[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you so much😎

[@MotorVelocity]

I love the older Honda generations POV drives! Keep it comng!!!

[@DMCarReviews]

Thank you! Will do.

8th and 9th gen civics and si’s are my favorite automatic and manual great cars

[@DodgeDakota2004]

wouldnt be a bad first car or a grocery getter

[@XObimmer]

I had this car back in highschool

[@DMCarReviews]

Nice!

[@ameerskater]

I love these little Hondas

[@KennethKeuffel]

Nice job staying in between the lines

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I always respect those who continue to drive these 8th generation Civics 👍👍 they still look great. The steering wheel in this one is weird to me. The wheel they used for 2010-2011 is a much better. And it’s nice how this Civic is super responsive from the 5-speed automatic to the throttle to the steering. And I agree, Honda vehicles, you can have fun in but still be below the speed limit. They don’t put that much torque in their engines for a reason 👍👍

[@DMCarReviews]

Great balance for safe driving!

my dad had an 08 civic hybrid. he had it 2 years and got it for free with 150,000 miles on it (from his boss). and sold i it just a few weeks ago for an 04 BMW. i said good luck. even tho i do like the 6 cylinders they have.

[@DMCarReviews]

Nice! The inline 6 is the best.

[@dannyp9090]

I have a 2015 Civic but it has a CVT transmission. It's been great, I wish I could upgrade in the future to a new Honda.

[@Blank00]

The hatch is where it’s at, especially if you can get the LX trim before the 2025 where the LX is sedan only

[@earfwerm]

They all have CVT now unless you get manual transmission. They’re solid though, just stick to recommended fluid changes

[@buddylucas_8208]

Thanks for the honest review. I want to add that I have a civic 2007 myself, a Latin American spec, my ex has sport mode, and paddle shifters, and it’s lighter and has the FD1 engine and transmission from Japan, however she has not a governor that restrict the car to a certain speed, my car has hit 142 mph on a good gps, that’s all she can have, good car and a good sound! The 0 to 60 the max I got was on the 9 and 10 seconds, low mileage, depends on the surface and another things :) also I want to add that my civic has some Acura CSX quirks and features! Very good and strange version I have, also I want to add that the manual one, depending on the mileage and good service story, the 0 to 60 is up to 8.8 seconds! With paddle shifters maybe 9.2, but that’s kinda it. Not sure if anyone has made a better time than that, I researched a lot of this topic and different versions of the civic around the globe. My Brazilian civic is the best lol, no governor

[@DMCarReviews]

That's awesome. Thank you for sharing!

Hi, I'm Jaiyanand from India Watched your both corolla and civic Pov Overall which is best the 06 corolla or 06 civic both 1.8 I'm planning to buy one used as a second car I'm now using jeep compass manual, the reason I'm buying is i need an automatic for city traffic please suggest a better one between these two cars.

[@DMCarReviews]

If it's an 06 Corolla vs 06 Civic, I'd take the Corolla. If it's an 07 Civic, I'd take the Civic.

11:07 I feel the same way about the older XC90’s with the 3.2l I6. It only has about 245 horsepower and has a 0-60 in 8-8.5-8.7 seconds but it’s fun to hear the engine when getting on it. I’d love to drive an XC70 with one or perhaps the T6 engine which sounds similar but is faster.

[@basslover352]

You should try an 8th gen si. Even better handling/braking.

[@DMCarReviews]

I think I have a test drive of that one! It a few years back

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

The 8th gen Civic SI with that high revving 2.0L K20 VTEC engine was heaven. 8000 RPM in that thing was perfection.

[@jaylon.macedo]

Hey can you review another maxima or Altima with a v6

[@DMCarReviews]

Sure! I'd be curious to review an Altima V6.

[@Fade2005]

Request: 2006-2010 Kia optima

[@DMCarReviews]

I'm sure I could make that happen sometime!

[@crosstythecrab3740]

Do a 3rd gen 4Runner if you can find one, please.

[@DMCarReviews]

Sure!

[@Mr.BOxEr18]

How much would one of these be nowadays?

[@DMCarReviews]

Like 5-7k

[@Batchat2352]

Got a 2009 ak 70k miles. It has a small spoiler and a more style front end and back. Got it for 6k canadian$. Ac needs fixing and the front end is a bit messed up, has a black bumper, engine and transmission are all good but for me and my friend who drives a mustang the throttle is very direct and harsh. Like the thing wants to go. Im very cautious how i drive best i was conftable doing is half throttle even then i feel like ima break something lol. A few days ago my right corner wheel liner flew off appaerently. I though i hit a massive hole in the highway but looks like the liner was poorly mounted... the guys who worked on this car prior of me getting it did a pitiful job at it

[@DMCarReviews]

That sucks! I am sorry to hear that. The Civic is very fun for sure.

[@samwh4775]

I just did a draggy run in my little brothers old 2009 Mazda 3 with 270k km’s almost 170k miles and it did 9.2s tbh it’s not that good but for the mileage and how old and basic the car is, it’s fine and tbh while driving the car inside the city it feels effortless, on the highway, it’s so dang slow it literally needs to be at redline to pass anyone decently quickly 😂

[@DMCarReviews]

I've had no issue with making any maneuvers at highway speeds.

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

Could you review a Volvo xc90 with the V8 engine if you find any?

[@DMCarReviews]

Sure

[@joyroc885]

I still think the late 90s and early 2000 looked the best but this one isn't bad. I hear the 1.8 engine was known to crack.

[@DMCarReviews]

They are really cool cars!

[@Batchat2352]

Are you legit flooring it completely? Half throttle and im already scared

[@DMCarReviews]

In certain parts of the video, including the 0-60 tests, I was at full throttle.

[@supersmash6058]

The first car I learned to drive in 2018, got totaled in 2023

[@DMCarReviews]

I am sorry to hear that! Glad you're ok.

[@supersmash6058]

@DMCarReviews thanks, plus it was my mom and dad's car. Back when my dad's 07 accord was not drivable, he took the civic to work. Some time in 2023 he got into an accident, good news my dad is OK, tragic news the civic got wrecked. But hey at least we finally upgraded to a 2023 subaru forester base model, along with selling the accord to

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

I know I’m making a lot of comments but this car seems like it’d be fun to drive despite being slower, I wouldn’t mind having one as my first car. Looking at anything from Toyota, Honda or Volvo as my first.

Volvo is a great one!
