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.

Complete Disappointment - 2008 Honda Civic
By Chris - May 28 - 2:53 amI have been wanting a Civic Si since before I can remember. Now that I have one, I wish I could return it. It feels like a Cadillac with 2 doors and a 4 cylinder engine. That is, it doesnt feel fast, the suspension is terrible, it never feels comfortable, and I just cant find a good seat position. The cabin feels claustrophobic and cramped and I am not a large person (55"). If I could return it, I would. I dont think Ill be keeping this car much longer and will take my losses. Ill give 6 months max. Completely disappointed. Depressed and dissatisfied. Ill probably never get myself to buy another Honda again.

2008 Honda Civic LX - 2008 Honda Civic
By Gary - May 21 - 7:26 amI paid $16,840 plus tax, a good deal with 4.5 % financing/3-yrs. Peppy car with 140 hp, smooth shifting, great service hours at Honda dealership, car has great looks! Rides quieter than reviews suggested. Trunk spacious. Hybrid model does not allow rear seat fold down.

Excellent Economical Car - 2008 Honda Civic
By Arthur Tucker - May 2 - 11:50 pmMy wife and I needed a new car. We have owned 7 Accords since 1987, the latest being a 2002 Accord EX. We wanted Honda quality, reliability, and resale value, but needed better fuel economy (we got "only" 25 MPG highway with the 2002 Accord EX). We have had our red Civic EX for 2 weeks now, and love this car. This is a sharp looking car. It has a sun roof, alloy wheels and anti-lock brakes. The highway ride is smooth and acceptably quiet, although a couple of bumps on bridges on I-89 in Vermont were a bit jarring. For a trip from Boston to northern Vermont and halfway back which included mixed city, highway, and country driving, we got 36.5 MPG, on only our 3rd tankful of gas.

Impressed with civic exl - 2008 Honda Civic
By andrew - May 2 - 3:46 pmJust purchased a exl civi auto. This is a luxury compact car with room in it. Sweet engine, nice leather seating and most all the bells and whistles. Quiet, sporty, frugal, and good looking. Just loving it. With good gas mileage, an upscale interior, why pay more.

Dont hesitate for a moment! - 2008 Honda Civic
By nwarmouth - May 1 - 3:53 amThis is my 3rd Civic and by leaps and bounds the best. I cross shopped the Prius and GTI and found the formers too soft handling and the latters prem fuel thirst and economy off-putting. Id vowed never to get WORSE mileage than my 02 Civic but wanted heated seats, XM and a more planted, composed and quiet ride, in a hatch if possible. The last wasnt to be but on all other counts, the Civic was the best choice out there. It is vastly more quiet than the previous gen. and feels almost as planted as a Euro car. Mileage is 30+ after 1500mi and should improve. I think this is an ideal commuter car with enough creature comforts and fit/finish to compete with cars far more expensive.

Dont Buy a Civic - 2008 Honda Civic
By gtko - March 30 - 7:00 pmThis car has design flaws. Visors that brake on regular bases (I was told that this happens a lot). Laundry hooks brake. A/C blowing hot air at stop lights (I was told this is normal). I have just made my 4th payment and the crappy car is in the shop being worked on for the 6th time. This time the engine is rattling in the morning when it is first started because it is cold. The car also dies when put in reverse. I did not buy a new car to have to have it worked on all the time.
