  • Very Nice - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    This is a fantastic car overall, quite comfortable and very well executed. Just gave back leased 2005 civic and bought this one with all the items EX- L model. Surprised at how innovative this car is compared to the 05 and thats meant in the best way possible, if shopping for a new car in this price range or even a slightly higher price range, give the civic a drive, youll enjoy it. One piece of advice is to make sure you do your research on not just the car but the dealership!

  • I know this car - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    I went thru this car, changed out stereo for hands free bluetooth, pandora, sirus, all apps and more bells whistles. Then I put remote starter, and tinted the windows. This car is below 74K and treated like a baby. Its still driving tight and brand new.

  • Great Car - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    I am very pleased with my Honda Civic Hybrid it is better than I had hoped for. I purchased this vehicle to commute in Los Angeles traffic and it performs great - the comfort level is very good. I have been driving about 43 years and would recommend this vehicle to everyone who needs a great car at a very good price. I am considering purchasing a second one for my daughter.

  • SO FAR, AWESOME - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    Have only had the car 2 weeks. LOVE IT. I have had Mercedes 300, a New Jaguar, Jeep, RX-8 and everything in between. I might be getting older, but this car is so much fun to drive and for the money, I am impressed!

  • Just bought it - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    Just bought this car yesterday. Very impressed with this car. This is my 4th Honda product and I cant say anything bad. I bought this as a second car. My other car is a 2002 Acura TL-Type S. The Civic obviously isnt as plush, but is fun to drive.

  • From GM to Honda... smart move!! - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    Having been a GM fan for years, I see what I have been missing... I am impressed with this vehicle I have had it for a week now, and I cant stop driving it. It makes me want to drive, is fun to drive, gas is great! You cant go wrong with this choice, in my opinion. At least test drive one and youll see what I mean. Good resale value as well. Lease rates are amazingly low compared to other Japanese automakers.

  • Excellent car for the money - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    I average about 30.5 mpg with a heavy foot in hwy and city driving. This car meets all my needs and I love my dealer added XM radio w/the display. This baby keeps up with the fast cars. A quiet ride and stylish- I like the fact that Honda re-added the silver strip to the back of the car like the old Civics had. I love Hondas and would re-purchase this one.

  • More power than I expected - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    I only have the car for a week, this is my sixth Honda, first Hybrid. The car has ample acceleration and power, very quiet ride. Face it with the unstable oil market, its time to make the change. I only leased the car for three years, who knows what type of power will be available in the future. I dont think the extra cost will pay for itself in three years, but I leased it to save gas, not money.

  • Great car for the money! - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    Had my mind set to buy a 4 door, but when I saw the 2-dr coupe, my reaction was "Wow!". Ive been driving it for less than a month, and just loving it! For the price, you cant beat it. Averaging about 32mpg, probably due to mix of city & hwy driving.

  • 5-Month, 6,000 Mile Review... - 2009 Honda Civic
    By -

    Preface: I did my homework, and shopped around pretty extensively. I knew what I was buying (an economy car), and held the civic to those standards. First, a few minor quibbles: 1. Thickness and durability of the paint is disappointing. Im finding too many chips on this young a car. 2. I cant locate the source of some random clunk coming from the right rear wheel... Other than that, all I have for the civic is praise. The car handles famously considering its class and competition, and the ride quality is uncompromised. Its solid, doesnt get flustered over bumps, and inspires much more confidence than my previous car (a 1998 Audi A6).
