Pros: Interior, Acceleration, Interior quality, Design Cons: Price, No optional engines, Clumsy automatic transmission, hubcaps. The Bottom Line: The 2006 Civic offers a serious improvement over an already great car. The 5-speed equipped Civic is recommended 100%.
The Honda Civic has a long history of offering better quality and reliability than most of its competitors, but when it comes to performance and styling the non-Si Civic has always taken a back seat to its competition. For 2006 Honda has given its ...

Pros: Styling, fuel economy, room and comfort, quick steering Cons: Power, instruments The Bottom Line: Striking sheetmetal, quick steering, roomy interior, and excellent fuel economy. But other compacts are more fun to drive.
Back in 1983, Honda shook up the auto industry by introducing four distinct third-generation Civics. The pint-sized CRX two-seater. The much-imitated long-roof hatch. The spacious sedan. And the supremely functional tall-roof wagon. The four shared much ...

Pros: Fuel efficient, environmentally friendly, handles great, decent power Cons: There could be some hidden repair costs in the future. 50 mpg may be exaggerated. The Bottom Line: Hey, let's do our part and buy a hybrid. I recommend the Civic model.
Yes, it's true, I just bought myself a new car, and for the first time in my life. I decided on a Honda because of a couple of reasons, but I love it for many reasons. First I must say that my older brother kept on me about buying a new car, and ...

Pros: great gas mileage, good pick up, smooth handling, comfortable Cons: no way to have an antenna ball, rolls backwards on hills if you aren't careful The Bottom Line: My parents have owned Hondas. This is my second newly purchased Honda as well. Honda makes great cars and the Civic Hybrid is no exception.
My sister needed a car, I was getting sick of having a 2 door vehicle with a child that was constantly needing put in a car seat in the back. It was time for a new car. I sold my 98 Honda Civic to my sister and found the ...

Pros: Wonderful power and gas mileage Cons: Bar across back window, sun visors block vision, turning radius The Bottom Line: We enjoyed the power this Honda Civic offered us. We liked the 35 mpg gas mileage as well!
We were going to Germany and the Czech Republic. We were going to be renting a car, but we had no idea which kind. Hopefully something good on gas and that had enough power to get around on the Autobahn. Our prayers were answered when we got the 2006 ...

Pros: Improved styling, renowned reliability, great on gas Cons: minor visibility issues, back-end of coupe is U-G-L-Y The Bottom Line: A solid four stars out of five.
This evening I had the energy and the enthusiasm to visit a nearby Honda dealer for a test drive of the new '06 Civic. I asked for a four-door manual as my test car, but all they had in the Civic stick shift department was a two-door, so that's what ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Updated Styling, Futuristic Dashboard, Comfortable for 6 footers, MPG, WOW Factor, Near Perfect, Low Insurance Cons: Garbage tires as usual, Honda needs to rethink color combos. The Bottom Line: This car is worth it for pure looks alone...especially the interior. Excellent in every way. Buy it!
Having purchased many cars in my day, and still continuing to do so...my daughter was in the market for a new car. She claims that the reason why she wanted another car after having a 2003 Honda Civic was that she has her fathers blood in her. Ok, I'll ...

Pros: gas mileage, handling, price, reliability, features Cons: visibility, size (I'm tall) The Bottom Line: If you need a reliable vehicle that really does get well over 30 miles per gallon, the Civic is a quality choice.
I was recently in need of a new vehicle due to some massive coolant system issues I had with my old Chrysler. Thus, armed with a sizable amount of internet research and my trusty Consumer Reports Buying Guide in hand I headed down to my local Honda ...

Pros: Amazing Environmental Rating, Great Gas Mileage, Comfortable, Nice Standards Cons: No Traction Control, VERY Light, Effect of Environmental Factors, No Black The Bottom Line: An overall decent driving experience, the Civic Hybrid is fun to drive, environmentally friendly and cheap to operate, if not inexpensive to pay off.
Nothing inspires creativity like necessity and in a similar way, nothing inspires buying a new car like totaling the one you had before. My first car was a 2003 Saturn SL-1 and I was quite happy with it. It was affordable, generally fuel efficient and ...

Pros: safety features; gas mileage; handles well; reliable Cons: only 4 cylinders; blind spots; a bit over-priced; poor iPod interface The Bottom Line: A great car for singles or couples. It doesn't have a lot of pep, but its high MPG and low maintenance make it worthwhile.
Up until the last few years the Civic had a certain notoriety associated with it as being something that only young people drove, often receiving the Fast and the Furious treatment. Hondas changed that image for the 21st century making the ...

Pros: Easy to drive, placement of all vehicle controls, dash lights, storage, cool master key. Cons: MPG, no lighted mirrors, lack of lumbar support, not aging all that gracefully. The Bottom Line: Easy and fun car to drive for those who can afford it. Lots of details make this an above average buy.
Update: With 15K miles, I hate to say my dream car is starting to show some problems. First the paint on the plastic door handle chipped off with no force. It looked like something crusty got on there and just ripped it off. Not real happy with that. ...

Pros: Excellent value for money. Easy, secure handling. Good ergonomics, spacious and comfortable. Cons: EX model required for 60/40 split rear seat. DX-G model in short supply. The Bottom Line: Excellent value for money, unbeatable combination of standard features and quality.
My wife and I set out this fall to look for a new car to replace my 2001 Hyundai Elantra which was a good car, just lacking an automatic transmission and air conditioning. At first blush, a Honda Civic is not what we would ordinarily have considered ...

Pros: Comfortable seating, dashboard console, handling, decent acceleration, great gas mileage, smooth ride, mp3, practical, fun Cons: Full acceleration response occasionally bit slow, rear window blind spot, sometimes selects gears too much The Bottom Line: I don't think the coupe would make a great family car, but it's great for someone who is looking for practicality but also some handling and fun
I bought a 2006 LX coupe (well, since I am only 18 I paid only about half) after driving my father's truck around a lot. Obviously, the difference is astronomical, and my new car suits my needs a lot better. However, I had test driven the '05 model and ...

Pros: comfortable, efficient, stylish, advanced. Cons: Not the mileage advertised. The Bottom Line: You can do far worse and pay a lot more than the 2006 Honda Civic.
This is my ownership-earned experience with the Honda Civic EX. When my VW Scirocco finally cost as much to maintain as to replace, I started looking around at other cars. I am (or was) a VW gearhead, but I was quite unhappy with the quality of the ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Unique and modern styling; Comfortable and upscale interior; Good fuel economy Cons: Unique and modern styling; Overraught gauges; Odd steering wheel The Bottom Line: Has buying a Civic ever been a bad idea? The latest model (save for some "imaginative" styling ideas) makes a better case for itself than ever.
Its a dirty little secret around the car guy water cooler that the seventh generation (2001-05) Honda Civic was but a shadow of its predecessors. Honda Motor Co., in a desire to appeal to the older crowd and gum-chewing high school cheerleaders, ...
