Because nobody thinks of this in any way but some Honda engineer back in good ol' Japan.

Those rear seats are brilliant!

I drove this Civic model for about 10 years. I never paid anything but regular service, not once. Only the following were changed: light bulbs, oil, tires, filters. The first was a Civic 2008 1.4 VTEC, I drove it for a couple of years and replaced it with the same model, the same color, only 2011 and 1.8 VTEC .. The engine is the only thing missing from that 1.4 model .. I switched to SUV for practical reasons because I was tired of just looking at the holes in the road: D According to Honda, I have deep respect, especially for this 2005-2011 Civic model. I enjoyed driving that car so much, literally the only car you can buy for "little money" and have a real sports car. Acceleration in first / second gear with the sound of a 1.8 VTEC engine is invaluable. The most interesting thing for me was to "run in" from a side street on the main road in front of someone. (Within safe limits of course) I don't think anyone in front when I "flew in" even managed to squeeze the brake, I think it was more in their heads - Jbt this car has rocket propulsion. : D In the first gear, it goes up to 60, even 70 km / h, within a few seconds. Really priceless feeling. Stability is equal to a karting car, it never "betrayed" me in 10 years. Braking, ie. the braking path surprised and saved me a couple of times, it brakes like a cat, believe me. Just don't skimp on pimples. There are places inside for everyone, it's spacious, the trunk is huge, I don't believe that any car in that class has that. I'm telling you, the only "flaw" is a very very hard sports suspension, which is to be expected because this is a very very good sports car: D Rating 10/10, you won't go wrong.

The honda civic is actually my dream car

The Civic's just awesome. I'm hoping to buy one pretty soon.

Nice, you shouldn't get the clutch issue with that reg like I did.

Awsome car to own, still looks stunning, and still puts a grin on my face. I have the 2011 1.8 VXI Automatic and hardly any trouble with it. Only issue ever experienced was the faulty USB port on the radio that bombed out just after the warranty expired - i never bothered fixing it, I just use the AUX line directly into my ipod now. The review is correct in that it does have a firm ride and poor rear visibability, but those are easy to live with compared to what the rest of the package offers. Cargo space is huge, I manage to fit more cargo into this than my Jeep Cherokee I had before this. The automatic gearbox is perfectly matched with the 1.8l engine and is smooth and responsive. I highly recomend this car.

I have on and it's still very modern...never had any problems...much better than todays cars...the engine is great👌

Very futuristic looking. To my none car friends when they see it on the road they think it's one of the newest ones when it's not!

owning one of these Civics, a 2.2 ICTDI, i can assure you that the spoiler in the rear window has not once been in my way of seeing things out of the back. the crashy ride can be fixed by fitting Eibach progressive springs which makes it much more comfy

Have and love this car, has only 100,000 miles and runs like a dream! Super reliable and honestly so much fun to drive around.

The bumping and crashing from that Civic on the rural A roads of Somerset. The Peugeot just kind of acknowledged they were there, but not a problem. I rather concluded, that after all the years that have passed, the French are the people that know how to make cars that can both handle, and ride well. My current 2006 Yaris Mk2 is like that Civic.
