"Over all I am very happy with this car! This is my first Honda and am very impressed. I currently have 30,000 miles on my Civic and the more I drive it, the more I love it! The handling is quick and precise, the power is adequate, and the fuel mileage is fantastic. The leather seats are also very comfortable. I love the "simplicity" of this car, easy controls that can be operated without taking your eyes off the road. The only thing I wish Honda would change is the digital speedometer. Analog is nicer in my opinion, however it wouldn't stop me from buying another Civic!"

"I love my Honda civic! It's great I'm gas, fast, reliable and I got a great deal on it from cabe Toyota in Long beach! I love that it reads everything electronically! Shows oil levels, tire pressure, and more. I'm extremely happy with my purchase."

"I own an '11 Civic LX Sedan in True Blue Pearl, and let me tell you, this car is amazing. I live in a very mountainous area and this car stays going right along with me. (I drive like a hoss) I go back and forth to college 4 days out of the week, 40 mile commute back and forth, highways and rural roads. I average around 33 MPG. It's a wee bit lower for all of the going up and down hills and around the twisting curves. The car is awesome. It seems very happy when going right at 60 on the highway and is highly able to pass when needed. The styling of it on the exterior leaves some room to be desired, compared to other cars in it's category, but it still looks nice once you give it that just-washed look. Interior: I ALWAYS get compliments as soon as people step inside of the vehicle. "Very nice!" "It looks like a spaceship!" are the most common ones that I hear. A few suggestions would be is to actually allow alloy wheels instead of hubcaps in the LX trim. This has always disgusted me about every vehicle. lol I would like if the car sat up a little bit higher. I am forever scraping the bottom, fearing that I've messed up the engine and it's components. Overall, this is a very reliable, comfortable, economical car that will get you anywhere you wanna go. I have almost 24,000 miles on it in a year and a half and I plan to make this car demand more!"

"Well, I must tell you... I am beyond happy with my 2011 Honda Civic LX Coupe. My new commute is 35 miles each way- 5 days a week. My 4x4 truck was killing me in the wallet (15 mpg)! I knew what I had to do. And the Honda Civic was at the top of my list. The ride is Very smooth, though the road noise is more than I expected. So hey! I just crank the Metallica & Scorpions just abit louder! And the sound system is very nice. I love the aux jack for my MP3 player. A The handling is outstanding on the highway or mountainous roads. And yes, I like to push it on the curves around Tahoe when the SUV's are not a problem... A The adjustments on the steering wheel and seating is very nice. A Controls- All very nice and well laid out. well within reach. A+ The comfort level is a 4/5, but possibly because I am getting alittle older... However, when I bought it, I drove it for 10 hours going home, and I arrived with a smile on my face. This car ROCKS. A Gas mileage- I am getting 35 mpg. It seems to increase slightly w/ each fill up. I'm sure the engine is breaking in... and I am getting used to the car. My "old" 2001 EX Civic 5 speed averaged 38 mpg city + hwy. Once I obtained 44 mpg on a trip from Reno, Nv to Eureka, CA. I bought this Automatic because everywhere I read that the new CVT's are now getting better mileage... Now if I can just keep my foot out of it! I know it is and will never be a G 37. But I am very happy with this 2011 Honda Civic LX!!! T DAWG Now on good days, my Harley gets 45 mpg, but with the insane drivers in Reno, I may not make it to work..."

"Traded in my Ford Fusion with 130k miles on it for a 2012 Civic EX. The EPA sticker said 40 mpg on the window. Car is new with 4k miles on it. Just got back from a road trip to Palm Springs and back and with the cruise on and the "Eco" button engaged the best the car got was 33.9. My Fusion got that with more power, bigger engine and 10x the comfort and no I don't work for Ford. Every tiny crack in the road at highway speed sounds like a canon went off in the rear end. The seats and suspension are the worst. You Honda enthusiasts can have mine. I want my Ford back. Same as the new Civic and way better car. First time ever buyers remorse at 50!"

"All the reviews of Honda were so good so I decided to buy my first Honda. It was fine on the test drive but riding over 20 miles I had pain shooting up my back. Tried another long ride same thing. I took it back an explained to the dealer and got a full refund. I also had a problem seeing the speedometer. Ended up buying a new Chevy Malibu which is so comfortable and I can ride for hours in."

"We needed a family car, and this is what the car salesman gave us! Not very impressed at all. You cant even fit someone in the driver with a carseat behind it. For someone who doesnt have a family or doesnt want one anytime soon this car would be fine, but not for any families."

"I've has this car since March 2011 (it is now now August 2011). Since April, there are sporadic times when my car won't start. In June, when the weather became warmer, it started to hesitate. Now it is August and it is hesitating every single time I put it on the road. Its worse on the interstate. I've taken it to the dealership multiple times to only receive a dead-end, similar answer to my own which is "I don't know!" Wasn't expecting the softest seats, but I also wasn't expecting to sit on the hardest seats. The rear view, when backing up, is difficult, but with effort, it can safely be achieved. I was expecting much more since it is a Honda. I encourage any and everyone to invest in the newer models; maybe better changes were implemented for the Civics. By the way, this is my first car."
