2008 Honda Civic LX

Buyers looking for a good deal in Honda engineering for the model year 2008 might consider a 2008 Honda Civic LX. This "compact" car is a step up from the base model DX trim for the Civic. The Civic LX comes with more of the features this Japanese maker offers on a car, often available in both sedan an coupe styles, that has been popular on the American market.

The 2008 Civic LX comes with the same 1.8-Liter 16-Valve SOHC i-VTEC engine as the DX and EX models. This block delivers 140 Horsepower (HP) and gets an estimated 26 miles per gallon in city and 34 mpg in highway driving with the standard 5-speed manual transmission. A 5-speed automatic transmission is also available for this model.

The 2008 Honda Civic LX has the competitive safety features standard on the Honda Civic: from dual-stage dual-threshold front airbags, to anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure monitoring system, Civic LX drivers will enjoy modern technology for helping to prevent accidents or minimize the effects of a crash.

A lot more of what's standard on the LX adds to the basic DX package. Additional features for the LX include air conditioning, steering wheel mounted cruise control, power doors and full power windows, and more. Audio in the LX is a 160-Watt AM/FM/CD Audio System with 6 Speakers with MP3 capability, a speed sensitive volume control, and more for great sound on a drive. 16" wheels carry this car.

Overall, the 2008 Honda Civic LX gives a buyer a decent mid-range trim package for the model year. Look for it at your local used car dealer.
