Used 2008 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Honda rules!
This is my third Honda, and my first Civic. My last two were accords, both bought new. I just sold my '91, with 326k on the odometer, for $1,800! Looked and ran almost as good as new. You take good care of a Honda and it'll return the favor. This Civic is an awesome little car, roomy, zippy, comfortable. The gas mileage is fantastic. I have a heavy foot and it's hot where I live in the summer. I usually set the cruise control at 75, drive 50 miles a day, 5 days a week, with the A/C on, and I've been averaging 34 mpg! The build quality is typical Honda, tight panel gaps, no creaks or rattles. Overall, I have zero complaints. Honda has done it again!
Bringing Sport To Small
I've had mine for almost 3 months now and I still shake my head in disbelief when I look at it. Such aggressive styling on a car this size is rare and in this case very well done. The view of the road is appreciated, but the blind spots are troubling, but I am coming from a Maxima with windows all around and if you actually look and not just rely on mirrors then its fine. I have noticed the occasional rough shift in the transmission and a little hesitation/skipping at idle, but i'm sure its nothing a quick visit to the dealer won't fix. I'm also not a big fan of the fact the rear entry effects the front seat position every time some gets in and out of the back seat.
Downsized from truck
Fun car to drive, with a lot of pep. This is the first car I have driven in 15 years, as I have owned trucks until now. Researched several small cars for efficiency, fuel mileage, reliability, and resale value, and this is by far the best choice I could make for my money.
Civic Confidence
I love my Civic I have 4500 miles on it.No problems. Getting 36 to 38 MPG .
The 2008 Honda Civic Coupe
Good news and Bad news: The Good news is that the Honda Civic Coupe looks hot, reaches 36 mpg on the highway, it was pretty fun to drive, and costs under $15,000. Bad news: The car LOOKS hot, but it really isn't, the headroom makes people annoyed, and it isn't a luxury car (at all). The Civic coupe is best for teenagers who want 0 to 60 times of under 8 seconds, but who don't want to break their budget. It's a nice compact car that isn't so show-offy. It gets good gas mileage. It was pretty fun to drive. If it was given a grade in school, it would be given an 85%. It's a solid car, just nothing special.
