"When I needed a simple fuel economic car to drive to work, my first thought was simple: a small car. but what small car will give me the fan and happiness of the daily 100 miles commute? Well I didn't have to test drive tons of cars. Civic came up out right from the search to the buying; reviews, comments and reliability of Honda stood out every where. I made the move and got my first used civic and I enjoy every single mile I drive with this car. And most of all, it saves me $40 bucks a week on gas. I always get that 35 to 40 miles per gallon"

"I bought the LX model with 49K. Soon after, I noticed that it seemed to kick slightly to the side when going over small bumps in the road. Took the car to the dealer to find out that there is a recall on the upper rear control arms- they were made too short!!!!!which caused a geometric instability in the handling. Not just mine, buy all of them. Honda covered the repair, which did fix the problem, but wow, I thought that I was buying a well made product. Next, I discover that there is a defect in the engine block, causing many to fail. Mine did not, but the engine temp was very unstable from 80K forward. The final blow came when the transmission failed at 106K. I wholesaled the car at a large loss and am thoroughly disgusted with Honda. No More!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"I was looking for a car with good gas mileage to drive back and forth to work. I decided to buy a hybrid, but wasn't sure wich one to buy. After looking at 6 or 7 Priuses, I decided on the Honda Civic. It has all the extras (GPS Navigation, digital radio/MP3 player combo). Even with 123K miles on the car I purchased, it runs like a champ. With a 1.3L engine, it doesn't have a lot of get up and go, but it's peppy for such a small engine. This model is rated at 40/45 MPG. I'm not sure what shape the hybrid battery is in, but I get about 35 MPG. I'm very happy with it. I also have a GMC Sierra. The Honda gets 2 times better gas mileage than the Sierra. I actually don't mind filling upo the Honda!"

"I just bought the car two days ago. So far, so good. Other than that, I don't know how to review a car. I'm just doing this in the hope that I'll stop getting Cars.com Honda Civic ads on Facebook, Yahoo and several other websites."

"After owning 5 generations of Honda Civics now, this is the worst one I've owned. If you've driven the prior Honda Civics, they were light, zippy and always 30+ mpg. Before you consider this vehicle, consider the following: - I'm a single owner of a 2006 Honda Civic EX. The only addition I've added to this car is the stock mud flaps. It was acquired with less than 1k miles, and currently has a bit over 67,000. - Idle is rough in this car and shakes everything pretty badly. The idle is way too low, hovering around 600 and drops. It's cut out on me twice, although starting back up. Around 30,000 miles ago was the last incident. - Air flow in the car is horrible. If you open the window, even a crack, it's hello snow, hello rain! I've tried every possible combination, from vents on (and open from outside), to various ways of opening each window and moon-roof. If you're a smoker, I can't imagine you have a good time driving this vehicle. The incoming wind blows strait in your face, no. matter. WHAT. - Power. It's not your 90's Honda. It feels heavy, and it is. Even with my 5-speed, getting on the highway is uncomfortable and more distance is needed for both acceleration and, especially stopping. - The road. You're going to feel it, every little pebble of it. The tires will make the most difference for a comfortable ride, and I had to spend $500 to get the comfort I desired with a very good set of tires. - Gas mileage. It's never what they say. I'm getting approximatley 24-27 miles per gallon in this car. The good thing is, that figure hasn't gotten lower. This is a healthy combination of city and highway driving. I know this review may not include the good things, but they don't outweigh the bad. It's slick looking, and the interior looks cool, and it's a safe car. That's about it."

"The car I bought was a 4 door 2006 civic EX. Eventhough the car has 150000 miles it runs nice. I give 4 stars on performance because I use to have Accord and I really miss some more power."

"the Price just only for Finance. they gave me difference price( walking price is more expensive than Calling ). BUT.... the price on the website is just for Finance. Cash have to be more around $ 3000 + Internet Price... And The Seller is Rule, they talk like they don't want you to buy it. You guys should call them to ask the price before going to see the cars ."
