The 8th gen Civic is the best looking Civic ever produced. I was very disappointed with the 2012 redesign. The 2013 refresh looks better than the 2012, but the 8th gen is still the best!
Every time we test drive a new sedan car and sit back in our old 2009 Civic, we go back home not with a new car but with many ? in our head. This how much we love our Civic.
Watching this in 2019. Still a fan of Redline. Man has its a big difference from then to now. Great improvements. Still nice and thorough. I own the 2009 lx and I just like to watch reviews about my own car 😂
My 07 got totaled and now im getting a 10 model. This thing is by far the best driving car ive ever driven. It responds really well, its fun as all hell to drive around in, and its surprisingly roomy for its size. More than any other car ive driven, the 8th gen civic feels almost like an extension of your body in how well it drives. Highly recommend.
Man I just totalled my 06 couple like a freakin idiot and that's why I'm here. But I'm addicted to these 8th gens. So easy to work on, I know how to pretty much fix everything so I'm also looking to get a 10 LX-S. Really disappointed these don't have a trunk popper on the fob. But the interior and EX wheels are their major draw.
I love the design of this car and I’m so excited to get it on Friday with only 55,000 miles, I feel so blessed. I can’t stand the way some newer cars look. ❤️❤️
I completely agree. They look amazing, and whether your 16 years old or 61 years old, anyone looks good driving it. And it's very ahead of it's time. Hell, the big three still used 4 speeds in their compact cars until 2011! And aside from a couple cheap pieces, this is really well put together. And the seats are really comfy.
I still drive my 2009 Civic LX that I got brand new. Its got 145K miles on it. It's been reliable for me and I love driving it, more than my brother's 2020 Civic Sport (it's too low, so hard to get out of). I had to replace the starter, AC compressor, front wheel bearings, 4 window side weather molds. I
Im proud to own a 8th gen 2006 civic. All grey with tinted windows and i gotta say the body style is the best modern car design vs its class competitors.
I just got my mine! Mines a 2011 Honda Civic LX-S with only 42,000 miles on it! This one on the video has 48,000 miles on it and the video was published years ago! Perfect car for school and work!
Zohirul Islam Jewel My folks have a '14 Corolla. It's nice and quiet. Really responsive. But the get up and go is a little late. My girlfriend drives a '16 Versa. Her first car was a 2001 Nissan and she had that up until 2015 when a drunk driver plowed into it at a gas station. She swears by them. The only Honda I've ever touched was a push mower so I don't know how they drive, but as long as you're getting 25+ mpg and you can get on the highway without hitting 6rpm, I think you're good. I'll be buying this exact same model Civic next week. Great price for the performance.
Love you’re videos man! Especially the Honda ones! I’ve had to 8th gen civics right now I have a 2010 ex. In the video when you were comparing the time levels you said that that the ex 2010 model comes with automatic off headlights. Unfortunately that’s incorrect lol. Anyways love the vids man
I have a 2011 Lxs manual and love it . I get 33 mpg combined mileage and have a heavy foot. My only gripe is the parking brake placement. I think someone from the Jackass show must have placed it there.
Awesome review, just bought a silver LX-S today! Was stuck between a Focus and Mazda3, then saw this review and test drove the Civic and had to have it. Got this car for around the same price as the LX models in the area and the added options are very nice. I've owned a 97 Corolla and then a 97 (loaded) Saturn SL2. I was very comfortable driving the Civic from the start and the dash/view wasn't all that strange. Only thing I'm missing is a trunk popper (the Saturn had that).
Cool' I'm looking to buy me a car by the end of this year and this one looks nice , and since you have this car and just brought it , how does it drive?
I bought mine 5 months ago. A 2011 model and let me tell you it's really smooth and fun to drive. Also one thing you'll love about it is that it's good on gas.
Madison Ziegler If you put 92 octane in there it will run better and give you better mileage, especially in the winter. You'll notice a real different in the car, it'll drive smoother, better start ups, acceration and fuel economy improve. It's actualyl a high compression engine but because of how honda designed the oil sprayers they can make it run on 87. But the computer will detect the 92 and it'll run much better. :)
Still a very nice looking car if you ask me. Not all the features of the EX, but more than enough for me. I still like this body style better than the new ones and my '96 Civic now has over 200K miles on it, so it might be time for an upgrade. Good review too!
Nice car. I am driving a Honda Civic 1.8L VTi, iVtec 2009 facelift model. Great and stylish. Good steering and very comfortable. Nevertheless, it's not for the power lover.
I have '07 Civic LX. I do have an external temp display. Sadly, there is only 1 110V outlet. Don't spend more money on buying a LX-S over a LX. You get only a nicer looking exhaust tip, spoiler and a leather covered steering. You would still not have boot release button, single 110V outlet, no map pocket, and no steering controls. My 2004 Aveo had 2 110V outlets :-(. The AC does feel weak at times but is still adequate. The dash is low, may be a bit long. But the low dash makes visibility great. Newer cars have high dash and not so great visibility. Does 100 kph at 2k rpm, pulls strongly if you rev it high. Looks better than the current civics, not over done yet sporty and elegant. It is a little noisy, you hear tire, road, and wind noise, paint chipping, and wiper motor problems.
I love the eighth gen LX-S!!!! Especially with the black interior and the leather steering wheel. We had an 11 EX, and it was really nice, but I like the seventh gens better.
Buyer Beware: Our 2010 Honda Civic leaks profusely onto the driver's side floor, front and back. Door stripping looks good and windows seem to seal properly, but the floorboard is always getting wet from rain. It's ridiculous.
