2008 Honda Civic

Pros: Gas mileage! We went to Florida and back for $70

Cons: Trunk area is small

The Bottom Line: If you want a small car that'll be reliable for years and will run inexpensively, you can't do better than the Honda Civic.

Review: We've owned our 2008 Honda Civic LX for three months now, and we LOVE-LOVE-LOVE-LOVE-LOVE it. I'm not an engine person, so this is something of a "girls' review". My husband and I have heard of so many people driving Hondas for hundreds of ...

Pros: Driving fun, fuel economy, safety, space, quality, resale value

Cons: Rattles, slightly more expensive than competition, firm ride at times

The Bottom Line: The competition isn't really competition when it comes to the Civic - you can't go wrong with this choice!

Review: The Civic is sometimes regarded as one of the most important cars in history because it has always adhered to a distinct set of values since its introduction in 1973: economical cost of ownership, exceptional build quality, unmatched reliability and ...

Pros: attractive car design, interior features, performance at high speeds, handling, gas mileage

Cons: heavier weight

The Bottom Line: Sportiness meets efficiency. Say hello to my favorite ride!

Review: I'm a little overdue on this review. You see, S tella wasn't exactly on her last legs by any means, but I wanted to go to the dealership and check out their stock for their Labor Day sale. I pulled up and saw an ...

Pros: Handling, design, roomy, fuel economy

Cons: Pricey

The Bottom Line: The Corolla is smooth and quiet. The Civic, then, is more livelier.

Review: Being popular doesn't always mean being cool. Take the Honda Civic, for example. They've been around for quite a while. Those buggers are economical, affordable, and reliable. Then they were cool thanks to the tuner crowd. However, these days, the ...

Pros: fit and finish, fuel economy, luxury features at economy price

Cons: some odd design features, could use a little more power

The Bottom Line: Excellent value for the money. Refined and luxurious for its class. Great gas mileage.

Review: The 2008 Civic is my fifth Honda. I've previously owned a Prelude, Accord, and S2000, and still have a Honda Pilot in the garage. Going nearer the "bottom of the line" than I ever had before, I didn't have high expectations in terms of refinement when I ...

Pros: Gas mileage, peppy, comfortable, "cool", environmentally responsible

Cons: Not the fastest car in the world...

The Bottom Line: This car is reasonably priced and delivers on all promises... Overlooking it because it's "just a Civic" would be a mistake!

Review: I bought my 2008 Civic Hybrid 3 weeks ago, and have put 2,500 miles on it so far (just to give you an idea of how "educated" this review is). I bought this car for relief from gas prices, but honestly never expected to love it so much! It's sporty, very ...

Pros: Gas mileage; looks; controls; handling; roomy interior; satisfaction of driving a hybrid

Cons: None so far, even after almost a year!

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this car. It is so comfortable and easy to drive--a very cool car!

Review: I've only had my Civic Hybrid for a little over a week, but I couldn't wait to write this review. I had researched hybrid cars for a little over a year, and finally settled on the Honda Civic Hybrid over the Toyota Prius. Engine The ...

Pros: Great mileage. Great build quality. Thoughtful and practical design in details.

Cons: None come to mind.

The Bottom Line: Best option for mileage vs. price vs. build quality.

Review: Here's what you expect: great gas mileage, great Honda build quality, industry leading styling. Which is what you get. There are nit-picky things, the most glaring is a bad blind spot where the rear window pillars are - but if you're ...

Pros: Great Honda quality results in a refined Civic with great gas mileage and interior room.

Cons: The ride over some roads not great, the split dash might not be a favorite.

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a small car, you can't beat Honda reliability and engineering. A great engine and a great ride make for a great car.

Review: I was looking for a daily driver and came upon the 2008 Civic LX. I wanted something with good mileage but wasn't too slow. I think the Civic is a good compromise. It is great to get from point A to point B. I picked this car up 2 weeks ago, for ...

Pros: Smoothness, styling, safety, efficiency, value, and quality.

Cons: Steering wheel and e-brake lever

The Bottom Line: The best engineered car in the world. The most advanced car I have ever owned. Perfect.

Review: Ever wake up in the morning and just wanna drive? Ever been in a relationship that got better and better every single day? Welcome to life with a Honda Civic (LX, manual). A little about the tester (me): I drive 150 miles per day as a Field ...
