I like to buy Civics because they are so cheap to operate, they have served me well for many years. I first bought a new 2000 sedan and that became my ex wife's car when we split. In total that car went over 300,000km and lasted 14 years and cost next to nothing in repairs. I then bought a 2006 coupe in 2011 and drove it for ten years, it cost me $1442 in repairs (AC compressor and an oil pressure sending unit) Then in 2021 I bought my 2016 coupe, so far it has cost me ZERO in repairs. The only issue was the AC condenser needed replacing but Honda has an extended warranty on that, so they did that for free. I have no trouble averaging 48-50 MPG with this car so it gives me almost hybrid like fuel economy but I only paid $12,400 CDN for the car when I bought it so it was considerably less than a hybrid (unless I bought a really old one) I'm keeping this Civic for a very long time, it even still feels almost like a new car even with 150,000 miles on it. The suspension doesn't even feel tired, nor does it have any squeaks or rattles. If you were to drive this car and not see the odometer you would swear it has under 50,000 miles on it.
