The 8th generation Honda Civic was first introduced in 2005. Until 2008, cars were supplied to Russia from Japan, that is, Japanese assembly, and since 2008, Turkish assembly.
Honda Civic has gained popularity thanks to its striking appearance, innate reliability and refined handling. The car was supplied to Russia in 4D and 5D versions, 4D being a 4-door sedan, and 5D being a hatchback.
There was also a sports version of the Type R, the peak of sales of which was in 2008; this version was supplied in a 3-door hatchback version and with a 2-liter engine.
This article will present all the details of the 2008 Honda Civic, technical specifications, owner reviews, equipment, photos and videos.
Friends, please use the content for convenience, enjoy reading!
As I already said, the 8th generation Honda Civic was released in 2006, the model was loved by Russian consumers, queues at dealers reached up to 1 year.
Consumers liked Honda's bold design and excellent technical characteristics at an adequate price. The sedan and hatchback differed from each other in appearance, suspension and interior, but the heart was common, it was a 1.8 liter engine with a capacity of 140 horsepower with an I-VTEC valve timing system.
The engine is indexed R18A, it replaced the reliable D series. R18A is simple in design and reliable; if you properly care for the car (properly service it with original fluids), the engine life will please the owners.
The Civic's engine is civilian, but with Honda's habits, the thrust is smooth up to 4000 rpm, after 4 it picks up up to 7000 rpm, the response of the gas pedal is lightning fast.
Honda Civic 2008 hatchback The Honda Civic unit was equipped with several gearboxes, the Civic 4D sedan had a manual 6-speed gearbox and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Civic 5D hatchback has a 6-speed manual transmission and a continuously variable transmission; starting in 2009, the CVT gave way to an automatic transmission; consumers preferred an automatic transmission.
The units are reliable, the manual transmission in particular, you just need to change the oil in the “box” once every 60,000 kilometers, and it will outlive the engine.
There is also a 1.4 liter engine, which was not officially supplied to Russia; it came with a 5-speed manual until 2008, then a 6-speed.
The chassis of the Honda Civic 4D and the hatchback 5D are different; the sedan, in keeping with the best Honda traditions, has a multi-link independent suspension, while the hatchback has a torsion beam (MacPherson strut).
The chassis is durable, the only thing is that at 30,000 kilometers the support bearings of the front struts need to be changed; they cost about 2 thousand rubles apiece (dealers replaced them under warranty).
Appearance and exterior
The 8th generation Honda Civic looks like a spaceship, this is already a hackneyed verdict on the appearance of the Civic among auto journalists, but the fact remains that its design is cosmic. And it doesn’t matter that it’s a 4d sedan or a 5d hatchback, they’re both cosmic.
The interior was designed by the same aliens (in a good sense of the word) as the exterior; a two-level dashboard with an electronic speedometer catches your eye.

Interior of Honda Civic 5D hatchback The landing position in the Civic is purely Honda, low and sporty, and the foot itself reaches for the gas pedal. You can sit in the back row, but no more, it’s still a C class.
Options
Honda Civic has 3 trim levels: 1.8 comfort MT, 1.8 Elegance MT, 1.8 Elegance AT and 1.8 Executive AT.
In the base, the car is equipped with an ABS system, ESP, air conditioning, an audio system, and 4 airbags; the Comfort package comes only with a manual transmission.
The next modification, Elegance, is distinguished by climate control, and the top-end Executive comes only with an automatic transmission and features a multi-wheel steering wheel, a CD changer and bi-xenon headlights.

The 8th generation Honda Civic 4D is very popular in the Russian secondary market. Manufacturers of the Japanese corporation Honda spent almost four years on its creation, resulting in the most memorable design, impeccable aerodynamics, excellent handling and reliable safety.
The resulting car perfectly combines the classic qualities of a sedan and sporting inclinations. For the Togos Belt (2006), a new futuristic exterior design, excellent aerodynamics and low seating created a new image of the car, which attracted with its freshness and elegance. The exterior design of the Civic 4D is a remarkable example of close collaboration between designers and engineers. The aerodynamics of almost every component are combined with the bold shapes and lines of the car's appearance. When working to improve the aerodynamic qualities of the car body, the corporation's specialists turned to engineers collaborating with Formula 1, who are experts in the field of air flow control. Following global safety standards, the developers used an innovative frontal impact energy distribution scheme and an aluminum beam on the rear bumper.
