  Hi Tech /Gas Saver - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Donald - July 7 - 2:40 pm

  I am a much better driver because of the MPG gauge. By constantly trying to improve my gas mileage, I drive slower and much more economically. I have avoided several accidents because I was driving more cautiously. The navigation system is excellent! I have made several trips to new destinations, the directions given to me audibly and on the screen were perfect! The stereo sounds very good for a stock unit and the seats are very comfortable. People are always gazing at the car and asking me questions. The big question is "how is the gas mileage" and I am pleased to say that I am averaging over 47 MPG in mainly stop and go traffic.

  Quiet and efficient - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Eric - June 13 - 5:56 am

  Comfort and performance comparable to other automatics in this class. Average gas mileage 48 mpg after 3300 miles. Cold starts and high speed driving bring mileage down towards 40 mpg. Medium speeds and warm weather can bring mpg average over 50 if you use a gentle touch on accelerator. High speed braking a little squirrely due mainly I think to high pressure tires which create a touchier ride than regular honda civic. Rides very nicely at high speed if you want to sacrifice a little fuel economy to get there. Overall happy with the car.

  OK Fine - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Stay - April 3 - 3:46 am

  I like my Civic Hybrid fine. I miss some of the features on my old vehicle (Sienna Minivan) such as a mute button on the steering wheel and the really comfy seats. I would say it is fun to drive and a great conversation piece. I still go to the gas station ever week I just dont spend near as much.

  Fifth Honda, and still getting better! - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Tom J. - March 31 - 10:40 pm

  Since getting my Civic EX in June 06, I have had a few issues with it. Starting at around 50 mph, there is a low whistle heard at the front part of the car. I thought it was the mirrors or the wheels and tires. Took it to dealer (less than 1000 miles at the time), who could not fix the problem. Said they are all like that. Not a good answer. Also, the one-touch up and down switch for the drivers window is WAAAAAAY too sensitive and hard to regulate. Im going to talk to the dealership to see if they can bypass or switch it out to a "normal" window switch. The car as a whole is screwed together very well. Great fit and finish. Mine is royal blue pearl metallic, with the beige interior.

  what I think - 2006 Honda Civic
  By tom c - March 3 - 4:03 pm

  Ive been reading a lot of reviews things I notice is the car does rattle, that is because if you have anything in the glovebox or in the trunk it will rattle inside with the cheap plastic. Car looks nice, but overpriced for compact car. Price in the entry midsize range. This car is begging to be a sports car, but its economy roots with is tiny 1.8 is evident, thus good gas mileage. So if you want so so power with good mileage civic is for you, if you prefer a faster car get something else and give up a few mpgs.

  Third Civic - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Bob-o - February 9 - 3:13 pm

  This is my 3rd civic and I love it. I have also owned 2 Accords and must say I miss the double-wishbone front suspension. My 2 Accords & 93 Civic coupe had it, and I loved it because it lasts longer than the McPherson strut, but the McPherson struts will have to do till I see the next Accord. The Nav/Stereo is THE BEST. The PC Card reader is fantastic!! I have 2 2GB cards and they work great! Windshield picks up EVERYTHING and the wipers need improvement. BEWARE - Most car wash tracks will hit your suspension VERY HARD when you enter them.

  Good but already seeing first problem - 2006 Honda Civic
  By civic2006 - December 12 - 10:33 am

  Overall the car is what you expect, decent, dependable with a good mileage. But just 5 days into owning it I have seen the first problem. There is a vibration sound at low speeds(around 39- 42 MPH) when running on the 5th gear and slighlty stepping on the pedal or moving across a slight incline. Honda engineer should have easily spotted this problem.

  Great Car to Have - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Cruz - December 7 - 9:00 pm

  So far, I have nothing to say about its quality or performance. It feels very solid and confident on the road. Though I do not consider it too bad, its interior is kind of noisy at highway speeds and the engine, being plenty peppy, could be a bit more of refined to be perfect; a bit smoother revver...

  2006 Honda Civic LX - 2006 Honda Civic
  By Brandon Vang - November 23 - 3:33 am

  Very nimble and smooth to drive. Needed more leg room, but this is expected out of any compact vehicle. Uses gas like a sparrow drinking water out of a bird bath. I can easily get 500 miles to a full tank of gas on the Highway. Im amazed....yeah!
