Overview & Reviews

A new Mugen Si trim level debuts for the 2008 Honda Civic sedan. It's similar to the regular Si sedan but comes with more aggressive suspension tuning, special wheels and exterior body enhancements. 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.

  So far only one issue with my 08 civic - 2008 Honda Civic
  By gemini29nc - July 16 - 6:10 pm

  I love my civic. I have used my heated leather seats many times and they sure do take the chill off on a cold morning. I have been getting 32- 37 MPG with most of my driving being highway. The stereo is awesome and the MP3 hookup is very handy.

  Very happy with 08 5 spd. coupe - 2008 Honda Civic
  By arcticracer - July 10 - 10:06 pm

  My wife and I were very impressed with the awesome styling, high-tech, cool interior, and handling of the Civic Coupe. I was surprised that the dealer was willing to deal on price, so we bought it. $16,936 for the LX coupe. I put a couple hundred miles on it, then topped off the tank for the trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks, 360 miles. Filled the tank again upon arrival, 46.28 MPG!!! Very conservative, economy style driving, not over 60, coasting on hills, etc. The more I drive it the more i like it.

  Easy Manual Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By valerie - June 16 - 10:26 am

  The manual transmission on this is easy and fun to drive. Great gas mileage, and comes with a lot of features for an LX. The only thing Im not used to having from the accord is the remote trunk release and volume controls. Other than that, Im pleased with the 08 civic coupe. Rides smooth, and has a nice dash design.

  Drive Fast or Slow? Cant Decide... - 2008 Honda Civic
  By DMW - June 6 - 9:56 pm

  Leased for my commute to work, but knew this would be a fantastic weekend car. Whether to tackle everyday tasks or to have a nice Sunday drive to the beach, the smooth shifting 6-Spd is a pleasure to drive. The clutch is quite an upgrade from the DX, LX, and EX trim. Happy about the performance, comfort, looks, reliability, and handling. Interior is eye catching, and the mp3 capability is welcomed. A/C vents need to be moved as they are behind the steering wheel. The black cloth seats with red stitching are extremely comfortable, but impossible to keep clean since every piece of lint or dog hair shows. Leather should have been an option. Need to fix creak on windshield/dash!

  Excellent Choice - 2008 Honda Civic
  By ZTA114 - May 14 - 10:03 pm

  Just purchased the civic two weeks ago, switching from a 1997 Honda Accord EX. I always found my Accord to be very reliable and well equipped, but at first I looked at companies outside of Honda including Ford, Volvo, Toyota, Scion, and Mazda. After test-driving these other vehicles, I realized how much more quality there is in Hondas. I have enjoyed every minute of my new civic, especially the gas mileage. Being that my Accord was an older model, gas mileage was average and I can really feel the difference. Even with gas at a high, it only costs me less than $45 to fill up. Love the speedometer. It was definitely hard to get used to at first, but cant live without it now.

  Best car yet - 2008 Honda Civic
  By jorgem1959 - May 5 - 9:00 pm

  After having over 13 new cars this is my first Honda and I really enjoy this car, I really dont know why I did not get one before It would have saved me thousands of dollars. Plus I love the way the people at Tampa Honda land goes the extra mile to help the costumers feel great at every visit for service. I love my 08 Civic

  Much better looking than the 2001 Civic - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Douglas Clark - April 30 - 11:56 pm

  This is my 2nd Civic. I had sold a 2003 Accord sedan with 26K miles and traded in a 01 Civic with only 47K miles. This is my first stick shift since 1995. The higher windows and hood are a feature I will have to get used to. I make deliveries a several days a week and many stops a day. I will hope it continues to perform as well as it has so far.

  What a great car... - 2008 Honda Civic
  By MplsDriver - April 20 - 7:36 am

  This is the kind of car you look forward to driving every day. Im at about 400 miles now and look forward to every time I can get onto a curvy road. Daily driving around town is just fine, but I just calculated my miles/gallon (city) and it came in at 19.38? Im hoping this will get better once the engine is broken in. My only other complaint would be the seat comfort. I have a herniated lower disk in my back and the shape of the seat is kind of harsh on my back...once again Im hoping this gets better as the car breaks in. Other than that, this car is awesome! I was also considering a 2005 Lexus IS 300 w/ 27K miles (for the same price), but the Si just seemed like a better choice.

  Loving my new Honda - 2008 Honda Civic
  By jgsw - March 31 - 9:23 pm

  After 4 months of research and looking at the Fit, Yaris, Prius, Corolla, Elantra and Sentra. This was our best financial decision when factoring safety, cost to own, and fuel economy. I love the fact that oil changes are at 10,000 mile intervals. I considered a hybrid, but an oil change for that in Austin is about $50. Factoring the extra $8k, this was more economical, yet still providing excellent fuel economy. I really enjoy my new civic. I only wish I had purchased it sooner.

  MPG happy - 2008 Honda Civic
  By formermarine - March 31 - 4:33 am

  We bought this car after driving everything under 20K. It was by far the best driving car and priced perfect. My son is 62" and we had buy something that would fit him in the backseat. The car turns on a dime, doesnt sway when you get passed by a tractor-trailer on the interstate and has plenty of get up and go!
