civic brakes!
Source: MSN Autos

...Cons: BRAKES!!! BRAKES!!! they r bad big time. the other day i was driving on bumpy road and the car would not slow down.!!! I had to change the lanes in order not to hit the car infront of me,that was f... scary! i took it to the dealer and he said everything looks fine,no problems there.... bad torque. needs more power. price is too high for this type of car that comes with the civic brakes,c'mon acura!!! resale value!!!!!!!! i bought it for ~$30000 and carmax is giving me ~$21000 and it's only 5K!!!!!!!! Not impressed. Overall: I learned my lesson,i'm never buying a new car ever again!!!...

Good over-all small car

...Pros: very good driving car. Cons: Milage is not as advertized, Town- 35mbg, highway 44 mpg with a very light foot... Overall: I would give it a "7"...

#3
the ultimate cheating machine
Source: MSN Autos

...the backseat is cramped and unconfortable, the trunk space is verysmall. the A/C start out weak in the summer. sometime with three of us its unconfortable on long trip. I rather be some ware in the front seat rather in the passenger seat or the driver side of the car. Overall: I would recomend this car for personal driver or single because it is not a average family car because of the small trunk space and it best for two and its great for four if your going on short trips or a every day comuter. I wish we could take my new Toyota Camry on the trip because Its bigger and roomier and has more...

simple and economical
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: I like the manual transmission and the dashboard display.
The gas mileage could be better, but is probably about the best you kind find circa 2008.
You said "WhaaaaaaaaaaaaaT, ....COULD BE BETTER!" I say, "yes".
c'mon folks. Cons: No input for peripheral devices like mp3s or other creature comforts.
Power seats woul have been nice along with a navigation system. Overall: Buy the car if you drive a lot and don't need to haul much...

#5
Buy this
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The handling is smooth, the 5 speed manual gets me 50 to 80 mpg highway, really.
I went from Vancouver to Palm Springs for $45.00
!!!!No problems after three years. Some road noise, but will get new tires to fix that.
I would get another. Beats the prius, price and mpg.
Maintenance is cheap. Cons: Some road noise on rough roads. Acceleration is weak ( 93 hp) Overall: I don't buy gas anymore. ( Ok, $15.00 a week )...

#6
Change your habits and reap the rewards
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Gas Mileage - adjusting your driving techniques to make the most of it is well worth the effort.
Cons: Smaller trunk space Overall: Greatest car I've ever owned!
Gas mileage is dependent upon you changing old leadfoot habits and letting the car (AND the laws of physics) work to your advantage.
Went from 38/40 to 46/52 by learning to use the car well. Nimble handling and very comfortable...

...Pros: When I bought this car, I knew exactly what to expect.
It is perfect for me knowing what it is made to be.
I'm averaging 43mpg since last August. Just an awesome car. Cons: Just one dislike. Back seats don't recline. Overall: Awesome. High gas mileage, almost zero emissions and less dependent on opec...

Good Price for the mileage you can get out of this car
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: The inside confort and the lies per gallons, Since I bouth this car I was expecting to get between 47 and 49 MPG but my agerage has been 53 MPG.
Cons: The acceleration but it is understandable. Overall: I love this car and the price is right since in the long run you're going to get your ROI...

#9
Better than Most other Small Cars!
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: Car does everything well, but nothing great. A very good short commuter car.
Not good for long trips with the family. Cons: Front and rear leg room is a little cramped.
After one year of break in I can get about 39 mpg around Town but I can average about 48 on the highway.
MPG drops during the winter. Overall: I'm not sure the hybrid is worth the extra money. May be better in 2006 with the better tax credits and the new hybrid system...

#10
My other car is a hybrid
Source: MSN Autos

...Pros: excellent gas mileage above 30 degrees I get 48 in the city and 42 on the highway Cons: It gets stuck in the snow very easily.
Overall: This is an excellent vehicle for gas mileage and reliability. It saves me $125 a month in gas alone. That means it pays for itself 5 months of the year by using less gas...
