Had a 96 Civic, and it only didn't start for me twice during the time I owned it. Both times it was the ignition coil (or whatever it's called--you get the idea).

Old car: '98 SVT T-Red K&N air filter; Ford Focus RS shift knob. Off to be auctioned off somewhere. New car: 2003 Honda Accord DX Sedan, 5-speed.
