Bought my 2012 brand new and 12 years later it still runs

Bought my 2012 brand new and 12 years later it still runs great! I have put o er 304,000 miles on it and have had no problems. I have done regular maintenance on the car and it keeps on ticking. The paint is poor condition and weather stripping has deteriorated. The interior has held well! The only thing after 12 years and lots of miles is the CD player is making noises and wearing out. I am going to keep driving until it dies which at this point seems like it might be another 100-200k miles.

115 miles and going strong. The 2012 Honda Civic is a car that continues to impress long after its initial release. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a commuter, or someone looking for a reliable and fuel-efficient vehicle, the Civic delivers on all fronts. Its comfortable interior, great fuel economy, fun-to-drive nature, and rock-solid reliability make it a standout in the used car market.

Best Reliable car I ever had.

I am amazed everyday I drive this car is just really reliable and simple I have the most basic one but that is also something I appreciate. It's honda at its best pure engineering. It does everything you expect from a daily car and doesn't complain at all. Mine has 72,000 Miles and it feels really solid just like new. Best Car I ever had

Very Reliable

Perfect little car. Just changed the oil every 5,000 miles, did the rear struts, and put on two new sets of tires in the five years I owned it. My son did jam the key in the frozen door lock, and we had to replace that. 166,000 miles and my mechanic says it's absolutely fine.

Reliable as expected.

Interior and exterior well designed, great look and controls are easy. Not plastic junk. I wish it had more horses but if yer looking for good city car this is it. Great turn radius and gas milage.

Best Car I've Owned

Bought it at a good price and it lasted me several years before I traded it in. Was durable, fast, and easy to drive. Great compact car.

Purchased 10 Years, Still Runs Great!

2012 Honda Civic is a dependable car. I also drive a 1998 Civic (still running) and a 2018 Honda Civic. All my Honda’s are running great and a lot of credit goes to my Tony Honda Service Advisor Sean Kikuchi who have kept my cars on a thorough maintenance schedule.

Sleek & Reliable

This car was the first car I purchased on my own and I loved everything from the chic exterior to the smooth ride. The heated leather seats are so comfortable and the vehicle’s compact size was safe and perfect for my daily work commute. Many happy journeys took place inside from summer trips to the shore to taking our first born home from the hospital.
