2009 Honda Civic Sedan EX-L 5-Spd AT w/ Navigation System

Pros

Extreme value

Cons

road noise

Purchased As New

This is our 2nd Honda Civic, We had a 2007 Honda Civic Coupe that was totaled in a roll over which I was the driver, I walked away from the accident that in many cars may have killed me, We are Honda owners for LIFE.

Bottom line best value with more options for the price that few if any other auto makers can ever hope to match. You can not go wrong with Honda .....read morehide

Pros

comfort, value, looks, spacious interior, fuel economy, reliability

Cons

seats uncomfortable

Purchased As New

Having owned 2 BMWs, and an Audi A4, I just wanted a good, reliable car with good mileage (a turbo GTI sold last year was getting 16MPG on premium at nearly $5/gallon -- had to trade that in). Civic with leather was a surprising choice -- I thought of Civics as cheapo economy cars -- but after a year I'm astonished at the value in a car that came in at about $23k to own -- super high quality interior, elegant and well-made; no rattles; interior as roomy as a friend's midsize Lexus; great sporty comfortable ride with surprising handling and fun factor (I had a '97 Accord so I can tell you Honda can design in dull when they want to -- with this, they designed in fun); the exterior design is really elegant, i love looking at the car; quality and workmanship superb -- doors close with a solid sound, frame is tight -- GTI (though i loved it) frame groaned when going up a sharp incline in parking garage -- no such body groans with Civic -- front seat position huge and welcoming, great visibility out all windows, quiet interior, outlandish mileage. My dad has a Porsche and marveled at quality of the Civic interior -- all in all, I cant understand how so much value is provided at such a low price. Top it off, the car is manufactured in the US, so jobs stay here and it goes to show how superb American workmanship can be when the product is good. All in all, an amazing deal....read morehide

Pros

Fuel economy, leather interior, GPS system, HandsFree Link

Cons

Feel bumps in the road, front exterior is cheaply made.

Purchased As New

This is my first vehicle. In light of the recent gas prices, I wanted something that had a great fuel to miles ratio. This car HAS THAT!

I love the GPS system! It's easy to use and much better than the ones you can buy and set in your car. I highly reccommend it for a new driver and those who are lost easily.

The hands free link on the car works GREAT! I'm able to store phone numbers in the car. It's an AWESOME bonus for those who like to talk and drive on the road.

I love that the speed at which you are driving is right in eyes view of the road. It's helpful, especially when traveling long distance and you need to watch out for the cops....read morehide

Pros

good fuel economy, somewhat unique look

Cons

engine horsepower could be better

Purchased As New

The Civic handles very nicely (it especially takes corners very easily and smoothly), but it does feel the bumps in the road (as do most cars in this price/size range... did the previous reviewer not test drive the car before buying it?!?). The dashboard design is either a love or hate kind of thing, and I happen to love it. I only wish the engine was more robust (yes, you can get an Si model, but it is clearly only designed to appeal to 20-something men)....read morehide

Pros

good handling

Cons

road noise, car feels like it is made out of cardboard or paper mache

just bought the car disappointed with the feel, feels like you are riding in a tin can, car doesn't feel secure compared with other vehicles on the road. Handling is good, so is GPS. I made a mistake buying this car
