The only other change for the Civic line this year is the new availability of leather seating for the new EX-L trim level.

  Modern, Economic, Fun to Drive, Comfort - 2008 Honda Civic

  Wish I had bought one sooner - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Scott - June 9 - 9:13 pm

  The coupe is a fantastic vehicle. On the first tank of gas I got 7.5 more mpg than my previous car. The ride is extremely comfortable, it rides like a car that costs much more. Having the controls on the steering wheel is an added bonus of the EX that I enjoy. I dont have to take my eyes off the road or my hands off the wheel to change the volume or station.

  Everything I expected - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Sarah - May 20 - 3:40 pm

  Ive had my civic for ~5 months now, and put over 9,000 miles on it. Its been fantastic, and Ive only had to get an oil change once (because of the new more aerodynamic design, according to my dealership). Its a solid car, that I am very happy with. I did a lot of background research before I made the purchase, and it definitely stood far out beyond the other cars of its class. Its got a slightly sporty interior, that honestly feels luxurious. My only real complaint is that Ive been getting approx. 30 mpg highway. I was expecting much higher, but considering I dont exactly drive in a way conducive to ideal gas mileage.

  Nice car... - 2008 Honda Civic
  By matt_landers - May 17 - 12:56 am

  Having owned a 2006 Honda Civic LX and traded that to an Accord with gas prices going nowhere but up I decided to go back to the Civic but with the upgraded EX version. Im glad I did. The little differences... wiper variable speed, sunroof trunk release on the key fob and 350 watt sound system and some other minor differences have me enjoying this car more enjoyable than the 1st time. If any problems happen develop.. Ill be sure to write back but almost a month into my ownership, Im happy.

  2008 LX noisy and cramped - 2008 Honda Civic
  By b - May 16 - 5:00 pm

  2dr lx is way too cramped inside. The parking brake handle runs my knee cap raw. Im 59 170 lbs, a average sized person and I cannot find a comfortable seating position in this car. My legs are very cramped and my arms barely reach the radio controls once I get the proper leg position. The automobile was obliviously designed for smaller stature people. Car is extremely noisy on highway trips. The radio volume must be elevated to drown out the tire noise at highway speeds. Evidently Honda did not invest in soundproofing. Many blind spots, cannot see the front or rear end of the car when attempting to park. My ADVISE Buy a Toyota Corolla

  Awesome Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Daniel0127 - May 6 - 2:53 am

  This car is simply FANTASTIC. I love every feature of it, its sexy, sporty, handles terrific, has great gas mileage and the price is fair for all the feature you get especially the EX model. It has a very strong chassis too. Once I slammed a Cadillac CTS on the back at a full 30 mph without hitting the breaks, I thought I had totaled the car, but only the bumper got scratched. INCREDIBLE. I was totally surprised by that. I think this car is definitely the best one there is out there in its category. Anyone one considering buying one, dont hesitate. Ive only done oil changes to it and its been great to me..

  Im lovin it - 2008 Honda Civic
  By bonjovess - April 23 - 12:10 pm

  I have always driven American made cars. I would never give in to the Honda hype. So many people had them. When gas prices went up these recent months I decided it was time to trade my SUV to save gas money. It took me a few weeks to get used to the small size, but now Im hooked. The first two tanks of gas alone sold me. I am surprised how well my civic handles. I have driven it in pouring rain and not been afraid, the steering is very good. I was shocked how quickly I have gotten used to the smaller size. The only true complaint is that since I am a tall girl (58") it is kind of hard to get in and out of. Once I am in though, Im very comfortable.

  Nice car but.... - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Dave - April 20 - 12:50 pm

  I have owned this vehicle for 1 year and have about 29,000 miles on it. The vehicle handles good. Gas mileage is good. I was rear ended at 10mph by a Jeep Cherokee and the vehicle suffered a lot of damage. I was told that the steel in the civic is not as strong as other vehicles I guess for weight? Any way not too impressed. Happy I leased it for 24 months and cant wait to get out of the lease. I suggest leasing and if you like the vehicle buy it after the lease is up, if you dont like it you can return it like I will. I need something fuel efficient and fun to drive this is not as fun.

  A/C system unsatisfactory - 2008 Honda Civic
  By leggo - April 11 - 12:43 am

  Test drove two different Honda Civics today. In both, the A/C cooling dropped to 50% of normal when idling at a light. Only cool when moving. On takeoff, hot air blows through vents because sensor apparently shuts A/C off during hard acceleration. The A/C and cooling fans in this car are unsatisfactory. Dealer said theyve had alot of complaints about it. Cant believe Honda let this one out the door. Ill pass on the Civic and Accord. Accord didnt handle/ride very well. Nice car but overrated.

  So far pretty good - 2008 Honda Civic
  By grk - March 10 - 4:36 am

  I wanted a small car. All small cars I test drove were only 128 hp. Upgrade to 140 hp for a marginal price increase and similar gas mileage was the main reason for us to buy this car. Milage was low intially but picked to 33 mpg for half freeway and half within city driving conditions. I wish they had remote trunk popup button on the key.
