2006 HONDA CIVIC

2006 HONDA CIVIC!❗️🗣️

I bought this exact car (minus the fog lamps) brand new back in 06, I drove it daily for 6 years and it was an EXCELLENT car, I never had one single mechanical issue in all the years I owned it. Anyone who is thinking of buying one is making a great choice. I now own a 2012 Si coupe but I still think this is the better looking car.

I own this exact car with 183,000 miles. Still runs great. Used to get 40mpg, now gets 31mpg. Decent acceleration with the 5speed. Most reliable car I've ever owned. Had it 8 years now

I'm watching this video in 2019 😅

9:30, nice time for the van to decide to switch lanes...

This was my first car, originally my dads. we had the automatic transmission and when we sold it, it had 189,000 miles on it and it was a great car. We had it for about 12 years and had little to no problems.

Lol what a tool that minivan driver was!

Excellent review, pointing out differences in models and personal opinions based on previous experience. You're a natural at this. You really did a great job!

We're glad you enjoyed it! The shifter in this car is pleasant and easy to shift :)

Thank you for the support, a Civic Si is def on the list!

8th gen definitely looks the best.

I was curious and checked to see what $18,810.00 in 2006 would have been in 2012 dollars adjusted for inflation. In 2012, it would have been $21,421.94.

This guy does the best reviews. I currently looking for a used car, and I check out his VW Rabbit review and it was just as good as this one. Good job!

Just got one yesterday and it drives so well and its so nice! Love it so far.

I been owning a Honda Civic 2006 Coupe EX automatic for almost 4 months and its a great car even tho its not manual.

Hands down greatest interior I've seen in a car. Better than current IMO

I got this same civic, now... in 2018, with 76k miles on it. Just graduated college, this will be my "go to work" vehicle. Its nice, but the sun visors are destroyed and has a motor leak, but ill make it work.

I love when I’m talking to my friend and then they just yell “2006 HONDA CIVIC!”

I love this civic.

My EX-L got leather s seats. Leather steering wheel. DVD radio with Nav system and bluetooth. Moonroof. Heated front seats. 7 speakers. I really love my coupe. I put the 2008 Si rims. Put fog lights with HID and HID lights in the headlights. I'm in love with my car

That 5-speed automatic is pretty fucking awesome one of the best shifting automatic transmissions I've ever driven and when you manually shift it it holds on to the rez longer and actually shifts quicker.. I'm about to get the 6-speed SI version of the 8th generation as soon as I find 1

Loudward tested loudward approved

yup, they sure did

Hey man thanks for this video. Also, good shifting, fast and crisp, you do a great job of connecting the gears together between your shift. There's not many people I can praise on RU-vid about their shifting, it is either too slow, or too sluggish. I think it is mandatory to see someone drive a manual car properly in order to reveal its true potential especially if one is interested in buying that car.

I have the LX coup 07, my car has 111k on it. and its still going strong. almost no repairs needed excpt for ac that gives out and breaks with oil changes. thats about it

I did a muffler and resonator delete on mine and I added a straight pipe and the K&N air filter the 1.8 liter just sounds so good this is the last of the true high-revving VTech Honda's even the coop could get the 7K

Awww my old car. Loved my Civic I miss it, it was my 1st car.. :(

The SI Coupe for the 8th generation had class leading handling right out of the box

started modding mine after 4 years. I can only recommend handling modifications (ie tires, suspension, sway bars, strut towers etc) the r18 was never meant to go fast.

Quarantine THINZZZZ

Please do a how to drive manual smoothly video. Your only guy I trust

This car sold for $9,888

Make sure if you buy an 8th gen civic like this you do your research, The Casting molding of the engine block cracks! Yup, Honda F'd up on this engine block...I read there is a secret warranty extended 10yrs from new car purchase date. Engine block cracks and leaks. You will need a complete engine swap. Be careful. HUGE Honda F' up on this. Look into it.. Great looking cars but ...

