I finally brought home my new (2005) Civic today, my first Honda. It was used as a demo car by the dealer, so I got it below invoice. It's the LX SE with the spoiler and alloy wheels. It is so sexy.

Anyway, I'm not planning on modding it or anything. I just needed a reliable car. Can anyone tell me what to look out for as far as maintainence goes? Like, when I should replace what? I had problems with my previous car (a GM) and I want to do everything I can to take care of this one.

Thanks

 

The manual has a maintainance schedule in it. Read the manual.

 

congrats on the purchase, now change your oh-so-creative username

that stock head unit in the SE's kicks ***!
