I use a 2010 Honda Civic for my 110 mile round trip to work everyday. 406,000 miles on it. Bought the plain jane LX model brand new. If I baby the gas pedal it still gets 36ish for MPG keeping the cruise around 72 MPH. Keep the oil changed, air filter cleaned out. It's easy to change the oil yourself, same for spark plugs every 100,000. Just replaced the original serpentine belt at 400,000. Now if you want one w/out the turbo you have to buy the LX so you can't get the nicer trims w/out the turbo which bums me out. I plan on driving this to 500,000 barring anything major and maybe longer. If something was to happen to it today it'd be hard not to go get another plain jane civic to replace it.
