  After Three Months - 2008 Honda Civic
  By rn5 - October 24 - 11:13 pm

  After 3 months of driving, Ive settled in. The car is very fun to drive. Handling and braking: Superb. I am 56" and seating: Fine. Acceleration: very adequate. Stick shift: easy. Road noise: Not absent but certainly tolerable for conversations. Stereo is v.good and controls on the steering wheel are very handy. Plenty of storage in main compartment and trunk. The instrument panel takes very little to get used to. Panel can be adjusted for trip odometer (up to 2 trips), total mileage, outside temperature-nice. City/Hwy Mileage has been 31 steady. Hwy = 37/38. Moonroof is a must-fun! Only problem: Headlights needed adjustment (too low).

  Impressed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Impressed - October 20 - 3:53 am

  This is my wifes new vehicle and she absolutely loves it. Im pretty impressed as well. We see 29 MPG driving during the week (all city), and have gotten 38 on long highway trips. The car runs great and is a smooth comfortable ride. Ive been very impressed with the build quality and reliability of this car. It beats the heck out of my old 96 Taurus for comfort, quality, and convenience. I can see hanging on to this car for a long time. Ill be looking Honda when my Taurus dies.

  First Honda....Not the Last! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By dspears - October 13 - 12:36 am

  Just traded a 2006 Jetta Diesel for this beauty. What a great car. I am especially glad now that diesel is over 4.00 here. I saw an earlier post that trashed the transmission....mine is flawless. Smooth shifting...I was really surprised by the low rpms at 62 mph, around 2000. I am 6, and this car is super comfortable. Gas mileage is a little less than the jetta, but it will more that even out with the price difference. Combined first tank mpg was 36. I have a 07 yukon xl, and an 06 2500 chev duramax, this is by far my favorite to drive. Huge trunk, nice stereo, I really love this car.

  Amazing ride! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Deltaflaze - October 9 - 2:36 am

  I have loved every moment of driving this car. Ive only had it for a few days or so and its been an amazing experience. Im a college student who commutes and works at a hospital and its been amazing. No problems yet and I dont expect any with a Honda.

  Reliable Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Norman Matoza - October 6 - 4:50 pm

  I just bought recently my 2008 Honda Civic LXi 1.8 just one week. The best qualities that I like on this car is fuel cunsumption, space, comfort, and the power of the engine is like 2.0 liter.

  I have a bad feeling about this - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Atman - September 24 - 11:40 pm

  Ever do something then get the feeling you just did something really bad? This is a basic LX, Ive only had it 3 weeks so far, but am finding things out I hate. When you open the rear windows it creates a horrible loud noise that almost caused me to wreck. It hurts our ears so badly. I asked my dealer about it and 7 people jumped up really working me over saying ALL Hondas do it and so do all other vehicles. They are aware of the defect and have a bulletin about the buffeting noise. Im telling you, the Sonata didnt do it and neither did my 626. The interior is cheap. If you get scratches youre just out of luck. Mine came with them on the steering column. Really poor stereo.

  Ugly car, great gas mileage!! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By ChrisC - September 19 - 9:20 pm

  Overall the car is very well built and it gets great gas mileage; average is 28 mpg city. Not much as far as highways here in Hawaii, so I cant speak for that part. It is a bit of adjustment for me coming from my G35, but the gas savings more than makes up for it.

  Excellent summer car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By kls - September 6 - 2:20 am

  Overall we love our Honda Civic. It has been a good durable car that is good on gas mileage. However, for those of you who live in frigid areas... buyer beware. From groggy starts to a slowly warming engine to poor traction on ice and snow... winter will be a bit of a challenge.

  Happy New Civic Owner - 2008 Honda Civic
  By NewHondaOwner - August 21 - 10:26 am

  I test drove a number of cars, including the Prius, the Accord, a Mazda 3, a Camry, a MazdaSpeed 3, and a Ford Focus. For the price, it cant be beat. Just an amazing car for an amazing deal. It handled better than any of those cars. Not quite as comfortable as the Camry, but its a lot cheaper.

  Excellent Honda - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Stew - August 15 - 2:30 pm

  Given the time Ive had this car, I have had no problems or issues with it. It is a honda. For gas mileage see around 30 now, but only will see greater numbers after 10k miles, proven industry fact. Sporty in manners, corners like a slot car, and driven correctly, will accelerate quickly. Tight as a drum. Excellent package for the money. If you want more, buy an accord, for more $$$.
