Good Old 7th Gen
So; After my extended (VERY extended absence). I'm curious how many of you guys still have your 7th Gen. And how many Miles you put on her.
I'll start: Bought New in 03, had 10 Miles. Still have her; she now has 148,000!!!!!

Re: Good Old 7th Gen
bought my 2003 Honda Civic LX Coupe in Rallye Red new in Jan 2003. currently have 88,000 miles on it, new auto-trans has approx 18,000 miles on it now (original one died at 70,000 miles).
i'm actually currently at a Honda Dealership now getting my timing belt service done. i decided to not go out and get a 2011 Subaru Impreza and keep my Civic for the long haul. my year-old replacement transmission is already having some issues so i hope it dies again within warranty so i get a new one.
oh by the way there is nothing "good" about the "good old 7th gen" ...except that i can push my Civic to get 39.8mpg on the highway . however it will go down as Honda's worst product ever made...

Bought in summer '01, 11 miles on it.
Currently 164k miles and still ticking, although moving from the flatlands of Chicago to the hilly *** Seattle area, city MPG has definitely gone down.