The broken lines of the headlights in combination with the updated bumper give the sedan a certain “predatory squint”, emphasized by an interestingly shaped radiator grille. Octagonal headlights are used as rear optics.
The overall dimensions of the sedan are quite impressive: 4545x1750x1435 (mm.). The wheelbase of the car is 2.7 m. The clearance at the initial release was 145mm, but subsequently manufacturers increased it to 150mm, which better adapted the car to domestic roads. But still, low ground clearance remains one of the main disadvantages of this Honda model. The car remains firmly attached to decent road surfaces.
Other shortcomings noted by owners of the eighth generation Civic 4D include instability of the paintwork, clouding of the headlight glasses and unstable operation of the wipers. Replacement of problematic optics is carried out by dealers under warranty. If the low beam lamps or side lights burn out, the fender liners must be removed to replace them.
Sometimes, after a long period of use of a car, soldering of the socket and lamp is observed in the brake light due to the close proximity of the lamp legs with a glass base.
Drivers of Civic 4D cars with significant mileage note problems with the ignition switch - the key stops turning. Since the lock is not removable, it is necessary to replace it with a set of keys, as well as with an immobilizer, followed by its registration by the dealership.
The creators of the Honda Civic 4D designed the interior with convenience and maximum comfort in mind. The car has an unusually flat floor, thanks to the fact that the exhaust system is located on the side of the car. An excellent driver's seat with a design solution in the form of pneumatic cells on the sides and in the lumbar area provides the necessary comfort for drivers of any size.
The main element of the sedan's interior is the dashboard, divided into two zones. All the information the driver needs while driving is displayed in a sector of the panel located in the area of his peripheral vision.
During the operation of the car, many drivers note an unpleasant creaking sound inside the cabin. This is mainly due to the fastening of the front panel and the glove compartment lid.
The manufacturer has made changes to the roof design against vibration, and additional sealing of the engine compartment with sound-insulating glass wool has been applied. New soundproofing material is used for the windshield.
The shortcomings include quickly wearing out brake and clutch pedal linings, as well as steering wheel braids, which reveal the age of the car.
The basic equipment of the Honda Civic 4D necessarily includes electric windows, heated seats, and an air conditioning system.
The front-wheel drive Honda Civic sedan is equipped with a powerful gasoline engine. 1.8l engine. i-VTEC (R18A), which is equipped with adjustable gas distribution phases. Thanks to this engine, a car with a manual transmission accelerates to 100 km. in just 9.1 s, with automatic transmission - in 10.6 s. The engine develops power up to 140 hp, demonstrating amazing efficiency: from 5.1 liters per 100 km on the highway to 9.9 liters. per 100 km. around town.
No serious problems with the motor have been identified over the years of operation, except that we can highlight some unreliability of the suspension belt tensioning mechanism, which explains the extraneous sounds on the right side of the motor. If not replaced in time, the roller will jam. Drivers sometimes notice a certain “tear” or rough operation of the engine. This most often occurs in engines that use high-viscosity oil (0w40, 5w40).
Slight vibration of the engine at idle is explained by a lack of battery voltage, which is completely discharged after 3.0 - 3.5 years of operation. Among other reasons, drivers note failure of the engine mount. It becomes unusable after a mileage of more than 60,000 km. You can replace it yourself or in a specialized center.
If you received a 2008 Civic manufactured in Turkey, the manufacturer recommends replacing the radiator to eliminate the possibility of leakage caused by road chemicals. Such replacement is carried out by dealerships under warranty.
An unpleasant moment is the leakage of the camshaft cover sealing ring, observed after a mileage of 60 - 80 thousand km. Explained by the “aging” of the material. With mileages exceeding 100,000 km, the crankshaft oil seal may leak, which will be replaced by car service specialists.
Oxygen sensors require replacement after 80,000 km. The catalyst has to be changed after 100,000 km, otherwise the “Check” indicator lights up, warning of a significant decrease in engine thrust.
