2006 Honda Civic EX 1.8 vtec

Summary:

It is what it is, a Honda, and I think it will serve me well

Faults:

Nothing. so far, I just got it. I will keep you updated.

General Comments:

OK, it is slow real slow, compared to my 2000 VR6 Jetta, but I did not buy this car for speed, I bought it for fuel efficiency, which is outstanding.

The interior is nice, but odd. I feel like I'm going to fly away rather than drive. The interior is spacious.

The turning radius could be better.

Side visibility is poor; I think I'm just not used to it yet however.

The one thing I really hate about this car so far is the clutch. It is real short and weak, again, I just need to get used to it.

Handles great on the highway for a Honda. Handling on the highway is somewhat "European like", I never owned a Honda before, but hope it will live up to the reliability that is expected from Honda.

The MP3 player and aux input are cool. Lots of storage space, speakers are nothing great, but sufficient.

It is what it is, a Honda, and I think it will serve me well. I will keep adding updates for as long as I own this car.

2006 Honda Civic LX

Summary:

So far, so good

Faults:

I love my car. It is perfect for me right now.

I have had the car since June 2006 (7 months) and within the past couple months I have found that the engine is not turning over properly all the time. I brought it back to the dealership and I was told to click the key once and wait 3-5 seconds to allow the pressure to build up and then start the engine. The counter clerk told me I should never have this problem again.

Other than that, the battery and fuel injection were OK. This morning my car actually stalled immediately when I tried to start it. I tried to research the problem, but it doesn't seem like this is a common problem with Honda Civics.

General Comments:

I like the dashboard. I don't care that other people say, it's pretty neat. The headrest is uncomfortable at first, but I have adapted. The trunk is big, and gas mileage is pretty good. I knew going into the purchase that the 30/40 mpg they advertise would be slightly worse in new england with rough road conditions and extreme climates. I do wish it had a little more pick up. My old Sunfire, which I hated had a lot of pep... the Civic doesn't have so much.

Summary:

Nice car

Faults:

The backseat passenger seatbelt on the drivers side did not pull out. The drivers side window got stuck when you try to roll it up.

General Comments:

I was really upset with the things that went wrong. But the dealers fixed them for me. Other than that, I love it.

2006 Honda Civic LX Sedan unsure

Summary:

No wonder why it's the Motor Trend Car of the Year. It's a great car!

Faults:

Nothing at all.

General Comments:

This is my 5th Honda Civic LX Sedan with the automatic transmission. Prior to this one, I had the following years of the Civic: 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, and now this one. Every 4 years, I trade my cars in.

This one is a sterling silver with a grey interior. I must admit that I love my car!! A lot of my friends are trading in their small cars for the newest version of the Honda Civic. These cars are absolutely a blast to drive. No wonder why it was made the Motor Trend's Car of the Year this year!! Lately, I have been seeing a lot of these on the road. They seem to be selling like crazy.

Even though I loved my 4 previous Honda Civic's, this one ices the cake. So, if you are in the market for a perfect car for that college student in your household, or a perfect car for the child in your house that is just learning how to drive, or if you are looking for a great commuter vehicle, look no further. Go to your nearest Honda dealer and check one of these out.

Trust me, you will love it to death like I do, and be a loyal friend to the Honda name like I have been for a long time.
