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.

  Very dissapointed - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Tito - November 16 - 12:30 am

  I trade my excellent and reliable Honda Civic VP 2005 for a Honda 2008. It was the worst decision I made on my life. I am regretting it since day one. Cheap plastic, noisy (I feel every street bump). I cannot get used to the over designed dashboard. Overall very cheap built and overpriced. I cannot afford to trade it but I will do it as soon as I can. Will never buy Honda again. Honda is sleeping on its laurels.

  Rid of the gas guzzling pickup - 2008 Honda Civic
  By John from El Paso TX - October 30 - 3:33 am

  OK, I went from a crew cab, fully loaded, Nissan Titan LE pickup to the Civic EX-L -- and I have not had this much fun in a long time. I traded, taking not too bad a loss on the trade, because of the gas prices, and long-term questionable reliability of the Titan. The Civic EX-L Coupe is another story. I am 62" tall and weigh 240, yet I can easily get in and drive this little pocket rocket and feel very comfortable doing so. Styling is great, love the leather, and acceleration is whatever you want it to be. Some comments note a blind spot. Can you people not adjust your mirrors? Properly adjusted, you never have to turn your head to change lanes. Buy this car for fun and economy.

  This car is so low maintenance and still runs like the day I bought it! So practical and still a cute car. I love it.

  2008 Si is great - 2008 Honda Civic
  By peter - October 7 - 2:10 am

  This car is strictly fun to drive. You can drive it "soft" if you want to, or rev it up all the way to 8000 RPMs and fly around the corners. Easy maneuvering, great road grip, and I think relatively quiet for a "sports" car.

  Good second car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Leon - October 5 - 6:13 am

  I was looking for a second car to make our family less dependent on each other with commuting. This car is probably the best compromise between the price and quality for a compact sedan. I enjoy driving it every time

  Im Cooking with Gas - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Konstantin - October 4 - 4:46 am

  I just got my Honda a few days ago and it definitely looks superb in terms of driving fun & reliability. I myself highly appreciate Toyota and the same goes to Honda features. What a gas mileage and smooth tranny in comparison to my previous 2000 Honda CR-V . The exterior designs just marvelous and it really satisfies you in roomy Interior as well. Honda got that little bit extra. Cmon. Come ride with us.

  Great Fun Car, Excellent Quality - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Merlin3e9 - September 18 - 8:26 pm

  This car is so much fun to drive. I want to drive it even when I have no place to go. The style is great, performance is great from a 2.0L. Above 6K RPM the engine really comes alive. Right after I bought it, I drove from Texas to California, and I got almost 32 MPG driving an average of 85 MPH. The interior is very nice, seats are comfortable even on a 2K trip. Quick throw 6 spd shifter is a blast. I wanted a car that had good looks, good performance, and good quality. This car has it all. I will be driving this car for many years to come

  Si Sedan - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Jerry Kaczmarek - September 14 - 2:50 pm

  Fantastic car for the money. Its hard to have more fun for 20k. When driving hard, it just begs you to drive harder and punish it more! DONT SHIFT!! Keep those RPMs climbin!!! Torque only kicks in after 5000 rpms which is its major and pretty much only flaw. 6spd manual is smooth with short throws and ability to slam gears with ease. Handling is a little snug but I experience a small amount of understeer at higher speeds. Steering firm and precise. Sound system caught me by surprise (standard sub-woofer) is actually good and ipod hook-up makes me forget about the 50lb cd case to lug around.

  Great car - 2008 Honda Civic
  By Chris - September 11 - 12:46 am

  It handles like a 5-series BMW, but gets twice the gas mileage. The steering is very quick- something new this year is that the steering is only 2.6 turns lock to lock, so it is very sensitive especially at highway speeds.

  Be Careful of Manufactures defects - 2008 Honda Civic
  By bob - September 3 - 12:30 am

  I know Honda is a great car, however, I am now on my 3rd replacement of the drives side door panel. There are blemishes and white spots along with over-spray on the bottom of the rear bumper panel. I have 3200 miles on the car and so far I have no complaints as far as any performance issues. I suggest when you buy any car to go over it with a very good eye. The dealership promises you the world before you purchase it as any car salesman would do to get your money. Its a great car however, look over it closely before you buy it for nicks and an body discrepancies.
