Review 2009 Honda Civic LX

WRITER
The 2009 Honda Civic LX 2DR Coupe is one of the most gas efficient cars on the market today. The popularity of the Civic had grown every year. The Edmunds car review states that the Civic has received a 9 out of 10 in consumer reviews. The Civic today has gone through series of body style upgrades. Once a box style vehicle, however, now a slim aerodynamic and sporty vehicle. The Civic offers smooth driving and a sporty design. You can clearly see why the Civic is popular among many people.

The Civic is equipped with a 4 cylinder 1.8 liter engine for maximum fuel efficiency. The 140 H.P. engine is great for economic everyday driving. The engine's max H.P. at 6300 RPM and has a torque of 128FT-LBS. That is enough power to drive your kids or friends around and haul a little extra luggage without a problem.The Civic has a 13.2 gallon gas tank. It produces a gas mileage of 26 MPH in the city and 36 MPH in the highway. You can get an average of 396 miles to a full tank. With fuel cost averaging above $4.00 a gallon it will only cost you $52.00 to fill up. I would say that is incredible.

With seating for 5, your family will not feel left out when your about to hit the road. The Civic comes with many standard features. Power windows and power locks for convenient driving. Tire pressure and low fuel warning signal for peace of mind driving. Many other features includes, cruise control, cup holders, power steering, remote trunk release, remote power locks, AM/FM CD player, and 6 speakers.

Safety is the biggest concern to most drivers. The Civic is equipped with state of the art passenger and driver air bags, passenger head restraint whiplash protection system, 4-wheel ABS, and remote anti-theft alarm system. What more can we ask for here?

Do not be worried about your vehicles protection after purchase. The Civic comes with a 3 year or 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. Then to ease your mind some more Honda has added a 5 year 60,000 mile drive train warranty. Everything that is not wear and tear is serviceable for the first 36,000 miles. Most components from engine, transmission, and drive shaft are included from the drive train warranty.

The Honda Civic LX is available for a very affordable price. Most models start at $16,166.00 with the basic options mentioned in this article. You are able to upgrade the features for an additional price. Wow, all this features and great gas mileage for under $20,000. That is why the Honda Civic is the way to go.

    I used to own a Honda and liked it but I'm partial to the Saab I drive now. I just wish it got the gas mileage the Honda did!

    I had a 2002 two door honda civic for 9 months until my youngest son totalled it :( It was honestly one of the best cars I've ever owned. I then purchased a 4 door accord. While not as sporty or as fun to drive, it was totally uncool but totally reliable! A friend rec ently purchased the new honda sports coupe and loves it! dynamic!!

    Great review. I'd love to get a smaller, more gas-efficient car, but I live in the mountains and it would be tough to get around here without a 4WD.

    Very thourough review. I have an '02 Civic it gets better gas mileage than a brand new Honda fit which is billed as being better on gas. Mileage on the sticker can be misleading,
