I have used this car on a daily basis to drive to and from work. I am the third owner and have spent considerable time and money making sure this car is in good mechanical order. I drove this car nearly 100 miles every day and average around 42 MPG with traffic and some spirited driving. Every issue, problem, upgrade will be documented in this thread so that you have all information upfront. Within the past 3 months a tune up that consisted of: Spark plugsCapRotorIgnition wiresRadiator Coolant fluid flushBrake\Clutch fluid flush (yes this means all the fluid in the brake and clutch lines)Air FilterPVC ValveNew Oil and Oil filterSea-foamed the engineInjector CleanerValve AdjustmentBosch Windshield wipersOEM O2 Sensor Other ItemsNew Tires, mounted and balanced by Sears AutoNew oil pan, due to a cross threaded oil pan bolt The interior was detailed and steam cleanedThe engine bay was also steam cleanedPioneer Front SpeakersRear hatch shocks replacedGlove box replaced (previous owner had broken hindges)New cup holdersNew wiper stalk IssuesFront driver seat has worn on the side (doesn't affect comfort), check picturesPaint on roof and hood needs a compound buff (looks like sun damage)Typical surface rust on rear fenders that plagues 95% of all east coast civics in this generation. The car has not been modified or raced, or any of that stuff. If you want a good, reliable car, this is it. I have some records for the vehicle going back into the 90's, all the maintenance from the previous owner (more than 5 years) was done at http://www.trianglemotors.com/. The original, Honda, in dash radio will come with the car, not the expensive unit pictured. Further information. VX: Fitted with only manual transmission, the VX was very similar to the base model CX but gained improved fuel efficiency through a 92 hp 1.5 L VTEC-E engine yielding 48/55 mpg (city/hwy) [revised to 2008 EPA rating: 39/49 mpg city/hwy[3]] or 44/51 mpg (city/hwy) [revised to 2008 EPA rating: 36/46 mpg city/hwy[4]]. In Canada, it was rated by Transport Canada fuel consumption estimate: 4.7L/100km city and 4.3L/100km hwy.[5] Other features were an 8K tachometer with redline at 6K RPM, lightweight 13-inch (330 mm) aluminum alloy rims, as well as additional front & rear under-body trim additions to improve aerodynamic flow.[citation needed] To this day, the CX & VX models are lauded as one of the gasoline-powered cars that rival fuel economy of hybrids and diesels -- in the March 2010 issue of Car & Driver, it mentions its long-term test car, a 2009 VW TDI Jetta with 6-speed dual-clutch auto transmission, got worse fuel mileage (38 mpg) than their 1992 Honda Civic VX test car (which got 41 mpg) and 2000 Honda Insight hybrid (48 mpg).[6
