  Oh, YEAH! - 2009 Honda Civic
  By Dennis - September 22 - 9:50 am

  This was my first compact car, kind of felt like I was down grading, but WOW!, this car packs a whole lot of punch! I love this car! This is by far, the most fun to drive car Ive driven. Great on gas mileage and it has all the bells and whistles you can ask for in a luxury car. I suggest if youre in the market for a compact car, DEFINITELY consider the Honda Civic!

  Vibration on window side - 2009 Honda Civic
  By jayk - September 9 - 4:26 am

  I bought this car 3 months ago. I have no problem with handling, mileage, and reliability. However, Im not satisfied with the build quality because there is vibration on the side door which I could not locate the exact place. It really bothers me because you can really hear the vibration.

  Where is the legendary quality??? - 2009 Honda Civic
  By NM - September 3 - 9:30 pm

  All I hear about is Honda quality and reliability. So I decide to pick up a Civic for the supposed worry free experience. First night I get the car, I hear a squeaking sound from the driver side front wheel area on any road imperfection. Take it for service, and I am told they had to inject foam into an area between two body panels that were rubbing against each other. Pick it up the next day, and notice a rattling sound from the rear while turning on way home from dealer. Take it back to test drive with master tech. While doing so with tech, I lower window, and hear a squeaking sound. Tech laughs, I curse. All of this before 90 miles on car. First and last Honda.

  Solid little car with one nagging issue! - 2009 Honda Civic
  By graywolf781 - August 30 - 1:23 pm

  Ive had my LX-S sedan for a few months now, and all has gone well except for one persistent issue that has popped up since the weather has become cold. When the car has been sitting for a few hours in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, the car will often not start on the first try, or the car will start and then die out. The indicator window on the battery states that the battery is fine. On a brand new car, this is unacceptable. Come on Honda dont skimp on batteries with decent cold cranking amps.

  An Amazing Car! - 2009 Honda Civic
  By Civic Pride - August 25 - 5:30 pm

  I read a lot about this car prior to purchase and concluded it was a great idea. It was hard to find one--called around a lot and the few places that had them in the country wanted top dollar. Eventually found one out of state and purchased end of month--got a reasonable deal. It is an awesome commuter car--very cheap to run, extremely reliable, clean burning, carpool lane exemption, and dare I say, even fun to drive. No, certainly not a sports car, but it corners well, stops well, and accelerates decently. CNG is well below the price of regular unleaded-- about 40-50% for me, and Im not Utah--Im surprised everyone there doesnt have one! My kids, boss and others say "cool!"

  Traded in Element for Civic, loving it - 2009 Honda Civic
  By talktozee - August 14 - 11:40 pm

  Traded in my Element for a Civic because of gas mileage. I looked at Corollas, Scions, and even a Ford Fusion. In the end I had to fall back on the reliability and resale value of the Civic, and boy am I glad I did. The Civic isnt a performance car, nor is it entirely comfortable on long rides. But the interior is top notch, the steering and acceleration is responsive, the USB iPod interface is a nice touch, and the OVER 30 MPG average that Ive been experiencing over the last 2000 miles has been amazing. Sure, I cant haul as much as I used to, but I never really did, and the Civic is a great car I will use for years to come.

  So Far So Good - 2009 Honda Civic
  By Jim - August 8 - 7:36 pm

  So far I am pretty happy with my purchase of a Civic. Overall, its what I expected. There are a few surprising issues. Most notably, the car has a tough time starting when its cold out (under 20 degrees). I live in the Northeast and that has been rather often this winter. The windshield washer nozzles have also been freezing up since Ive had the car. It doesnt handle well in the snow but I expected that since its so light. I do like the reliability that comes with the Civic and it does ride well. Also, the gas gauge seems to underestimate the amount of gas in the tank. I actually was driving with no bars on the gas gauge, so I rushed to fill the tank and I still had about 2 gallons left.

  Exceeding my expectations - 2009 Honda Civic
  By dave92029 - July 30 - 1:40 am

  The build quality of the 09 LX is equal to my last C Class Mercedes and the reliability will be much better at half the price. This vehicle is a solid, comfortable, quiet fun car to drive. When I pause to think about what I paid for this wonderful car I just have to laugh. The LX is a wonderful value, while also being lots of fun to drive. Im so happy that I bought this car and wonder others pay so much more for those "high priced" brands.

  A sweet inexpensive reliable car! - 2009 Honda Civic
  By Sweet little car! - July 24 - 6:53 am

  Ive been driving this car for over 2 months now and I just love it! The power is really good for a 4cyl and gas mileage is what I had expected, good. What I love about it is that it didnt have to break my bank to get this nice cute car where you still look good enough to go on a date with and girl doesnt call you a loser for not driving a BMW, Lexus or Mercedes. I really like the reliability of Hondas. Ive had Hondas all my life but just before this I bought a Mazda Tribute (Ford affiliated) and I can tell you that Honda is a much better built cars! I will never buy anything else other than Honda for the value!
