Honda Civic - 2007 Review

Last year my husband traded in his 2003 CRV for a 2007 Honda Civic.  What enticed him most about this car was the gas mileage.  A full tank got him about 400 miles.  That's pretty good.  The car is typical Honda; 4Cylinder, reliable, excellent safety features and loads of standard features.  The car is actually fun to drive and handles exceptionally well.  The car can get a little pricey if you upgrade.  If you don't have any passengers the car actually has a little pep getting on the highway.  Loaded is a completely different story.  The slightly raised, lighted, digital dash looks very cool especially at night.  The front has limited leg room.  My husband is 6'2" and was cramped.  I am a foot shorter and was comfortable.  My 9 year old son would ride in the back and he was cramped terribly.  No rear leg room whatsoever.  Grocery shopping with this car was hard...the trunk capacity is limited and small and you would have to load the backseat to make everything fit.  Weekend getaways were close to impossible because it's so small. This car is great if you don't have a family.  My husband kept it about 6 months and then traded it in for something larger.
