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metallic teal colour I for some reason thought looked cool at the time, and because the stereo system is hopelessly outdated.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.
