watching a review of an 8th gen civic, while owning an 8th gen civic. yeah i love this car

It’s the best looking Civic in my mind! I have a 2010 and do not like the newer ones.

Just traded in my 2009 Toyota Rav4 V6 Sport for a 2006 Honda Civic LX sedan with 5-speed. Best decision of my life! So much fun to drive "Rather drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow" :)

I think this Honda is one of the best economical, dependable, and easy to maintain cars ever!

My 06 civic 300k miles original engine and transmission..still getting good gas mileage best car i ever owned.

Love the look of these! Still looks fresh today even with this body style nearing 20 years old. And the interior materials quality on the EX-L were insane for the class back in the day.

My 2006 civic has over 160k miles, still runs brand new. Comfy ride and amazing on gas. Nothing wrong with her I love my car

Have an '09 EX-L w/nav I inherited from my wife who bought it new. She got her 2022 CRV and I got a creampuff Civic with 58K miles. Win-Win.😎

My dad had one from 2006 to 2019. This car basically carried my whole childhood and brought me into the world of cars. Thx for the video.

When I hear 8th gen owners rev this baby up, I can feel the joy they get out of it. Great review dude!

I love how he sounds so professional & calm

Watching this made me so happy that this gen of civics are being appreciated. I myself got a 8th gen 2009 honda civic EXL coupe, drives like a beauty.

Forgot to mention the visibility of this car. If you switch to another compact sedan like nissan altima you feel like driving in a shoes box. You don't have that boxing feeling with this one. Best value Ive ever got in a car. And the mecanics...man so easy.

I own a 2010 Civic LX sedan and it is an underdog indeed! Great handling, ride, practicality, fuel economy, and durability. Even after 106K miles, it stills drives, feels, and sounds like brand new!

Congratulate your friend on keeping this little car in good shape.

Amongst enthusiasts this car isn’t underrated at all. It is very appropriately praised for the incredible handling and driving feel and of course the k20z3 with the close ratio 6spd

Proud owner of 2008 civic .

My favorite generation so far, I just think they’ve aged the best and I like that.

I have a 2015 civic si FB6, And just picked up an 09' civic Si FA5 as my weekend car. Both the 8th and 9th gens are amazing.

I have a 2010 civic. In fact I really love it.

I used to own a 2009 Honda CIvic LX in the same color as your car. I loved it a lot and I had a lot of plans to turn it into a car that looks sexy and is more convenient and usable on the inside. Unfortunately (and it hurts to think about to this day) someone had ran a red light at 60 mph in a 40 zone and totaled my car as well as nearly killing me. My life has been worse financially and mentally ever since and I do not forgive to person who was driving recklessly, as they had no insurance, and was letting an unlicensed minor drive. The only thing I wish upon them is imprisonment. I have a 2014 Ford Focus Hatchback SE and it is a nice car, but it has no sentimental value. I will forever miss having a 2009 Honda Civic. I just want to get an 8th generation honda civic again. There's nothing I can do now because I am only 17 and I don't have the financial leverage to be able to buy or finance one.

I have an 07 Honda Civic that I named Simon Car-funkle. I genuinely love this car. When I end up giving it up, I know it will be bittersweet, but I will be sticking with Honda. Lately I've been eye balling the 2018 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback.

Something I always remember about the 8th gen civic: The 2 dashboards.

Love my little trooper! :)

Amazing review. I love how driving the car feels like flying a spaceship or driving the batmobile lol.

I own a 8th gen 2010 now at 75k miles which has never let me down.,all servicing done on time. I kick the vtec once a week for fun.

Greetings from Brazil! Its my first car and i am very happy with it, i trust it a lot! 8th gen is the best looking gen for me

Making me appreciate civics

I have EX sedan I got with 190k miles. Now sitting 207k a year later. Thing runs amazing still, no lights or codes, with a mint interior although the paint is crapping out. Stock handling is really good it’ll surprise you. 37 highway mpg all day long, best $2500 I spent.

Dude, this was such a cool review. Especially the throwback introducing the older civics.

