Used 2008 Honda Civic for Sale near Charlottesville, VA
Not content to rest on its recent laurels, the 2008 Honda Civic adds three more trims to its lineup this year, bringing more luxury, more performance, and more savings to the popular compact car. Available in a sedan or coupe, the front-wheel drive 2008 Civic not only features a 110-horsepower, 1.4-liter inline-four gas/electric Hybrid model, but this year introduces the GX. Its 1.8-liter inline four delivers 113 hp and runs only on natural gas, making it the first and only car to earn EPA certification for zero emissions. The GX gets slightly less fuel economy in the city (24/36 to the 26/34 in the other trims), but makes you feel better about not polluting the planet. It also qualifies for tax breaks and perks, but is available only to New York and California residents.
Also new is the EX-L, a more luxurious form of the upscale EX. Both EX trims get leather trim this year, heated seats, and an optional navigation system (standard on the EX-L). The DX, LX, and EX trims feature a 1.8-liter, 140-hp, four-cylinder i-VTEC engine and choice of 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. Standard ABS brakes, 15-inch wheels, and dual front and side impact airbags earn five stars in crash tests. Base models start with power windows and locks, a CD/MP3 player, cruise control, and remote entry, and more creature comforts, such as leather upholstery and power front seats, get added as you move up the line.
Reintroduced last year, the Civic Si is the performance version, with a rear spoiler, sports suspension, performance tires, and sports badging. The redesigned Civic's aerodynamic exterior complements the performance of the 2.0-liter, 197-hp inline four. It gets a faster brother this year, with the expected arrival of the MUGEN Si. Developed in conjunction with MUGEN Motorworks, it upgrades the Si with a track suspension, enhanced front and rear damping, lighter aluminum tires, and a lower ride height.
It seems like the 2008 Civic is trying to please all driving tastes, whether it's a sedan or coupe, economy car or quick racer wannabe. Rumor has it a wagon version may be in the works. Drivers love the fuel economy, smooth handling, and styling, but complain of road noise, a rough ride, and cheaply-made interior materials.
4.7 Overall rating
(229 reviews)This car hasn't had a repair performed in 7 years and 70k of mixed driving. If this car had more road noise isolation it would be perfect. Easy ingress-egress, the driving position is great, controls are simple and well placed. Power is ok but at 38-40 mpg highway driving it strikes the perfect balance. It is as solid, rattle and squeak free as the day it was delivered. Handling is excellent. The interior is designed with high quality materials. The leather seats look new. I paid $23K for this car new and it's worth $10 to 11K today. For a small economical car I find it difficult to believe there's anything better.
Honda Civic 2008 is undoubtedly one of the best cars you will buy. Awesome drive experience with ultimate comfort. It also is not hard to maintain the car. I really loved driving this car and would recommend it to others as well.
Has good high end power, lacks low end torque Had a bad day at work? take the car out and let the engine hum around 5000-7000 rpm and the car comes alive and so do you Typical Honda build quality. Fun Factor - Great in the higher rev band could do with some better low end gearing
This was my second new Honda I bought-first car note (my first NEW Honda was an Elite scooter during college) and I liked it's futuristic design and it's dashboard. This felt about the same size as my 93 Accord EX 5MT sedan I had back in the day. This car was great around town but was great for road sailing on the highway. This car is easy to drive, inexpensive to own and has that Honda durability that gives you piece of mind. Even though I had a unique color/model/transmission combo and have never seen one exactly like mine, I'm sure there are some out there. I did however see numerous LX models in this color and a few automatic EX sedans in this color here and there. I averaged 33 mpg mostly over those 70771 miles I racked up on my ride. Xochella was a great car for my first brand new car; the Civic has come a long way since 1987-when I had a Civic RealTime 4wd wagon. The new one looks quite impressive I must say-and I've only seen the coupe version camoflauged-but it looks impressive.
Performance - Great for an 140 hp braking and handling are very good Build quality - It's a Honda what do you think Appearance - great appearance just nee to add skirt and a wing Fun - inside is really friendly and love display of the RPM and the speedometer. Finally it's a great basic car.
