I’ve got an 03 sedan with the 5 speed manual and 1.7 engine also. I agree it definitely has enough power to be fun to drive while the gas mileage is very reasonable. Plan to keep it until I find a manual heavy duty truck I really like. Until then I’m pretty happy with it. Replaced the timing belt recently with one of the technicians I work with which is a pain in the butt job but far better than losing the engine and therefore the vehicle. The timing belt is a dumb and cheap design compared to the chain but at least it doesn’t need to be done that often and isn’t the worst thing you could have to do.

I had one of these. I had an 05 EX Couple Special edition with a manual. It had the beige seats and light brown dash interior (the only nice looking interior of that model IMO) I got it for $1800 with 300K miles. It was blue with white-blue LED lights and a led kit for the fog lights. It looked pretty clean for a stock car. The only 'issue' with it, or Cheap Honda's in-general is that people think they can DIY them because they're so easy to work on. It had the alternator improperly installed so a bolt snapped. The belt ended up snapping later which was how I found out. The LED kit was also wired up incorrectly, so the headlights kept going out randomly. I also had to do some rewiring for the speakers among other things because someone installed a system prior (pretty common with Honda's). I later had the timing belt jump teeth because somehow the previous person who installed it had it rubbing and it burnt up the teeth. Needless to say, it was a good car but a basket-case of DIY repairs. Just because something is easy to work on doesn't mean its ACTUALLY a good thing. It also was a 300K mile car, and while Honda's are reliable, you can't skip maint like any regular car. Shocks, A/C, other suspension components, and many other things went during my ownership as-well. It was an $1800 car that quickly doubled its value in repairs. I actually had a neighbor with a same model Honda and they ended up junking theirs due to similar issues. Previous owners doing more harm than good. I'm not saying this to say used Honda's are bad though, I'm just saying that there can be downsides to buying older, higher-mileage Honda's, especially ones that are so easy to work on. Anyways though, its not all negative, on the actual CAR, if you find a good one, which shouldn't be too hard, I think I was just unlucky, It ran pretty well after I fixed the issues. I loved that car, I bet it could've easily done another 300K miles in it. I actually still miss it till this day, and I've owned WAY more expensive cars, but it left its impression. I actually intend to buy another one eventually. I really loved the engine, quiet, smooth. I loved revving it out (Vtec yo). It wasn't fast at all but just hearing the engine was enough for me to love that car. No riced exhaust was a bonus. It was a tame regular car with great gas mileage and felt reliable and good to be in, comfortable enough, etc, but then when you wanted some fun, it provided that too. Enough engagement to row through the gears. I just can't describe how fun/cool of a car it was. Like I said, I've owned some insane sports cars, and some insane luxury cars, and I can't exactly pinpoint why, but that car felt perfect to me. Not many cars have gave me that feeling, but that car did.

If yours sounds similar I’d say you have nothing immediate to worry about, especially for long drives where you won’t be using the bearing much if at all. And don’t forget absolute worst case you can shift without the clutch. If the bearing completely disintegrates on you (unlikely), park on a hill. Then to start, put it in first, push in the clutch pedal (to allow the starter to work), and crank the key. The car should lurch to life. Alternatively if it’s a pretty steep hill you can just put it in third or fourth and key on, let off the brake to get the engine going. And then just shift gently, trying to match the engine to wheel speed for the gear you want. With a little practice you’ll get the hang of it. Only stop signs and stop lights are tricky :)

These are great cars. 120 HP doesn't sound like much but the car only weighs 2400 pounds, 0 to 60 in the 8 second range is pretty great for an econobox.

Honda engines always have that ticking! I own a 2006 accord lx, 2013 civic si and a 2016 civic lx. All work well and make that ticking sound. Out of all of my hondas my 2013 civic si is super fun to drive! 6 speed manual transmission with a 2.4 liter engine. The k24 is so pleasing when it comes to vtec power!

I had an 04 Civic LX. I got bored of it and sold it to the neighbor for their daughter. I want to buy it back when she gets tired of it. That car was bullet proof. I drove it hard and it still drove like new at 230K Miles. I want it back for it's good gas mileage and dependability.

I have a 2005 Civic VP: no abs, no cruise, crank windows, stick shift with 320k miles on it. LOVE the simple little 1.7L sohc engine and how cheap/easy repairs and maintenance are. I plan on having it for another 300k.

Currently driving a 2000 Honda accord LX. For a 21-year-old car, still drives as smooth as butter and saves a ton of gas. I love this car. Even when I upgrade I’m keeping it around.

Love my '05 Civic EX SE. Bought it with 127K on it, now has 187K. Other than normal maintenance, I've had to replace the alternator. That's all. I average 33 MPG and have seen over 41 mpg on a long highway trip. Did 610 mi on one tank once.

Loving this one thanks for sharing very important information giving thanks blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🙏🙏🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲💪💪💪

My 02 Honda Civic Ex Coupe has 205k on it and it wont die. Im the original owner and its my daily for work. Gonna give it to my son for him to daily. He loves driving manual.

I wish you would have said “Freezing Ice Cold!” Great vídeo Scotty!

Scottie doing a review on the car that I have for once 😍

Love my '02 Civic! Just had the left front wheel bearing replaced. Automatic trans...lucked out as it was built in Canada! 🇨🇦

I actually have an 02 four door 5 speed EX with 200k and it's as solid as a BOULDER. I live in Ohio and took her down to Florida and back with a bad sway bar link and the only issue I had is that my alternator belt de-tensioned itself after I returned. Went down and back completely safe and even with a bad link the car didnt even feel squirly (except over bumps)

Reliable car forsure, minus the 1.5L turbo engines. Straight garbage.

There's plenty of wheel bearing press kits out there to help with this kind of problem, for those who lack a hydraulic press. Buy whatever one suits you and avoid renting one out from an auto parts shop (AutoZone, O'Reilly's), because the "Honda-specific" kits are usually worn out and don't work that well.

I've owned a 2003 EX for over 10 years now. Only thing that is annoying is the coils dying slow deaths. Synchros can take a beating, but I don't suggest it because of the shift forks bending. EX and DX/LX are different gear ratios transmissions (close set 4.44:1 in the EX/VTEC) Excellent K swap choice vehicle. Also good vehicle to go electric assist steering for less combustable fluid under the hood and around 7hp back fulltime. The Civics in between 2001-2005 are known for bump steer, however Whiteline does offer a bushing set to fix that. Excellent choice for a low budget, everyday car with track potential.

Mine is a 2003 Red 2door manual. Love it. Rides at 4k rmp at 80mph. 39mpg

Hi Scotty. People need to know that these things have multiple outstanding recalls for airbags.

I had a 2001 Civic DX with a 5-speed manual x-mission. Bought it brand new. Nice car, but has its issues. Crankshaft oil seals tend to go bad, and has a timing belt. It is stiff, but they do take turns well. Good car, just take care of it.

Love my 2005 Civic. Parts from Acura El are mostly compatible. Acura RSX parts also can be swapped with a minimal amount of work.

I like Hondas. What made me get a Toyota were 3 reasons: 1. After a Honda model generation completes 10 years of existence, the brand won't supply OEM parts. You just have to get aftermarket ones; 2. It is common for a 13 year old Toyota to show ZERO codes on a tester. It is also common for a 13 year old Honda to show some of them; 3. Honda parts, even aftermarket ones, are a bit more expensive than Toyota's counterparts, especially suspension. However, Hondas are nicer to drive. Have a more complex suspension system. But I really do like Hondas... Those things are great cars.

I'm in the market for a car, and let me tell you, I hate everything about buying a car.
