Are Honda Civics good cars? - 1

I've looked at a few civics on carmax and I've seen that they're relatively inexpensive. Most are 2-3 years old and have under 20, 000 miles and are under 18, 000. So are they good cars? None on carmax have over 100, 000 miles so are they reliable? I'm in college now and really just want something to take me from school and work, so please be unbiased in your responses.

Should i buy 06 honda civic?

So i'm saving up money to buy a decent used car. My sister is selling her 06 honda civic with 130k miles on it for 4200. Is this a good price/ good buy? She had to have the motor replaced at like 20k but i think that was faulty with a lot of the 06s. I know she maintains it very well. I'm just scared because i don't want to buy one then have it kick the can in a year because i'm a poor college student. Haha Thanks!

Why can't I insert key into ignition on 2005 Honda Civic?

Why can't I insert key into ignition on 2005 Honda Civic?

Added (1). Battery died, had it jumped. Couldn't insert key into ignition. After some time was able to, started car ok, removed key, locked out of ignition again. I know sometimes disconnecting battery will mess up a Honda computers things/radios. Trying to solve before a tow to the dealer. This car also has an AM security. Just owned a week. Left the AM security FOB in the house so no conflict but it may be too late. Can't recall steps taken to get it started yesterday at least once.

2004 Honda Civic temperature problem?

My car has had some overheating problems in the past, the radiator, thermostat, fan relay and sensor have all been replaced. It's cold now, and I had been having problems with my heat not running correctly. It would go cold when my car would idle. Today was doing some highway driving, and the gauge kept getting close to hot and then going back down. Is this a heater issue? Or something else underlying?
