Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No 
Pros: Good genes, Safe for size, Futurista styling that worked, easy if you can bear it.
Cons: Unhybrid behavior, Fake inflated fueld economy numbers law suite, Slow mo, bad hybrid by design.
The Bottom Line: Only Prius allows decent fuel economy in city driving. Jetta TDI is less reliable but way more fun to drive. If you want a hybrid: Toyota makes it.
About Honda is famous for producing dependable vehicles and motorized machinery (a.k.a. appliances, like snowblower). Pardon me, but as of late there’s not much to be added to that statement. Legendary motorsports achievements and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Good room.
Smart transmission, power/economy as needed.
Can deliver EPA numbers.
Just plain reliable.
Cons: Cold weather warm up of battery pack too slow.
Won't autostop if defroster is on.
The Bottom Line: Honda reliability and excellent road handling and as much fuel economy as you're willing to work for. Hybrids will deliver IF you seek. This one is no exception.
I have owned my Civic Hybrid for 4 years and 34,000 miles, in upstate NY. It's good in the winters with mud and snow tires, handles excellently in all weather, and has sufficient power unless loaded with 4 passengers and a full trunk. Full to ... read more

Pros: 46-mpg
comfortably seats 4 adults
Extremely reliable
radio input jack
nimble
Cons: Battery issues in extremly hot climates
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a hybrid, buy this car.
While actually my wife's car, I chose to drive it on my 28 mile commute because I was getting 46 mpg. My Dodge Ram (see my review) was only getting 16 mpg and gas prices in California were flirting with $5/gal. It took a while to ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: The mpg, Styling in side and out, and the horse-power
Cons: Foot onto the gas after you take it off the brake so you don’t roll
The Bottom Line: You should by buy this Exellent vehicle.
This car has an average of 30 to 35mpg. The money you can save in a year is overwhelming, 1500 dollar you are saving. The tank holds about 12.3 gallons. The styling of this car is way better then the fist hybrid made. It is bigger then a buggy has normal ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 20 Recommended: No
Pros: I bought it (fifth Honda) because of the looks (2 door coupe).
Cons: Reliability, gas mileage is 38.5 mpg (Canadian). They don't back up their warranty.
The Bottom Line: Not recommended. Dealer is main reason. Electrical problems. Frequent recalls. Poor gas mileage.
First, there have been four recalls. After one recall I got notified of another. I asked why they didn't fix both at the same time. They said it was not their policy. Secondly, on one occasion the car just wouldn't start. The lights inside flashed and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great interior, good handling, upscale feeling, comfortable seats, marvelous speedometer
Cons: Poor shock absorbers, awful tires, not-so-wonderful city fuel economy
The Bottom Line: Very good car, however experienced major problems with shock absorbers and tires - sold the car due to these reasons.
Bought my 2006 Civic brand-new, EX model 4-door AT. This is definitely one of the best small sedans out there. It drives very well with decent handling and good manners. I have driven many small cars, mostly during rental periods and Civic is by far the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Exterior, Handling, Economical, Fit and finish.
Cons: Transmission jerky at start. Control arm to adjust driver's seat back snags my pants.
The Bottom Line: I would buy this car again, but would go with the Hybrid.
We've always been a Toyota family. We've had Camrys, A Sienna, and I drive a Lexus. We are very impressed with our '06 Honda. It has plenty of power for the driving my wife does, and it handles very well around corners. The instrumentation is ... read more

Pros: The engine is awesome, handles nicely, and great style
Cons: Interior prematurely wearing, leather peeling, To many defects
The Bottom Line: I'm never buying a newer Honda again. My 99 civic with 180k miles is holding up better than my '06 si... sad really
I bought a 2006 Honda Civic Si when they first were released and the car has been great with almost no major defects until now.... granted my passenger seat was replaced because the leather in the back of the seat came out, and I’ve had both sun ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No
Pros: Great engine, drives like a race car,handles corners great, good car for the price
Cons: Should have spent the same time and money putting the interior together as the engine
The Bottom Line: Do not get the 2006 since this was the first year that style of car was put out and they hadn't worked out all the kinks.
Well, i am going to write a new review for those that didn't think mine was helpful. Although i wish someone would have told me about the little things they didn't like about the car instead of just how it drives. This is defiantly one of the more ... read more

Pros: navi,gas milage and lots of nice nooks and crannies.
Cons: Poor design, Cheap paint, and interior, faulty Navi
The Bottom Line: Do not buy because you cannot see the road.
I bought this car as I believe it was the "car of the year" in 2006 in some car magazine and with gas prices out of control I thought it was a smart buy. I did test drive it but did not take it through enough manuvers to see what a difficult car this is ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable seating, dashboard console, handling, decent acceleration, great gas mileage, smooth ride, mp3, practical, fun
Cons: Full acceleration response occasionally bit slow, rear window blind spot, sometimes selects gears too much
The Bottom Line: I don't think the coupe would make a great family car, but it's great for someone who is looking for practicality but also some handling and fun
I bought a 2006 LX coupe (well, since I am only 18 I paid only about half) after driving my father's truck around a lot. Obviously, the difference is astronomical, and my new car suits my needs a lot better. However, I had test driven the '05 model and ... read more

Pros: New Sharp Look, Reliability, Fuel Consumption, The Gauge
Cons: Rougher Ride, Engine is Loud
The Bottom Line: This car is pretty much the best bang for your buck. Plus since it is a Honda it holds its value very well!
This is my first Honda Civic and I must say that I am impressed (2006 White EX Model). The gas mileage is outstanding and handles very well. I drove the car from Fairfax Virginia (Located right outside of Washington D.C.) to the state of Kentucky on one ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Performance, smooth engine, great handling, good audio, great value for the money, it's a Honda!
Cons: Poor stock tires, a few rattles, drive-by-wire system needs some TLC
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend this car any day over many others out there in it's class.
I have owned my 06 Civic EX Coupe M/T for 22 months now. It has been a life-saver on gas, and fun to drive; for the most part, anyway! I have one major complaint- the Drive-By-Wire system used for acceleration. It is not very forgiving, causing almost ... read more

Pros: Wonderful power and gas mileage
Cons: Bar across back window, sun visors block vision, turning radius
The Bottom Line: We enjoyed the power this Honda Civic offered us. We liked the 35 mpg gas mileage as well!
We were going to Germany and the Czech Republic. We were going to be renting a car, but we had no idea which kind. Hopefully something good on gas and that had enough power to get around on the Autobahn. Our prayers were answered when we got the 2006 ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: Fun to drive, price, mileage
Cons: poorly built, terrible customer service
The Bottom Line: It doesn't rattle, it just isn't reliable. 14 repairs in 11 months. It's unfortunate because I love this car. Just don't expect any corporate support if you have a problem(s).
I have had my 2006, 5 speed Civic coupe for 11 months. On day 2 the a/c started draining into passenger compartment and it has been repaired 3 times (and I'm not sure it is working properly now), the parking brake handle has been replaced 3 times and at ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fuel efficient, good crash-test results, decent price
Cons: Bucket seats are uncomfortable, windshield wipers confusing
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car hands-down to all my friends. It's exactly what you need a car to be: reliable, fuel-efficient, and a decent price.
First off, I'm not a car guru. I'm just a typical suburban soon-to-be mom who needed a car to get me from A to Z. When my previous car broke down, I needed a car fast. I wanted a basic, fuel-efficient, sedan that performed well in crash-tests and ... read more

Pros: Interior design, EX stereo, seats, ride is much improved over previous Civics.
