Fantastic value for the money and thrifty on fuel

Been driving 2018 Civic EX T Sedan for about 3 weeks. Really happy with my purchase. My last Honda was a 2008 and this replaces it. The 08 Honda was the lowest cost per KM of the three autos I currently own and I’m expecting the same with this one.

BEST car in it's class.

Perfect car for us. We love driving it and it does everything we use it for well. Great styling and no problems at all. Plan to drive it for a long time.

Vibration when driving any speeds

I test drove this in the winter maybe five miles. I have owned several civics in the past, accords, crv and Pilot. Thought I would go back to a civic for the gas saver. This by far is the worst Honda I have ever owned . Took it back to dealer after driving it for 800 miles and ask them to check tires balance because it rides like a ten year old car.!! They rebalanced tires and the car still vibrates and acts like it has a bad tire. Returned to dealer the recheck and did a road forced balance and alignment. Car still is unbearable to ride long distance in. Returned to dealer and the head mechanic rode with me in the car and stated that this is how the newer civic rides. NOT impressed at all wish I had test drive the car from a longer distance and drove on some roads that are not expressway. The car jumps over bumps and acts like all four wheels are trying to figure out how to land. My mother’s 1997 Pontiac Vibe rides better. My new car now has 2834 miles on it and I can’t wait to get rid of it.

Night driving is horrible without high beams!!!

Honda Civic sedan, 2018. Very difficult driving at night without high beams on ~ and dangerous! Only owned since end of October 2018, and fearful of driving at night. Cloth interior is inferior quality. No back window wiper. Back seat headrests make it difficult to see much out of rear window. I researched reviews before purchase, found nothing on poor headlights ~ finding many complaints now!!! I like the looks, roomy interior, and wheels. Doesn't make up for poor quality ~ especially BAD headlights!!! Really upset!!!

Reliable car

I've never been more excited about purchasing this vehicle. It drives very good and makes my commute home very smooth. Test drive and see exactly what I'm talking about.

Comfortable ride, great gas mileage!

Perfect size & style for my husband & I . We liked the Civic so much we bought another two days ago. We always drove an Accord, decided to try a different style three years ago!

Great value.

Fuel mileage is better then advertised. Mostly mixed driving. Always 40+ . Handles good, solid build, no rattles. Roomy but not big. Fits my needs very well. EX-T is a great value of features for price.

Makes for a Great First Self-Bought Car

This is the first car that I have bought and owned on my own. It meets all my needs and expectations. If I was to be picky, I might want a better center console area for placing my phone. I'm also a fairly tall individual at 6'4", and while I have plenty of room in the driver and front passenger seats, I know that I would be kind of cramped in the back. However, I personally don't need the back to be very spacious as I don't drive around many people but myself. Overall, it is a wonderful car to drive and so far has been very reliable.

All-in-one package!

This was my first brand new vehicle and I have to say that it has gone beyond my expectations so far. Not only does it drive smoothly, but it gets excellent gas mileage in both the city and highway. There is plenty of power to make this car such a blast to drive. The safety features such as a LaneWatch and multi-angle rearview camera that put it ahead of its competitors. There is also plenty of space of inside which it makes more accessible and comfortable. The exterior design is a bonus as well since it appears more sporty and aggressive. I would highly recommend this car to anyone especially if you care about safety and reliability!
