My 2004 Civic EX Sedan turns 200,000!

My 2004 civic hit the 200,000 mark yesterday on our afternoon drive home. My Grey Ghost has been in a few fender benders, and only major replacements include the timing belt (twice), a compressor and a/c lines, and a trunk latch that was originally bad. Surprisingly, i am still driving on the original shocks and struts. She has been and continues to be a great car!

Thanks for your comments TFMEX! Honda has done a great job with the Gen 7 civics, and they are very well put together. Give your Civic a lot of love, and you'll get a whole lot back!

oh yeah, i forgot, the shifter cable went bad too, but that happened only recently...

I have an 2005 VP Couple. Mine is at 216,000 bought her brand new in Nov 04. Couple sensors went bad here and there, but overall pretty good. Needs new cat/manifold and shocks(just blew out, Seattle potholes took their toll).

Original transmission?

What maintenance do you do to the trans?

I am almost at 140k.

Sorry for such a late reply 04 Honda Civic. I guess it comes to show how great our civics are when we are away from the DIY threads for a stretch of time...

The original transmission is still working beautifully.. ( she's a 5 speed) but I totally forgot to mention the clutch replacement.

now at 216,000+ miles, the head gasket is blown, and i am having to give her coolant every few days and oil every few weeks. Its time for some maintenance.
