My Honda meets my expectations
My previous vehicle was a luxury SUV which I only used to go back and forth to work. I purchased this vehicle because of the fuel economy and reliability of a Honda. I am completely satisfied with my choice at this time. I have about 1000 miles on the car and my fuel economy is 34 mpg which more than doubles my SUV. I have only driven the car to and from work and have not yet been on a highway. I haven't found anything wrong with the vehicle to this point. I am very pleased and a little surprised with the pep this car has. I would highly recommend this car for someone looking for an excellent commuter vehicle
A great car
Purchased 2007 civic 6 weeks and 2500 miles ago. A fun car to drive. Got rid of a 2001 suburu outback. I was convinced to buy the civic when we took my daughter's 2006 civic on an eight hour trip to oregon with a total of four adults. We had plenty of room for our baggage including snow boards on a roof rack on top. My fuel economy is running about 32 mpg with 50/50 city/hwy. The only problem to date is the transmission has been downshifting at some odd times not sure why, I need to take into the dealer. I researched toyota, mazada and scion - when you upgrade all the other cars to meet the standard features the honda won.
New used Civic
I am new to Honda's, but bought this '07 off-lease due to gas mileage and reported reliability. Like the looks. Like the handling. Some interior materials seem cheap. I am concerned about the durability of the paint. I can see lots of chips apparently from ice removal. Also chips due to stone damage. Too early to report on actual gas mileage. Really, this '07 seemed like a new car-quite clean. Never saw a plastic dip stick before. Better be careful parking it as one cannot see the nose from the driver's seat. Happy with purchase so far. Hope to give an update after we have had this car for a while.
The Real Review
Seats provide no lumbar support, very uncomfortable on drives over 30 minutes. A $200 cushion fixed this for me. Am radio can barely pull in stations, my 95 nissan truck had no problems with this. Road noise seems to be greater than most cars, but you seem to get conditioned to this. The pick up is good and the ride is smooth. Biggest complaint is car handles like crap at highway speeds. Body seems to roll, sway. If you follow another Civic it will look as if they are on ice when they change lanes. This is not due to the tires or their inflated psi. Have read on other forums that others are having the same problem and the heavier sway bars from the Si coup,Si sedan, will help greatly.
Excellent sedan needing very few tweeks
Overall this is an excellent car. On an 800 mile trip visiting my daughters I got 38.9mpg at 65-70. To me that's excellent mileage with only 1275 total miles so far. It's noticeably smoother and quieter than the Lancer Ralliart I sold. For what it's intended to be it handles and performs well. It's a good value in it's class. After looking at Sentras and Corollas the Civic just beat them in design, both inside and out.
