Honda Civic 2003 Coupe
A good safe, durable car. Comfortable seating, luggage capacity is also great, lowering chairs have driven a lot of long boards.
I had VW, Ford, Opel and another one Honda - Honda is 10x better than others. I don't service this car very accurately, taking it to mechanic only when something fails completely, but it serves me very well.
