The 2006 to 2010 Honda Civic is a popular model that offers outstanding resale value thanks to its flawless repair and reliability history. The build quality is solid, with no cheap plastics in the interior that rattle and squeak. There's a lot to like about the Civic.

The DX trim comes with power windows, a height-adjustable steering column, and driver's seat, along with anti-lock brakes. Moving up to the LX trim, you'll get power locks, power mirrors, AC, and cruise control by 2009. The top-of-the-line EXL offers leather seating, optional voice-activated navigation, Bluetooth connectivity, electronic stability control, and a power sunroof.

Unfortunately, there's no name-brand audio system available with the Civic. However, Honda has freshened up their lineup with new front and rear end designs, new wheels, and an upgraded interior. Previous owners have had little to complain about, praising the civic's reliability. Although a few models from this generation did suffer cracked engine blocks, Honda extended the warranty to 8 years with no mileage restriction.

The DX, LX, and EX trims all come with 14.4 horsepower 1.8L engines. The sporty SI trim has a 197 horsepower 2.0L engine. The standard Civic transmission is a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic, but the SI trim only comes in a six-speed manual.

The Civic gets an EPA mileage rating of 26 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway with the automatic. If you really want to go for the best fuel economy, get the Civic Hybrid, which runs on a 1.3L inline-4 working with an electric motor sent through a continuously variable transmission. It gets 40 mpg in the city and 43 mpg on the highway.

The Civic gets a five-star crash test rating from the NHTSA in the frontal and rear passenger side impact crash test, four stars in the driver-side impact test. The 2006 to 2010 Honda Civics are covered by a 5-year/60,000 Mi powertrain warranty. Honda even offers a certified pre-owned program for 2006 and newer cars that will extend the warranty to 7 years and 100,000 Mi from the already existing warranty.

If you're looking for a desirable Civic, consider an EX or EXL with late low mileage. It offers a nice interior plus additional electronic safety control and navigation, which is a favorite. For more performance, go with the SI model, as it offers all the same features of the EX for less.