I have a 2009, and I love it! Dependable, easy to maintain, nice to drive, especially in twisty country roads. You can’t ask for better than that. I’ve got about 130,000 miles on it, and plan to keep it running well and on the road for a very long time to come. Thank you for making this review!

The last generation of the Civc greats

As a daily commuter with a 2007 Civic I get around 33 MPG in the city and 36.5 MPG on the highway. The best I've ever gotten was 43 MPG! This is with a 200,000 Mile engine.

The best Gen period ..

8th generation Hondas have a cult following I mean they're the best generation for sure when the 06 model came out it was on another level cars in its class couldn't even compete with it I mean look at the 06 Corolla compared to the 06 Civic it's laughable

Thank you for your review. You have natural talent to talk and it is nice to listen to you. Great job!

Nice review I have a 2007 manual and love it. 200K miles and driving great (yes, there is road noise) But the manual drive and the nimble maneuverability are so fun. I'm hanging on to it. Inflation is making me conserve. If it ain't broke don't replace it is my new mantra.

i have this car and have seriously grown to appreciate it with age.

It’s definitely the best looking civic

We still have my wife's 08 Civic and I absolutely love it. I've been putting a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it but it's time to finish the project and let another owner enjoy it. It really is an underrated car.

8th gen had all the modern safety features and feels completely modern. If it came in a hatchback it would be a great car.

You're such a pleasant man, enjoy your voice and review. I've got an 8th gen, love it's all round wholesomeness, precise steering and good cornering. What makes a decent difference are quality tires, and I keep mine at 34psi. To keep the engine happy use the correct oil, changed every 10k. I've replaced the starter and alternator, not complaining at 270k km (about 170k miles).

This was such a fun review to listen to. I really enjoyed listening to you present. Fun listen!

Bought the 2010 civic for a winter crasher and garage the 22 si. Gotta say I love the 2010 to drive every day . The last jobsite I was on was 140 miles a day pretty comfortable. Great video👍

Completely agree with what you said. Mine is a 2006 Asian spec model ( i live in Taiwan), which I personally think aesthetically looks nicer than the NA model. Basically looks identical to the Japanese 8th gen FD1. It's not a particularly fast car with just 140 hp, but handles very well. The interior also, til this day, looks very nice, not dated AT ALL. Honda truly outdid themselves with the generation of Civics.

I have a 2010 atomic blue civic and I simply love this thing. In my opinion it nails every detail that I as a person find reasonable. Reliable, affordable to maintain and upgrade if so desired, extremely fun and engaging to drive (in its own way), and it doesn't scream attention. Also, Honda. Mine came with a free vape because until I got one I just though it grows in there at some point.

The way you presented this car I liked it definitely got as a subscriber.

I gotta be honest..rode in a 2004 wrx sti..a benz s-500..a grand cherookee. My first real car after my teenage beaters was a honda couoe si 2009..still got it under 200 xxxkm still working like a charm. You only have slight issues with bushings and whatnot on those..no big repair cost..nothing..ever..only had bushing for (control arms + motor mount) and the regular oil change/alignment/galiper and stuff to change along the years..but ye. The si of that gen eith the nice lil bubbly style..still got one of the few still working well haha.

I just got and civic 2009 and compared it to a 2013 camry, for a small car and age it has. The car feels so fun, sporty and really premium for its price. Also the digital speedometer is just a cherry on top. I absolutely love that, all cars should have it. Even when Im going hella slow the car feels fast and fun

Bought my 08 new and still have it. Just passed 140k and still going strong. Great car.

Always wanted one of these. Might go for one when its time to retire my 09 TC with cars costing what they do today.

