They're not shit. Like the other user said, the v6 models had some transmission problems but all the others are fine. You could get a civic then get a credit card and pay it off every month to build credit.

Another car to look at is a Mazda 3. They are seriously some of the most reliable cars money can buy. Very well made, too. I went from a 2002 Civic EX to this 2004 Mazda 3, and other than the gas mileage, I haven't had the first regret.
Now that I bring up gas mileage, my Civic was capable of an honest to God 37 mpg on a daily basis. My Mazda 3 "only" gets 28 around town. The only time it can break into the 30's is on long, straight, constant Interstate driving. I've gotten 32 like that, but because I don't take many trips of that sort, 28 is my real number.
