2017 Honda Civic consumer reviews

despite numerous quality & reliability issues ( 2016 thru 2021 ) > many will never be resolved by Honda as Honda accepts no responsibility nor concern about problems > including mechanical & in-vehicle entertainment systems, Honda still retains value.

2017 EX-L. I took very good care of this car. At 121 K transmission failure on the freeway. Totally unexpected. A certain number of 2017's had an issue with the software and transmission. CVT suspected culprit. I contacted Honda and they did not offer any $. I am not going to write the figure that I had to pay to install the transmission. This is my second Civic. My 2004 was driven 12 years. No real issues. This will be my last Civic.

Within it's class there is no better value. The overall layout and functionality of the car is superb. The 1.5L Turbo exhibits less turbo lag than any other turbo car I have ever driven. At first I was skeptical about the CVT, however, a hatchback with a 5-speed manual was unavailable (searched a 5 state area) when I purchased in March 2017. I was quite impressed with the performance of the CVT both in acceleration, functionality, and most of all the mileage matched with the engine. (70 mph cruise w/ A/C 38 mpg) Six years and 45K miles later (COVID kept the miles low) the car has had zero repairs other than routine maintenance. Handling is superb. Rear end styling isn't my favorite; but the hatchback is extremely useful in hauling materials (10 ft 2" x 4" lumber with fit with hatch closed). My 5th Honda bought new. (1982 Accord, 1997 Civic, 2002 S2000, 2007 CRV, & 2017 Civic Sport Hatchback).

For overall reliability & quality, this generation Civic is poor. have had continual issues with the electrical & in car entertainment systems since new. add in issues with the CVT requiring servicing every 30,000 miles ( authorized Honda dealer to complete this for warranty consideration when CVT fails ) and ownership experience becomes a negative.

PERFORMANCE IS GREAT BEST VEHICLE IVE EVER HAD. HAD IT FOR 5 YEARS, KEPT THE OIL CHANGED AND WE'RE ARE STILL ROLLING WITH DEPENDENCY, RELIABILITY AND CONFIDENCE!

Just bought this car for my son to go to college in. He also works for Shipt and the 35 miles a gallon is outstanding. This little Civic with a turbo should last my son his entire college courier.

This car has lots of what I call bells and whistles. These are really a great feature, one that I didn't have in the previous car I owned. I am learning how to use all these features and am glad I have them.

Was looking for a good fuel efficient car because of my long work commute. This car has been outstanding with the performance and fuel mileage. Extremely glad I purchased it. Beautiful interior, has all the creature comforts I was looking for in an upgraded car. Could be a little bigger but, there are trade offs. Better fuel mileage for a little smaller car, that packs a punch when you need a quick pick up and go!

I think it’s a great vehicle and happy with my purchase Drives excellent and the look of the car is great too! I recommend this car to buy.

In 2017, I bought a Civic EXL. Before buying this car new, I researched and test drove most of the competitors, including the Corolla, Legacy, Golf, and Soul. Only the Civic checked all the boxes. Excellent fuel economy, wonderful handling, great reliability, reasonable price, good looks, etc. Even now as I drive it, I still appreciate how it handles, and how comfortable it is. I noticed that when I first bought the car, and took on a long drive, my back would start aching after an hour. However within a month, the seat had conformed to my shape, and is very comfortable even for long drives. I live in high elevation and put Blizzak snow tires on it for the winter, and have no problems getting around in the snow. I will have this car for many more years, and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reasonably priced, reliable fun car to drive.
