I leased this car thinking I betray Mitsubishi because I own it in the past and very happy with it, until HONDA, forget it, the steering is so responsive just to begin with it, the comfort and so quiet, the brakes and transmission are very smoothly. I am so happy with this car, I have to say bye - bye Mitsubishi. No regrets´, but I find something better in the market. The dealer experience was so nice, I have to say this car is sold by it self, no chance you will be disappoint it. I almost forget with the gas. To me is economic vs. Mitsubishi obviously more miles for gallon

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

I loved the Mugen from the first time I saw it on the showroom floor -- I knew I had to have it. Sure, it's way more than the base Si, but a test drive of the two will let anyone know that the money was well spent on the suspension and wheels/tires. The looks I could care less about, but the handling is absolutely superb! Ride is harsh, as you would expect from a sports car, but the gas mileage is amazingly good (about 26 mpg in 100% city for me, even with "spirited driving"). The only cons for me are the lack of nav and the fact that it's a car that must be parked "out of the way" so as to avoid vandalism/theft.

2008 Honda Civic Overall 40+ MPG

This is my first Civic or Honda for that matter. This replaces a very dated 93 Ford Probe GT. I bought this car for its reliability, styling (interior/exterior) and HWY MPG. I've had the car for 10 mos now with 8500 miles total and commute about 30 miles to work each way. I do about 95% HWY miles, and I am getting 41-43 MPG!

First sedan in 10 years and we really like it. Looks great, sporty and well designed. Mostly city driving and getting on average 28 MPG. For those who say it's short on room, I have no idea what car they're in but we have a family of 3 and were used to SUVs and this really works well. More than enough leg and head room plus the trunk holds all the baseball stuff plus chairs with room for more. Never have purchased an extended warranty but I did on this one and saved 1/2 over the dealer cost by googling online and found a dealership in Rhode Island that sells them dirt cheap and they are the exact same ones the local Honda dealer sells.

2008 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)

Having owned a 2006 Honda Civic LX and traded that to an Accord with gas prices going nowhere but up I decided to go back to the Civic but with the upgraded EX version. Im glad I did. The little differences... wiper variable speed, sunroof trunk release on the key fob and 350 watt sound system and some other minor differences have me enjoying this car more enjoyable than the 1st time. If any problems happen develop.. I'll be sure to write back but almost a month into my ownership, I'm happy.
