| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic?
Just about everything. I drive my car for a living and have over 210,000 - Yes, 210,000 miles - on my 2006 Honda Civic. I have only had one issue with it and the manufacturer took care of that problem at no charge to me. As long the car is maintained properly, I cannot see why it would not go another 200,000 miles! The interior is fairly roomy for a compact car and I love the placement of the digital mph gage. It has all kinds of cubby holes so I can keep things organized. It gets about 34 mpgs when not using the air conditioner and 31 when using it. I drive mostly suburban miles, not quite city, but not highway. When I take highway trips, I get about 37-40 mpgs. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
I have a couple of larger friends that have a problem getting in and out of my car. They are over 6'3 and about 240 pounds. They like the idea of my car but they just don't fit in it! 2006 Honda Civic Review:
I love my Civic. I have had no real problems with it because I keep it maintained. I would recommend this car to anyone under 6'3" and 240 pounds. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic?
Great gas mileage.
Two-tier dash with digital displays.
Futuristic styling. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
Re-locate emergency brake handle.
Better interior plastics.
Better sound systems.
Tighten up persistent squeaks and rattles that plague this car.
Correct rear suspension problems. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
Overall a great gas saver if you have a daily long distance commute. Nice exterior styling. However, my car did not get the gas mileage as advertised. I was getting 25 city/ 34 hwy on my Civic LX coupe. This car eats tires because of rear-suspension problems. As previously mentioned, numerous squeaks and rattles throughout. Difficulty with some cold-morning starts. Suspension squeaks. Low front end of car scrapes parking barriers and steeper inclined streets. Should make vent shades standard above each window due to the fact rain collected in roof-line will pour into car when you crack the window open. Interior plastics scratch and mark seemingly just by looking at them. White type number and letter print wore off of radio buttons and headlight/windshield wiper stalks. Paint quality poor; numerous chips and nicks in areas not attributable to normal road debris. Paint also easily etched by rain drying on car. Very poor traction in the snow even with upgraded tires. The gas mileage claim is the main selling point of this car, but you get what you pay for. Many other areas of the car are lacking. However, I had recently traded mine and received decent compensation for resale value. I went back to an American car. I needed something a bit larger than a go cart with regular-sized tires... |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic?
Nice exterior trim.
16 inch rims and sunroof/moonroof(EX model).
HUD type digital dashboard.
Gas mileage is really good on cruise control / open road = 42+mpg.
Expansive trunk area.
Powerful low gear ratio for a 4 cyl. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
Rattle in right front rear well area over bumps.
Front window driver blind spots - nearly t-boned at intersection.
Ebrake handle hits knee.
No leather seat option in this year model (later years offered). 2006 Honda Civic Review:
An enjoyable, economical ride with a responsive suspension and roomy interior and is a good commuter car that has turned into a family trip car due to the oil cartel folks and their silly prices for my SUV gas tank... I don't care for the rear exterior appearance - does not speak to the side view trim that has a nice look. Not quite like the Mercedes SLR McLaren that is parked on the other side of the garage...as in parking garage. |

1) outside look
2) gas mileage is good Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
1) There are tons and tons of rattling noises. The airbag on the passengers dashboard rattles none stop. It is something inside that you can't get to. The trunk has banging noises that are louder than the radio. The passenger seat had a rattle so bad, it would shake. The dealer took out the seat from another car and put it in mine. There are squeaking plastic parts on the passenger side door. The gas tank makes such a loud noise when you stop or start. You can hear gas sloshing around like crazy. These are the main concerns I have. It would also be nice to have a remote trunk feature. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
It is sad to say, but our 1999 Honda Accord has no rattles etc... I guess you can say... They don't make them like they use to. |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic?
Pretty much everything. The great gas mileage, space-age interior design, the dash displays and digital speedometer and large windshield. The windshield wipers are unique with the outward wiping pass design, does a better job than the standard type wipers. The displays blue color is quite nice especially in the dark. The complete redesign of the exterior is a huge improvement from the boxy look of previous models. Improved also is the power and the acceleration from the previous model. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
As with other reviewers, the stereo could be better. Even with six speakers, I expected more. I also agree that while the E-brake is sleek in design and it's look, the location is awkward in that it does jab you in the knee. Especially while in cruise control while the leg is in a rested position. The roof support struts on the sides of the windshield do make a blind spot, but the little windows in the corner help to see better in that area. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
I feel this is the best Civic ever. This is my fifth Honda in 24 years, which consisted of three Civics and two CRX's. Hondas are all I've ever owned because of they're incredible reliability. I had a 2002 Civic and this is a huge improvement. The sleek exterior, the space-age cockpit style interior and instrumentation are incredible looking. The ride is much smoother than my older model and the acceleration is quicker. I've never had a car this nice before so quite frankly, I feel like I'm driving a luxury car that just so happens to get an average of 35 miles per gallon. It's another true triumph from Honda and just plain fun to drive! |

| Pros: What do you like about 2006 Honda Civic?
Bang for the buck
Fuel efficiency
Exterior and interior design
Large front windshield
Steering wheel design and feel
Dashboard & instruments
FULL SET OF AIRBAGS Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
Move the freakin hand brake so it doesn't nail me in the knee!!!
Sound system is very marginal - don't make it an integral part of the car so we can replace it if we want to.
There is a serious blind spot over the left shoulder of the driver.
Make the seats more comfortable and a bit more leg room in the back seats.
Trunk release on the remote entry key.
Levels for engine noise is good, but wind noise could be better.
More options available on the LX model. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
If you read my comments on the likes/dislikes section, that pretty much sums it up. Fabulous bang for the buck. Handles very well, a bit sporty in the way of the suspension. You will feel a lot of the highway bumps - even the small ones. The interior and exterior design is way cool. Several major complaints... Move the freakin parking brake handle!! It bumps into my knee cap. Why they put it there I will never know. Not all Honda owners are going to be the frame size of a small Asian woman. Next, there is a serious blind spot over the left shoulder of the driver to the point of being dangerous. Owners need to know about this and be seriously aware that it is there. The fuel efficiency - no surprise here - is superb. The radio is a real disappointment. Any one with half a good ear will hear a fairly muddy quality to the sound. I am hoping a replacement set of Alpine speakers will help. Honda, don’t integrate the stereo into the dashboard if you are going to sell us a sucky sound system. At least that way we can replace it with something of quality. The seats are a bit tough - I like their ergonomics but they could stand to be a bit softer. I bought this as a commuter car and for what it is, it is hard to beat. Not my dream car, but certainly a great car for the dollar. |

Fix the rear suspension so that it doesn't chew up tires and make hideous noise while driving. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
Honda needs to recall all 2006 Civics to fix the rear suspension |

I needed new break pads at 8,000 miles and 16,000 miles , this is ridiculous. Per internet research there are others with break problems. this is the first Honda I bought, and this was rated highly by consumer reports. I will never buy another honda, I am so disappointed. The dealer replaced them free at 8000 miles but it is now out of warranty and will cost 200 for new break pads, and the rotors are starting to wear.I will never buy another honda. Poway california. |

I like the gas mileage I get on my LX. Also the exterior looks like a sports car and the color (Gray) doesn't show dirt. Cons: How would you improve 2006 Honda Civic?
I would make the front seats more comfortable, move the emergency brake to a position it will not hit my leg, figure a way to clean the massive front windshield, fold the rear seat back down without having to raise the trunk lid to pull the lever to release it, and use materials that would not scratch easily as the plastic materials do. 2006 Honda Civic Review:
I am very pleased with my 2006 Honda Civic and have owned a total of 8 new Honda Civics and CR- V and have had not trouble with any of them. |
