Overall, it still can't hold a candle to the Mazda 3S in terms of interior design, fit, and finish.

Holy sh!t the nose of that car is FUGLY. i thought the Si's looked okay, and maybe they do, but the regular Civics look like sh!t.

Oh, and that fvcking cluster design is STUPID. WTF WERE THEY THINKING????

 

[clickynext]

It's really not bad. Sure, not the most beautiful thing they could have created, but it is unique and it does look like a quality car with a nice interior and if that fuel economy is what you really get from it in practical application then it's great!

For 2006, all Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe models are powered by a Single Overhead Cam (SOHC) 1.8-liter inline four-cylinder design with 16 valves, a new version of i-VTEC, and a dual-stage intake manifold. The engine produces 140 horsepower @ 6300 rpm (up from 127 horsepower at 6300 rpm, EX trim level), 128 lb-ft. of torque at 4300 rpm (up from 114 lb-ft. @ 4800 rpm, EX trim level)

Emissions / Fuel Economy

* Estimated EPA fuel of 30/40 city/highway (automatic transmission)
* Ultra Low Emissions Vehicle-2 (LEV-2)

Yep if dealers don;t price them to high I see them moving very well with 30MPG in the city. Even if gas does come down a bit, i don;t think exxon (or any other oil copmpnay) will let them come down to much now that they have a taste for EXTRA profit.

I heard gas prices will be down to pre-Katrina levels around October/November, for what it's worth.

Did they double the tank? if not, then that's nothing because you'd have to fill up twirce as much...and that's a hassle sometimes.

co-worker bought into the high mpg crap, but hates his civic now because he fills up twice as much per week, which sucks.

saw the car in person today.

it looks good from side but front view is fugly! (just can't get use to that H mark...too big!!!)

IMO too much of radical design change.

...but i'm sure i'll see tons of civics running around here in columbus ohio soon.

 

[Excelsior]

Fugly.

Id take a Mazda3 over that sh!t any day. Half the reason some of you freaks think it is decent...is purely the fact that its a Honda.

 

[UNCjigga]

So rumor has it the European version (hatch) may come stateside as the new CRX??? Any chance this is true? If it is, I might know which car I'm getting after I graduate b-school!

Too bad they've become obese on the scales...

Considering the auto industry is transitioning HP rating to a 3rd party audited process, and the fact that mazda overrated two engines in the past 5 years, maybe you should wait until mazda puts out audited HP numbers before you buy a mazda.

Really? I think that it looks really odd from the side too, but I can't put my finger on it. The doors look too high, the front is kind of blunt/flat, and that C-pillar is funky. I'm sure that it's aerodynamic/slippery, but it looks odd...

just looks odd cuz front end is so short, plus angle of incline(?) from front hood to windshield is really steep.

i wonder how safe this new civic is, that having really short front end kinda scares me.

added: maybe it isn't that short...but dunno something looks odd

You sure do love to pimp your Ralliart.
Actually i do like the car alot and would consider it if only the front end looks like the Evo.
They changed the headlights and it looks fugly.
