2006 Honda Civic DX

The 2006 Honda Civic DX is a basic package for this popular small car. This car was redesigned for the 2006 model year, where the auto maker began to offer a North American sedan or coupe model, and a 5-door model for the European market. Civic DX buyers get fewer features than with the LX, EX and other trims where Honda offers more extras for comfort and convenience. However, the spare design of the Civic DX adds up to low MSRP.

All 2006 Civic DX, EX and LX models ship with a 16-Valve SOHC i-VTEC engine that delivers 140 Horsepower (HP). For the 2006 DX, Honda estimates an astonishing 30 miles per gallon in city and 38 mpg in highway driving - that's with a manual transmission option, where the automatic adds 2 MPG to highway rides. This MPG is significantly higher than the estimate for the next year's Civic.

Those who decide on a Honda Civic DX will have to forgo some of the amenities other car drivers love—for example, the DX rolls off of the line without air conditioning or an audio system. However, DX buyers can still enjoy safety features standard on the Honda Civic. From anti-lock brakes to dual stage dual threshold front airbags, Civic DX buyers can profit from the best Honda has to offer in safety for the 2007 model year, as well as other items like Daytime Running Lights, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and an emergency trunk opener. The DX owner also gets some convenience features on the vehicle.

For price conscious Honda buyers, the 2006 Civic DX can be a great bargain for fuel economy and sticker price savings.