Best car ever made bought mine new in 2006 5spd coupe. Fast forward 2022 still my daily driver. I live in Southern Ontario so I get it oilsprayed every year. 415 000klm just like new

There are two trip computers on this coupe. Also, I've had my 2006 for 8 years (only owner), and get a minimum of 33 in the city, and 41 on long drives.

hmm, not really, they felt about the same. I may notice a difference on the highway when it comes time to pass though

I just bought an 06 with 180000 miles on it for $1,300 it's in pretty good condition 2 needs an O2 sensor replace I'm ecstatic I've owned nothing but Corollas but this is one sharp Civic

When are you reviewing the si sedan for this gen?

Just got one as my first car :')

Excellent review, I would have bought the 8th generation Civic EX-L Coupe 2010 or 2011 with Nav. if I could find one. But I learned my lesson on buying used, never again had too much trouble with my first car a 2000 Chevy Cavalier. The previous owner did not take care of the black paint finish, the rear frame rails were rusted out, transmission cable broke I could not shift out of park, and the coolant leaked out of the container. But I'm satisfied with what I bought.

I love my Coupe with a 5 speed. So much fun.

i didn’t want the video to end

My 06 Lx just hit 218k so far starter radiator and basic main... The best car I've ever owned... It likes 93 gas even tho it's 1.8 will do fine on reg the performance gain from using 93 shell octane is quite noticeable gains in response and General overall happiness of the car running is civics at least mine i does not like regular fuel.. another thing about this generation with the non SI r18 engine when it's cold outside put in a performance air filter and that is one of the biggest gains that you will get it blew my mind how much quicker is the car is when it's cold outside

Thanks for the vid. Pretty sure I'll be picking up an 06 Civic Sedan with the 5 speed manual for my first car. :)

9:19 that gave me anxiety

8:16 I used to have the same car (5 speed EG9 from 1992) and now I am looking to get the one you are reviewing. Man I love Honda.

I have a stock 2009 Honda Civic Si Sedan and I always wanted to see the EX version and see the similarities and differences between the EX and Si. The car sounds pretty similar to mine. Only real difference is hearing the Vtec crossover. Great review!

i got one off craigslist like new for 5k as my first car :)

Great review, and as thaik56 said, great shifting! My family just bought a 2009 honda civic sedan with the 5 speed and i practice with it every chance i get. You seem to have a lot of experience and i suggest for u to make a "how to drive stick" kind of video to show us manual transmission drivers how to drive it better and how to shift more smoothly. Thanks in advance! :)

I have a 2007 Civic sedan with the 5-speed manual. Great car and very fun to drive!

I wonder why my video about a 2006 Honda civic getting so popular 💀

Idk how many miles the car has on it but you said the engine sounds better/different than your sister's 2012. Honda engines tend to sound better/louder (depends on how you look at it) as they get older. Got a 96 accord and the engine sounds real throaty, but nothing's wrong with it (238k miles)

Going to look at the same type of car tomorrow!

I own 2 Honda Civics, an 03 EX 5 speed and a 2012 Si. I bought the '12 to replace the '03 but then decided to keep both!

I had bought a nightmare glitter black 2006 Civic Si coupe in 2017. 2.0l two leiter four cylinder i-VTECH, six speed manual. It was great. Yesterday, I bought a 2006 Honda Civic Ex coupe manual. Haven't driven it much yet, but what time I've spent behind the wheel has been great. It truly seems alot alike the Si. A bit less responsive acceleration

I love the R18 :D

Lives in va huh? Little river turnpike and braddock road... Cool review bro

the the hell is here in 2023 just because of the squidward meme

Getting this car in September. Can't wait!

How's the interior noise on the 8th gen Civics? I have a 2009 Civic Si and it's annoyingly noisy, especially on the highway.

This is the car I want to buy for college :/ but cant afford it lol Such a nice car!

