2006 Honda Civic Si Coupe mpg, gas mileage, specs , price review


Teen sex-oriented attraction added a redesigned 2006 Honda Civic lines, but not for everyone. There has never been.

Stand apart from other citizenship. This is a bad boy that the line of Honda, one for boys (or girls) drivers. Mostly for transporting as much as for driving a kick.

The first arrived in America in the Civic as a small car, fuel-stingy in the early 1970s, just in time to cash in on the first major American petrol crisis. Car Honda helped build a reputation here, and about 7 million have been sold in the United States.

The Debut of the country then, in 1985. This was soon snapped up by those who want a fast car, fast, affordable, economically viable and reliable which is fun to drive. This can be easily modified to develop more power and thus has endeared himself to the crowd "fast and furious".

Best yet
Recently released is the best, partly because the benefits of the major changes made for the eighth generation Civic, revamped in 2006. Civic 2001-05 is too conservative, but new ones have a leaner style, upgraded interior, revised suspension and more power.

The front-wheel-drive coupe sold only as a two-door valiant with manual transmission. Civic Positions are offered with a manual transmission or automatic and more conservative-looking for coupe or sedan or as a gasoline-electric hybrid sedan.

In fact, in 2006, the Civic offers more than 148 model, trim, options and combinations of colors; more than ever. Civil price ranges from $ 22.240 to $ 14,483.

The base list at $ 20.290, while The performance tire is $ 20.490. Select the navigation system and XM satellite radio and it was $ 22.040. The highest cost comes in at $ 22.240 with XM satellite radio, navigation systems and performance tires.

Equipped
High quality has many items of comfort and convenience, including the roof of the power. Security standard items including front seat side airbags and side-curtain airbags.

Other nationality outpowers easy. 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine horsepower kicks 197, 57 more than the usual Civic 1.8-liter gasoline. New also has 37 horsepower more than the machine.

This shift is often necessary
Sophisticated machine, with double overhead camshaft and variable valve timing. This encourages Si from 0 to 60 mph in 6.8 seconds and allows quick incorporation and passing. But the call for high revs the engine-and shift-for best performance.

Estimated fuel economy for the city was 22 and 31 mpg on the highway. Premium fuel required.

The new Gearbox
Last year it has a 5-speed manual transmission, but a new short throw 6-speed manual gearbox. However, the clutch springy feel more confident.

Wheelbase 104,3 inches is better for a ride and handling, of 101,2 inches for 2005 Si.

New 9.1 inches longer overall 174,8 inches and 2.2 inches wider and lower 3.2 inches. This is more severe, but not enough to affect performance much with extra horsepower and torque.

The new Drive, has, and year hatchback coupe Si and the new version not only handled a lot better-make model year 2005 looks and feels more than a year.

 Sports car handling
Quick steering and handling almost-in-class sports car, thanks in part to limited-slip front differential Helix which improves acceleration and cornering performance.

Standard anti-lock disc brakes, all of which provide impressive braking power, either with pedal feel. However, while travel the road is rough, uneven pliable sometimes cause choppy.

Take a look at the
The look, with "Sports Grill," rear spoiler, aerodynamic body kelongsong, special badging, sport exhaust tip and-most importantly-a 17-inch alloy wheels with broad tyres 45-series.

Quiet, this exclusive interior have been heavily-reinforced seat to ride fast, stitching scarlet and unique trim panel.

There is a large, high-set digital speedometer as the driver out of sight behind a large, sharp glass scratch, but rather out of place in a high-performance cars and not go with conventional analog tachometer.

Most of the controls can be easily accomplished. Front Cupholders and a number of good interior storage space. Front seat belt, though, it is difficult to achieve before tied.

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan mpg, gas mileage , review for user

2008 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan 
(1.3L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)



Reviews
I puchased this unit is used, recently in excellent condition. ($ 13 k, 44 k miles). Hybrids are definitely different types of cats. They pushed a bit different, though I like driving dynamics far better than the Prius. (Brake looked "grabby" and the steering is not suitable; HCH has a telescopic and tilt steering wheel allows more aggressive position). I found the car should be a lot of numbers for acceleration. Handling and braking are very good in my opinion. The car felt sporty. Hybrid system is a bit annoying, and do some weird things (battery suddenly "dumped" at times, MPG drop in cold weather). This trip was a bit stiff, bordering on poor hard pavement.


Favorite features
Excellent gas mileage in the city. With an ordinary car tires set at 40 psi, I get about 35 mpg in the warmer weather (above 45 degrees) in most urban stop and go traffic. The system clearly does not like cold weather such as MPG drops to 20's under 30 degrees or more. I like the instrument column. Seats in the back of the truck is also feasible and fairly large. If your battery charge drops you can draw, put in park and rev up to 2500 + and the battery will quickly fill in a few minutes. The best car for the moderate climate with rolling flat terrain (the Colorado mountains will likely be a problem). Gently on the resale of vehicles vs. Prius and good value IMHO.


Suggested remedies
Hybrid charging a bit annoying and can lead to accidents. Should police itself. Audio speakers are embarrassing. I've seen bigger magnet Fisher Price branded products. I replace the front and rear speakers for around $ 100 and 3 or 4 hours of my time, but it should come with speakers worth considering that the HCH prices in the mid 20s initially. Suspension seats few companies and maybe a little softer (although maybe it's to maximize the MPG). Automatically cease to be a real hassle in parking situations. Needs a button to switch off during the maneuver. Lots of traffic on a battery failure on the internet and this site. No problems so far.