The Civic 4D also did not have any particular problems with the transmission. Cars with a manual transmission after 50,000 km begin to shake noticeably in first and second gears when the clutch pedal is released. You can get rid of these manifestations by cleaning and lubricating the clutch fork or the splined shaft along which the release mechanism moves. The manual transmission clutch is quite reliable, functions perfectly up to 170,000 km, after which it is advisable to replace it.
In order to avoid the sometimes observed “shocks” when switching from second to third gear in an automatic transmission, it is necessary regularly, every 45,000 km. change oil.
Some owners of the Civic 4D note the weakness of the rear suspension, which sags under loads. Spring sagging occurs after a mileage of 80,000 km.
Sometimes you hear a characteristic “crunch” of the support bearings when turning the steering wheel. The reason is pollution. Eliminated by cleaning and lubricating with a silicone-based compound.
The “weak” point of the suspension is the supports of the front struts, which are held together when the steering wheel is turned. The steering rack begins to knock after a mileage of 30,000 km. The reason is wear of the right bushing. The bushing must be replaced.
From the listed shortcomings, or rather shortcomings of the Honda Civic 4D, we can conclude that the car is strong, and malfunctions are determined mainly by poor service or poor quality of roads.
As for servicing and repairing a car, it can be done either with your own hands, having a certain amount of knowledge and skills, or at dealership centers or reputable car services that use the manufacturer’s technology and original spare parts for servicing.
A selection of video reviews about the Honda Civic 4D:
Crash test Honda Civic 4D:
Humanity saw the first Civic in 1972. As a result of a long path of evolution, the two-door angular coupe with a 50-horsepower 1.2-liter engine by 2005 had turned into a technological miracle with streamlined shapes. This 8th generation Honda Civic was presented in Frankfurt. The car in 2012 gave way to subsequent generations. It should be noted that this model was equipped with sedan, hatchback (three or five doors) and coupe (US only) bodies, but we will be talking about four-door options.
The 2008 Honda Civic sedan differs not only from the hatchback in its shape, interior design and chassis design elements. There are differences even among bodies of the same type. Thus, the version of sedans for the USA had some minor external features that the “European” does not have. In general, the design successfully combined sporty agility and executive class features. It is this option that has become the most popular compared to the hatchback in the countries of the former USSR. This body shape gave the car not only a stylish look, but also good aerodynamic qualities.
The body is steel, but the Japanese designers made sure that in the event of a collision with a person, the entire front part would be crushed. Thus, they increased the degree of safety for pedestrians. In addition, it was assumed that in any accident, the hardware would take the impact in such a way that damage to the radiator and headlights would be minimal. By the way, as for optics, the eighth generation Civics were equipped with wide halogen headlights as standard.
The trunk turned out to be relatively small. The useful volume was only 389 liters. The Honda Civic 4d interior is designed for five people: two in front (passenger and driver) and three in the back.
Interior
Salon of Honda Civic 4D hybrid 2008 The inside of the cabin is trimmed with velor fabric and plastic as standard. However, leather and even a braided steering wheel are optionally available.
The seats are folding and equipped with adjustable headrests and lateral support. The interior is spacious and comfortable even for very tall people. The designers took care of additional comfort in the rear seats and placed the exhaust system on the side. Thanks to this, the floor became level.
According to driver reviews, the seat position is quite low. However, the review remains good. The position of the steering column itself is adjusted according to anthropometric parameters.
As for the dashboard, it had a somewhat futuristic design and was located immediately behind the steering wheel on two levels. At the lower level there was a mechanical round tachometer with a digital odometer. On either side of the tachometer there was a standard set of indicators. And on the top level there was a digital speedometer with turn indicators.
Dashboard Honda Civic 2008 The interior had a full power package, including heated seats and a heated rear window.
Options
The Honda Civic 4d sedan was produced in three versions: Comfort(basic), Elegance(improved) and Executive(luxury).
Included Comfort the buyer received:
- full interior electrical package, child seat mount;
- standard set of airbags (driver, front passenger, side);
- ABS, EBD, BAS, ESP, TCS;
- electric power steering;
- air conditioner;
- audio system with 4 speakers;
- immobilizer (anti-theft system);
- full-size spare tire;
- steel wheels size 15X6J with tires 195/65 R-15.
