2006 Honda Civic DX review from North America
"Fun Spirited Fuel Economy Car On Good Road Conditions"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car does not perform well in adverse weather conditions. I live in New Hampshire and the winter weather is no place for a Civic. It will not go up or down hills with the slightest snow or ice. The car is very light in weight which is great for the amazing gas mileage however a strong wind will lift this vehicle off the ground. It is very scary to drive the Civic if it is raining hard, snowing, or icing.
General comments?
The car is a delight in nice weather conditions. I get superior gas mileage. I can drive 460 miles on a tank of gas. The car becomes very difficult to handle in tough climate conditions.
There is more cargo room than one would expect inside a Civic. When the rear seat is down extending the trunk into the cabin; there is ample room to carry luggage, tools, groceries, etc...
