    Civic Headliner ... My dad had a sagging headliner too. But he used Decorative thumb tacks instead of clear ones, and placed the thumb tacks at equally spaced distances apart and strategically placed them to allow the headliner to droop in sections and it looked EXACTLY like Stuffed Crush Velvet! When I touched it, the material flexed inward because it was hollow behind it, inside. BUT it LOOKED like it was stuffed with a pad, Just like the older crushed velvet. He used Gravity to make it look like it was stuffed crush velvet. Totally amazed me!

    Bought my 2013 civic in 2019. Had 59k miles on it at that time. Now has 110k miles on it. Other than maintenance only parts that were replaced were the rear shocks and serpentine belt. That’s it! Car runs and drives so smooth. I know for a fact it’ll pass 250k miles without major repairs. Keeping it till the wheels fall off. Probably get another car when it gets over 200k but still keeping it as a spare car. Remember maintenance is key! If you want your car to last a long time

    Years ago I bought my wife a Honda Civic. I think it was a 95 model. That little car (1.5 liter 4 banger) had only 25K miles on it. Got an average of 51.5 mpg. Lowest I ever got was 48.9 in winter, and best was 53.6 in summer. We had that car till 224K miles, when I gave it to a friend with a big family in need of a car. They ran it for several more years. At around 200K I decided to check the mileage again, and for three tanks in a row it averaged 52.5 mpg. It only had a 10 gallon tank, and we routinely ran it 375+ miles before filling. Never repaired a single thing either. Only wearing parts, like exhausts and brakes.

    I have a 2005 Saturn Ion with 710,00 kilometres (441,200 miles!). It still runs great! Original motor, and parts. Only the alternator and shocks have been replaced. My secret? Frequent oil changes with synthetic oil, and using premium gas.

    The Vibe is almost criminally underrated. Inherited my dad's 2005 AWD (yes, I live in a place where AWD is actually a necessity) and it's a tank. Sure, it's got a Pontiac shell, but it's a Toyota where it counts. Only 130K and with some vigilant rust maintenance could easily go for another 10 years since the parts are so easy to come by.

    We bought our oldest daughter a Honda Civic that needed a new front end when she was 16. My husband teaches auto body so he picked it up for $500, and he fixed it like new for $200 more. She zipped around in that thing for years. It ran and ran. I believe she drove it for at least 10 years with very little maintenance. It had a ton of pick up and was fantastic on gas. Great little car.
