2008 Honda Civic DX-A from North America - Comments

Not a thing.

Reliable but absolutely not comfortable.

My young sons love it as it is definitely made for them, if you take the look and the design of the body and digitalized dashboard.

This tiny car is only good for fuel economy and a good means of transportation, but if I want to go on vacation, I will definitely not in any way take this car. It's too hard on my old body and ears.

I wanted to do like many have told me. But after months of owning this car, I think I will sell it to one of my sons, who will enjoy this little tiny uncomfortable car, and I'll buy a big American car like I use to have, even knowing they are less reliable but enjoyable. I am a real car lover, not an user.

These cars are designed primarily with economy, efficiency and dependability in mind, comfort is not necessarily top priority.

Comfort is definitely in the eye of the beholder. I find these cars comfortable. They make you know about every bump they cross, but they are still more comfortable to ride in than an earlier Civic or it's competitors. No small car has the seagoing ride of a big American car, but they're not meant to. I found these cars to be comfortable.

I have a 2006 Civic and have driven it to FL, two times and find it to be the best auto I have ever had! And I am 78 years young and have had just about every auto out there, starting with a 1928 Ford for $50 bucks. Buy the way I get 35mpg city and over 40mpg hwy, Cost for gas this year from Cleveland to Orlando FL $50.55.

I think civics are very reliable and trustworthy, my boyfriend had his 08 Civic for a year and then flipped it over a bluff and totaled it, but thanks to the side curtain air bags, he got out of the car without any injuries.

Civics may be reliable but they are not for me. I am 6'3'' and my mom's Civic feels I'm driving a go-cart! I'll stick with my Dodge Magnum, which by the way has been 100% problem free.

I guess American's are just to used to floaty suspensions and poor handling.

I like my Civic. Used it for a trip up to Winter Harbor, Maine (about 450 miles North of my hometown) on the trip up, I was carrying 3 people and all of their stuff, plus two bicycles on a bike rack, I thought it was really comfortable. Put the cruise control on and sailed up there in about 5 hours (stopped a few times to go to the bathroom) and I got 38 MPG as well. On the way back down, I had 4 people in it (picked up my son and brought him home with me as well) and we had even MORE stuff to bring. We still had the bikes on the back. We did end up riding with some stuff in the backseat, but it was still fairly comfortable. I got 36 MPG on the trip back down.

I'm 67 years old by the way, so I too was used to the floaty suspensions of Cadillac's and what not, but I love my Civic. It doesn't ride as well as those vehicles, however, you have to take into account the fact that those are LUXURY vehicles, the Civic is an econo-car.

As for the digital speedometer, that's probably my favorite part! I love having the digital read out, makes it much easier to see how fast I'm going.

I haven't had any problems with my Civic in the 27,000 miles that I have owned it, and it's probably one of the best vehicles I've ever owned.
