Good car, but awful Air conditioning.

The air conditioning in these cars have an issue where they would suddenly stop working and some people have to pay thousands to fix the issue, even though this generation civic has only been around for half a decade, with many of the issues happening when the cars do not even have 50,000 miles. Even when the ac works, it does not really feel cold even when put in the coldest temperature. everything else about the car is good, and love the performance of the turbo engine, but if you are looking for good air conditioning, i think competitors are better.

Not Reliable. Serious Issues.

AC broken when sold. Told by dealership that "all civics have this problem" so many, in fact, that the parts were on national back order for weeks. Has been in for service for one problem after another. Hondas used to be reliable - no longer.

Civic dollars and common sense

This car meet most of my needs. However it is close to the ground and hard to get into and out of at my age (57). Fantastic fuel economy up to 50 on the highway and Honda reliability. Honda Sensing works well.

I have owned only Hondas for many years!

It's a Perfect Vehicle: It has style, it drives well, it's economical on gas. It's roomy enough for my 6'3 grandson, and reliable to last for many years. Hondas are also easy to fix if needed and not expensive to maintain.

Dependable work car

I haven't had much time to get acquainted with my car. I already am looking forward to the great gas mileage and small gas tank when I have to fill it up.

Enjoy my car.

I like my sporty car. It makes me feel good to drive it. I like the sunroof and color of my car. I wished the front seat wasn’t so low. I got a cushion to fit on the car seat to make it higher.

Really good car

This is a good car - just boring. I've owned it for almost 4 years and over 50k miles, and it's been nothing but smooth sailing. Keep up with the suggested maintenance and this thing will just keep going forever. The seat material is pretty bad - stains very easily and shows wear when you try to clean it - too delicate. Nice to drive - nice clutch, transmission, steering is a bit light but pretty lively. Power is more than adequate around town, but when speeds get higher, especially with multiple people in the car, it feels underpowered. Would definitely recommend.

Bluetooth is bad enough for a 1 Star

Bluetooth works for at most 3 months then gets messed up. This has been going on for 4 years. If your phone updates you have to delete the Bluetooth and repair. But the phone is never forgotten. If you have an Apple and use an after market cable for charging or as a work around for crap Bluetooth it can mess with the Bluetooth connection. I drive for work and this has been a terrible experience. I’m doing so many janky workarounds just to function with something that should just work.

No issues for past 3+ years

Fun to drive great on gas. Good in snow with snow tires. Used for commuting 45 minutes each way every weekday. 38-40 mpg consistently. Would recommend.
