No, it's not a Civic, but at least it's still a Honda (I know, it's really an Isuzu Trooper in disguise, but it SAYS Honda dammit!) This is the husband's ride....he doesn't drive as far as I do so he gets the SUV with the crappy gas mileage. I did the alternator in this one (TWICE, the first one was crap and had to get another, losing the core charge in the process---this bit big time), next going to do the home tuneup (plugs, filters, rotate tires). Easy to work on, a major bitch to jack (some prick stole my $150 floor jack last year and I haven't replaced it yet). Drives like an effing truck.
