2006 Civic Pictures

Sedan looks like a Saturn.

That's the first thing I was thinking. It looks like a ion Saturn car.

Sounds like the Civic SI will be a replacement for the Prelude -- 6 spd and

They have ruined what was a very decent looking compact sedan. Actually, a Saturn Ion looks BETTER than the 2006 Civic sedan. And the Chevy Cobalt sedan looks better than either one of them. I'd be suspect of the Cobalt's downstream reliability though.

Oh yeah. It's STILL a GM product. Not as bad as Ford, but close.

My #2 son bought a Cobalt a few months ago (not his first choice, but he could get a better price on a Chevy than on anything else and money was tight) so we shall see. At 5K miles there are a few things to fix under warranty, including a clunk in the steering. Hmm.

It is probably a minor lubrication issue. Stick with the car and you will enjoy it. Civics have their share of problems: anemic engine performance, outdated styling, overstated gas mileage unless you drive like grandpa and astronomical insurance in many places.

They can't do better than that ?! The Civic is in major need of a good overhaul of design. It does not need a look Saturn and Acura came up with some years ago. By the way, are they addressing the underpowered

A year has made a lot of changes. GM tops industry reliability now. Best built cars include Buick, Malibu, Cadillac. I am not sure if Honda models made the top 10.

Acura is Honda by the way. Is a 200HP 1.8 Litre, non turbo 4 cylinder good enough for you?

And I'm not sure what your smoking but the base civic currently has 115HP, not 85, and next year the base will have 140HP

Civic is not an Acura ($30K+++). The base does come in at only 115 hp, which is still far below the competition typically at 150-200 hp.

Funny, my 98 civic with 106 BHp with 140000 miles on it smokes the s*it out of the 'powerful' 2.2 and 2.4 liter cavaliers. And the neons don't even bother trying, they know they suck.

Have you even driven a Honda? If so, do you know how to drive? Its called a

And yes, Acura is a higher end branded honda. Maybe try reading a book sometime.
