"Bought in 2011, i was lucky to find a 2008 (3 yr used) Silver Civic that had done only 8900 miles (i.e. less than 3K miles per year). It is fuel efficient, compact (fits into small spaces), good looking, maintenance free. The EX model with the sunroof makes it look pricey. The clear large digital display almost at eye level is great. My wife finds it very easy to handle. We will keep this beauty for a long time."

Why Did I Bother?

By SD Girl (CA) on Monday, January 07, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 45,000

Pros: "Bland"

Cons: "Slow as a three-legged hog"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 1

"Buying this car represented a total lapse in judgment on my part. Given that I don't drive all that much on the freeway, I should have bought a Prius instead. 1. I only came close to the estimated highway MPG once, and that was on I-15, with a tail wind. 2. The rear control arm "issue" meant I needed new tires at about 20K miles. Even worse, the dealer tried to make me pay for the tires even though this was a known problem. Would Honda help? No way. 3. The IMA battery failed at 45K miles. Way to go with that software upgrade, Honda; it really helped extend the hybrid battery life, now didn't it?"
