Used 2006 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Civic snow dilemma
My Honda has been reliable in fair weather and rain, but snow, I find it a problem to get up some of the smallest hills. I bought a manual transmission hoping I would have more control in the snow. I thought it was the tires, so I bought new tires, still have the same problems. Also, I open the window and water seems to pour in on the controls when it's raining and rolling the window down usually has cleared the windows in past vehicles, but it doesn't, seems the like the rubber squeegy is on the wrong side of the window? Had a ford contour w/ no problems in snow.
Bad in Wisconsin Snow!!
I bought my Civic because I had always heard they were great cars. This car drives great unless there is snow. It is not good in the snow at all. It constantly fishtails and I do not feel safe at all. I think this would be a great car if I lived in FL but would not recommend for the northern states that get a lot of snow!!

Worth the wait
The new Civic Si is a practical high performance car. It has 197 h.p. and also gets 32 m.p.g. It is priced under $20,000 and is very well equipped, including sunroof, 350 watt sound system and special Si interior features. After my 1996 Civic the new Si seems like a space ship with the digital speedometer placed like a heads-up display and the steep windshield ahead. The car is very quiet and the 2 liter V-tec engine is as smooth as butter. The drive-by-wire throttle is super responsive and the performance is excellent through all six gears.The electric power steering has a great road feel to it, and has a quick ratio for right-now response. Great job Honda!
Last Honda I'll ever buy
Must be another version of the 2006 Civic I don't have. What's wrong? Unacceptable radio reception. Most uncomfortable seat I have ever had in an automobile. Auto 5spd is a disaster around town (5th gear 1K rpm @35 mph, give me a break!). Front driver side visibility is terrible especially when made worse by poor wiper blade coverage. And the wipers are also incredibly noisy. Plastic dip stick, please!
Honda Civic Si 2006
I purchased my 2006 Honda Civic Si on 12/23/2005. I was going to purchase an S2000, however, the Si is very comparable in performance, but about $15,000 less. Very fun to drive! Very comfortable! Great visibility! Great design of interior with many storage compartments! Stereo is superb! Handles as well as much more expensive sports cars at a fraction of the cost! Love it!
