Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Although the low-end torque is a bit weak (and the only reason I'm giving it a 4 instead of a 5 for Performance), the car handles like a dream. The car's clutch and shifter are by far the best in any car I've ever driven. Steering is tight and responsive, and for a sporty car the suspension is pretty forgiving, making day-to-day driving a lot of fun. The seats are excellent and very supportive. While the dash seemed a bit odd at first -- especially the two-level cockpit section -- I got used to it very quickly and now realize how incredibly well-designed and intuitive it is, with very easy-to-reach controls.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Boost the low-end torque. Improve the stereo (it's ok, but not great -- and has only a single CD instead of an in-dash 6-disc changer).

2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
Overall this is a great car and, at about $21K (without nav), a tremendous deal. The handling is incredible, the gearbox is incredibly smooth, the interior well-designed and very comfortable, and the styling is great. My biggest complaint is that the low-end torque is a bit on the weak side for what's billed as a performance car -- although since I'm not a pedal-to-the-metal driver (rarely topping 4,500 RPM), this really isn't much of an issue for me. Someone who really wants a rocket in this price range might do better with a MazdaSpeed3 -- although that car doesn't offer a sunroof, has worse gas mileage, is a little more expensive and, in my opinion, doesn't handle as well as the Civic Si. Also, the Si stereo is only average.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Great gas millage, great interior, modern dash, digital speedometer.

Handles well, many safety features, large trunk.

This is a fast car, even with a 4 cylinder. You can get up to 90 before you know it.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Better visibility. You really have to use your mirrors because blind spots abound. Styling is not that good compared to Nissan, but it is a Honda. Air a real drag on millage and performance.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
I like the sound the engine makes every time you hit the 6000rpm zone and you get great gas mileage .

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Probably the torque, and I think Honda could definitely make a v-6 version and or out a turbo or supercharger for this.

2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
The car is extremely fun to drive, and the four doors do come in handy.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
This car is the best car I've ever owned. The power is there when I need it and gets good gas mileage too.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Has cold air intake already, but could settle for a turbo and maybe the navigation system could be stock.

2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
There's really nothing bad to say about the car. This car is amazing.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Great power and handling for the price. I stumbled across this while looking at Mazda 3s, and I couldn't justify the 2k difference in price to NOT own this as my family car. I have never regretted that decision

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
This car is beautiful inside but it seems like alot of the competition has gone more digital inside and the none-nav version I bought isn't quite as techy. Minor gripe, though.

2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
A great fun car to drive. The biggest problem I have is trying to stay limited during the "Break In" period of 500-1000 miles or so. It is such a rush to take it to 8k with the silky smooth 6 speed!!

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
The 6-speed transmission is short, quick, and silky smooth. The sedan version offers a little more room that the coupe so I am glad Honday decided to go this way.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan?
Heated seats and leather would be the only improvement I can really back whole heartedly. Lighted vanity mirrors would be a nice touch. Only 600 miles so far, and no real improvements that would sway my decision away from Honda. Just some "nice to haves".

2008 Honda Civic Si Sedan Review:
This is a great car with lots of power! It revs quickly, shifts smoothly, and manages 30 mpg. The looks, even without the aftermarket assist, are fantastic in my opionion.
