  Barbs Hybrid - 2008 Honda Civic
  By bwright1970 - November 14 - 8:16 pm

  Chose over Saturn Green Line for mpg although same price. Although I usually choose GM cars, I am highly satisfied with the overall appearance and performance of this Honda.

  Performance - 2008 Honda Civic

  This import is very fun to drive, especially at high speeds. It handles just like a sport car and feels like one. It is highly economical in terms of gas mileage.

  2008 Honda Civic Overall 40+ MPG - 2008 Honda Civic
  By ski777 - November 7 - 6:53 pm

  This is my first Civic or Honda for that matter. This replaces a very dated 93 Ford Probe GT. I bought this car for its reliability, styling (interior/exterior) and HWY MPG. Ive had the car for 10 mos now with 8500 miles total and commute about 30 miles to work each way. I do about 95% HWY miles, and I am getting 41-43 MPG!

  Beware of the automatic transmission - 2008 Honda Civic
  By cartmaniskool - November 4 - 9:06 pm

  I wanted to let others know that I love everything about this car except for the automatic transmission. It shifts too harshly while in D. When driving above 25-30 mph and then slowing down or braking under 20 mph, then quickly stepping on the gas, the transmission will jerk or buck forward and youll hear a very loud clunk sound. It is not a normal jerk at all, it is a very violent jerk and the transmission will clunk. Its pretty bad and Ive learned that its common in all 2008 civics with automatic transmissions. There was a problem with the civic si 3rd gear and there is a problem with the 2008 civic automatic transmission as well. Honda needs to issue a recall ASAP!

  Good commuter car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By tango - October 19 - 7:30 am

  Very good if have a commuter drive open driving with a few stops but not interstate. Doesnt like 60 MPH+ but 55 and lower does well and gets great gas mileage as long as you drive conservatively. If you try and drive like it was the performance car you traded in you will be disappointed in mileage.

  Very Economic and fun to drive ! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By wirito - October 8 - 7:16 am

  I simply cant get enough of this car. And its been already a year and a half. With 30.000 I have not had one single problem. The feel of the car is very comfortable, steering wheel is very easy to turn doing so with just one finger. I average about 50 miles a day and I can honestly say that it is very economic. I like the fact that the car locks itself and alarms after maybe 30 seconds. Note that this only happens if the car if off. If is on, dont worry about leaving it on and going out for a smoke while it warms up. Great car to have if you are looking for a fast, fuel efficiency, not to expensive car !!

  6 month update 08 civic lx 2dr coupe - 2008 Honda Civic
  By steve - October 7 - 5:10 am

  I purchased this car mainly for the good gas mileage and reliability but it has turned into so much more. This car handles like a go-cart, and is very fun to drive. It really is a sports car with great reliability and fuel consumption. The ac blows very cold and the stereo is great. I owned a BMW 3 series car about 5 years ago and this Civics handling is so much better at half the cost of the BMW...

  Wow - what a mistake - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Hizo - September 12 - 11:40 am

  After having waited for this car, and paying for the upgrades, i feel like my money went down the drain. Day 1, pick up the car, leave the dealership, and there is a popping noise from the suspension, the cd player was broken. Took the car in found that the suspension needed to be fixed, the front tires had to be replaced and the cd player among other items. A month into ownership, the car starts making all kinds of rattles, and loud noises when coming to a stop. Cat was replaced and many clips and molding in the car. Transmission started popping out of third gear, that is still being worked on. All in all, Honda has done over 9K of warranty work on the car already!

  Best Car in America - 2008 Honda Civic
  By sprocket - September 7 - 6:46 am

  45-48 mpg in all driving, consistently. Plenty of room for normal people, and quick handling. The best car available in America, hands down. No more necessary.

  Best Choice - 2008 Honda Civic
  By J Mitchell - September 5 - 1:53 am

  I have thoroughly enjoyed my purchase of this Civic. I use it for mostly city driving, and still get better than 31 mpg a tank, highlighted by a 38.4 tank on the highway. So far, very reliable, no surprises. It is able to accomplish all tasks I ask of it, including transporting bikes with a trunk rack. It has a very receptive pick up when necessary, but no sports sedan by any means. I like the interior styling overall, like all the storage compartments. Radio is decent, wouldnt mind a 6 cd changer instead of the single slot. For exterior styling, Im a big fan but I think the wing spoiler is a must, keeps it from looking like grandmas car.
