First Honda I have owned but my 2 sons have both driven hondas. They were right about the seats, they are some of the most comfortable I have ever had in a vehicle. Almost 3000 miles so far and have averaged 30+mpg every tank. It's real hard to keep the revs under 6000. When you reach that point its almost like a turbo kicking in. Sticks to the road and takes the curves like a race car. Love to push this thing around the twists. Firm ride but not choppy, great sound system, it really rocks. I had the aero kit installed and it looks great super sporty in ralleye red. Nothing but compliments on the looks. Overall a great combination of performance and economy.

I thought this was my dream car. Traded in a 2001 Nissan Altima. (Miss it) I bought this car on Monday and it's been in the shop since Wednesday. Car broke down on my way to work, once I got it started again, engine light came on, took it to dealership and they couldn't duplicate problem. Broke down again the next day, on my way to work, car still in shop. They state it won't be fixed until Monday or Tuesday, have to install a a whole new assembly? Refuse to give me money back, no offer of another car to made good on bad Civic. First new car in 20 years and thought Honda was the best. The exterior is awesome, love the dash. Can't comment on mpg, haven't drove it or had it long enough to know

Previously owned a 2001 Civic EX. I liked the car, but it unfortunately got totaled. Walked away without a scratch. Accordingly, I purchased another Civic as a replacement. I liked my 2001 Civic, but I LOVE this one! It is MUCH more refined, drives much better, is quieter, has more room, etc. MUCH better car!
fuel efficient fun

I purchased SI about one month ago and I still get excited when I get to drive it. Simply a blast to drive. I came from a Nissan altima 3.5SL which was sneaky fast in a straight line but handled horribly. This car handles awesomely with only slightly less performance. This is without the summer tires. I live near St. Louis and we usually see at least some snow so opted for the all seasons. Best of all I can drive the heck out of it and get 28 mpg (yes I use the vtec). That is the lowest I have gotten since owned usually getting 29 mpg. Granted it is premium fuel, but I usually got 25 mpg with less aggressive driving in the altima. Excellent fit and finish.
Great Buy / Value / Long Term investment

I love this car. My last car was a 1999 BMW 323i & I had a maintenance problem with the car about 2x a year (at least). So when I started looking I wanted something that was affordable, yet reliable & looked good as well. I thought there was no way I would be able to find a car like that. I looked at the Toyota Camry, but it didn't have the acceleration or the exterior look I wanted. Then I found a manual 2008 Civic & took it for a test drive. I fell in love. It had great acceleration, I loved the interior / dash, & the outside looked good as well. I was sold. I bought a fully loaded 2008 Civic & still happy
