2006 Honda Civic EX review from North America
"Everything I hoped and needed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am on my second Bra the snap keeps pulling through on the driver's fender-well - NOTHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THE ACTUAL CAR THOUGH.
General comments?
I went from a Grand Prix GT to this car, yes it's smaller, but I am 6' 8'' tall and fit in this car no problem (no one, but a baby can sit behind me however).
I drive 70 miles a day round trip 95% highway and I average 38mpg. On long highway trips (Cleveland to Chicago) the car gets over the sticker claims (40.5MPG).
The interior is very futuristic and looks like nothing else on the road. The stereo has 6 speakers and plays MP3's. There is an XM button but it is $585 to have it factory installed! It's better to just use the AUX input and spend $50 on an XM tuner kit.