The new civic is basically a corolla with more advanced technology. I really wish Honda would re-work the civic, especially the dash. I don't really like its layout. You always run into curbs cause you can't see how close you are to the curb. And I would much prefer a analog speedo. Forget digital.
I have this car, same year and color and I love it. The only thing that sucks is the paint. The clear coat is starting to peel on the roof and the trunk lid. I plan on keeping it till it dies.
I'm glad you mentioned that the A/C isn't as strong as the 7th gen. I drove an '09 EX as a loaner car for a day while my '05 Taurus was having some work done and I definitely felt that the A/C wasn't as cold as my dad's '05 LX. I wonder if the '12 has a stronger A/C. I also noticed that when I tested a '10 Fit. I also think the styling still looks fresh and I prefer the '09-'11 styling versus the '06-'08 styling.
There one thing that this civic had that the new one doesnt. This one has the floor mounted gas pedal. very reminiscent to acura. The new has the old hanging pedals. IMO the floor mounted pedal is better because it better on your feet
Fantastic cars. Still miss my 2010 LX. Yes, the front view is a bit strange with the windshield, dash, etc. Sort of minivan like. Still awesome cars, though. In 80,000 miles I only changed oil, tires, and brakes. Only time I didn't like it was in rain and snow - they are a bit light to really feel like you have secure handling.
Thanks for this review ^^ been looking at a lot of 8th Gen Civics to buy for my first car, and I stumbled on a 2010 that looks great, going to the dealership in about ~3 weeks 😊
@@yukonstriker1703 you’d be surprised lol, lots of the civics I was looking for sold quick but there were a few that stayed on the dealer’s lot for quite some time
I believe that you can get the 60/40 Split Rear Seats as an Option on the LX Models because my Aunty has an 06 Civic LX and hers has the 60/40 Split Rear Seats
Great review but you're wrong about the vtec. It isn't kicking in at 5k rpm like you said, i-vtec in the R18 engine kicks in at 1500 to 3500 rpm to save fuel, not for performance.
Hey, how’s your 2010 civic ex been the past 6 years? Wondering how reliable these are, I know it’s Honda but I heard these have some issues here and there
Great reviews thank you what I like about you reviews is that I know all the details I did not know that the lx did not have a outside temp gauge on the dash now I know to get an ex. I will get this generation civic over the new Nissan sentra
That's weird. I have an 09 LX-S in Canada and it has the front and rear disc brakes, a moonroof and the trunk release on the keychain. Maybe the Canadian model varies from the US model. Even though you get more standard features on the civic's competitors, all around this is a great car and reliable has hell.
I may check those boxes, but that does NOT in any way, shape, or form, mean that I am a "commoner". Like everyone else in this world, I have my own style, personality, and have characteristics unique to myself. You don't know me and therefore have no right or ability to judge me on any basis. I, like everyone else, am a unique person and do not wish to own something geared toward every random person. There is nothing wrong with the Civic, it is just so common and I am not.
haha you actually get a nice even amount of ppl who love the way Honda structures their options and those who hate it. I'm kind of in the middle. I like how I don't have confusing option packages to deal with but I dislike how I have to choose a NAV model to get SAT radio or BT for example
Never understood why people love this car so much. I dove a friend's 2011 once. Poor outward visibility and front headroom. Could not see the front of the car when driving. It drove ok. Not crazy about the look though much better than 01-05 and the 2012 and newer. I actually liked driving an 05/ 06 Corolla better. Would choose an 04-08 Mazda 3 over either. These Civics also have an issue with cracking engine blocks.
I test drove a lot of Toyotas. 07 Camry being the best. I drove a '13 corolla and that car was absolute shit. Before that, I drove an 07 corolla (same gen as your 06) and the car was so boring that I passed up even when the dealership gave me a good deal including a rebate....Civic is arguably better. More futuristic looking, more tech and better resale value.
I never understood what was so great about the overrated Mazda3 (aka the "chick" car). They have serious rust issues around the rear wheel fenders and the 2010 smiley-face redesign was atrocious. I don't think the 2014 3 looks all that great either.
rnorred1986 I like how they made the speedometer higher up so you can see your current speed. I haven't drove one so I don't actually know if it's intrusive or not.
How does insurance work in America? In England insurance on a Civic for a first car would be impossible, at 18 I can't afford to insure anything, a 1.0 Vauxhall Corsa is at least £4k to insure, insuring a Civic would probably be edging up to £10k, even for the base 1.4.
How do you open the trunk on this Honda Civic? Is there a button inside the cabin or on the trunk, or do you have to unlock it with the actual key like on older vehicles?
Wow I was on my way to pick up my 9th gen the I seen this one. Good god it's great except I like the tachometer/speedometer better on the 2012. Do they get the same gas mileage the prices are great but MPG is my main concern. Edit: Also the 2012 is very atmospheric and roomy is this the same rent the front seat area? That and I seriously hope theirs about the same feel as far as blind spots. Is it?
2011 civic has the same body style as the 2009 and 2010 civic. (Refreshed in 2009) Cruze is a shit car. I test drove the 2013 malibu (bigger version of cruze) and it was downright boring and pathetic to drive. Not only that but Cruze is a fleet vehicle where 40% of its sales are from rental companies and businesses. Interior quality is ALOT worse on the Cruze than the Civic. Not worth it.
The 8th gen Civic is the best looking Civic ever produced. I was very disappointed with the 2012 redesign. The 2013 refresh looks better than the 2012, but the 8th gen is still the best!
What about the latest civic. I think it looks sexy

