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.

Not happy - 2008 Honda Civic
By not happy - September 14 - 1:36 amI am getting 25 mpg hwy only 800+ miles. Its very uncomfortable. Very disappointed in my first Honda. Did loads of research and this was the all around best value, safety, gas mileage etc but I am incredibly disappointed. I even have the plastic laminate bubbling off around the windows.

Wonderful Car - 2008 Honda Civic
By Jack - September 10 - 5:40 pmBought in Nov 07 with Nav and XM. More comfortable than the BMW 335 I looked at. More comfortable seats; more headroom. On the Highway at 65 mph I get 46-50 mpg, depending on hills or flat road. In town with stop and go I get around 30 mpg in the winter and 36 in the summer for short trips. Hybrid engines need to be warmed up for good mpg. (My wifes 2006 Odyssey gets 14-15 mpg in town and 24-25 on the highway.) The mpg calculated by the number of gallons of gas I use and miles I drive is 1-2 mpg higher than that shown on the dashboard mpg computer. MPG depends on weather, avg speed, hills, frequency of stops and starts, how soon you get off the gas before you stop, and how you accelerate.

2008 HONDA EX-L 4DR SEDAN W/O NAVIGATION - 2008 Honda Civic
By TTN - September 5 - 10:40 amThis is my first time buying a Honda Civic. I have a silver exterior with gray interior. The ride is smooth, I can not hear the engine running, roomy in front and back, love features such as MP3 player, heated seats, moonroof and seat elevation for driver side. For me being 52 and 110 pounds, this is the right size car for me. I just need to get used to the steering and controlling the vehicle. the only problem I have with this car for now, when I have my sunroof open in the highway, the car seem to swerve a bit so I have to close my sunroof a little bit. It seems to swerve once in awhile. What it needs it VSA!

Wish I Bought One Sooner! - 2008 Honda Civic
By Ming - September 3 - 8:46 pmIve been driving Ford SUVs for over 20 years and with the crazy fuel prices I decided to go back to driving a car. After getting in the drivers seat, I wish I had made my decision to buy sooner! Once seated, you feel like youre in a sports car, the seat fits just right and the tilt/telescopic steering wheel adjusts perfectly! On the road the Civic is responsive and is very nimble in its handling. Having the audio and cruise controls on the wheel is great, everything is at hand and in sight. Speaking of sight, the instrument panel is in plain view, nothing is obstructed. My combined MPG is 34 and climbing. IMO Honda has done an outstanding job w/ quality and ergonomics. GREAT JOB HONDA!!

Civic EX in Galaxy Gray - 2008 Honda Civic
By Kate - August 17 - 12:43 amAlthough I have only driven my car for a short period of time I have already fallen in love with it. I previously owned a limited edition 2005 VW Jetta GLI, but due to fuel economy and no auxiliary input I got rid of it. This civic is great. This car has the best stock radio system I have ever heard...I didnt even have to put in an aftermarket sub and amp to get the bass that I wanted.

Beautiful Blue - 2008 Honda Civic
By mJc - August 4 - 6:56 pmMy 2008 Honda Coupe is a magnificent driving machine. Great gas mileage yet it still provides me with the feeling that Im driving a sporty car.

Worth it! - 2008 Honda Civic
By Bert in Florida - July 13 - 12:06 pmBest car Ive ever owned. Dont dislike anything. Have to beg the wife to drive it to work. Getting about 35- 40 mpg depending on how much highway. Fits the three boys (12,9,7) just fine, lots of room. Dont like automatics, thats why I gave it an 8 on performance. But it shifts smoothly. Im thinking of buying a second one for myself.

Excellent car overall - 2008 Honda Civic
By Valerie Phillips - July 8 - 2:40 amI have only driven the car a few thousand miles, but enough to know what a wonderful car it is! When I traded, my car payment increased approx. $50.00, however I have saved over $100.00 in gas each of the past 2 months. The ride is very pleasant and the overall workmanship of the car is great. There a few minor irritations, however I would definitely choose this vehicle again. I do wish that I would have gotten an EX-L with Navigation.

EXL-Man w/nav - 2008 Honda Civic
By Arun R - June 18 - 1:20 amI purchased this about car a couple of weeks ago an I just love the fact it gets good gas mileage, but still is nicely appointed. I was looking at other cars like the a used TSX and the new Accord. I opted for this car because of its great gas mileage and good looks. I have to be honest I live in Chicago and dont drive that much, but when I do I want to know that Im driving something that gets decent gas mileage. I know I could have probably gotten a used car, but their arent a lot of used Hondas out there with Nav. Im very happy that I got this car. The nav has come in handy numerous times. I dont know how I got along without it.

Best car on the market - 2008 Honda Civic
By steve - June 11 - 10:26 pmDrove both Civic Hybrid & Prius before buying. Civic is quieter; has fewer distractions for operator; and gets even better mileage than advertised. We have taken several 400 mile trips and find the Civic to be stable and effortless on the highway. We have discovered that keeping cruise speed below 68 mph increases gas mileage by nearly 6%. I utilize GPS on other vehicles and would prefer a more comprehensive data base on the Civic. We love the car and feel that we made the right choice.
