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.

  Fun car to drive. Easy to handle. Good vision. Like the dash and controls. Dont know real gas mileage yet. Radio is great. Navigation is superior to add-on versions. Hits the road very well for a vehicle this size. Value for what we paid is good.

  Nice car. - 2008 Honda Civic
  By evped - February 7 - 5:43 pm

  Ive owned many Hondas and this one is the best. I dont understand the low mpg that others complain about. Every Honda Ive owned has averaged whatever the highway mpg figure is. I drive mostly highway and keep the tires inflated and the speed under 70 mph. My lowest mpg has been 38 and the highest was 42.

  Exactly what I needed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Chris - January 17 - 7:36 am

  My needs were simple; I am in a household where we typically need a second car from time to time. I wanted a car that delivered good MPG and was safe and reliable that I could pass on to my teenager in a few years. I looked at the compact and subcompacts from Chevrolet, Scion, Toyota, Nissan, Saturn, Pontiac, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mazda, Hyundai and Kia. The best compliment I can give the car is that I wouldve still bought for myself even if I didnt have a child approaching driving age. I really love driving it on my work commute. It really is a great car that is a much better value than the ones I listed above. Plus, it will be a dependable and safe "starter" car for my kid in a few years.

  Spectacular - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Obinna - January 2 - 12:56 pm

  This car has given me faith in compact cars. Before I bought this car I never liked compacts since Im a tall dude. But the space in the care is remarkable. The drive is notable as well as its smooth cornering at sharp bends. Honda,once again, has lived up to expectation.

  Fun and Practical for this 23 year old - 2008 Honda Civic
  By cagekicker17 - December 16 - 9:56 am

  So far I have close to 2000 miles on the odo. Its a fun car to drive given its size. I have been averaging 26-28 mpg with city driving. I really like the fact that the civics now come with a 5 speed tranny. I use to have an 01 civic coupe and my new one is improved all around. The wipers are neat too. They have air foils on them so you get a better swipe of the wipers as you are moving because it presses against the glass. My next vehicle well be a civic si or maybe the diesel if they bring it over from Europe.

  Very Satisfied - 2008 Honda Civic
  By John - December 3 - 5:36 am

  Previously owned a 2001 Civic EX. I liked the car, but it unfortunately got totaled. Walked away without a scratch. Accordingly, I purchased another Civic as a replacement. I liked my 2001 Civic, but I LOVE this one! It is MUCH more refined, drives much better, is quieter, has more room, etc. MUCH better car!

  Incredible Smiles per gallon - 2008 Honda Civic
  By xinuguru - November 27 - 6:30 am

  After two years of driving, I compare the Si with few small sports cars. The retail price was tuff but it was cheap club membership. I have driven and ridden wheeled rockets from Kawa H1 to a 500Hp Chevelle 396 and this is the best combination of control and power that I have ever had. Highway driving is so smooth and artificial limits are an issue. The key to satisfaction is keeping the RPM at 4k with the fantastic 6 spd tranny. I regularly get at worst 26MPG and at best 32mpg at 80+ mph. 350 watts of music drowns out the background road noise. The pavement surface has a lot to do with ambient noise level.

  I drive carpool on the highway everyday (a little tight inside, but oh well) and not so much city anymore. Ive only gotten below 30 mpg in the city once, and have gotten over 38 on the highway. My usually get around 34-35 combined. I opted not to get a hybrid as it was not going to be as cost efficient for me as the regular Civic. Its not the best accelerator when pulling onto the highway, but then again I traded in my Odyssey (which I loved but could no longer afford to feed) and I smile every time I stop at the gas station.
