Other Choices:

The Mazda3 has a reputation for the best handling in this class, and it offers a turbocharged Mazdaspeed3 edition as well. The Toyota Corolla is new for the 2009 model year and gets more refined and more expensive, though base versions can have a plasticky interior. The Ford Focus was restyled for the 2008 model year, and while most reviewers think it's a step backward, the Focus has new features like Ford's SYNC entertainment and hands-free phone controller.

  1. Repeat owner

    By Dennis Conniff | Posted: Jun 23rd 2008, 06:43:19 PM

    My wife just got a new Civic 4-door LX automatic and got 38 mpg out of her first tank which was a combination of rural and highway driving. The car is super in every respect with a couple of exceptions, one major. The 'on-center' feel is dreadful and requires constant correction to keep the car straight. Very tedius on the highway and not typical of any of the other 20 Hondas we've owned. Also, the cruise control and dash light brightness controls are hard to see (use) at night. A bit of hi-tech overrunning practicality which is typical of the Japanese nameplates.
    A generally fine car with impeccable quality but it leaves much to be desired in terms of driving pleasure and comfort due to the squirrely steering feel on straight roads.

  2. HONDA HAVE ANOTHER FACE

    I bought this car in Honda of Oakland, it's really badly services of Honda in the world, I could not believe honda is the best car that I have ever believed before having such as a bad sale services. I hope you guys whoever read this review not to come to this dealer to buy anymore car if they are not changing anything, cause I got it in branch new, and I bring it back to put in the leather seat as in my contract, when I came to pick up the car, there was a scratch and they broke my lovely car, it made me so disapointed. I hurt my feeling a lot, they said they just only fix it for me, and I have to take the car out of their dealer immediately if not they will give me a ticket for towing my car and pay for parking, I don't want to look at Honda anymore, such a bad service that I ever got.
