2009 Honda Civic Coupe EX 5-Spd MT

Pros

Very good fuel economy; fun to drive; appearance

Cons

engine power; driver seat comfort; noisy cabin

Purchased As New

I have had my Civic EX for a year and a half and it has been a great car. I have averaged 37 mpg overall doing mostly highway driving. My only complaints are the road noise which can drown out the stereo at times and the lack of engine power during acceleration. Still, this is an economy car so sacrificing some power for fuel economy is expected.

I love the dash layout with the speedometer just below the windshield. The trunk is huge for such a small car and the interior has lots of storage bins....read morehide

Pros

Excellent mileage, short throw 5-speed, uses regular gas

Cons

Small motor (trade-off for mileage)

Purchased As New

This 2008 coupe is fun to drive, quick with the manual trans, steady at highway speeds (65+), sporty, great sound system, many options including sunroof, no complaints, just keep changing the oil every 3750 with no problems. Great dollar value for what the owner gets.

Pros

Digital speedometer, Gas milage, USB port, Sound System

Purchased As New

Simply love my Civic. I don't notice the road noise much but I also take full advantage of the USB hook up for my iPod. (The USB interface does NOT support Zunes) The sound system is very good, especially for being factory installed. I do not recommend the Civic (coupe at least) for anybody over about 6'1" or 6'2", I am 6 foot and have an inch or two head clearance. Also, shifting with the standard transmission is very easy and smooth. My driving is about 75/25 highway/town and get a solid 30 mpg with quick starts on hilly terrain....read morehide