I have saying the same for many years. Absolutely cleanest design ever.
8th gen and 2013 Civics are my favourite. The 2008, 2010, or the 2013 ones are my go-tos now if I ever want a small car for me.
06 07 08 best

This design looks way better than their over the top current ones.
Way ahead of your time Sofyan!

What color?
Such great cars! I like this SO much better than the new generation! it's weird how the new one actually looks older lol
Check again, the 1.8L engine has had i-VTEC since it came out in 2006.
Its a great car, you wont regret it. Looks awesome too :P
THANK YOU for making this review because im thinking about getting one for college
My fave Civic. Looking at getting one soon! I'll just say now in mid-July 2023 the 2012 Civic might've been ugly but not as bad as today's Accord!
Still a very nice looking car if you ask me. Not all the features of the EX, but more than enough for me. I still like this body style better than the new ones and my '96 Civic now has over 200K miles on it, so it might be time for an upgrade. Good review too!

I'm in love with this 2010 Honda Civic LX-S
2010 Honda Civic LX-S, 48,499 miles
Nice car. I am driving a Honda Civic 1.8L VTi, iVtec 2009 facelift model. Great and stylish. Good steering and very comfortable. Nevertheless, it's not for the power lover.
I find this generation of civic has better build quality versus the current generation Hope Honda improves that in the 2022 Civic.
I have '07 Civic LX. I do have an external temp display. Sadly, there is only 1 110V outlet. Don't spend more money on buying a LX-S over a LX.

Great Review Of 2010 Honda Civic LX-S. 😁
The 8th generation LX from Japan is the best fully loaded
I love the eighth gen LX-S!!!! Especially with the black interior and the leather steering wheel. We had an 11 EX, and it was really nice, but I like the seventh gens better.
11 was last 8th gen.. the 7th generation was less powerful less efficient heavier narrower and frame was 35 % less stiff than 8th gens
Buyer Beware: Our 2010 Honda Civic leaks profusely onto the driver's side floor, front and back. Door stripping looks good and windows seem to seal properly, but the floorboard is always getting wet from rain. It's ridiculous.
its because there is a tube that allows water to be moved from the roof to the ground its probably clogged check it it has to do with the sun roof

Great review but you're wrong about the vtec. It isn't kicking in at 5k rpm like you said, i-vtec in the R18 engine kicks in at 1500 to 3500 rpm to save fuel, not for performance.
it looks very comfortable..

