2008 Honda Civic Coupe Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I love how light the car felt. When you get behind the wheel and turn into the corners while hitting the gas the car does respond. I also like how much room there was being that this is a relatively small car.

Like: Everything! Appearance= grand. looks more expensive than it is., cost= good for the gas it uses., fun=stylish, cute & love the appearance. Quality= great, leather seats, banging sound system, paint job is nice. Dislike: Slow, wish it had V-tech engine!

great handler. power is modest for now, will be adding cold air intake soon. creature comfort level is very much up to par. reasonably priced, definitely turns heads. wouldn`t trade for nothing except for something in the nissan gt-r family.

I bought this car for 20k with 2k miles. Excellent deal for a 08. performance wise the car is great even though it doesnt have a massive engine. the drive is great and is so enjoyable. sunroof open, windows down. and the speaker system is great.

I love the fact it looks great, the milage is perfect 28mpg in the city and 35mpg on the highway. It is white matching the truck we have. Nice materials inside. MP3 jack, a lot more. Just great. We bought it because of the mileage and the looks. Driving performance is great, you feel like sitting in a nice chair. It is sporty. It could have some extra stuff inside, like the Temperature in the rearview mirror (truck has). But you get all the extra stuff in the Si model.

The 2008 Civic Coupe gets great gas mileage. I get 32 with AC on even when I get into V-TEC. The R18 is a strong motor and can hold its own with any otn her 4 cylinder I have driven. IMO, its one of the best and beats the hell out of an Ecotec. For those that don't know, the ecotec is a GM product and used in the cobalt, g5, g6, astra, aura, etc. The Civic is easy to drive and feels bigger than it really is. The digital speedometer is a wonderful thing to have, and as it is on the top tier of the two tier instrument panel, you don't have to look down to see your speed like in a traditional setup. The stereo in the EX is great. It has the subwoofer and it really sounds great. IMO, the backseat has the same amount of room as the sedan does and I can actually ride with two people in the back comfortably, unlike in my 240 where it is 3 people max. The only downfall is the road noise when I am on the concrete intersate. But it is mostly the roads fault for the noise. On the new pavement on 165, it rides great. The car also has tilt steering and telescopic steering so it is very easy to find a comfortable position to drive. Also, there is a lever that controls the height of the seat, so if you are really short you can pump it up and sit higher. Overall, the civic is a great car that you can seat 4 people comfortably and get great fuel mileage in for a good price.

Well i change cars every 3 months because of my job... being a car salesman gives you the oppertunity to drive pretty much whatever you want... but ive always been a big fan of the civic even though i could drive something more expensive i always go back to the civic... its affordable,sporty,spacious and its got alot of kick to it! Money wise its the best value out there!!! Performance- 140hp 1.8lt Vtech engine, front disc brakes and rear drums for the LX version (all disc brakes for all versions higher) sport tuned suspension and handling. Build Quality- just check out Honda's history and in this case history repeats itself... its a very solid and reliable like all Honda's are... Appearance- very sporty and looks like a car that is more expensive then it really is. Cost of Ownership- rated at 52mpg if you keep the car under 110km/h and you can buy a 2008 Honda civic dx base starting at $17,190 + freight and PDI and applicable taxes... Fun Factor- Buckle up and enjoy the ride!!! i sure do!!!

I purchased this car 2 weeks ago as a brand new car, I liked the design, Mileage and Interior design (Panel). This car definetly requires redesign in the front panel(interior) even though it looks gorgeous. It consumes too space. A careful engineering would have saved a lots of space.

Nice acceleration, great sound system with 7 speakers anda a base. Great performance through the 6 manual speed gear boxes. Would like it to top more than 235 kph. Its really fun and nice to drive this car, its amazing

A stylish looking car with extremely cheap maintenance and expenses. In the long run this car will save you lots of money. Unfortunately, like with everything in life you have to give some to get some. Lacking a little power...Eh.. a lot of power.

Wonderful car with a suitable power to weight ratio, the V-tech provides plenty of power. The Premium Sound System has a rich full bodied sound with an auto volume adjust that varies according to speed. Has a solid feel that adds to the comfort level, and no noticeable blind spots.

