Amazing everyday driver with some extra power
Source: Cars.com

..."This car has amazing handling especially with the factory sport suspension and is a fast performance sedan.
The best part is that it can be very tame and a very comfortable everyday car.
I have literally driven for 12 hours straight with only bathroom and food breaks and never got a sore rear.
The BOSE sound package is nothing short of amazing. The only gripe I have is with the manual seat adjustments, I wish they were powered. Perfect car and well worth a meticulously maintained one."...

Cheap Transportation but Cheap Interior
Source: MSN Autos

...Cons: I've owned for close to a year and the interior is not holding up well. Cloth seats are already showing wear with little more than 10,000 miles. Seats are very uncomfortable on long trips for a guy like me who is around 6 ft tall. No support for thighs. Good for around town, bad car for long trips. Overall: I don't regret buying this car, but can't recommend to someone who is a average-large person with long commutes. Seats are typical Civic, haven't improved in the 20 years I've owned these cars. Very reliable, cheap transportation...

These cars were truly built to last!
Source: MSN Autos

...Airbags if triggered tear through the dash and steering wheel thus requiring a new steering wheel and dash, which gets very expensive. Overall: This car was defiantly a great achievement and benchmark in all categories for the time it was built. The looks and design are also great compared to other cars from the same time frame. Reliability is the strongest point, giving a very low cost to maintain this car. It is a fun car to drive with plenty of acceleration, road grip and feedback. Almost all major parts have with stood the test of time and still perform close to what they did a decade...

..."Great handling and performance with 28mpg w/ cruise control on highway.The most impressive : on the snow!!Negative : I want more! I want an S4 now!!"...

Honda Accord the car all others fall short of and should worship!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Overall...everything.It is a definite head-turner.MPG
and performance are spot on for a 4 cyld powered car.Navigation
is excellent and if you dont like the annoying voice giving direction you can turn it down or off with a push of a button.Leather is luxurious and sound is outstanding
!This car puts other comprable manufactures to shame. Cons: I have truly tried to find fault but it really is hard.IT is the ruler all others should be meausured. Overall: 10 out of 10!...

Even better after a month
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: everything about the way it drives. accel, stopping power, handling are all first class in a car for this price Cons: premium fuel at 4.39 a gallon.
sometimes the ebrake handle digs into my knee with the way i sit while cruising on the highway Overall: Even happier with the car now that i've owned it for a month.
I suppose i could complain that it takes premium and doesnt get 30mpg even though its a 4 cylinder.
However, in buying the Si model you understand its not for economic purposes,
and I can honestly say that even though the window sticker says 21 city, 29...

economic and reliable
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I got this car in 2000 with 32,000 on it and now it has 122,000 and the only thing that needed replacing was the catalytic converter in 2003, which was under warranty.
Besides horrible paint chips on the front bumber from driving the pass so many times during the winter, the car still looks great and runs even better.
Cons: not a lot of go, but what do you expect with a 4 cylinder? can get uncomfortable after long drives, but who is? Overall: great investment...

#8
A Great Vehicle
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Car redesign looks great and drives like a champ Cons: The fog lights were dealer installed because the fog lights were not available from the factory on a 4 cylinder / navi.
The car is black The fog light housing is gray and
stands out like a "sore thumb' I called Honda and
got no where I am disappointed in the manner Honda handled this issue Overall: I like the car with exception of the appearance of the fog light housing...

2 Audi's and Never Again
Source: Cars.com

..."I have owned an A6 and an A4 and they are some of the worst cars I have ever owned.
My A4 has cost me more than its worth at this point and the A6 was the same way.
I do have to say that it is a reliable car, it has never not started, even on the coldest days of the year and I have never gotten stuck in the snow, but the cost to own this car is unbelievable.
I swear, every time I go to the dealership they find something else to break. I am at the dealership getting something fixed at least every other month. Don't buy this car."...

Best Family Sedan I've EVER seen.
Source: Cars.com

...Very quick exeleration for a front wheel drive 4-door sedan. The V-6 model of the 1996 Chevrolet Corsica will go from 0-to-60 in around 5 seconds. That in my appinion is extremely good for a 3.1 liter V-6 front wheel drive sedan. It handles better than what you would ever think that a 4-door front wheel drive is suppost to handle. The only down side that I have seen about this car is when you put your foot in the gas hard an a wet road!! The tires WILL spin and keep on spinning faster untill you let off of the gas. And is also capable of spinning the tires when on dry pavement too if pushed...
