Well it's no F150 FX2 but I love the way this Honda drives (especially the gas HaHa!). I do already miss the truck. BUT, my plan is to get a new 2011 FX2 at the end of this year at hopefully some deep rebates. If the reviews on the new engines are where I think they'll be. And keep the 2011 Civic (EX w/Navigation).

I know a lot of you raged on me for getting rid of the truck and poking fun like the Prius jokes........I did test drive one and I told the salesman after the drive I'd rather walk. (It made noises like the Jetson's car)

We've owned a few Honda Civic's (in fact we traded my 09 Civic EXL w/Navigation for my X-F150) so I knew exactly what I was getting when I traded my truck for this Civic.

Here's a copy of the link I posted:

I had an 08 Civic EX coupe. Though it felt "sporty" enough, I hated feeling the headliner with my head. I'm only 6ft tall, but that thing was short.

I hope the OP enjoys his new ride and I wish him luck.
I'm 22 and have bought my own home at 21 and just purchased a 2010 fully loaded screw FX4 so don't knock someone for being young. Of course I am military and have deployed for 15 months and 5 months so that let's you save lots of money

Im 6'2", 225 lbs and I have at least 5 -6 inches from the top of my head to the head rest, maybe the coupe is a little different, or you seat wasn't adjusted to the lowest setting.

+1; Trucks are not cheap to buy or operate.I would get a more efficient vehicle; but the F150 suites my needs right now. Not everybody needs a truck. The price of fuel is only going up.
