Great Car

I went to Honda Norm Reeves in Cerritos, Roberto Arteaga helped us. He was very patient with us and answered all our questions. He helped us get a great price on our car and in finance.

2 times 2012 Civic!

Since 1986, my wife and I have owned Hondas. The Civic is hands down, THE best model to own in the line. It is so up to date, but stays true to the original vision for Honda Autos. I purchased a new Civic LX Sedan in 1998 and sold it in 2012 for 300 less than asking price. This year I have purchased 2-2012 Honda Civics. After owning the first one for 15,000 miles and digging it more than any Honda we've ever had...it was a no-brainer to figure out what our second car would be replaced with. My wife gets to drive the luxury EX and I am the humble hipster in the LX. The LX actually rides smoother, probably due to the stock steel wheels and working man's tires. If I were you, I would skip the SUV or Family Van and buy two of these...but hey, what do I know?

sharp as a whip

2012 coupe EX---used, 7,000 miles. Just had duel exhaust installed. May get high air-input filter system installed to add growl and a little more horse power. Didn't want SI as it is stick, I need auto. This car is like driving a sports car, only I get 44 mpg on highway and 30+ in city. A good buy at $17500 out the door. Saved about $4,000 over new. I wanted a Hyundai Coup but didn't want to pay $23000 +. Also wanted good mpg.

I really like my new car.

I had not purchased a car in 14 years and wanted to do so very carefully. I am getting 40 miles/gallon. I save so much money monthly even with a car payment. The only thing I would have preferred is leather seats. The color (dynamo blue) draws a lot of attention. The car is easy to drive and comfortable. I am a satisfied customer.

Great Year End Civic Price and Value

It's always frustrating buying a car but not at my Honda Dealer, they made it a great experience. Never able to afford Hondas or Toyotas always over msrp prices until now, so timing was great. Don't listen to informational car magazines, this is a great little car. I love the star wars type dash board graphics. So just got it but hands down now and trade time in 2016 I'm sure it will be an excellent value. So far I love it!!

Honda Civic CNG

Purchased primarily to obtain HOV sticker. Drives nicely, gets great mileage (36 to 40+ mpg). Needs frequent fill-ups due to size of gas tank. Acceleration is lacking. Dealer had great price, so for purpose acquired, car is perfect (as soon as HOV sticker arrives).

Noise

How come when you test drive a car there is no noise from the inside of the car but after you buy the car all of a sudden there is noise?
