The only other change for the Civic line this year is the new availability of leather seating for the new EX-L trim level.

• Engine lineup that offers both fuel-efficiency and performance, roomy and refined interior, high crash test scores, available as a sedan or coupe.

• Controversial gauge cluster design, slow acceleration times of Hybrid and GX models.

  Love my Civic in sunny weather - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Des Moines - February 10 - 10:07 am

  Ive had this car over 2 years. Love to drive it except during the winter. It pretty much leaves me stranded - cant navigate the snow and has poor traction - even with snow tires. If there is more than 1 inch snow predicted, I stay home or drive our truck.

  By gapster - February 8 - 11:34 am

  I love this car! its my 3rd honda...never owned anything else. The one complaint I have about this car is it is terrible in snow! it seems to slip around a lot. Looking into buying some better tires that what it came with. other than that....I have nothing but great things to say about this car!

  An Overall Satisfied Customer - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Mike P - February 5 - 9:36 am

  First off, I got this car for a STEAL because it was the last 08 the dealer had on the lot. Due to this, I may think that this car is a better value than others that paid sticker. Overall, I like the car. Its fast, handles well, and looks pretty good when tinted. Its also a decent size, reliable, and pretty economical. I drive "spiritedly" often and I still get great gas mileage. The worst was 26mpg (100 mile trip on back roads in Maine = wild ride) and the best has been about 33mpg...I usually average about 29 with 50/50 highway/city. One warning if you get an Si, every punk kid in a Honda/import will want to race you. Just something you have to live with.

  Front brakes grab unevenly, right front side vibrate and make noise braking on uneven pavement. Muffler exhaust makes putt-putt sound. Have 5K miles on it. Otherwise good car.

  Never agian - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Ts - February 1 - 5:17 pm

  I have had the car for 18 months, bought brand new, thought I was buying quality. WRONG. This car has design flaws. Sunvisers bust and fall on your head (replaced 4). A/C doesnt work at stop lights. Engine rattles when you start it in the morning. Car does not start on first try every time(stranded 2xs and now carry jumper cables). Honda cares about my safety so much they will not even look at anything wrong with the car. I am told "unless you can duplicate the problem there isnt one."

  08 Si Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Vaughn - January 31 - 12:54 pm

  Ive owned my 2008 Si Sedan for about 3 months now, bought it used with 25,000 miles on it. It drove exactly the same as the brand new one I drove with 5 miles on it, so I save myself about $7,000. What can I say? Its a great car, I love driving it, the engine sounds awesome when over 6k RPM, and it will take spirited driving with no issues. Did an autocross event last weekend, and that was ridiculously fun. The car gets 28-30mpg, and feels faster than it is. Certainly fast enough for me. I have had no issues with the shifter, the stock stereo is decent, and the car handles great. Looks awesome too : )

  Still lovin this car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By JohnR1980 - January 18 - 7:12 pm

  Ive had my civic 4dr. ex for almost 2 yrs. Just went over 50k, and still love my car. 35 mpg city and highway. People tell me it looks like a little 07 Acura TL. Ride comfort is great, so long trips for me, not a problem. The civic might have cost a little more than most, but this is my 8th Honda, and wont drive anything else but a HONDA

  Love this car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Dave - January 17 - 10:58 am

  I had the heated seat feature installed without the leather - great idea. I also worked the rear view mirror with glare repellent and direction in the deal as well - great idea too. With tinted windows and the rear wing, I find this car every bit as classy as models 3 times the cost. High end tires have helped tremendously - Honda sells them new with a really bad tire.

  Winter Performance - 2008 Honda Civic
  By palmdove - January 13 - 8:13 pm

  I have been very happy with my 2008 Civic since I purchased it last fall. It was slightly used as it was the demo car at the dealership. I only started to have a problem when the snow and cold weather arrived last winter. I found that the design of the wheel wells does not leave room to clear away built up snow and ice. I find it gathers there and makes turning difficult at times. It is very hard to clear it away as the area is so tight. On other cars its easy to just tap it away with your foot etc. Ive discovered the only real way of clearing it is with a high pressure hose. I do find this a bit of a design flaw and maybe could be improved!

  The Civic continues to deliver - 2008 Honda Civic
  By misttertee - January 7 - 8:53 pm

  Ive had this car for almost two years now and I do not regret my decision. It consistently delivers better gas mileage than the sticker (36-37 mpg) and is still fun to drive. The build quality and refinement are top notch and the manual transmission provides smooth, short throw shifts. In my opinion, the Civic is a much better design both inside and out than other cars in the segment. Ive put 40k miles on this car in just 21 months and it continues to perform like it did when I drove it off the dealers lot.
