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.

  Impressed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By marnie - July 3 - 12:26 am

  I was absolutely amazed with the quality of my 2008 honda civic ex-l navi! Its fun to drive, it has GREAT fuel economy and its just a well designed vehicle. The navigation with voice commands is so advanced and easy to use! I would recommend this vehicle to ANY and EVERY interested car buyer, and friend of mine! Take a look at it, its reasonably priced and worth every penny!

  Fun - Practical - Affordable - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Nando - July 2 - 5:40 pm

  I started looking for a EX sedan but when I saw the EXL coupe with NAV, I knew this was the fun car for me. Ive only had the vehicle for a week and I love it. It drives like a go cart when compared to the F-150 Ive driven for the past 11 years. The Civic looks sporty, has 90 percent of the whistles and bells I enjoy in a vehicle and the price is very acceptable. Ive owned an Accord and a Pilot but the Civic wins hands down in the fun department. Everyone should get one.

  A very nice alternative - 2008 Honda Civic
  By DAVEinNY - June 27 - 8:50 am

  This Civic replaced my 04 Jetta wagon, which was a very nice car as far as amenities were concerned, but was otherwise a piece of junk. In the last two years I owned it, I had to pay $1000 each year just to pass inspection. Things broke that just shouldnt on a relatively new car. My new Civic is just like the 98 I had before the VW. It looks different, but is just as fun, just as reliable, just as economical. The new one is more powerful. I feel at home in this new Civic and plan on keeping it for a very long time. at 160,000 miles, I drove my old Civic 3000 miles cross country to sell to a friend, not a single problem. I expect this new one to be just as good, maybe better.

  I love this cars mileage and design. - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Mark - June 24 - 7:53 pm

  I drive 130 miles Monday through Friday getting to and from work. The sticker said I should get 36 mpg highway...I get 40-42 consistently, I set the cruise, that does not waiver much at all, to 76 on the highway. I do not race the car but dont baby it either. In town I consistently get 30-34 mpg and I should add that I drive with the A/C on all the time. I have 56,000 plus miles on the original tires but they make a LOT of noise. They probably have another 4 or 5 thousand miles left. The ONLY complaint I have is the lack of sight out the tiny back windows while backing out of a parking spot...its blocked by the passenger seat unless its leaned way back. I am used to it but it is a pain.

  Great all around car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Dave - June 16 - 4:56 am

  Bought the EX Sedan 1 1/2 months ago and have not regretted it. The car is very smooth and has great road handling ability. Gas mileage is very good. The quality of construction does not leave much if anything to be desired. When you shut the door you can feel you are in a solid car. Looked at the MX-3 and Corolla and the Civic won hands down. It is a nice car to take out onto the highway and and nice to zip around town in. The interior is roomier than expected for a small car.

  2008 Civic Hybrid - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Leon Gonnering - June 15 - 5:16 pm

  15,000 miles and no problem what so ever. Gas mileage is very good, at $4.00 per gallon its worth it. Handling is crisp but steering is a little too sensitive at highway speeds. Performance is all I expected, now if the front seats werent so hard and the road noise as loud I couldnt find anything to fault.

  Disappointed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Dee - June 7 - 3:33 pm

  This is my 5th Honda. Noticed with the last Honda that quality isnt what it used to be. I have had my current Honda Civic 08 car in the shop 3 times, and I only have 6000 miles on it right now, and they still cant figure out why the car doesnt start sometimes-same thing happened on the last Honda. Ride is very noisy and theres a tick at times that dealer says in the fuel injection-its too loud and distracting. Seats arent comfortable. Switch to adjust driver side window is poorly placed. Hondas used to be great cars; unfortunately, I think quality and dependability has gone down. Im also disappointed in the fuel economy for a small car.

  Good car but could be better - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Barry - May 26 - 12:20 pm

  Downsized from a Prius, payment too high. Leasing Civic for $199.00 per/mth. Civic an adequate replacement. Not the same mileage, but close. Civics’ sticker about $8,000 less than the Prius. Prius mpg 47-51 mpg. Civic is 29-41. Civics’ positives: great fuel economy 31-32 suburban, 38-41 on highway. Nice styling outside. Civic negatives: Roofline too low, hard to get in & out of and Im short. The seats are as hard as a park bench, most uncomfortable seats of any car I ever owned. Civic AC in Arizona summers sucks. AC cuts out by design during acceleration to save gas. Ride is too firm for my tastes.

  Best civic yet - 2008 Honda Civic
  By doug - May 14 - 8:40 am

  This is my fourth civic in 15 years, all of which were 300k mile plus cars and never a major repair. It is hard to believe the workmanship and performance of this generation civic for the price. I drive an average of 250 miles a day and get 40 mpg highway at 65mph. This is the same mpg as my 98 civic dx but with 35 extra hp. My LX handling is better than ever, even compared to older Si models.

  SI Is a great buy - 2008 Honda Civic
  By volcomzero - April 18 - 6:16 pm

  I am the type of person who researches everything going into purchasing a car. After 2 months of researching cars my buddy and I came across the Honda CIVIC SI Sedan. This Car is amazing!! I will never not own a Honda after this car and this car is fast for being a four door sedan. The car shifts great, when it RPMS passed 6000 VTEC kicks in and its amazing. For the price, I paid $19300 but I had to include extended warranties over 7 years 150,000 miles, that alone was 4500 dollars and with taxes, all in all, paid $25000. This is a great car, gas I am getting 32 highway and 27 city, comfortable seats, and once you drive it you will never want to drive anything else. GREAT CAR!!
