2006 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Great reliable fuel efficient car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing!!!
I have had the car a few months, and the only thing is when I purchased the car, the front speakers in the doors were not working, but not a problem, it was covered under the warranty with no problem since I just purchased the car :)
General comments?
This is my first Honda car. My last car was a Dodge Stratus and that car had every problem in the book. I was constantly in the repair shop every month, so I desperately needed another car. I went ahead and purchased my Civic because of Honda's great reputation as being reliable.
This car drives like a dream, I get compliments on it everywhere I go, and I'm in love with the digital display on the dash.
The car handles great and is very fuel efficient, especially on the highway I get 35 mpg. I purchased the EX version, which comes with the sunroof and 16 inch alloy wheels.
My only complaint is that the visibility is a little poor and the car is underpowered, but other than that I love my little Honda Civic and I plan to keep it for a very long time.
The car handles great and the steering wheel is smaller than other cars, but I have no problem with it. The brakes are perfect; they stop on a dime when I need them to.
It has a good suspension body, and the interior is spacious and can hold 5 people comfortably.
Overall the Honda Civic is the way to go for its reliability, fuel efficiency, good looks, and its resale value, and I would recommend it to anybody and everybody :)
