2006 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4700 Shifts are a little delayed on the AT. A little boring on the highway. Great off the line for a 4 cyl. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1118 For an economy car, the Si is fast. 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds is plenty to get you in to trouble before you realize it. When you hit 5800RPM (VTEC), it feels like 1000lbs were just sheared off of the car. When spooled up, the engine makes you... |

2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member4053 When VTEC kicks in at 5800 RPM - the car becomes a whole different animal |
|
2003 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1668 The acceleration is much more sluggish and the automatic transmission takes more time to react than the CVT in Prius. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3917 Smooth, almost buttery shifting with the manual transmission. Typical of honda gearboxes. Strong first and second gears. |
|
2004 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3780 Wimpy. No all-electric drive. |
|
2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons roger.aiken Electronic assist works when needed and is seamless and unnoticible. |
|
2009 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in New York, United States Great response for motor size & car weight. |

|
2003 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in Ontario, Canada It has adequate performance considering the small 1.7L engine. It has enough power to overtake on the highway, the 0-100km time is a little over 9sec. |
|
2006 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3462 Amazingly precise 6-speed manual transmission and and engine that loves to rev. |
|
2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2250 VTEC - the car just asks to be revved, gives you a race car buzz over 5k rpm. Once broken in, with a gentle, partial, throttle it can be driven from 1500 rpm in any gear (that was 2k+ rpm when new). Pedals are nicely set for heel and toe. |
|
2006 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2919 Very peppy for an eco-car. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member423 the vtec engine is an absolute kick. very quick acceleration, good economy, two cams switch for economy and performance. it is one of the most spirited cars I have driven |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member3017 The SI is a rocket...the I-Vtec engine is awesome...where else can you turn 8200 rpm without blowing up the motor? |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2940 Great fuel economy, but this car is slow! A manual transmission option would be a huge improvement over the CVT. Maintaining highway speed going up hills means pushing the revs up to 4-5k and draining the IMA battery. |
|
2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member216 This is my wifes daily driver so I make the following remarks soley on my behalf. No power almost to the point it feels dangerous, very noisy, etc. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in Colorado, United States For a vehicle with a small engine, the tranmission keeps up and is not constantly searching for the right gear. |
|
2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in Michigan, United States clutch exploded after 9k miles and dealership and honda usa gave a huge fight as to why it shouldnt be warranty then after much fighting decided to cover it. |
|
2007 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member1080 Acceleration is smooth and the powertrain has no peculiar noises. |
|
2003 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member2290 |
|
2004 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member191 At the time I bought the car new, with the 2.3 liter engine and all the features I wanted, for $17000, including all taxes and fees. I consider that a deal. |
