The 2008 Honda Civic is back, and with more luxury, performance and economy than ever. Its wide array of available configurations, well-considered design and ability to hold its value over time are just a few things that make the Honda Civic one of the best-selling cars in America.
The 2008 model continues in the style of 2006's complete redesign, offering a similar appealing interior layout, including the well-designed interior two-tier dash array. The controls and the displays are as easy to access with the hands as it is with the eyes, making speed checks and climate adjustments easier and safer.
The 2008 Honda Civic DX, LX and EX models offer a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that can produce 140 horsepower and 128 pound-feet of torque. That power is transmitted to the front wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission or the option 5-speed automatic.
For safety, you get a full range of overlapping protection, including front seat side airbags, full-length curtain airbags, and active front seat head restraints in addition to the standard airbag deployment. Crash test ratings yielded the Civc a perfect 5-stars in front passenger protection during frontal impacts. Side impact tests resulted in 4-stars for front passengers, and a full 5 stars for rear passengers.
The 2008 Honda Civic's brakes and steering are significantly responsive, and even the most basic trim-levels can easily be described as sporty and athletic to drive, and you'll find yourself driving yours just for the fun of it. And with its great mileage and environmentally conscious design, there's no reason not to do so.
