2008 Honda Civic Si 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This is my 3rd Civic. I had a couple years ago and have been with GM for many years. After constant problems with GM and fuel prices, have gone back to Honda. I'm 6'3" 210 lbs, and I had to have the driver's seat customized and moved back 3" to accommodate my legs. Now that I've done that it's totally comfortable. I didn't realize it was just a bit to short in legroom until a long drive, my Hondas years ago had more leg room. Other than that, a real great car. Totally worth the $ for the Si. I think the other models I would be disappointed in lack of power coming from a 3.8 V6 Grand Prix GT but this Si is even faster and performs better than the Grand Prix. Gas mileage awesome!
It keeps you going!

My mom bought this car brand new in May of 2008. I have been driving it for the last four years. Maintenance wise, I have had to replace the ball-and-socket joint near the axel in the front wheels. I've had to do some small things to fix it here and there, but that's to be expected with a ten year old car with 180,000 miles on it. Internally, the freaking sun visors have broken on both sides about 3-4 times each? Those are expensive to replace and they still feel like they're going to snap. The plastic external wrapping on the black around the windows has completely torn off within a few years of use. The metallic paint on the plastic parts inside the car has worn off. The rubber around the windshield has completely deteriorated and fallen off. It disappoints me that the good looks of the car are pretty much gone nowadays. Driving it is fine, it gets a bit scary when you're trying to accelerate and you can't speed up in time to match traffic. Braking can be difficult when it comes to everybody stopping faster than you. I've rear-ended somebody that way. You have to leave plenty of space. Especially when you have more than two bodies in the car. Weighs down the car tremendously. The handling of the car is great. Starting up the car gets laggy at times. You can feel just about every rock and pebble that you hit in the road. Not a smooth ride. Definitely looking forward to the new Honda's in the future

This car is strictly fun to drive. You can drive it "soft" if you want to, or rev it up all the way to 8000 RPMs and fly around the corners. Easy maneuvering, great road grip, and I think relatively quiet for a "sports" car.
Most expensive car to maintain, I've ever owned

I purchased a 2008 Honda LX-SR in Sept 2008, expected to get many years of troublefree motoring,.... it has 30,100 Kms on it now,... I've replaced 6 shocks, one has been replaced 3 times. had the brakes serviced,, had to have the rotors machined at 30,000 Kms,... couldn't believe it,.. even purchased the extended warranty, nothing was covered.... so much for many years of troublefree motoring,... I've spend more money on service on this vehicle, than on any other car I've owned... Won't be buying another Honda product anytime soon
Never agian

I have had the car for 18 months, bought brand new, thought I was buying quality. WRONG. This car has design flaws. Sunvisers bust and fall on your head (replaced 4). A/C doesn't work at stop lights. Engine rattles when you start it in the morning. Car does not start on first try every time(stranded 2x's and now carry jumper cables). Honda cares about my safety so much they will not even look at anything wrong with the car. I am told "unless you can duplicate the problem there isn't one."
