The new Honda Civic 2006 model
The 2006 Honda Civic sedan is a technological showpiece, and is probably one of the most advanced cars available today. OK, perhaps that’s a bit of an exaggeration! If you’ve been keeping up with the latest car reviews, the praise the new 2006 Honda Civics have been getting would lead you to think that it is indeed some kind of engineering breakthrough. The 2006 Honda Civic may not actually be the most advanced car on the planet, but in its price range it is one of the most practical, and like all Hondas will certainly be one of the most reliable.
I’ve been driving a Honda Civic for many years now, and I’m fiercely loyal to Honda engineering. My 1992 Honda Civic has over 200K miles on it, and its only had two problems that required serious maintenance. It’s also been in a serious accident, but it shows no obvious signs of its age or experience today. However, I am probably going to pick up a new one soon, but mostly just because I’m tired of the crappy metallic teal colour I for some reason thought looked cool at the time, and because the stereo system is hopelessly outdated. Also, I’m interested in getting one of those modern sattelite navigation systems (SATNAV) available with the 2006 edition of the Honda Civic.
So, what’s new with the 2006 Honda Civic and why is it winning so much universal praise amongst motoring journalists? The first you will notice is they gave the car another makeover. Sort of like the makeover they gave the ’92 model, going from the previous box look to the sleeker model, the ’06 model is another leap forward towards a sleeker, futuristic, and dynamic design. I have to admit, the 2006 Honda Civic sedan is much more attractive than the old models.
The 2006 Honda Civic range has gotten a boost to performance as well. The 2006 Honda Civic sedan now has a 140 horsepower 1.8 litre i-VTEC engine with a Drive-by-Wire Throttle System, giving it more poke than ever. It is also even more fuel efficient than any of the previous Honda Civics, capable of an incredible 40 MPG on motorwaysways, and 30 MPG in town. The fuel efficiency alone is a good reason to look into buying a 2006 Honda Civic, but they are also low emission vehicles which in some countries means less taxes.
As you can tell, I’m pretty much sold on the 2006 Honda Civic, and will probably continue to drive Honda’s for some time to come. They’ve proven to be extremely reliable, efficient, and fun little cars, and are actually extremely affordable for families on a budget also.
