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.

Love It - 2008 Honda Civic
By Scott - October 24 - 5:33 amI am 62 185, fit in the car perfect no problem with leg or head room the seats hug you firmly which is nice. No sliding when turning or leaning. The dash is perfect placement and dims nicely at night when you turn on the lights. Got 45 miles to the gallon highway to Missouri from Connecticut doing 60 with a full trunk back seat and a passenger and is extremely quiet. AC perfect in 90 degree weather and the heat is fantastic now, a very insulated car, is still warm after an hour of sitting. Only complaint is the placement of the hand brake pressing against my knee, other than that the car is perfect..

Pleasantly surprised - 2008 Honda Civic
By S Borden - October 16 - 1:03 amI chose this car because dealers were gouging on the Prius. I have been very pleasantly surprised. My mileage has been 48 highway and 43 city-- better than expected. Road noise and stereo have not been issues and both are superior when compared to my 2005 Escape Hybrid -- and the Civic is a lot more fun to drive. I highly recommend this vehicle.

Luv R Si Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
By tarnett - October 4 - 6:50 amThis car is one of the best compromises between performance and practicality that exists today. I am getting 27 mpg during break in. Quiet as a lamb when driven normally but roars like a lion when you drive it with performance in mind. Excellent ergonomics, a shifter right out of a race car and the best driving position I can remember in any car Ive owned. Buy one, youll love it too.

Luv R Si Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
By tarnett - September 27 - 10:06 amIve owned the car for a little over a month now and I love it. We also own a 02 Civic EX sedan and having gotten used to it over the past 6 years the Si is worlds ahead in terms of performance and handling. The exterior styling, IMHO, is the best looking Honda currently available. The dash, although large, makes me feel safer. 27 MPG average which is almost as high as the rated highway MPG. The engine and exhaust notes are addictive! It is quiet in normal driving but comes alive both in performance and aurally when you want it to. The car accommodates my family with ease and can also serve as my toy when I am alone. My only disappointment is that the plastics scratch. Get one youll love it

Very Cool Car - 2008 Honda Civic
By Groovin - September 16 - 12:16 amBought in January - $21.9K internet price and have not been disappointed in the least replacing a 99 DeVille. Overall MPG average has steadily increased to 45 MPG over 8000 miles as I have learned and adjusted driving habits. Last several tanks between 48 to 50. High tank was 56 MPG! Estimate $1K savings in gas over the Caddy so far which got 19-20 MPG & took premium & that is very noticeable in the checkbook. Fun to drive & my wife takes it when she can over her 02 Crown Vic.

Saab story over. - 2008 Honda Civic
By mike crowley - September 10 - 2:50 amI had a 2003 Saab 9-3, but did not want to spend 30 plus for another car and the headache of a "european import". The Civic Si is as fun, or more fun to drive than the Saab 9-3 was. The Saab was fun to drive that is when it was not in the shop. Think twice before a 30-40 thousand dollar car and check out the Si! A fantastic little pocket rocket inside and out!

2008 Honda Civic Coupe - 2008 Honda Civic
By stravi - August 23 - 9:23 pmI can find only 2 flaws with the new 2008 Honda Civic Coupe, EX-L, 2D, Automatic: (1) horrible blind spot where backseat windows/frames meet. Must have blindspot mirrors. (2) Seatbelts tend to hit me in the neck rather than over my shoulder. Im 55". Also I dont know if the radio/navi system is bluetooth compatible. It should be for what it costs. Other than that, this car is perfect for a small, sporty, nice designed car. Leather seats are very comfortable. Back seat is even comfortable.

A must buy. - 2008 Honda Civic
By EJP - August 23 - 11:36 amI have the car for just over 2 weeks and with only a minor change in driving habits (Going speed limit) I had 46.5 mpg on 90%s city driving and 47.9 mpg for 90% highway driving. Better than the EPA ratings on mph and the car is just breaking in. I have a driving range of approximately 500 miles per tank. Not bad at all. My weekly cost for gas has gone from $150 plus per week to approximately $38 per week. The difference between a mini-van and a hybrid is amazing. Great comfort, style, performance and mph. Much more stylish than a Prius. This car is fantastic so try one and you will be a believer.

2008 Civic EX-L Coupe - 2008 Honda Civic
By Jerry - August 19 - 9:46 pmJust took delivery of my 2008 Civic on Valentines Day. I have the coupe (EX-L) 5 speed without navigation. Car handles very well and is fun to drive. The clutch and close ratio gearbox are are light and easy to modulate (third gear can be a little tricky til you get used to it). Doors close with a nice solid thunk and overall the car seems well made. The only issue that I have with the car is that the heated seats are not at all what I am used to. Previous car was a 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo SS.) My Chevys seats got hot in seconds and stayed that way, the Hondas barely get warm on high - dealer say they are "operating normally". Overall I really like the car.