The price actually decreased because 18 thousand in 2006 is equal to about 22 thousand now

I just got a 2006 ex manual as my first car

trip computer is at the right of the odometer with the temperature ;)

My dad had the 2006 Civic Sedan Manual DX that is where I learned how drive manual. He had it for 2 and a half years before trading it for a mid sized sedan (Mitsubishi Galant). Anyways, I just bought my 1st car yesterday and it is the 2007 Civic Coupe DX-G and man I already know the steering, suspension and feel is really different from the sedan. Lighter too

I like the 2012 coupe

just got an '09 ex-l w/nav 39,000 miles manual and def jumped at it lol. was thinking right along the lines of what you said around 9:20 and on.

I bought this car new in 2006 and still drive it every day. One problem is that it has terrible blind spots to the right and left of the windshield. If you go around a long curve at just the right angle a pedestrian or another car may just suddenly appear without warning, this happens often you should be conscious of it.

Nice Review Of 2006 Honda Civic Coupe. 😁

just got one lol my first car

I have a 8th gen cohoe 5-spd amazing car. Great look great mpg and great handling

somewhat, but thats typical for a 4cyl with a few miles on it

How does it drives in the snow?

What a well aged vehicle for a 2006

I wish my 2013 coupe was a manual, but I’ll never trade it in or get rid of it, despite the auto transmission version being a total slug. Even in the 9th gen the coupe was way nicer, the base model lx vs the sedan got better seats, tweeters up front in the a pillars to make the sound system better, better suspension and Better handling. Despite the EPS the steering still feels decent and it handles like a go kart.

Well it has 60 horsepower less, about 20 lb/ft less torque, softer suspension, smaller rims, no performance tires and about a 1.5-2 second slower 0-100km/h time. They're both fun to drive, it's a Honda trademark. The Si is too expensive for the money in my opinion. I definitely want one but not for the price of 26k.

Very nice review, thanks!

Great Review!!! Thumbs up!!!!!!! Definitely agree with the styling of this 8th gen compared to the current 9th gen. Way better rims here. Black suits this gen coupe better. R u sure the 8th gen handles better than the current 9th gen coupe? If thats the case, then its sad. Honda should be going ahead in every aspect, not backwards :P

I just love this review been saving for two years nd I'm going to hunt this car down

It handles better than the current Civic because it has a more expensive more complex suspension called double Wishbone

just right, while my Fit's is practically right off full release, this car is in the middle

I think you just helped m make up my mind. Success! lol

Sofyan you do a great job with your videos! I'm 17 years old and looking for my first car. I need a good car to practice driving stick shift and so far I'm stuck between a 07-08 Civic Si sedan and a 06 Acura TSX. I trust your opinion so which would you recommend?

found one for 5k $ 2006 ex looks mint 181km is it worth 5 k ?

how do you feel the visibility is for the front and rear bumpers? i drove an '08 coupe today and i feel the judgement was a little shaky. do you think it just comes with getting used to the car?

Does it have ac,my 06 civic dx.coupe qc not working, idk if it comes.with ac

do a civic si sedan 07-2011 those are nice btw good shit bro like the reviews

I'm looking into buying this vehicle within the next couple of weeks.. I just wish it came with rear wheel drive.

I thought mine was black ..now I'm reppin night hawk black pearl!!! Fuck yea good morning ladies!

Can't wait to buy one couple more months and ill have enough to be an owner of one

Is it reliable if bought with 200k miles?

Is there anything done to the interior or is it stock

Apparently a few of these Civics have suffered from cracked engine blocks. I'm picking up an 07 LX later this week, just wondering when you worked for Honda if this was a big issue?

hey i saw a few explorer's in the background are you going to do a review of one of them

Hi im thinking of getting this exact car color everything and in a stick but i dont really know because alot of people say these engines crack and some say it sucks gas but i really like this year model? Would this be a good first car?

That foot lever on the seat is for back seat passenger to get out. Weird how my RSX doesn't have one. Even my prelude had one mounted on the upper side portion of the seat.

How do you shift so well? I just can't seem to get my shifts smooth especially from 1st to second. I'm always jerking around.
