I've had a 9 year old (1996) Honda Civic Sedan (63,000 miles at the time I purchased it) for well over a year without any problems whatsoever and I even took a round trip to Vegas and back once. And that's without any tune-ups! Of course, I did have a tune-up/oil change/filter change/etc. done after I got back.

In contrast, my first car was an old 1988 Mercury Sable LS and the engine would stop right in the middle of an intersection if the weather was hot or cold enough! I had so many problems with that car (which ended when the LCD that showed the speedometer using digital numbers rather than a dial started fading to the point of not being able to read it) that I saw the light and bought an old Honda Civic Sedan as that was one of the only cars I could afford at the time.

It's a GREAT car without ANY problems whatsoever. I swear by Hondas, and once I make enough to pay for one, I'll buy a Honda Accord coupe (or a Toyota Truck)...haven't decided yet.
