Talking My Personal Take On the 2006 Sedan EX Model

Hey all I can say is that it is one hell of a car.. Its the same price of my canadian Si but you now get full abs with brake diistribution plus 4 wheel disk and an interior that kicks ***.. It has an Accord ride and all I can say is that yes it is quicker than my 05 period!!!!!!!!!!!!!,,

I even took it for one hell of a drive with the sales manager and its unreal how you can hardly hear it run...

Hey I love the 7th gen but this EX had stuff that made me smile..
Like audio controls on the steering wheel, Super easy to read guages...

Just opening the door and closing it was like wow the front doors are like super wide....

Its way ahead of its time and I congratulate honda in making the civic a little more grown up...

The Si is around the corner and that will be the icing on the cake....

Common guys be open minded. I was sure to hate it after reading al the comments but im 34 and I have to say its a really sweet car and its really up there in technology....


I will be an 8th gen owner for sure but like the manager said wait till spring when the interest rates will come down.....


OH by the way there was like 75 people at the dealership and no one had one bad thing to say about it....

Just take a step back from 1989 lets say and look at what we have today..

Some might be disapointed but Honda is in to make millions with this car and I agree that it is amazing..

Thanks Derek for the 8th Gen site

Ill be a supporting member there also

Viper

Well in 1988 89 the Si's packed a nice punch. It was a hatch and it started attracting customers to honda more than ever.. The prelude was the only honda choice back then...

Anyways the car drives so well and honestly i could not get it to lose control in a slalom

Imagine this was just the 4 door ..WOW

I saw the sedan like 3-4 weeks ago when they first appear at the dealership and I agree, everything about the car is better.
I didn't get to drive it, but I did drive the Si this past Saturday at the expo center. Now that's a blast!!

I to do not like the style of the front, but I got over it, the ligths are cool though, it's just to stuby.

I only got the LX, becuase I could not justify spending 2500 for a sunroof and better rims (and they all come with the same engine, only the Si gets a different engine)

Overall I have to say the car is nicer though.

Maybe in 2007 Honda will do with the Si what Acura did to the RSX, making the front bumper even more agressive looking...

its a lot more then that, with the ex you also get 4 wheels discs, trunk oppener, and other small stuff that adds up, but i agree the lx is a good compromis but i like the 4 wheel discs and other stuff, just no need for the sunroof

I saw one for the first time last week. It pulled up at my bank at the drive-thru. It looked ugly to me. I'm sure the interior is nice, but I just dont like the sedans. The coupe does look good to me, I just havent seen one in person yet.

i told my gf to get rid of her 2001 Neon and get an 8thGen EX Sedan...she said no. i dont like Neons which is probably why we always drive in my Civic. way more fashionable.
