Honda has completely redesigned the Civic for 2006.

The company has also improved the gas-electric IMA system for the Civic Hybrid and restored the Civic Si trim's potency with a 197-horsepower engine and a sportier coupe body style. Midway through the year, Honda will also introduce a new "GX" trim level that runs on natural gas.

  I test drove an Accord and a Civic with my wife. We could not tell the difference between the two. So we saved a lot of money by buying the Civic. Our intention was to step up from our 2002 Civic and buy an Accord. Now that we have had it for a while, my wife who drives it every day (48 miles) loves it. It clearly is the car of the year from Motor Trend magazine.

  Cannot believe this is a small car. Rides very well and appears to be put together well

  After 7,000 miles - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Glen - May 12 - 5:53 pm

  I would recommend reviewing the Civic Hybrid after 6 months or so. I reviewed shortly after purchase and have a few additional comments now that I have had some time with the car. Still a great car and glad I made the purchase. Fairly comfortable on long trips but as in any car, the sitting gets a little rough. Cruise is fairly steady but deviates about one mile/hr over/under the set speed as the engine has to catch up and back off. The audio w/ navi is not really XM ready. It still needs a tuner and a couple other parts. With installation, the dealer wanted $700. Otherwise, this car is one of the best buys. Get the Navi for sure. It is excellent, especially with voice recognition.

  2006 Civic - 2006 Honda Civic

  The 2006 civic EX 4 door Sedan with automatic transmission is surprisingly similar to the 2005 Accord in smoothness. The engine noise is very well isolated and the interior is much roomier than the previous generation of Civics. The automatic tranny has 5 gears vs the previous 4 gears and has a VTECH head which makes the car much more suitable for city driving than the previous model. In other words, it has alot more acceleration at low speeds although the 06 civic, in general, is NOT noticeably more performant than its predecessor due to its increased weight.

  This is my first car purchase, and I couldnt be happier with it. The Honda Civic has been great to drive. It gets excellent gas mileage, especially for people who drive highways a lot like I do. It consistently gets 40mpg, and on longer trips, its been known to get 45mpg. I live in an area with a lot of deer, and the brakes respond very well when it is necessary to make a quick stop to avoid hitting a deer or any other critter that runs out in front of you. This is a great car for the money you pay.

  A car with a bunch of problems - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Jon - April 23 - 3:16 pm

  I bought this car new in November 2005. Then,i had to have the SRS airbag sensor replaced. The dealer didnt fix it the first time! the car rattles like crazy. I had panels pop off the side airbag, on passenger seat and "repopped in" my glovebox had to be replaced. The alignment is way off and sterring wheel is not straight,after months of ownership the interior looks like its 10+ years old already,cheap interior pieces and plastics,prone to scratching and damage easy. When you press the gas all the way the car doesnt move!! its weak. I cant see the front of the car or the hood when driving. Drive by wire makes the car jerk, and takes away the enjoyment of driving.

  The Ipod of cars - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Khidr - April 22 - 5:23 pm

  This is one of the most unique things on the road, and put simply, Honda got it right. They have a powerful integrated feature set, nimble handling, excellent economy and a love it or hate it style to themselves. This is indeed the ipod of cars, and likely there will be as many people aggresively arguing for alternatives as there are for the actual ipod, but at the end of the day, people will buy and love this car because it just does what its supposed to do better than anything else on the road.

  Fun Car To Drive, Best SI Ever - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Jeff - April 11 - 1:58 pm

  Bought the car new in 2006, didnt really want a car with the Navi System in it, but now I cant live without it. The performance of this car is great. I have owned other Hondas in the past, but they really outdid them selves with this model. The car really starts to perform above 6k rpm. The power curve is great, its like the engine kicks up to another level. Glad I wanted for this years model to come out!! Very Low maintenance, I have only had to buy tires, and normal oil changes for 49k miles. Great fuel mileage for this model. Compared to a Acura RSX with the same engine, the SI averages about 8-10 miles per gallon more.
