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.

  Civiv Hybrid -Home Run - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Wayne S - October 31 - 4:23 pm

  I went from driving a Grand Prix for the last 20 years (6 cars) to a Civic Hybrid, and couldnt be more pleased. It is a solid car, with lots of technology, and actually fun to drive. I am averaging 46.4 mpg, with 50/50 city/hwy. driving. I love the challenge to keep the mileage over 50 mpg. for many of my trips. I am glad I bought it when I did, because they are now hard to find in the Twin cities.

  for young couples who wants to save mone - 2008 Honda Civic
  By umi - October 26 - 8:43 am

  We bought our Honda Civic on April 2008. Since that time I am trying to calculate the miles on the each tank. But I never got more than 23 miles average MPG with the mixed driving in city and highway. I cannot believe that someone gets more than 28 miles MPG. The interior is fine except the place for speedometer. The starting of movement is fine. I can get 40-45 miles per hour when RPM under 1700. The exterior is really nice. The car is wonderful for a small family. I could get 32 miles MPG just on highway, but I never got 38 miles MPG on highway, it is unrealistic. Even I have a hard foot, I think that I could get more MPG than I have now. I made 7600 miles and generally OK with the Civic.

  Extended Warranty - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Extended Honda Warra - October 19 - 4:26 am

  Just wondering if anyone else bought the extended warranty on this vehicle-- after receiving the hard copy of this document it seems to not match what I was told it would cover--also the efforts on my part to meet the qualifications seem to be a second job on my part. I would like to hear from other Honda owners. Thanks.

  Good Car but Not Sure about Gas Mileage - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Marie - October 18 - 3:56 am

  I got a Honda Civic as my second car, got my first when I was 16 and it was a Sunfire with AMAZING gas mileage but it was old and needed a new car. I liked the Civic for all its features but mostly the gas mileage but after 800 miles and 3 tanks later I am only getting 24.5 miles per gallon and dont understand why. I wanted 29 at least like it said! So Im not happy but wondering if maybe there is a reason and if someone can tell me why I would very much appreciate it! Im just a young girl who thought she did her research well. But other than that its a GREAT car!

  Great car for todays high gas prices - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Ben - October 13 - 1:16 am

  Already have 3200 miles on the odometer. While I havent gotten the 40+mpg results, I have been averaging 38 mpg driving the speed limit. With my commute of 80 miles round trip five days a week, Id be saving over $4000 over five years (in todays $4.50 per gallon gas price) compared to the 2007 Accord V6 it replaced that gets 27 mpg in conservative driving.

  By Steve C. - October 7 - 7:06 pm

  Extremely happy with my Honda! Traded in a Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe. Loved that car...love this car! Im 64- very comfortable on long and short hops! Figured out how to drive efficiently from various hybrid websites. 48.7 overall mpg and have slowed way down! Right lane fun!

  Laughable Build Quality - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Patrick - September 20 - 8:00 am

  I bought this 2008 Honda Civic Ex brand new. Although the gas mileage is great I was averaging 33 mpg. Everything else about this car is horrible. I have been to the dealer countless times to fix suspension issues and rattles all over the car pretty much everywhere from the moon roof to the dash and pillars. The car only has 13k miles and most of the tire tread is gone. Also the road noise is really bad.

  No regrets!! Its true love :) - 2008 Honda Civic
  By lamb - September 8 - 2:13 am

  I test drove numerous cars. I wanted great MPG! I test drove the EX before I knew the EX-L was going to be produced. I thought the seats were horrible. Long story short, went to test drive the CRV again and while waiting on the salesman I looked around the showroom and saw the leather. The seats were incredible. I had no idea about the "extras" that this model had until reading postings about the LX and EX. The car has a lot of room for being a compact car. A lot of storage areas.

  2008 Honda Civic Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
  By R-U-Cirius - September 7 - 5:30 am

  1st time I drove this car, I was impressed but not sold. After I test drove the Mazda3(base model, manual trans.) 3 days later, I was leaning towards it. I collected my tribe later that day and since wed be driving past the Honda dealer on the way, I decided to give the Civic another look. Boy Im glad I did! We were all fairly impressed with the Civic, particularly the backseat leg room. After the 2nd test drive of the Mazda3 (auto trans this time) we made a unanimous family decision. The styling, particularly the ugly taillight design, tight legroom and general ho-hum design, led us back to the Civic. I couldnt be happier after buying a Civic. Great value, in my opinion the best in class!

  Bang for your buck - 2008 Honda Civic
  By LMULion - August 31 - 2:53 pm

  My ratings are based on comparing the Civic to other vehicles in its price range and this car really has the competition beat. Voice nav, play any digital media through aux, plenty of torque to get around LA traffic, no parking spot is too small and I get 28 mpg even though Im always punching the gas. My previous car was a 98 BMW 540i with lots of power and surprisingly this car speeds up well considering its engine size. Combine all that with low maintenance costs ($40 for oil change, no prob) and a great warranty and this car leaves Nissan, Toyota and Mini in the dust.
