The Carpeting smells of rotting. Both the mats and the attached carpet. Anyone else who has heard of/had this issue, please comment.

It's a great car to drive, even in cold winter tempuratures. The service we had from the dealer was excellent, and they were always willing to answer any questions we had. I learnt to drive in this car, and I found it quite forgiving if I made any "mistakes." Stops fast without ABS, even on ice, which is nice for student drivers.

I live in a wet area near Winnipeg, and currently am trying to discover why my carpets and mats smell like rot. If anyone else has heard of/had this issue, please comment. For those who don't have the greatest lower back, the front seats seem to have a sort of very flat/forward lean to them, which can be bothering on long hauls.

There is ample leg room in the back seat. I'm 6'2" and have no problems in the rear. The stock stereo pounds pretty well. Good solid bottom end, without drownding out everything else.

Lovely looking family car, fun to drive, nice interior. (except for the carpet smell) It gets a higher rating in my books.

Nothing has gone wrong with the car, other than a few chips on the paint the car has been great.

I decided to buy this car after the engine of my previous car (Hyundai Accent) blew up. The car handles great compared to other cars in its class and the interior design is simple yet nice to look at, I especially like the transmission shifter. This car is very reliable and very cheap on gas which is very important these days. The only thing that could be improved is to make the seats more comfortable. Overall a great buy, I plan to keep this car for a long time.

So far nothing has gone wrong at all and from my conversations with other Civic owners I do not feel I will need to worry at all until around 250,000 Km's.

This car is without a doubt the best car anyone can buy for under $20,000. it is very reliable, handles very well and the 115 hp engine is more than adequate. There is plenty of space in the car and the trunk is more than large enough. I do a lot of driving on weekends and never once have I ever even considered the fact that this car will not get me where I need to go. Sure the car does not have much mileage on it as of yet, but after reading reviews about the Dodge Neon (my apologies to Neon owners who love their car) I realize sometimes cars do break down before even reaching 10,000 Km's. When it is time to finally get a new car my intentions will be to get another Civic.