The car is great and so are you man! I love your tone and style of speaking. Luck.

perfect review ever fro a car. keep it up. Love from Pakistan

As a proud owner of an 8th Gen Si, I can say that it handles like a dream especially when you get some aftermarket control arms and suspension on there. At the time of writing, I have SPC Control Arms and TruHart Coilovers. That car is snappy, responsive and makes you feel like an initial D character when you take corners, that car is glued to the floor and it took 65mph and 10+ year old tires to lose control of the car when taking a corner. It also is easy to maintenance (unless you are trying to get to the oil filter) Overall, the 8th Gen Si is a phenomenal car and sounds great especially when VTEC kicks in (I currently have an Invidia Q300 Catback). I also have projector headlights. One thing that I want to stress to anyone who owns an 8th Gen Si, is that this is not a car that you should build for power, but instead handling. Focus more on control/handling mods then follow up with some small power mods like air intake, throttle body, headers and other such things. I also recommend adding after market detent springs as they make the gear shift snap into gear when it usually feels kinda mushy. It's a great track/touge car if you build it right and a genuine gem.

The other thing I love about this is the dashboard. Makes you sit so far from the windshield - it feels royal.. Lovely design too.

I currently own an 8th Gen EX with the manual and I may be buying an 8th Gen Si. I've really loved it so far, and I'm glad to just be getting an upgraded trim. If you're looking for one, I'd recommend getting the manual transmission. It shifts great and the clutch is very good. But you cannot go wrong with these things.

I honestly think that this is the best looking Civic after the new ones, but the European version is so good too as well

Great video ! Nice job!

the dohc sticker lol

great job in doing this review..Awesome

This is a Great video, hope it gets lots of views

Thanks for the detailed review. I have a 7th gen 03 coupe. But still appreciate these.

awesome video man!

I have 8th gen Honda Civic Ex Coupe (blue) It's an awesome vehicle Would buy it 10 times over! You are a great reviewer Liking this video

I love the 8th gen civic, I own a 2011, it's su h an incredible car, and I agree that it is so underrated

Aftermarket parts market for this gen is pretty well supported

I love it!

Thanks

Just picked up a 2011 sedan that was so cheap I couldn’t pass on it. Had to replace a worn motor mount and recharge the AC. The plugs I changed out and the old ones didn’t show signs of oil burning. With 150,000 miles it should be a solid gas sipper for another 150,000 with regular maintenance of course. Interior is still nice and solid too for a high mileage vehicle. Good job on the video. 👍

I have a 2011 Honda civic EX-L what surprised me was that it has leather seats and heated seat once I saw it on OfferUp I knew I had to buy it as my first car. What can I tell you.. it’s a fun car to drive I have so much love for it.

Purchasing a 2010 LX 4dr, 108k,for my son who is turning 16. Will be his first car. Sounds like it will be a good car for him along with being fun to drive. Of course I did my research already on these cars and this gen8.

I’ve owned an ‘08 5spd DX for about 5 years now and have put on probably close 74k miles . Never has left me stranded . I daily this thing and have driven it from WA state to Montana and back and as well as to Redding , CA and back . Never once had an issue in either trip. I been fortunate to have one that doesn’t have that paint fading problem . My paint has remained in tack besides minor scratches from daily use , a roof rack and a bike rack lol.

'is so nice!" Lol.... Thnx for helping me love my Civic even more, didn't think it was possible but wow. Thank u!(: But like really tho! Like when I drive other people's cars I'm like wow it's huge it's harder to move around bcuz mine is just so much easier to drive and get around and move around sooooo easily like it's small and compact but like not too much it's JUST perfect exp for my 4ft 11 ass lol and listen ive wrecked once and slammed the entire passenger side into a wall in the rain at night and I expected the entire side to be crushed in.....not a single dent I'm still really confused how that was possible bcuz it was a hard slam and the passenger chair airbag came out. Just blows my mind I'm really grateful tho.

Great video, this makes me miss my old honda! I had bittersweet love for my 8th gen SI, definitely my favorite Civic generation still but these are among the least reliable Civics! The design was so much fun and it really does drive well, but pre refresh models were notorious for engine blocks cracking. Mine had that paint flake like 90 percent of them, bad motor mounts, the pricey ac compressor failure, and it consumed brakes too for some reason. Definitely better than any domestic small cars, and I'd still take one over a kia or Hyundai but the newer ones with the k20 seem to be much more reliable. They just made you pay for personality, especially if you got an 06-08!

281k miles on my 2007 Civic and it is still going. Have there been issues, YEP! All in all though, it has been a great car!

