A great comunter car!
I bought this car as a student and I LOVE it! It's great on gas, has a sporty interior and exterior, great sound system, it's comfortable to drive, large trunk and is good in the snow. The only think I would say is it's a coupe so it's is a bit difficult to get in the back seat.

Great, reliable car
Our 2008 Civic was amazing... only got rid of it because we ran out of room when our family grew. Didn't break down once and extremely good on gas. Would highly recommend it. Only downsides; seats weren't all that comfortable on long rides and the cabin was a bit noisy.

Good car
Not the most performant, but the most reliable. I had mine for five years and still had not had a problem with anything. Fuel comsumption is average, so is comfort & performance, but these cars are not made for that. The style is very nice compared to past Civics. I don't really have any negative comments to say about the car and the company...after sale service was great and I am very satisfied with the purchase. Would recommend it to anybody and will consider buying a newest model in a couple years.

Cheap car to run
I bought this car used and with heated leather seats it's great in the cold weather. Gas mileage is also good, but not at higher speeds on the highway which is where I do most of my driving. I would buy another Civic, but not the latest model because I think they're ugly.

Perfect for our needs
We bought the car in May 2012 and it delivers exactly what you expect from a civic. It is comfortable, handles well and quick when you need it. We have received a lot of compliments and it is great value for the money. You should test drive this car when in the market for a quality 4 door, 4 cylinder vehicle.

An example of reliability
I bought the car 2 years ago used with 30K Km on it, and even with the excessive driving that I do on daily basis, as I drive over 200 KM a day, I have not needed to invest any money in repairs for the car except for the regular maintenance, like oil changes , tires and brakes.
On top of its excellent reliability, the 190 hp for such a light car bring joy every time you step on the gas pedal, followed by a nice roar from the engine.
The gas consumption is outstanding for this car. Assuming you drive at 100Km/Hr on the highway, you can get close to 6.9 L/100Km. which is not too bad for a sport car.

I hope this helps in your decision.

Decent car
Its a decent car for everyday short commute just don't expect to get it a lot of power out of it. You can feel the engine struggle a bit going up on ramps to highways or trying to speed up to catch up with the traffic. I have had few issues with CV joints of this car even though I'm not a rash driver. The suspension on this car is a bit hard so the interior comfort is not that great. The fuel economy is decent but not as great as advertised. On the other hand I haven't had any major problems with this car that would require expensive repairs.. transmission and the engine is sound.

The best compact car ever
This car is by far the best handler out of the competition, its performance driven and fuel saving at the sametime, looks like a race car out of the box, and you can't beat the price

Awesome Ride..
Push the gas and feel the power.........
Engine sounds as a real sports car.
Gear shifting is smooth and quick with minimal distance between gears.
When it comes to fuel economy no one can beat that..

Its a Honda, of course its awesome!
Ever drive a Honda? That's all I've been driving for 17 years. Don't think I'll change any time soon. This was my first civic and its been incredible. We're expecting our 3rd child and need something bigger, Otherwise I'd keep it. Hate to see it go.

For a sedan medium-size car is worth it
Just a few quick notes on my car, Honda Civic sedan (4 doors)

Pros:
Drive is really good and pleasant
Reliability and handling is not bad
Fuel consuming is really good
Good exterior style

Cons:
It’s so light in winds
The brakes don’t function well and you have to keep an eye on them very often

Maybe it's just me
Well, it was one of the most popular compact cars in the market, so you couldn't really go wrong back then, especially since there wasn't much other options to begin with.

If you just want a car that will take you from point A from point B, and from time to time allow you to cut in front or prevent a Corolla to cut in front of you, then this car is for you.

The exterior is alright, but not as iconic as the previous generations.

Tiny issues started to pop up after a few years - wipers not touching the windshield service because the spring was loosen, side mirror not being able to alter, etc.

Overall it is still a decent car, nothing fancy, it just worked.

My economy friendly civic
I chose this car because I was attracted by its interior. I love the blue digital dashboard. It also has an engine lineup that offers both fuel efficiency and performance. Let’s not forget the roomy and refined interior, great for everyday use.

The material of the seats are nice to the touch and very comfortable, and there was many colors to choose from. My tester came equipped with leather, which was quite nice but it wasn’t a feature that was included in the package so I took the fabric seat over the leather as most economy car shoppers would. The seats themselves are supportive and comfortable, and the cabin feels spacious for both front and back passengers.

Overall I think the civic is a stylish and economy friendly car.
