The most economic car with a sporty look

This is the perfect size car for me with the best MPG out of any vehicle we have owned. The body style gives it a sporty look. Just had trouble locating the charging port for my phone however I'm glad it I mostly hidden and there is a place to put my phone.

AC issues from the beginning

Bought the a 2016 Honda Civic LX a few weeks after it came out. I immediately noticed that the AC would shut off and just blow outside temperature air when the car is in idle. When stopped in traffic, driving less than 20 mph, stopped at a stop light and this would occur. I was in denial at first because I have owned 4 Hondas and 3 Acuras in the past. Finally after not being able to endure it anymore I took it into the dealer. Of course they couldn't reproduce this and gave me the run around. I traded the car in right after the warranty expired. I was a Honda for life type of person, but not anymore. Toyota/Lexus for life now.

Great car and great mileage

This car is comfortale, dependable and fun to drive. I average around 40 mpg, so it is very economical. There is plenty of leg room and trunk space. We love this vehicle.

Don't Buy Honda

Don't buy Honda! They can't even make A/C work! 😂 Worst car I have ever owned! Toyota and Subaru smoke the Honda's! You can't support a car company that doesn't do right by the customer! RECALL THE CIVIC! A/C SUCKS!

Not a good investment

To start with I've owned 3 Hondas in last 15 years and always liked reliability. Civic is not a good investment if you need a car for lots of driving. AC didn't last 2 years. Condenser needs to be replaced. $1,100 for repair. Honda blames rocks kicking up into condenser. I drive highways. Bad design. Flimsy car.

smooth running, handling and sharp looking car

I am very impressed with this vehicle. Has plenty of power when needed and CVT transmission is very smooth. handles and rides great for small car. interior comfort is nice and comfortable but just a bit tight in the cockpit design and interior is not as slick as its competitor the corolla. The civic shines on its exterior looks though with some great beauty lines and aggressive front end. look forward to owning this vehicle for a long time.

Best car I've ever had.

I love everything about this car. The way it accelerates, handles itself on the road, and everything else about it. I feel very safe driving this car and very confident on the road or in traffic.

My new pride possession!

Excellent value. Loving it!!! It has a lot of features that I am still learning about (I've owned it for less than a week). Safety features are well appreciated.(side view/lane change camera, rear camera; Android auto; ABS; front/rear roll resistance bars;all the airbags, etc. Too many to list here. It also comes with a remote start which is a must for Chicago winters. It also comes with a moon roof! Is giving me excellent mileage (average 35 mpg combined)
