Are these hondas decent cars?

christineka · Dec 31, 2010

Dh intends to buy a "new" car this spring. He's been looking at honda civics and fits. I think the fit looks weird. Once upon a time we owned a very basic civic. It was a good car, but very basic. (Hot in summer.) The car is to be a commuter car. Dh drives a long distance to get to work or go to music rehearsals and performances. I'm not real concerned about car seats, but being able to fit three boosters across the back would be optimal. As long as the car has headrests, I'm not even concerned about high back boosters fitting. Just 3 literiders across would be great. But, I'm more concerned with the vehicle being of good quality that has potential to last for 20 or so years and has some decent crash ratings.

I have a Civic and LOVE it! I don't have any complaints about it at all.

You could easily fit three (relatively narrow) boosters across the back of a Civic.:thumbsup:

Both my mom and sister have civics and love them. I have a Pilot. We are a Honda family.

I've owned 3, my mom 4 and my sister 2.

We are a Honda family too.

At one point, my dad had an Accord, my mom had an Accord, my brother had an Integra (which is the same as a Civic), my sister had an Accord, my BIL had a Civic, my SIL had an Accord, and I had a Civic.

Now, my sister has a Pilot, my SIL has an Accord, my mom has an Accord, and I have a Civic (and my cousin, who is like a sister, also has a Civic).

Up the street from me is a family that is definitely a Honda family. Mom has an Odyssey, Dad has a Pilot, and ALL four kids have Elements or Civics. The best part? Grandma has an Insight.

Love it.

I think you'll have trouble getting three boosters across the back of a Fit. It's a very narrow car. I'd be happy to run out to mine and get you some measurements if that helps at all.

You can't go wrong with either a Civic or a Fit

Both are solid cars.

:yeahthat:

And the Fit is super versatile, too! Might be a good choice if your husband transports his music gear with him. :thumbsup:

Too cool!

I second the honda fit for ease of transporting musical instruments. It's a little funny looking but I have to say I love mine anyway. It's never given me a moment's trouble, gets excellent gas mileage, and I can put tons of stuff in it. I'll never sell it.

I think the Fit looks better than the Civic. And once you check out the seats, you'll love it too.
