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

    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!

    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.

    Bought a Pontiac Vibe/ Matrix new in 2004, traded in 2016. Absolutely no issues, tires ,brakes and battery, were only things needing change. Had 150 thousand miles.

      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.

    I have a 2004 hyaundai accent 4 Cyl and it is a very very tough little car. It just keeps running and running. I do the minimal to no maintenance, run it until it’s very low on oil before adding more. Same with coolant, it does not use much of either one. I am embarrassed to admit all of my failings do to laziness and it’s a little worse than I am admitting to. On time I accidentally drove over a high curb decider head on up one side and down the other. I freaked out about my stupidity, no damage to muffler or oil pan, no leaks suspension good. It looks a lot like you’re Honda. I cannot say enough good about it.