Me too i like the civic over all of its competitors
I still have on that was my sisters. Mine is white and now it’s 10 years old
That's weird. I have an 09 LX-S in Canada and it has the front and rear disc brakes, a moonroof and the trunk release on the keychain. Maybe the Canadian model varies from the US model. Even though you get more standard features on the civic's competitors, all around this is a great car and reliable has hell.
Oh wow! Yeah I live in the US and my 11 LX-S doesn't have any of those, but I wish it did. lol
I like my 2005 Civic coupe way better. Never really liked the look of newer Civics. Pre-2006 is the way to go for me
I currently have a 8th gen and 9th gen civic ex l and both are gutless so I can only imagine the even weaker power train in the 7th gen.
+Clyde Mac yeah my sister has 10, pretty gutless with ac on and passengers. Can't imagine the older ones. Smh
Could not agree with you more man
pre 06 civic are also basic as fk.
I also like the styling of the 2006-2011 and the 2012-2015 Honda Civics and the 2001-2005 Civic.

This review wasn't boring at all
I managed to somehow get my parents to buy me a 2009 tsx with 60,000 miles instead of one of these. I have no fucking clue how, but my tsx is awesome.
P.S. I love how your channel is "not avaliable."...
the 6 speeds are better than the modern 5 speeds if the first 5 gears have the same ratios as a 5 speed.
Great review. Thanks.

Not crazy about the look though much better than 01-05 and the 2012 and newer. I actually liked driving an 05/ 06 Corolla better. Would choose an 04-08 Mazda 3 over either. These Civics also have an issue with cracking engine blocks.
I test drove a lot of Toyotas. 07 Camry being the best. I drove a '13 corolla and that car was absolute shit. Before that, I drove an 07 corolla (same gen as your 06) and the car was so boring that I passed up even when the dealership gave me a good deal including a rebate....Civic is arguably better. More futuristic looking, more tech and better resale value.
I never understood what was so great about the overrated Mazda3 (aka the "chick" car). They have serious rust issues around the rear wheel fenders and the 2010 smiley-face redesign was atrocious. I don't think the 2014 3 looks all that great either.
liddlebopeep yeah same. It's just going to be another generic car that nobody's going to even bother looking 5 years from now.
So sad that the hatchback version wasn't sold in the U.S.
I passed my G licence in Ontario Canada on this car
I miss my 2011 lxs urban titanium metallic now I have a 2020 forester sport
I want one in black. My cousin has an I think and EX in black. I like Civics. I also like Corolla’s. Because of reliability.
I got a black on black one, I'm getting it tinted soon. It's fantastic
The civic has independent suspension all around (vs torsion bean in the Corolla) and a 5 speed tranny vs. the 4 speed in the Corolla.
Love this car, except for the rear. The asian spec one looks much better
The civic was great until the 2012 came out. The new one looks like a cheaper version of this. But I would still take one.
I prefer this over its competitors like the corolla
Yeah it looks more sporty and probably handles better, the Corolla is probably a bit more reliable though
nice :D this is my fav car, even my dad has a blue normal lx one of these
i'd recommend the si trim or ex coupe. The coupes rear end looks so good IMO.
ahorraré tanto, espero tener uno de estos en 3 años... espero :/
santiago yescas , lo pudistes comprar ?
Love the exterior, but really hate the interior! That 2 tier dash still annoys me.
rnorred1986 I like how they made the speedometer higher up so you can see your current speed. I haven't drove one so I don't actually know if it's intrusive or not.
Dennis Xu it's not! i'm short and it makes no difference in visibility!
rnorred1986 it’s supposed to help the driver focus on the road more and still see the speed their driving
My brother has a 2011 Civic EX-L and it doesn't have automatic headlights
How does insurance work in America?
In England insurance on a Civic for a first car would be impossible, at 18 I can't afford to insure anything, a 1.0 Vauxhall Corsa is at least £4k to insure, insuring a Civic would probably be edging up to £10k, even for the base 1.4.
How do you open the trunk on this Honda Civic? Is there a button inside the cabin or on the trunk, or do you have to unlock it with the actual key like on older vehicles?
The EX has a button on the remote. There's a lever on the floor by the driver to pop the trunk.
Wow I was on my way to pick up my 9th gen the I seen this one. Good god it's great except I like the tachometer/speedometer better on the 2012. Do they get the same gas mileage the prices are great but MPG is my main concern.
Edit: Also the 2012 is very atmospheric and roomy is this the same rent the front seat area? That and I seriously hope theirs about the same feel as far as blind spots. Is it?
in oct 2014, is this a good buy or a 2011 ? how about the cruze?
2011 civic has the same body style as the 2009 and 2010 civic. (Refreshed in 2009)
Cruze is a shit car. I test drove the 2013 malibu (bigger version of cruze) and it was downright boring and pathetic to drive. Not only that but Cruze is a fleet vehicle where 40% of its sales are from rental companies and businesses. Interior quality is ALOT worse on the Cruze than the Civic. Not worth it.
ok thanks!