When it comes to safety, it is worth mentioning the pre-tensioning seat belts and head restraints, which not only add to the comfort of the passengers, but are also designed to prevent serious injury during an accident.
Equipment Elegance It differed from the basic one in a small number of additional options. For example, the ability to install an alarm and climate control.
Honda Civic 4 d version Executive was a much more “advanced” version. Unlike simpler configurations, this one included:
- automatic transmission only;
- aluminum wheels measuring 16X6.5J with 205/55 R-16;
- “foglights”, the ability to install “xenon”;
- turn signal repeaters mounted in the front mirrors;
- two additional speakers in the audio system. Ability to control music using buttons on the steering wheel;
- curtain pillows in addition to the standard set of pillows;
- Cruise control;
- factory installed alarm system.
In addition, at the owner’s request, a panoramic roof, parking sensors, and light and rain sensors were installed.
As you can see, this equipment was not only more complete, but also more stylish in appearance, and therefore more prestigious.
Specifications
The 2008 Honda Civic 4D was only front-wheel drive and was equipped with several options for a four-cylinder (sixteen valve) in-line engine, which was located in the front, transversely.
- Gasoline 83 hp. Volume 1.4 liters. Installed in combination with a manual transmission. Until 2008, it was five-speed. Later it was replaced with a six-speed.
- Gasoline 140 hp. Volume 1.8. The most massive unit. Cars were supplied to Russia only with this engine. It has one feature, which is that the catalyst, which is connected to the exhaust manifold, practically enters the cylinder head. This increases the risk of engine overheating if there are any problems with the cooling system.
- Gasoline 200 hp. Volume 2 liters;
- Turbo diesel. Volume 2.2 liters;
- Hybrid: 1.3 liter petrol plus a 20 hp electric motor. This option was produced only for Europe and was well known there.
All gasoline power units had distributed injection. The maximum speed guaranteed by the manufacturer for the sedan was 200, and for the hatchback – 210 km/h. At the same time, the car reached a hundred in 9.1 seconds if it came with a manual transmission and in 10.8 (10.9 for the hatchback) seconds with an automatic transmission. The hybrid engine turned out to be not so “spirited” and made it possible to reach the same speed in 12.1 seconds.
Fuel consumption in the combined cycle for sedans was 6.6 (6.7 with automatic transmission) liters, and for hatchbacks – 5.8 (6.3) liters. The hybrid “European” took only 4.6 liters of gasoline for the same hundred.
Regarding gearboxes, it is worth mentioning in addition that the Honda Civic 4d sedans supplied to the Russian market came with mechanical six-speed gearboxes or five-speed hydromechanical automatic transmissions.
Depending on the body, the chassis has its own characteristics. Unlike hatchbacks, which have an H-beam at the rear, sedans are equipped with fully independent suspension. The weakest link turned out to be the springs in the rear suspension, which poorly withstood the full load (the car sagged), which according to the passport is 1700 kg with the curb weight of the car being 1194 kg. This deficiency was corrected in 2010. And the most durable parts were the ball joints and stabilizer struts.
Price and where to buy
This Honda model was discontinued in 2012. Therefore, it is hardly possible to buy a completely new Civic in a showroom. But it is quite possible to purchase it through advertisements or in showrooms selling used cars. Prices (on average from 400,000) will depend on the mileage on the odometer, year of manufacture, condition of the body, interior, engine and, of course, on the configuration, as well as on the region.
Below you can watch a video that tells you what to look for when buying this car
Pros and cons of the model
Based on reviews from Honda Civic 4D owners posted on the Internet on thematic portals, we can draw conclusions about the pros and cons of the car model in question.
pros
It is difficult to arrange the advantages of the car in ascending or descending order. Therefore, the list will simply be a listing of the main positive qualities of the Civic.
- Almost one hundred percent of motorists place first place on the quality of the entire assembly, as well as individual components and parts. This is understandable, because the Civic 4D is a Japanese car.
- The next item you can specify is fuel consumption. It has already been described in detail in the section with technical characteristics. Moreover, drivers note a stable volume of gasoline consumed even with high mileage.
