Well, I'm a new civic owner. Never had a Honda before. Wanted one since I saw the 06. I'm still driving my 99 ford escort to work with 218,000 miles on it. I have a 45 mile commute to work. Kept telling the wife that we needed to look into another car in case mine started to really act up. Told her about the Honda Civic and she started giving me trouble about the cost. So last weekend we started looking at the Toyota Yaris. Here in Ohio we couldn't get the side curtain air bags we wanted and the car reminded her of my escort. So we went to the Honda dealer to look at the civic. Well as soon as she sat in the civic she looked at me and told me how much she liked the car and we hadn't even started the engine to take a test drive. All the dealer had on the lot was one 06 in silver and we wanted a blue one. So we came back on Monday and they just got a 2007 atomic blue one on the lot. It went home with us that night. I don't plan on modding the car as I need all the mpg's I can get not performance. That is what led me to look at the civics in the first place. So far all I can say about the car is that I absolutely love it. It is the coolest compact car I've ever owned.

intakes will give u better mpg congrats on the car though i want one too but outta my price range

 

07 are out already?? where have i been.
Yeah actually some mods that you can do to the car will actually increase the mpg (just as long as you stay of the throttle)

 

Hey whats up guys...I also just purchased my first honda last night, an 07 black civic sedan ex, and I love it. Boudreau, I have a question for ya. Just curious how much they took off the sticker price. I was shopping for a while and everywhere I went they barely dropped below it. I ended up dropping it from 19500 to 18500, that was by far the best I could do. I have purchased other new vehicles before and could talk them down at least 2-3 thousand off the sticker...

 

JimmyClone: Here in NE Ohio we are paying sticker price. There are several dealers in the Akron area that actually have tagged more on top of sticker and they are getting it right now. The cars are basically selling strait off the trucks if you want a color of some sorts. Silvers seem to be on lots but the Atomic Blue is one that is actually hard to get. I am still happy with the car even though I paid sticker.

I'll be looking into the mods I can make to improve my MPG results. I am 40 years old and have learned to stay off the gas pedal. Those days are long gone for me as I have to keep feeding the car gas. I've also been impressed with alot of the pics I've seen of people's civics that they modded. Great to be a civic owner.
