2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by sixto7

Powertrain performance

Automatic transmission sometimes struggles to find a proper gear and can get shift happy when at higher cruising speeds. Engine is punchy enough, but I would opt for the Si for better performance.

Handling

Feels jittery at times, road bumps seem to really unsettle the chassis.

Safety & braking

Brakes are adequate, but seem a bit underpowered.

Ride smoothness

Ride comfort is good, but it can feel jittery at high speeds, making it feel like it is on "tip toes"