- The body design receives definitely positive reviews. It is noted that it not only makes the appearance stylish and presentable, but also significantly affects the dynamics of the car.
- Comfortable salon. Here, a “plus” is given not only to space, but also to a flat floor and heated seats and legs.
- Owners of cars with manual transmissions speak positively about this unit: reliability, durability.
- Controllability. Here, drivers especially praise the sensitive sports steering wheel and stiff suspension, which “holds” the car on the road at high speed.
Minuses
- Most drivers consider low ground clearance to be one of the main disadvantages. Which is understandable, given the quality of the roads, as well as weather conditions in winter. After all, with a ground clearance of 145 mm, it is very easy to get stuck in the snow, even on city streets.
- Also, many Russian drivers point out that the suspension is too stiff for domestic roads. It is ideal on flat, smooth asphalt, but is not very suitable for our realities.
- Noise insulation. Oddly enough, many car owners listed “loud noise” in the cabin among the “cons”.
As you can see, the Honda Civic 4D 2008 has almost no shortcomings. Undoubtedly, reviews about the car are mostly positive. However, there are some points that can be called controversial, since some drivers wrote them down as “cons”, while others, on the contrary, as “pros”.
There are not many such points, but it is still worth listing them:
- Trunk volume. Apparently, someone doesn’t have enough, but in this case it would be better to buy a hatchback rather than a sedan.
- Controllability. Obviously, in this case, what is meant is that the A-pillar is made too wide and somewhat blocks the view.
- Price.
Conclusion
From everything that is written above, one simple conclusion can be drawn: the Japanese once again managed to surprise and delight the world with their technology. Launched in 1972, Honda has undergone many changes in design and performance, each time incorporating the latest advances in design and engineering.
Enterprising manufacturers even took into account the peculiarities of the mentality and needs of drivers in different parts of the world. They offered the best options for the USA, Europe and the former CIS countries. According to some experts, the Honda Civic 4d was in many ways ahead of not only its competitors, but also its time.

Weaknesses of Honda Civic (Honda Civic) 4D.
Review of the operational features of the machine.
Honda Civic 4D is a very popular car on the Russian secondary market. In this article we will look at the weaknesses of these cars, which were produced from 2005 to 2011.
If we talk about the car as a whole, it turned out to be very good - strong, fast enough, comfortable and roomy. That is why its popularity in the secondary market was predetermined. Those who for some reason could not purchase a car from a dealer are happy to buy cars out of warranty as a second owner. It is for such people that we offer our review of the “weak points” and operating features of the Civic 4D.
Engine compartment
The Civic simply has no problems under the hood. The R18 engine, fantastic in its reliability, works like a clock, and so far we have not found not only problems, but even serious preconditions for them.
Among other elements of the engine compartment, one can highlight the relative unreliability of the suspension belt tensioning mechanism, and that’s probably all. There’s probably nothing more to complain about in the engine compartment.
Well, except for the inconvenience of access to the VTEC valve, the gasket under which must sometimes be changed. But this is only an inconvenience, not a nuisance.
There is one remark regarding the operation of the engine, which we cannot yet characterize as a problem and cannot say what consequences it will have and how soon it will lead. Very often the engines on these cars run “hard”, as if “with strain”. Outwardly, this is expressed in fine vibration of the engine, which even serviceable airbags do not completely dampen. The reason for this motor operation has not been fully established. Judging by the scanner readings, all systems are working absolutely properly.
There is a version, which has not yet been refuted, and therefore accepted as working, - problems arise in cars that have been serviced for a long time with high-viscosity 40-grade oil (0w40, 5w40). At least this symptom occurs most often on such cars. It has not yet been possible to establish a cause-and-effect relationship; we cannot yet say what this will lead to. The engine, with this behavior, works properly, consumes a reasonable amount of fuel, does not consume oil, but, nevertheless, does not work correctly. Further observations are required.
Transmission
The Civic sedan has no problems with gearboxes. A classic Honda automatic works without problems if it has been looked after before you. The mechanics will work even if they have not been looked after.
