I bought a NEW 2006 LX civic coupe 1.

I bought a NEW 2006 LX civic coupe 1.8L in 2006 black with a tan interior and it was of course a manual transmission, I owned the car from 2006 until 2013. I drove it as a daily and went on some long road trips and did not have a problem with it at all, but I did do my maintenance every 6,000 miles. also the recall came out for the 06-08 1.8L engines in I believe 2009 and was good until 2019 DEC. Unfortunately, I had to sell in 2013 and I regretted it ever since, so I bought another one (Silver 2008 Civic coupe 179,000 miles manual transmission) in 2019. I still have it and I've driven from Los Banos, California to Phoenix, Arizona several times now and its very comfortable and has been reliable. I have also taken it to Copperas Cove, Texas. So I recommend this car as long as you have gone over it very meticulously from top to bottom. I recommend 2006-2011 Honda Civic Manual Transmission and also 2012-2013 Honda Civic Manual Transmission. Coupe or sedan. MANUAL TRANSMISSION. Have it looked over by a good mechanic and look for service records also.

This is full of recalls.

This is full of recalls. Really bad quality. There was a service bulletin issued in 2017 for engine block extending warranty to 10 yrs from orig purchase date. I bought my 2006 civic when it came out in 2005. The extended warranty was gone by the time they issued the bulletin and I now have no chance of getting it fixed.

Reliable, good gas mileage, great car

I am absolutely heartbroken that I have to give up this gem of a car! I got her for $4200 pre-pandemic. She took me everywhere even a couple 9+ hour drives with no issue and excellent gas mileage. Never had any mechanical issues - just kept on top of maintenance. Had an accident and the damage is unfixable, so I need to give her up. Aesthetically, the paint does tend to chip, but as a person who doesn’t care about looks it never bugged me. A smooth running faithful steed until her last days. I strongly recommend this car!

The very best car I've owned to date

I purchased in my 2006 Civic LX in October 2006. I noticed that it was more spacious than I'd remembered my previous Civic or Nissan Sentra. It was peppy (not fast) and got excellent mileage. I drove it an average of 50 miles a day. Other than regular maintenance, it had no repair issues. Sadly, in 2015, it was hit from behind by a motorist moving about 45 mph in a mini-van (we were at a stand still). The car was totaled, but the passengers (my 12 y.o. son and me) were fine. Great car. I have another, newer, Civic now. I'm not as fond of it as I was that 2006. Honestly, I'd buy another one.

I love this car

This car was my baby for 14 years, I love it. Very few issues other than general wear and tear that happens over 14 years. I bought it in 2007 and ir only had about 1500 miles on it, now it has over 270,000 but still ran great. Sadly, my baby was totaled in accident a couple weeks ago and I would do anything to get it back. I love this car so much.

Best car I’ve ever owned

This car was my bud for 11 years. Im selling her because I want a ll wheel drive but I’m not going to lie I have tears to give her up. She hs been incredibly dependable, amazing gas mileage, she has rallied through the snow (I live in Mammoth Lakes, Ca). I’ve replaced the basics throughout the years and have been so with the $8,700 I spent when it had 74,000 miles. It now have 255,000 miles and won’t quit. I just put up for sale and have 5 buyers in line in hour. Im sad to give her away.

06 civic lx

The car had been in a head on crashed & was over priced. Nothing had been fixed nor replaced. The car ran & I guess that was enough for the dealer to charge me what he did.
