Used 2006 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Where is the reliability?
Bought 2006 Civic LX because of its incredible reliability history but having a real hard time keeping this newly designed car healthy. Got tired of taking my new car to dealership almost every other week. I have already gone to the dealer to fix the passenger door, passenger seat sliding assembly, recalled accelerator padel, falling steering column cover, unfoldable backseat and today - both rear shock absorbers are leaking alarming amount of fluid - need to replace both. Got so freaked out, purchased the extended warranty as I have to buy it before 6000 miles. God knows whats next! Am I the only unlucky one? This is extremely poor quality control by Honda for a redesigned car.
Cracked Engine Block @ 132K
Love the car! It was a great drive but cracked engine block @ 132K???? This seems to be an epidemic now showing up on 2006/2007/2008 Civics! Honda will not cover it because of the mileage which I think is not good PR considering it is due to to a design weakness or a manufacturing defect regardless of mileage. Hoping for an eventual recall! Also, transmission had to be replaced at 132K!
civic 2006
I like this car a lot! I just bought it about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't have chosen a better vehicle. It's very sporty looking. I've gotten so many compliments from people. The only bad side is that at night while driving, there's a glare on the windshield from the blue light (how fast youre driving). Other than that its a great car that will hold its value!
Best Civic EVER
This generation of civic is so much better. The exterior is sleek, interior is superb, handling is tighter for a front wheel drive, standard features are abundant and the fuel economy is unbelievable. The 350 watts stereo system is a big bonus. I love driving this car! Way to go Honda.
Nobody beats Honda!
I purchased my Honda in late 2005 when this new body style had just came out. I absolutely love my car. I have three kids and while we are outgrowing the car, I am purchasing an Odyssey and my husband will take this one over. We also had a Honda Accord lease that we are turning in this week. We love Honda's and that is all we have owned in the last 10 years. I have had no problems with my civic, I have almost 70K miles on it now and I have replaced the tires since I drive so much. But it is fun to drive, it is a beautiful car and the gas mileage is awesome as we all know. I would not ever hesitate to purchase a Honda! Plus I have 3 uncles that are certified Honda mechanics so thats a bonus!