Steering rack
As with the 8th generation Accord, the Civic has an electric power steering rack. The advantages and disadvantages of this design are a controversial topic. But the weak point of the electric rack is the same as on the Accords (and on the CR-V with an electric rack) - the knock of the output bushing.
As is the case with all electric racks, the rack output bushing is not a separately replaceable part, and if it rattles, the entire assembly will have to be replaced. As of 2014, the average price for a new rail was $1200-1400. Agree, it’s a lot of money, considering that one part has worn out, which, by the way, does not affect the safety of driving the car in any way. Its knocking causes two global inconveniences - unpleasant sensations for the car owner, and the inability to undergo maintenance to obtain insurance. It is useless to prove anything to those checking the car before maintenance.
However, we hasten to please the army of Civil Drivers - in the vast majority of cases, if the wear of the unit has not reached the critical stage, the rack must be “treated.” Moreover, with the right approach, after treatment the unpleasant sounds disappear almost forever! We would like to immediately warn those who are planning to restore the rack - using parts from a third-party manufacturer in repairs leads to damage to the rack. Correct repairs are carried out using original parts and technologies!
The only limitation during repair is wear on the inside of the rack shaft (invisible during the initial diagnosis), in which the knock can be even deeper than the output sleeve. In this case, eliminating the bushing knock will not eliminate the knock, which is deeper. It is not immediately possible to localize it if the wear occurs simultaneously with the wear of the bushing, since the noise from the knocking of the bushing will cover the second sound, and the wear can only be seen by disassembling the rack.
However, car owners have little choice - either a new rack (we see no point in putting in a contract), costing $1200 + $100-150 for work, or an attempt at restoration, costing $250 (including work).
Chassis
There are almost no complaints about the chassis of the Civic 4D. It is worth noting as conditionally “weak” points the large vertical silent blocks of the front lower control arms, which often break due to the poor quality of the roads. But, with the cost of these parts being $25 and the frequency of replacement every one and a half to two years, it’s hard to say that this is a serious expense item. If you drive carefully, they “go” for 5-6 years without problems.
Another conditionally “weak” point of the suspension is the supports of the front struts, which, also due to bad roads, begin to creak when turning the steering wheel. It is easy to distinguish this creaking from the creaking of a ball joint - firstly, the sound comes from the top part (where there is no ball joint), and secondly, it reverberates well into the spring of the front strut. Access to these supports is very inconvenient; you have to disassemble the front plastic (“jabot”) under the windshield. But, in general, this problem cannot be called frequent - it is common where the roads are bad, or among drivers who ignore road irregularities.
Conclusion
This note was probably the shortest in the series, and not because we can’t say anything more about this car! On the contrary, we know it quite well, it’s just that the car turned out to be very strong, and even after almost 10 years since the start of production, it has not shown its “weak” points. This means that the car simply does not have them.
There are some shortcomings that you have to come to terms with, and which result in a problem, usually either due to bad roads or poor maintenance.
Owners create most of the problems for themselves - due to the units - incorrect interval (or choice) for replacing working fluids. On the chassis - driving on bad roads and untimely maintenance. Or timely, but duplicate spare parts, which creates additional problems.
There is generally a separate story with interference in the wiring on “pre-restayle” Civic 4D. These cars have four round red lights at the rear, two of which act as markers. Over time, probably, every owner comes up with a great idea: how about making sure that all four lights are on when the lights are on, like a Chevrolet Corvette or a Nissan Skyline?! Next comes intervention in the wiring of the rear of the car and the removal of missing wires to the desired lights. Everything would be nice, but more often than not, this design turns out to be very poorly implemented. The connectors on it fall apart, the reliability of the wiring leaves much to be desired, and all this leads to the fact that the lights either light up “haphazardly” or do not light up at all. To part with such beauty, that is, to return to the original version. Few people want what was intended by the manufacturer, so “the collective farm is growing” with new solutions on the topic “how to make the circuit more reliable.” As a rule, this all works until the first change of lamps in the rear lights, after which all repairs begin anew. This live example shows how you can make a weak point in a car yourself, with the best intentions.
But in general, we would like to note once again that the Honda Civic 4D is an excellent car, which, with proper and timely maintenance, does not cause problems to its first, second, or even third owners