MY FIRST CAR 😢

I own a 07 DX coupe. Was looking at performance parts and what is there is limited or expensive. I truly enjoy driving mine. I keep up with all factory maintenance required by book, I use only high-quality petroleum products. This car has never let me down, still gets awesome gas mileage. I was able to run two 3 inch tubes from the fog light location into a y pipe then into the air box. I have also partially deleted the EGR operation and installed a chip. The ram air makes a big difference when you need to haul azz.

I have two Civics( 2004, 2010) and one Accord. Love the Civics. 👍

I have 2006 EX coupe, love it! 235K and efficient!

When civic came out it was a hatchback as you mentioned but not a wagon till later on. It was s trunk model. CVCC was introed as 75 1.5 liter engine, following year was 1.6 liter with some updates.

I have a 2008 EX-L with 160k miles. It has only left me stranded once when the starter died (I confused the symptoms for a dying battery or could have addressed sooner). This is an excellent car and I'll never get rid of it. I've had two newer Honda Odyssey vans and a 4runner but this one always stays in the stable. Watching this video was like watching some kid on a archeology dig and he found my car.😀 This car is so old the original owner used directions printed from MapQuest! 🤣🤣

I have 2007 Honda Civic hatchback. I fell in love with its looks, but I'm looking to trade in to 9'th generation Civic. I'm simply missing rear camera and GPS navigation with an appropriate on-board display. These features are things which separate the old era car from new era cars for me. And I got 1.4l version. I can get 5l per 100 km with that engine, but boy it sure lacks power going upwards a steep hill or on the highway. As pricing goes, I got my Civic for 2500 euros. Back then they were really under-appreciated. However, at the moment, their price after like 4 years of usage went up to 4000 euros (ones in good condition like my own). 3000 (expected available offers) and 2000 (questionable maintenance cars). I'm looking to buy 9'th gen executive edition car with leather seats and sunroof. Those costs around 9000 euros at the moment. I will try to sell my car next month after some additional investments. If someone buys, great. If not, I will continue to invest into that car's anti-rust proofing. I do enjoy Honda Civics and I only want more of it.

06 Civic Si coupe with 63k Miles all original. with Fiji Pearl Blue paint. I only drive this car to the store and back I ride a R6 as a daily.

Looks cool even today.

I have this in silver and manual. Love it.

got a used 06 lx in shoreline mist my junior year of high school. three years later and it’s still with me. i absolutely love the thing, especially the speedometer. the only problems i’ve have was my passenger sun visor cracking and the speedometer display is starting to go out (i leave it on max brightness because i can’t see so that may be my fault)

Best review

I have a 2010 I use to commute to work, great reliable little car

i dont rlly like any of them but the 8th, which is why i have a 08 lx coupe 5spd, done a few main things cai, stage 2 clutch kit new cms, slave, performance coils, ngk irridiums, header (only engine ive ever seen with 1 ex port) spec d exhaust no its not a powerhouse but man is it sure pure fun to drive and the best sounding car ive ever had. if you happen to buy one with over 100k clean the throttle body no one ever does and you will notice it

Great review man. I own a '06 8th gen civic ex with the R18 and 5 speed manual. They are truly the underrated ones. Never left me stranded. So much fun, gets great mileage. There's no need for a Si unless you plan on building them up. The 5spd once you know how to drive them, are superior in every way over the autos. Vtec is intoxicating.

The 8th gen 06-09 had a major engine block problem were the block would crack. This issue had no fix other then a new engine. Honda canceled the warranty back in 2017 so if it cracks your on your own.

mine was 2007 lx coupe on 78,000 mi on it. such a great and fun car to drive.

Besides the corolla I think this is probs the best compact in it's class. The mazda 3 holds it's own for a bit but rusts. The ford focus and Chevy cobalt don't even come close.

Other than the 1.8 cracking block issue like the one I am lucky to own.

Breh, I like the concept of your channel Bruh

Honda & Toyota ❤

I love my plebeian 😂😂😂 8th gen civic 🪙

I like them all not just the one I have

Excellent! Could you do an 8th gen Accord LX/LX-P/SE 4 cyl?
