Very reliable car!

The Civic is an excellent economy car. It gets great gas mileage. I drove it until it had 123,000 miles on it and it never gave me any problems. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Paint Problems with 2012 Hondas

I purchased my 2012 Honda Civic LX Sedan for good gas mileage and reliability. When the clear coat failed at 40,000 miles I was disappointed in Honda quality. To my surprise Honda had my car repainted as well as all the weather stripping replaced free of charge. I am impressed as to how Honda stood behind their product.

It's a Honda!

Peace of mind is an amazing thing. My previous cars have not been very reliable, but with my Honda I don't have to worry about a surprise breakdown, and that's awesome. The gas mileage is great. I was commuting about 45 miles to and from work each day (90 miles total!) and was averaging 37 miles per gallon (almost all freeway miles). Since I've switched to city driving, I'm still averaging about 30mpg which is fantastic for me. I'm not a fan of leather interior, especially now that I live in Las Vegas where it's always HOT, but it's in good condition and it's a nice looking car.

Best gas mileage In any car I?ve owned

Me and my girlfriend bought this car for traveling, we own a truck and wanted something better on gas and was easy on the wallet with traveling. The car is very comfortable with plenty of leg room, the ride is very smooth. We never had a issue with the car, I recently changed the front and rear breaks and rotors. But other than that we have always taken care of the car and maintained it .

Fuel efficient and sporty.

This car has been a blessing. Great on gas, quiet, wonderful stereo sound and fun to drive. I decided to buy this car because of it?s sleek design and dependability, but then I discovered how smooth the manual transmission was. The best 5 speed shift I have ever driven... I love this car. So I highly recommend the Honda Civic for the budget conscious buyer. Value and performance!

Civic Si is the best all around car for the money

Incredible car, extremely reliable, and fun to drive with good gas mileage. This car is also very quick for a fwd car that gets 30mpg.

Great car

This car has been through many moments and kept me safe all throughout high school. Great and reliable car for teenagers/first car) and saves a much appreciated amount on gas.

Best car I have currently owned

The car has been nice so far, and since it is a civic it will last for a long time. The previous car I owned was a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria police intercepter, so unfortunately it lacks the horse power of a V8. That being said, 9 times out of 10 I would pick my Honda for reliable transportation any day.

A pleasure to drive

My Honda Civic is a dream to drive. I enjoy it very much. It is an easy car to drive and has a lot of zip. It has all the things that I required and is comfortable to drive. It has nice sleek lines and gets great gas mileage on highway trips. I'm very happy with my choice.
