Very Good For All Around Town And Commuting — Has anyone experienced a ticking noise in the engine at low revs? It sounds like the engine needs oil (it didn't). The dealer's tech compared it w/another 2009 coupe and said it made the same noise. It's very noticeable idling at a light and in reverse.

2009 White Civic Lx Coupe — Performance....... its a civic lx not an SI. It is a very smooth riding car, with very quick and responsive steering, handling pretty good for a front wheel drive car, and is very fun to drive. Great gas mileage, very low maintenance, very reliable. The exterior styling is the a great increase over last years model, honeycomb grill, black housing headlights with clear corners, and more aggressive sportier front bumper. build quality is as good as you can expect for such a inexpensive car.

Civic Si — The car is great. I've owned 2 already and my husband had 1. Performance is good. Cost of ownership is great, it's a Honda so what do you expect. I love to drive the car, long trips or short. I drive it daily to work as well as have taken it on a 6 1/2 hour road trip to the beach. It's a great car. Not much else to say.

Pros

Very fun to drive, Economical before ivtec engagement, then still great mpg's even when driving hard.  (100hp per liter) handles even better than stock with HFP suspension.

Cons

No leather option available

Great Sports Coupe. — I never get bored driving this car. Take it to 5800 rpm's and have some fun. Even said, this car is still very cheap to own and practical to use as a daily driver. Just recognize, it will not keep up with V8's and turbo 4's in the straight line category if you plan to buy.

It Gets The Job Done — its a car I don't have to worry about. It's under warranty, honda's are bullet proof. It will take me through college and then some. It drives ok, it has a good stereo, and I like the manual transmission. I don't know why I'm still typing, because this seems like enough.

Great Car — Great car, fun to drive. Not great for space, but gas mileage is unreal. Handles great, good acceleration and handles turns really well. The 16" tires are ok, winter tires were pretty expensive for it. Would buy another one for sure.

Awesome And Hot Looking! — awesome car--for an inexpensive coupe, it looks great- Handles great on the highway...very smooth and quiet. Recommend getting one with sunroof--gives you a sense of space since the roof is so low. Gas mileage is unbelievable---as compared to my last vehicle, a GMC Envoy! This car is lots of fun especially if you are going through a midlife crises
