I like this car. It is my 5th Honda. I previously had a prelude. My only issue with the civic is that is doesn't ride as smooth as my prelude. It is a little higher up, so doesn't hug the road as well. All in all I am happy with the car, its very sporty looking.

I've had this car for a few months. It's fun to drive, is cute & has a nice looking interior. I got it mainly as a commute car and it seems to get around 35 mpg, since I do mostly freeway driving. The only thing that I would change would be the seats and the headrests (although I was told the headrests were designed for safety and all cars have them now). My commute takes me a solid hour to get to and from work and the seat can get uncomfortable at times. I find myself trying to adjust into a comfortable position while driving. I didn't have a "seat problem" with my other cars. With the headrest, it feels like it is nudging your head constantly. Other than that, I would recommend this car.

So far I love my Honda! I am a big guy and have always drove Taurus's. I was a Ford man. But no more! The Civic has great room and gets great mileage. Very fun to drive. I look forward going to work now!!!

Great car for the money. Not sure why some people aren't getting good fuel economy. My driving is about 2/3 highway and 1/3 city, and my worst tank in 6 months of ownership has been 33.5 mpg. I average 34.5 - 35.0 mpg, with spirited driving. My best tank was 37 mpg while I tried to baby it.

Get this automobile soon as possible. I recently received mine and I'm absolutely thrilled! I never write reviews for anything but this car is very impressive. Fuel economy is an important part of the story, but just getting more for your money in every way is the overall benefit. My Taffeta white coupe just keeps me staring at it when parked!! Do your due diligence with similar models, you will come back to this Honda for sure as I did.
