The owner says it gets 35 mpg, mostly on 20 mile freeway trips @ 65 mph.
I find that disappointing as I'd like to get at least 40, potentially 50 mpg.
Might this car be a good choice, or not?

Peeling paint on a 12 year old car? That's unusual... Especially with a Honda.
I'd be sure to Carfax it. Could be an accident in it's past.
The EX is more geared towards performance than economy. Although all Civics are pretty reasonable on economy, you'd be better off getting an HX or even a DX Civic.
