160 miles per day?

The new Civic is a great car. If you commute 160 miles a day, you should definitely consider a Hybrid car, given the high price of gasoline lately.

Try checking out the reviews at http://www.cars.com. They may have the ratings for the 2006 civic from JD Powertrends and Associates, rating the complaint factor for the Civic. However, considering how long the civic has been around and that Honda actually does listen to it's customers when they complain, it's likely to be a decent car.

Any Honda car is a great buy. I own a 99 Accord an I love that thing!! I would have bought a civic, but I needed the extra room for the kids. If I were you, I would seriously look at the hybrid Civic.... especially if you are driving 160 a day. They may not have any in stock and you might have to wait. But both the hybrid and non-hybrid versions are spectacular, dependable, long lasting, comfortable, cheap (relatively), and if you are into customizing... there are endless custom parts and accessories for civics...

I love my Hybrid, but you have to get it for the right reasons. If you drive alot you will save money, but if you have a lead foot, get the regular model. The redesign is excellent on both! Very comfortable.

One thing - 2006 Motor Trend Magazine's Car of the Year. Enough Said.

I would buy a scooter if I drove 160 miles a day. People can laugh at me but I'd laugh back at the pump

I have a 2006 Civic Coupe...i commute 100 miles a day and the drive is good cept the constant oil changes but that's with any car

yea a few bad things.. go to yahoo's autos and search and read reviews. i've left two in there. "hate it, but love it". But it depends on the vehicle. i got mine a few weeks after it rolled off the line in Oct.
