2006 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"It is what it is, a Honda, and I think it will serve me well"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
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.