It is the most reliable brand in the world. Its a great small car that has never failed me. And as someone would know, it has made great memories. It is a great car to drive and handles amazingly. Doesn't cost much either.

love it! Can't really deny that this car is awesome and sporty... Quick enough to get me some speeding tickets, and just overall fun to drive... Handles like a dream, and just does the trick, and the chicks dig the car...

It's a nice ride but a bit underpowered. I like the manual transmission...fun to drive. Decent on gas.

It needs more low end torque to get off the line and so it doesnt bog down in corners but it sounds great especially when v-tec is screaming. Brakes and handling are way better than expected from a front wheel drive car.

Love gas mileage, power and handling + good looks. A little small for more than 2 people. Although it is nice when you have a little one in the back seat and there is no back window or back door for them to jack with :)

i love my car in every way! its acceleration is awesome, quality is as always a honda's quality. gas is the bigest advantage. and all my friends love cruising in my car.

got great pick up with 140 horses stock,has all four disk breaks.interior very spacy.good sound ex comes stock with 8 inch subwoofer.great sleek design.this by far is the bet car i have ver owned i love it and its gonna last me for a long time.

Performance: Quite a peppy car! Quality: Supperior Appearance: Love the 2 door coupe, lots of room. Cost: Only need to fill my tank up every 3 weeks! Fun: Yes, I have a blast driving it around town and to work:)

This car gets great gas mileage, and has a decent fun factor as any stick would have. Overall appearance is sporty and looks good. Quality is questionable, sun visor failed and had to be removed. Harmonics are poor, and sounds like a tin can when you shut the doors or go through the car wash!!

handling in this car is amazing, acceleration is quick ( very surprising) i have a mustang gt and it pick's up almost as fast. comfortable as hell with these bucket seat's very stylish and all my friends love it. the best part obout it is how when the i-vtec kicks in it just goes. Awsome car

The car handles great, accelarates a little slower than those 300 hundred some hp power cars but it is a lot quicker. Stock Exhaust system sounds really good. Interior is probably the best features of the car. Car looks so nice from outside like a race car. Plus the stock sound system in it is so nice and if you add some loud subs in it , it just rock not much to talk about.

what about the unique tuning under the hood ? an K&H filter with bi turbo, racing rods and new stage 2 clutch with shortshifter. racing pistons and chip tuning on the engine. brembo front cross-drilled racing pads at 282 mm and at 260 mm at the back

I like the fact that my car has great gas mileage and gets me where i need to go. The only problem is that after one year a sensor in the engine bay failed causing my car to over rev and get stuck at 5000 RPM when the car shifts at 3500. Luckily it was covered by the warranty... and its really cheap and easy to maintain

I like it . It handles well. We'll see how far it goes...

Its a reliable car thats gets respect as well as great in the winter.

The car is sporty and has a bit of pep to it considering the engine isn't exactly a monster. 20 bucks at 97c a liter will last you around 6 or 7 days (half tank). Car is solid and handles nicely. If you lease it like we did, prepare to be paying 300+ a year on routine maintenance. Code A1 is a oil change and tire rotation. Code B1 costs around $200 and involves oil change, fluid check, brake check and tire rotation. We weren't told this when we bought it.

I haven't had this car too long but It gives an impeccable drive, precision handling, and for a small inline 4, some good acceleration. The 5 speed auto shifts smoothly and is pretty good at switching to a gear to match the level of acceleration you want. Interior is sharp and build quality is outstanding. Typical Honda safety features like airbags all around and ABS and EBD. 350 Watt stereo sounds outstanding

nyc handling,easy drifting, never lets u down, awsm pik up, reaches 170 approx 70 secs in auto , smoooth as silk neva had probs with it , fun fun fun to drive and burn rubber :D have beaten just 2.......for now lol

If I had to have an economical car I wanted a cute one. It gets great gas mileage. It will do for now while I am comuting to Memphis. It is definitely not a big comfortable luxury car. I would rather be driving a big Chevy suburban or something similar.

well i must say everything about this car is amazing its a very smooth ride and performance oh yes it has that for sure and i must say that its built to last everywhere i go people cant stop looking

I have the Ex-L coupe, stick shift. Great find for a great price. A smooth and responsive vehicle that sips gas. Its boss

its not fast enough for me.

there isn't much to say that is wrong about it. handles very well, awsome to drive on the highyway, acceleration is wicked whwn i v-teck kicks in. the apperance of the car is very awsome when in the sunlight. it is a head turner
