  Better than expected - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Klein - December 17 - 1:26 pm

  We bought the hybrid civic new in 12/07. After 6500 miles I am more impressed than the day I bought it. My best MPG is to date is 58.5! Thats 600.7 miles when I filled up I could only fit 10.26 gallons in the tank. I have twice averaged 56 MPG and easily can do 50-53 MPG. It is all in how you drive these cars, I spend a lot of time keeping momentum and if you are at speeds less than 45 mph you can very lightly press the throttle pedal and run only on the electric motor. I love this car! Great fuel mileage and Honda build quality.

  Perfect Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By hondahoot - December 13 - 4:13 pm

  Im a college student, and my parents bought me this car at graduation. It is the perfect car for a college kid. Its dependable, sporty, safe, fun to drive, and turns heads. My parents like knowing that I always have my seat belt on, and that I love my car. Plus I get at least 36 mph on the highway. I have the rally red, and I just had the under spoilers and moonroof visor put on it, and people love it. Could not be happier. Plus the iPod aux jack is great, I never listen to the radio.

  Great Car - In Most Situations - 2008 Honda Civic
  By BigJon - December 12 - 11:03 am

  Im writing this review to call out one design problem with the Civic. On a long trip the front seats are downright painful. We took a 600 mile trip at Thanksgiving, my wife (56") drove down and I (61") drove back and we both developed a pain which lasted for about 24 hours afterward. We tried multiple driving positions but to no avail. It was bad enough that well never use that car on a long trip again. We got just under 35 miles to the gallon going 80 mph and fully loaded, which was great, but again - if I had purchased this car for a lot of long haul driving Id already be looking for a replacement. Mileage around town has been disappointing - about 25 mpg.

  Excellent - 2008 Honda Civic
  By honda from now on - December 5 - 10:13 pm

  I have been driving this car for the past month and I love it. I took two long trips and during one I got 31 mpg. The other was a whopping 34.8 mpg I am loving this at the pump. The car is fun to drive and is very peppy. I came from a large SUV and although the ride is quite different, I wouldnt trade my Honda for anything.

  Just bought another Honda! - 2008 Honda Civic
  By m1e1b1s1 - November 30 - 12:46 pm

  We had planned 3 years ago to purchase a truck when we paid off our Accord, however with gas prices as they are. We were looking at either a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, Honda of course won out! We now own 3 Hondas, our Daughter has a 94 Civic, which still runs GREAT with 170K (shes a teenager), our Accord is great as well..its only 3 years old :-) I just LOVE my new Civic. Its roomy, amazingly not much smaller than our 2005 Accord, we had thought another Accord, however our teen will be graduating and off to college, leaving my DH, myself and our 8 yo son, so a Civic is big enough. We look forward to many years with our Hondas!

  Superb Machine - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Steve T - November 29 - 8:10 pm

  I traded an F-150 Lariat. No regrets. This a great little car. Its tight, plenty of pep. The transmission is smooth. Fit and finish is top quality. The moon roof is great. Very fun to drive. Im 6 ft tall and there is plenty of room. The first tank of gas gave 30.27 MPG. 60% cty 40% hwy. My fuel consumption just got reduced by half. Ive only had this car for a week but it looks like fuel will just get better as it breaks in.

  Great Car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By bmidd31 - November 26 - 2:00 pm

  This is my 7th Honda I have owned and already love it. I sold my 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5SL for this car. I was not happy with the Nissan and did not like the 28 MPG on a 4 cyl engine. The bottom line is Nisaans are not Hondas.

  Seriously Indulging - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Si Senor - November 15 - 9:43 pm

  Bought this car a little over a year ago. Still just as pleased as I was then as I am now. Car drives very well for the function that it serves, can be driven as a fuel efficient commuter or racy sports car. I, on avg, get about 24-27 MIXED mpg and when driving more conservatively I can get this up to 31-32 mpg, believe it or not. As almost everyone else says, this car is fun to drive and master. The engine note at 6000 RPMS is really cool to hear, really feels as if youre driving a more exotic sports car. In this price point some of these features are hard to beat. I drove this car to its limits after the break in period and still enjoy doing so, though not as often, fuel efficiency. :)

  Absolutely love my car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Garth - November 15 - 6:06 pm

  This is the first Honda i have ever bought. I was looking for something that was practical and sporty. It offers both very well. I compared to WRX, GTi, Lancer...etc, and overall i believe that this car offers the most bang for your buck. Very reliable car and reasonable gas mileage for a car that outputs 200 hp and revs to 8k rpm.

  Why all of the bad press? - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Danilo Umali - October 31 - 3:16 pm

  I have traded-in my 2004 Honda S2000 because I needed more space. This car gives up very little in terms of handling and performance. I love the way the car looks and the exclusivity of owning one. I guess I am a little too old (31) for the Fast and Furious look, but everything thing added to the car has a purpose and has been engineered as such. I imagine that this car is marketed to a select few, but I hope Honda keeps the Mugen cars coming stateside. I also love the color. This is the first car I have owned that is not white, silver or black.
