Great teen car

Overall, this is the perfect car for my teenager. I have confidence in the mechanical and safety features and grateful to have found such a value.

It's a super reliable car

I own and LX with the leather interior option. Seats are very comfortable as I've taken many long trips with no complaints. I currently have 91,000+ miles with NO issues. Just fluid changes and tires so far. Styling is much better than the outgoing model. Another nice feature is rear seat space. My 6ft. 2in. 330lbs. Brother-in-law fits easily in the back seat.

Great Vehicle

I have been a Honda owner since my first Accord about 8 years ago. I’ve had my 2012 Civic for 6 of those and just paid it off. My great experiences with Hondas have influenced my wife to buy Hondas as well, and we are now a Honda family. The gas mileage was what got my attention at first on this car, but the smooth ride, and overall great driving experience has held it.

It is average in most way. Needed a bigger car.

Not enough room in the driver seat. It runs ok. Pretty reliable. Would not buy another Honda Civic because it is too small for me.

So far so good thanks

The car is roomy, great for travelling. It is fantastic on gas. I like the extra features like the sunroof is awesome. Salesmanship was laid back and effective.

Most Reliable Car My Wife Has Ever Owned

This car has been excellent for the 6 years my wife has owned it. It has mostly highway miles and still drives great. This would be a perfect first time drivers car!
