I'm looking to buy an automatic (I know auto's suck) civic and found a decent 2008 for what I think is a decent price with 106k miles. I've been looking at 2008-2016, not looking to spend lots of money though. Wife can't drive a standard, but I'd like to use our truck from time to time and my current car is a standard so I'm looking for something she can drive and haul around 2 kids. Are there any years or other things I should be avoiding or known problems I should make sure have been taken care of? this car will be driven in the Denver CO area if that makes any difference. I do plan on getting studded snow tires for winter driving.

Thanks,
Mark
