Extremely reliable

Never broke down once, never had to change any transmission parts. Still runs smooth with all units working at 83k miles. The leather interiors were very easy to maintain, still giving it a new look.

Good car

Love the car but not the buying experience. The car was a good deal for the price. Not bad for a used car. Thank you

Most Reliable Car I Owned!

This car met all my needs. Very comfortable, drives really well. For the time I've owned it I've never had any issues with it. Economical and a great car for starters or for a family.

Most reliable care I've ever owned. Unbeatable

This car is extremely effecient, reliable, good looking, drives well. I bought the car brand new and wish I could keep it forever. Honda could charge more for these cars based on value alone.

Honda a great cars and this car just proves it!

This car has been a great car! I get great gas mileage, As i am starting to grow my family a two door car does not meet my needs. This is a great commuter car.

Reliable car

We love the Civic. It is a great little commuter car since I drive 30 miles one way to work every day. Hondas are always a fantastic choice.

I just paid it off, not selling it, daughter gets

5 star safety rating, up to 45 mpg hwy, low maintenance cost, all these are highlights of why I want my 17 year old to have this 2012 Honda Civic EX as her first car. The digital display of mpg has spoiled my analytical nature. The kids have used the heck out of the usb connectivity. I have chauffeured kids and run a cleaning business out of this roomy, reliable, gas saver. There are very few cons on this car. The low profile makes it impossible to make any errors in clearing old speed bumps, road kill, quick stops, or if you go off the pavement for any reason. The plastic oil pan protector was a goner after just a few weeks of purchase. No need trying replace that. The starter needed repair once which was a complicated issue, but that is it in 7 years of ownership. I am hard on cars and this one has stood up well.
