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.

  Civic coupe manual - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Leon - June 29 - 12:53 am

  Had my LX coupe 5sp manual for a year now, 0 problems, its comfortable, pretty stiff though, but I like it. I do about 30 MPG and all of them are in the city, and very short drives. No real space in the back, kids will do fine. Front is very spacious, Im 64" and its fine, drives well, second gear sometimes wont go in.

  Who needs a Porshe for FUN! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By RonBhamAL - June 28 - 10:00 am

  I have driven mostly luxury cars (BMW 325, IS250) and after 3 months still cant believe how great this car is. I have to remind myself I am in a economy car. Well-mannered, fast, comfortable. I get more looks than I did in my lux cars. Yes, I opted for the loaded SI/NAV and added blk leather, tinted windows. Civic SI is bringing sexy back! And valet guys fight to park it.

  Bang for the buck! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Love this Car - June 8 - 2:30 am

  Ive been having nothing but fun driving this car. Moved from a civic EX to the Si. No regrets whatsoever...so far. Of course, Im taking a hit on MPG, but not nearly as bad as I thought. On the road, my scan gauge is averaging 35 mpg each day. Thats mostly highway. But is this fun to drive. Makes my daily commute much more enjoyable. Bought it new for $18,129. Excellent price!! And its great looking. Really happy with the deal.

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Adam - May 31 - 2:53 am

  This is a great car. There is nothing to it. Great gas mileage, comfortable, nice interior and exterior, and I love the features, especially the navigation system. Although the windshield wipers dont work well dry, the only other complaint I have is the lack of heated seats.

  Civic Horror Story - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Ladyluck1 - May 30 - 5:33 pm

  I thought this was my dream car. Traded in a 2001 Nissan Altima. (Miss it) I bought this car on Monday and its been in the shop since Wednesday. Car broke down on my way to work, once I got it started again, engine light came on, took it to dealership and they couldnt duplicate problem. Broke down again the next day, on my way to work, car still in shop. They state it wont be fixed until Monday or Tuesday, have to install a a whole new assembly? Refuse to give me money back, no offer of another car to made good on bad Civic. First new car in 20 years and thought Honda was the best. The exterior is awesome, love the dash. Cant comment on mpg, havent drove it or had it long enough to know

  2008 Civic Gas Mileage - 2008 Honda Civic
  By RHA - May 28 - 1:10 pm

  My 2008 Civic LX has 18K miles on it. Wintertime gas mileage around town is about 34, summertime 36-37. Today I filled up full and got 40.1 mpg with all around-town driving. With highway driving, using the cruise control and making sure that RPMs dont exceed 2,000 (so about 60 mph)I can regularly get 47+ mpg. If I increase speed to 65 mph, mileage drops to about 42 mpg, so I lose about 1 mpg for each mph over 60 mph I drive. Im glad I didnt spend the extra money for a hybrid. This car is a gem.

  Go Green With Confidence In A Hybrid! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By SuzieQNC - May 24 - 8:23 am

  I love my 2008 Civic Hybrid! Great gas mileage 46 with combo hwy and city driving! Great handling! Good pickup - way better than the 2007 Camry I owned/endured for 6 months before getting rid of it and buying the Hybrid! The Civic Hybrid is quiet and well built. The gas engine shuts down when stopped to save gas! A major plus for traffic jams or a slow crawl in to work! Interior is spacious - only a few inches smaller than the 2007 Camry! Backseat is fairly roomy - not huge, but certainly adequate. Interior styling is nice - two tiered dash with digital mph readout, mpg calculator, outside temp, etc.

  Honda rules! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Jack in NorCal - May 23 - 7:46 pm

  This is my third Honda, and my first Civic. My last two were accords, both bought new. I just sold my 91, with 326k on the odometer, for $1,800! Looked and ran almost as good as new. You take good care of a Honda and itll return the favor. This Civic is an awesome little car, roomy, zippy, comfortable. The gas mileage is fantastic. I have a heavy foot and its hot where I live in the summer. I usually set the cruise control at 75, drive 50 miles a day, 5 days a week, with the A/C on, and Ive been averaging 34 mpg! The build quality is typical Honda, tight panel gaps, no creaks or rattles. Overall, I have zero complaints. Honda has done it again!

  Where is the quality? - 2008 Honda Civic
  By John - May 2 - 12:20 am

  I have been in the automotive business for 15 years. I have owned or leased almost every make vehicle including Toyota, Ford, GM and Honda. This Honda Civic is my 3rd Honda. Of all the vehicles I have owned, by far I have had the most problems with Hondas. The engine and transmission may be smooth and reliable, but the little annoying problems like the constant flickering of the check engine lights (all 3 have had this problem). Very disappointed and frustrating. Ive had less problems on my GM owned vehicles - far less! These vehicles are riding on the reputation of Hondas many years ago. Believe it or not, many American vehicles have surpassed the so called Honda quality. DISAPPOINT

  The perfect small car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By arcticracer - April 28 - 10:16 am

  This little car is a gem. My first criteria was MPG, but I got way more than I expected. It was hard to find one with a manual, but I am old school (52 yrs) and prefer it by far. After over 7000 Alaska miles I have averaged 33.7 MPG. On the highway in summer I have reached over 46. With a set of General Altimax Arctic studded tires my Civic sticks to the gnarly Alaska winter roads like glue. Snow tires cost 5 MPG. Handling is precise, sporty, and steering balanced and neutral, leaning slightly toward oversteer. With over 6 months of ice and snow, I have been amazed with the sure-footed habits of the Civic. My wife also loves driving it.
