  Great Economy Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By MiamiDriver - August 19 - 11:16 am

  My 2008 Civic is the 4th Honda Ive owned. It seems to continue Hondas fine tradition of stylish, economical, reliable transportation.

  Great value - 2008 Honda Civic
  By John - August 14 - 8:40 am

  Great car for the money. I have driven this car over 700 miles and love it. It has been great on gas, 50/50 city/highway driving and I have been getting an average of 32 mpg. I find the seats to be very comfortable and love the dash board. Lots of room for a small car. I have two children and they both fit well in the back seat. The car is smooth shifting and relatively a quiet ride. I would highly recommend this car to a friend.

  Great car at great price - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Dave Painchaud - August 8 - 3:36 pm

  After researching all hybrids I narrowed it down to the Prius and the Honda Civic. I settled on the Civic because its a better looking car. I love the car and get about 40 mpg all around. I purchased a new Civic hybrid with navigation for $22,101 including destination charge. It was $24,350 out the door. Apparently that is about $1,000 under invoice. Use the Costco discount and go to the internet mgr. Im completely satisfied.

  Great car for the money. Not sure why some people arent getting good fuel economy. My driving is about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city, and my worst tank in 6 months of ownership has been 33.5 mpg. I average 34.5 - 35.0 mpg, with spirited driving. My best tank was 37 mpg while I tried to baby it.

  Review at 18750 miles Honda Civic - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Umi - August 2 - 4:50 am

  I wrote several reviews and will try to keep updating how is my Honda doing. Ok As of today, no mechanical failure. Have a plan to change the brakes at 20K miles. MPG improved from 22 to 24.5 mpg in just in city driving. Tires are fine and have a plan to drive 20K miles with the same tires as I purchased with at 10 miles. Some people complained about tires, I would say that the tires are fine. Also, the brakes will go out on the basis of your driving style. If you are aggressive driver and like to brake so often, I think no one brake will stay alive for a long time. As of today I spent $350. $120 cost me for 3 oil/oil filter change. Plus I spent $230 for air filter change on 18500 miles.

  A No Brainer - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Lenny - August 2 - 3:10 am

  just bought this car for my wife. after 2 weeks of hopeless negotiation with Toyota, i finally came to my senses. i almost paid 21,700 for a 09 corolla S series, with tax. that blue speckled interior is just childish. i was gonna go with the XLE but I couldnt see paying over 20 grand for a car with hubcaps. i decided to buy this car, and i got it for 22,100 with tax. WITH leather, WITH navigation. vs. the corolla. theres just no comparison. the leather definitely brings the car "to the next level". Its the nicest car youre gonna get unless you can afford an accord, or an acura. bottom line. and the only car for 22,000 youre ever gonna get with leather. open the car door and inhale!

  Need brakes again - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Constance - July 25 - 4:33 pm

  I just got a major service (tune up). I was told I need brakes again. In less than 2 years this will be my 4th set of brakes. They say it must be that I drive in the city. Well I have been driving in the city 37 years and never had this many brake jobs in so little time.The car sits low to the ground and scrapes the front bumper when parking head in. The inside frame between the windshield and window is so thick and slanted that you can miss pedestrians in a crosswalk. Even the smallest bump makes a big bang and it is very noisy in the cabin when on the freeway. the paint scratches and chips too easy. Gas mileage is not spectacular. Im sure there is more. Trading this as soon as I can.

  49+ MPG almost daily - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Mike Naumann - July 18 - 12:36 pm

  I drive 70 miles round trip each day to and from work. If I am not rushed, I can get over 49 MPG. I can hardly believe what an investment I have made.

  you really cant go wrong - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Daniel - July 18 - 10:46 am

  I knew with a Honda you couldnt go wrong and when I saw this generation Civics body style, I knew I would eventually own one. Im glad I waited until 2008 for the leather model as it looks A-mazing in silver w/ black interior. Fun to drive, great looks, Honda reliability...the end.

  After 14 months still a great car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Happy Hybrid Driver - July 13 - 3:30 pm

  I have a little over 48,000 miles on my Hybrid. I have driven it in many different driving conditions from the cold in western NY to the heat of the Southeast and it has performed great. I have gotten just over 45.0 mpg. I have tracked every mile and every gallon. Over my 2007 Civic LX it is a 26.1% improvement in gas mileage. I do mostly highway driving and would recommend this car to anyone.
