  Well rounded sport sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
  By blastersix - August 30 - 11:13 pm

  After test driving and getting prices on the new Saturn Astra, VW GTI 5- door, and Mazda3 5-door, this Civic just is a better overall package and has the bullet proof Honda reliability to boot. Ive owned the car for about two weeks now, but put 2,000 miles on it already. My wife and I took it two days after buying it on our vacation from Ohio to North and South Carolina. The performance and specifically the handling on this car are outstanding. Snicky 6-speed manual, point and shoot steering, and good throttle response make the Si a wonderful road car. The four door practicality means our two kids ride along in comfort too. Just watch out for the front buckets on long trips. Ouch.

  good enough - 2008 Honda Civic
  By jjazzman - August 30 - 12:03 pm

  Im coming from Z4 with manual tranny. I wish it had lil more power but I wished the same thing when I had Z4 also.. It handles much better than you would expect from Civic. feels as responsive as 3 series I test drove before Civic. I always had issue with Hondas seat. I owned TL- S, Accord, CR-V, and MDX... all of them had lumbar support in wrong position. Even 2008 Civic sedan has weird lumbar support but Civic Coupe seats is only Honda car I dont have any problem with. You gotta sit on one of these, youll understand what I mean. Heated seat heats up little different from other cars Ive owned but it is nice feature. Heated seat dont get as hot as other cars even in high mode

  Very Happy Guy - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Walt - August 20 - 11:10 pm

  Leased car two weeks ago. Superior road handling--steering is sports car responsive. Car is very quiet and very comfy on long trip. Drove over 600 miles over Memorial Day road trip. MPG for the trip was just over 39. My commute is 50 miles round trip and have been thrilled to have made the decision to lease this car. Very reasonable payments--under $275 per month. I will have to drive my old car a few days a month to stay under 15K miles per year, but that is O.K.-- gives my wife a chance to drive it occasionally. Dealer experience was very positive.

  Time will tell - 2008 Honda Civic
  By CB - August 5 - 6:33 am

  Had 2 weeks. Front seats uncomfortable, loud road noise, choppy sound on highway. Had MT for 12 years don!t know what!s normal for AT. Driveway has very slight slant, when I park car and I put it in park and let go of brake the car rolls back more than I like before stopping, dont know if all automatics roll that much or if mine has an issue. Very low bassy type sound when holding at steady speeds. 37+ mpg mixed right now (2 tanks). Only on high idle when intermittent wipers activate the idle slightly raises momentarily. Tranny shifts great but sometimes when just about completely stopped get weird feeling. Maybe just starts downshift as come to a stop. Maybe not tranny, hard to explain

  By not impressed - August 1 - 8:56 pm

  It is the most uncomfortable car I have driven. I am at a little over 600 miles and only getting 25 mpg on the hwy! I did months of research and THOUGHT i was making a wise buying decision. I wont buy another.

  Step up from a porsche - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Randy - July 28 - 6:03 am

  I purchased this car as a run around car and as a car my son can learn to drive in a few years. It surprised me by how nice it is. I get 32 MPG driving the mountains of the Sierra Nevada mountains and 35.5 on longer trips. I like the navigation system and the stereo. For $22,000 this is an amazing car. It corners and steers almost as well as my 2005 Porsche. In fact, had I driven a Civic before I bought my Porsche ( I picked the Porsche up in Germany), I might have saved a lot of money.

  Luv Our Hondas - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Honda Family - July 24 - 10:53 am

  Finally sold off the 93 DX MT model for a 2008 EX AT and couldnt be more satisfied. The EX gets 32 City with AC. Highway mileage is also impressive - were getting 38 on the highway! Cant ask for a smoother, more quiet ride. Enjoying the keyless entry, remote trunk, 6 speakers, and theres plenty of room for the 62" passengers. Its a great value for the money. The dealer installed the low profile spoiler and tinted the windows. Now we really look cool! We researched and test drove a couple SUVs as well as the Corolla and Accord. They couldnt compare to the Civics ride and reputation for dependability.

  Intially Very Impressed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By shaymasdaddy - July 18 - 8:43 pm

  Got tired of paying BMW maintenance and traded in my 01 525i for a white EX-L sedan this past weekend. I am very impressed with the build quality and the handling. The leather interior interior has a high quality feel and should last a long time. The stock stereo has a nice full sound. I did compare it to the Mazda 3 S Grand Touring Sedan and despite what the specs say, the Civic EX-L feels larger inside from a front and rear leg room perspective. I am very happy with my purchase and highly recommend it over the Mazda 3 and the Corolla.

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Samezmom - July 14 - 11:06 pm

  I like this car. It is my 5th Honda. I previously had a prelude. My only issue with the civic is that is doesnt ride as smooth as my prelude. It is a little higher up, so doesnt hug the road as well. All in all I am happy with the car, its very sporty looking.

  very nice - 2008 Honda Civic
  By the woodster - July 13 - 8:46 am

  I love my new Civic because you can chill with it and get great gas mileage or you can give it hell and still get pretty good gas mileage, and it is fun to hit the gas. The interior design is tight esp. With the navi. Overall great car.
