Rep Power: 310

Whats up guys, used to be a frequent member here and I need some help. I'm looking to pick up an 06 Civic, I have been lagging a little in terms of research so I figure this forum has the most up to date info on these cars.

In terms of frequent problems or things to look for in the 06 Civics, what should I look for or should know about? I'm looking to pick one up with around 15-20k miles so its used...

Also, what is a realistic gas mileage you guys been getting with the automatic trans? Those EPA estimated ones are probably off so some realistic input owuld be nice.

Thanks in advance

My 2007 EX coupe with auto has been a solid 25, which is mosty my commute to and from work, with the AC on lately. I have an 8 mile ride 50% highway and 50% side streets each way.
I go the the station every 2 weeks and pump 45$ to fill it, from about 1 bar remaining on the guage (low fuel warning light comes on at 2 bars -FYI)
about 12.5 gallons into the tank.

The R18A is awsome for such a economy car I am still amazed. I could get better milage I guess, but I love to get the revs up when I can and my comute is a bit short.

the factory 30/40 is a bit inflated, but I had an 100 mile trip at over 75 mph most of the way, that did not budge the guage.
I love my Honda !

I average 34 mpg with mixed driving, I think that's pretty good.

I know you're asking for AT, but my MT 06 gets 36 mixed.

It's such a great ****ing car.

Our AT gets between 33 and 36 mixed, but mostly city. If it's all-out highway we've done better than 43. Pretty nuts.

36 with a MT? Do you ever hit the gas pedal hard?

Only when I need to pass somebody, otherwise it's pretty steady driving.

IMO there's no reason to speed. I've already had 2 tickets and I learned that speeding just costs money whether you get caught or not.
