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

  Excellent buy - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Shelly - February 10 - 6:50 am

  Ive owned my Civic for about a month and am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I test drove a Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, but the Civic was a better sized car for me and still has the features I love.

  Perfect commuter - 2008 Honda Civic
  By prairie - February 7 - 11:00 pm

  I drive about 20k which is mostly commuting and a mix of city and hwy driving. I traded in a Toyota matrix for this car and its really made the commute much more enjoyable. Although road noise is cited as an issue with this car, I find it far superior to the Toyota in that aspect. Instrumentation very handy and intuitive. It is clean, economical, commuter at a good price. Theres plenty of room and it actually feels like a midsize because of the dash and windshield configurations.

  Not happy - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Enza - February 6 - 2:30 pm

  We purchased the Honda Civic Hybrid four weeks ago. We have 860 miles on it and are frustrated and very unhappy with the performance of the car. The average mpg we are getting is 31.5 which is totally unsatisfactory. We are so upset I have complained to Honda of Superstition Springs and was told to contact American Honda Motor Co. needless to say they have not helped. Is there no one in this world that has any integrity left ?

  Great car...but a little sluggish - 2008 Honda Civic
  By jake - January 17 - 9:20 pm

  My mom bought me this car as her final gift to me before she passed from cancer in May 2009. I love this car! I love the dash layout, Im a big guy though and the seats are a bit narrow. Quick around town, but on a recent trip on route 66 to California I noticed on long inclines you have to put pedal to the floor. Lots of "zip" but horrible acceleration in situations where you pull a U-Turn and have to gun it... almost got hit a couple times because even to the floor its just so slow getting up to speed. Transmission has inconvenient shift patterns too. Thats the only bad, all in all its great little car and I get over 400MPG on the highway!!!

  Fun car with economical personality - 2008 Honda Civic
  By reedhands - January 14 - 4:56 am

  I love this car...I bought it brand new off of the lot and have loved it since! I have the manual and love it...only negative feedback would be it needs a stereo with more output for when you really want to rock out. Everything you could want in a car, great price, great gas mileage, roomy truck and big enough to fit four...awesome!

  Civic good be better - 2008 Honda Civic
  By David Ponce - January 9 - 3:36 pm

  I found the styling good, the performance is great, but Im disappointed on the fuel economy. The comfort level is great. The road noise is not quiet. Needs work on that.

  The perfect package! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Anthony C - January 1 - 12:40 am

  I traded in my 2002 V6 Mustang for a 2008 EX Civic back in November and its the smartest thing Ive ever done for many reasons. As a former Ford man who always trashed Honda, I have to say I LOVE THIS CAR! The gas mileage is incredible for the amount of fun you can have. Im 511 and I feel totally comfortable in it driving for hours. Not to mention, the VTEC in it is plenty powerful enough stock - let alone the abundance of aftermarket parts. The 8th generation Civic is a winner for sure.

  Good Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Joe - December 30 - 12:10 am

  I have had this car for 4 months and so far I am still enjoying driving it. It has plenty of room inside, good pick up, quiet ride (even on the highways). Overall I still feel good about the purchase.

  The resale value was good at least! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Tara - December 25 - 6:43 pm

  I purchased this car after owning a 1997 Toyota Camry. Except for a bum battery, I regretted trading that old car for the civic. The ride is rough in a civic, I got stuck numerous times in snow and ice -had to get every spec of snow from my drive way so that I wouldnt get stuck. The brakes are awful. They slip, and I can feel them vibrating when coming to a stop. I thought something was wrong until I took them to 2 mechanics, both of whom told me the brakes were fine. It was otherwise dependable, only stranded me once, after almost two years of long distance driving. But Im tired of fearing winter so Im trading it in for something that handles better. Got a decent price for it at least!

  Above Average - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Ronnie - December 16 - 2:10 pm

  This is my second Honda Civic LX 4 door sedan (5 speed manual). Overall, it appears to be a great car. It seems to be a notch or so down from my first Civic (1993 bought new). I traded in my 2003 4 door Tacoma P/U due to a wreck and rising fuel costs so I have had a bit of an adjustment. Fit-and-finish is good as typical from Honda. For the price I paid minus my trade in, it was a good trade off.
