"I am 6"4" tall and I fit into this car pretty well. I find the bucket seats a bit uncomfortable, but not terrible. My wife generally drives this car, and she likes it very much. Mileage better than advertized."

"After a month of driving it, I love my Si Sedan. I prefer it to the newer model since I like the higher rpm driving style and sound. The mileage is no great shakes for a Civic, but that isnt why you buy these. The stereo is magnificent and is by far the best in the price class. The seats are surprisingly comfortable in the front and back. You cant buy more fun at this price point in a car that is remotely practical."

"this is my 4th honda coupe, a 2009 civic ex... great mileage, great stereo, very comfortable interior, handles well, looks great... love the 2 level dash downside is an occasionally rough ride, a little noisy and a little underpowered with a full load and the a/c running... fairly typical for a small car... very satisfied with this car for the little i paid..."

"I bought this car new at the downturn of the economy and am I glad I did. peppy, easy on the gas and no repairs. Travels very well on the highway even at excessive speeds. Handles like a go cart and even with 45K on it the brakes are still good but it's time for tires. New tires are going to make this little baby feel new again. i can't wait."

"I bought this car new in the middle of 2009 because I travel a bit for work and wanted a car that gets decent mileage. The car didn't drive well at all the first winter and when the winter was over, I found out the back tires were completely worn (no tread). When I found it out, the car had almost 20k on it but I only had it 10 months. The dealer told me the allignment was off and that I needed 4 tires. I didn't get any help from honda on the tires despite the car only being 10 months old and the car having less than 20k on it. Aside from that, I am fairly happy with the car. The car is low but seems to handle well and get decent mileage. The only other concern I have at this point (after 44k miles) is the poor ride quality in the back seat. Friends have complained about it and I didn't know how bad it was until I rode back there. It almost feels like there is no suspension. The dealer took a look at it and didn't notice anything wrong. His comments were something along the lines of it only being a civic and wasn't built to ride like an accord."
