Overview & Reviews
Since its launch in 1973, the Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars sold in America. Its success can be attributed in large part to its consistently high level of quality inside and out and its long-standing reputation for reliability and low running costs. Impressive fuel economy and engaging performance have also played a role in making the Civic a top choice for many Americans.
The competition has largely caught up with Honda, though, and there are now many excellent small cars vying for your attention. Still, we continue to recommend the Civic due to its ergonomic interior layout, wide range of models and high resale value. For small-car shoppers in search of a solid used vehicle, the Honda Civic is certainly a smart choice, as its long production run and many variants make it easy to find what you want.

Great value and reliable vehicle - 2008 Honda Civic
By Frank - November 4 - 2:21 pmId call this gem a little Mercedes if I didnt know better, but its better than any Mercedes. With 209,000 miles, I have never replaced anything except the tires (Kumho Solus) at 106,000 and 195,000 miles, the brakes once at 113,000 miles and the ac clutch coil & compressor at ~165,000 ($2,500 combined cost). Thats it. Going mostly hwy miles between 65 and 85 mph, I average 39 mpg. The car is deceptively fast when you need it and feels safe at speed. With the manual, it seems you can go from 65 to 95 in seconds. Only gripes: It is not great in snow. Some of the power door locks dont work, Ive disabled them all. Uses about 2 quarts of oil in between 9,000 mile oil changes and the most annoying thing: the radio volume goes up & down with your speed and I cannot find a way to fix that.

Fun to Drive and Overall a Good Value. - 2008 Honda Civic
By Dana - November 3 - 7:16 pmFun to drive? Thats Because my Civic is averaging 32-35 mpg, now I can actually afford to drive. I drive approximately 70% highway and 30% city and back roads. Our highways are hilly here in West Virginia and my city driving includes many steep hills. In flatter terrain it should approach 40 mpg. The Civic is sporty / fun to drive and handles most driving conditions well. I actually look forward to driving it. Value: Hey, I did the comparisons too, it has one of the highest MSRPs in its class. Check the private party sale value of a 2006 Civic LX AT with 60K miles. The true market value of $12K is more than the asking price of new 2008 models in this segment less the Corolla.

Think before buying - 2008 Honda Civic
By Stephanie - November 3 - 3:25 amThe paint WILL fade on this car as part of the manufacturer paint recall and they will only pay 25% to help you fix this problem even though you bought this car from HONDA! They told me it was 2 years past warranty and "I was lucky that they were even helping cover the cost to repair the paint at all". The service is ridiculous, I highly suggest you buy your car from a manufacture that actually takes responsibility for a known defect in the car.

Red Civic - 1995 Honda Civic
By Little red Civic - November 3 - 12:43 amI bought this car used in July as I knew the owner. It gets thirty plus mpg but I have gotten over 40 mpg on a trip. So far have put a set of front brakes and rotors, a muffler and adjusted the valves. It has 170000 miles and feels like its good for that many more.

Great car at low price - 2008 Honda Civic
By BigRed - November 2 - 3:20 pmI bought this car to replace my truck due to gas prices. I did not even test drive it, just got into after I signed the paperwork and I dont regret it. I just drove about 10 hours in the car, only had to fill up once from MS to SC about 37 MPG. The only things I found wrong is if you smoke like I do when it is raining the water will come in the front window and there is no ash tray in the car. Also there is not any cup holders in the rear.

Silver Paperweight - 2002 Honda Civic
By PDBob - November 1 - 2:00 amIts a good car, but more like Ford than Honda. Picked it over Elantra for reliability and crash test data, Elantra more comfy & powerful, better stereo, & $3-4K less. Handling sucks (drive a new Corolla). Window regulators shouldnt break from normal use. Paint chipped after 100 miles! Only gets 25MPG! Headlights dim when driving. Trunk dumps water inside when opened (from lights on trunk). Gas & brake petals too close, knee hits steering wheel. Right foot needs more room (have big feet, bigger shoes). Headrest makes better door than window, blocks rear view. Sun visor clip too tight. Driver door creaks. Ridiculous oil change procedure.

Not that good! - 2004 Honda Civic
By Brenda Starr - November 1 - 2:00 amStarted out at 44-45 mpg; after 5,000 gets avg.of 34.Im disappointed. I do even mix of city & hiway. Flat out on open hiway gets 45. Low profile body is a disaster. Constant scrapes. Fenders pop out if bumped. Dealer has checked many times and tells me its my driving, and that it "has to be babied". I wish I had bought a Toyota!

Great car - 2004 Honda Civic
By ngagun - November 1 - 2:00 amI recently bought an 04 Civic LX coupe and I am very pleased with it so far. I bought the car at Honda of Hollywood, where the staff were friendly and helpful -- the bargaining was hard but fair, and I came away with a great deal. The Civic is one of the great cars of our time!

Fun and well priced. A drivers car. - 2003 Honda Civic
By mugen00 - November 1 - 2:00 amIve had the privilidge of driving many cars from Geos to Ferraris and NSXs. The Si is hands down one of the most fun and solid-feeling cars I have driven. It feels like its on rails. Picked mine up for $16k and would do it all over again if I had to. Its Reliability, fun factor, efficiency, and performance far overshadow its few shortcomings. After having had 4 other Hondas I considered other makes, but few lived up to my 98 Prelude that I was replacing. For anyone looking for a new car I would highly recommend you at least look at this car.
