Is a Honda Civic a good first car?

I have been saving my money for a few years, and my parents have offered to help me buy a car. I want something exciting but I know it’s probably smarter to get something practical. Is a Honda Civic a good first car?

Yes, the Honda Civic is a good first car.
The Civic has been a popular car for new drivers for decades. It’s safe, reliable, and relatively easy to park with good visibility. Plus, Honda has a great reputation for long-lasting vehicles. Invest in a Civic today and you could reap the benefits for a long time!
The MSRP for a 2022 Honda Civic is $23,645. Before you go car shopping, make sure you shop around for a new

How do you remove the glove box in a Toyota Camry?
I’ve been slowly repairing a 2001 Toyota Camry to be road-ready, but there are some electrical components I can only access by removing the glove box. I used to be an electrician, so the electrical work is simple for me, but taking out the glove compartment—not so much. What’s the easiest way to remove the glove box in my Camry?
