This is my first Civic, my two previous cars were Mitsubishi Eclipses, when I knew I needed to get a new car I wanted another Eclipse, but as it turns out Mitsubishi stopped making the Eclipse around 2012, they only make an Eclipse/SUV Hybrid which didn't interest me at all, so I went online and did quite a bit of research and the Civic is one of the best selling cars every year, I looked at a lot of sites that gave reviews and I couldn't find anything negative about the car, so I called a dealership near me, scheduled a test drive, and that same day signed the papers. So far so good, I've had the car 4 months and I'm still learning all the gadgets and gizmos. GL with your truck
