2006 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"So far, so good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love my car. It is perfect for me right now.
I have had the car since June 2006 (7 months) and within the past couple months I have found that the engine is not turning over properly all the time. I brought it back to the dealership and I was told to click the key once and wait 3-5 seconds to allow the pressure to build up and then start the engine. The counter clerk told me I should never have this problem again.
Other than that, the battery and fuel injection were OK. This morning my car actually stalled immediately when I tried to start it. I tried to research the problem, but it doesn't seem like this is a common problem with Honda Civics.
General comments?
I like the dashboard. I don't care that other people say, it's pretty neat. The headrest is uncomfortable at first, but I have adapted. The trunk is big, and gas mileage is pretty good. I knew going into the purchase that the 30/40 mpg they advertise would be slightly worse in new england with rough road conditions and extreme climates. I do wish it had a little more pick up. My old Sunfire, which I hated had a lot of pep... the Civic doesn't have so much.
