Thinking about buying a Honda Civic
The Honda Civic is one of the lines of cars made by Honda. I've known people that owned them and loved it!
They look like a great car for the money and economical to maintain and drive
Yes, they actually started as subcompact but gone through several generations of changes including getting bigger becoming a compact car
The gas mileage looks awesome on paper
Oh yes very good gas mileage! If you're looking for one size up or down the honda civic falls between The Honda Fit and Accord
I am planning to go test drive this week it looks like a good value for the money
They're very reputable. Civics were introduced in July 1972 as a two door model. Then a hatchback introduced that September. 
I had no idea they have been around that long, plenty of time to perfect them I guess
I was surprised by that as well. They first gained a good reputation for being fuel-efficient, reliable, and more environmentally friendly.
