modified concepts and racing cars to the salon this year, including the CR-Z hybrid touring car it fields in the Super GT series, the SF13 single-seater from the Super Formula series as well as customized versions of the Fit, Odyssey and N-WGN. But the prize for the most outrageous of them all surely goes to the modified Vezel you see above.
Modeled on Honda's new Fit-based crossover, the Mugen Vezel Concept goes further than the versions we've seen until now. It features a bonkers body kit, dual exhaust, brake upgrade, sport suspension, intricate 20-inch alloy wheels and an upgraded interior. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're feeling still interested, you can check it out in the gallery above, along with the announcement below and the specs on Mugen's website.
2015 Honda Civic Type-R benchmarks the cream of the hot hatch crop
Tue, 13 Aug 2013Honda has something wicked up its sleeve, based on the latest batch of spy photos we've received. This is purportedly the next Honda Civic Type-R, out testing in Germany and on the Nürburgring. The last generation of the Type-R went out of production in Europe in 2010, and while we admired it from afar, it's 2.0-liter, four-cylinder produced similar figures to the American-market Honda Civic Si.
From the looks of both it and the cars Honda engineers are benchmarking, the next Type-R will be much more powerful. In the spy photos, we can see four meaty exhaust pipes along with what is quite clearly an intercooler hiding behind the rear bumper. That's right, the next Type-R will be turbocharged. It'll need to be, though, if it's meant to tackle cars like the Opel Astra OPC, Ford Focus RS500 and Renault Megane RS Trophy (not pictured, but there according to our spies).
300 horsepower from a 2.0-liter engine should be on offer, and would match the competition quite well. Other obvious tweaks from the ho-hum five-door Civic are mainly aerodynamic. It sports an aggressive body kit with a meaty chin spoiler, rocker panels and a big rear wing. Red Brembo brake calipers can also be seen behind the sporty wheels and low-profile tires.
