BEST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED

This car is amazing, very spacious but still nice and compact and comfortable. Feels like your floating when driving it's such a smooth ride. Excellent on gas and the car is definitely a head Turner! Truly the best car I have ever had.

Three years later still looks brand new

After following all the updates before the release and getting a second one on the lot to come in definitely worth the wait. After three years still looks like it came off the showroom floor. Great power and looks. The only thing wrong is the tweeter speakers grill has came loose on all four speakers and vibrates and dash on the drivers side vibrates too. I got to shove something in between the dash and the door to stop it from vibrating have to go to Honda for the second time now.

My pretty Honda

My vehicle drives and handles great! I drive around 40 miles a day with my work commute so it’s very reliable and smooth. Thanks Enver! My salesman at Crown Honda.

Great value and reliability

I had not owned a Honda in quite a few years and was impressed with how advanced they have become to provide a comfortable and reliable vehicle. My only area of improvement would be the controls for the audio (volume and equalizer) are touch based and that makes it difficult while driving without looking.

Definitely not

I’ve owned a 2008 Toyota Corolla (best car I’ve ever owned, NEVER had an issue with 270,000 miles drove like a champ in the snow and was an incredibly smooth ride for living in Wisconsin conditions. Also owned a 2016 Scion tc which drive like a champ in the winter but didn’t have the features I’d like it to have...I then owned a 2014 ford escape after my to upgrade to a 4wd and was put off by all the mechanical problems so I decided to trade for a 2017 Honda Civic ex-t. I sadly dislike this car the most of all the cars I’ve owned :( It only has 17,000 miles on it bought it with 4,000 miles.. it’s a rough ride and the steering is ridiculous! When I drive a car, I’d like the steering wheel to remain stable and smooth, this car feels like I’m constantly moving the steering wheel while driving just to keep it going straight. If we get 2” of snow on the ground I’m in the ditch. Yeah I understand it’s a sports car but this is ridiculous...

Look out for the EX-T

The Civics with turbos are starting to have trouble with gasoline leaking past the cylinders and into the oil pan, diluting the oil. One extra year on the warranty is Honda’s idea of a “fix”. Stay away from these cars

Fun to drive

Inexpensive, reliable and it’s really fun to drive . I was surprised by how quiet the ride is compared to a corolla even nicer than he Camry

Poor battery life

I was really surprised to discover that a Honda civic battery only lasts 2 years. having always bought Toyota's whose battery life is 4 to 5 years I tried a civic only to discover its life is v short. V disappointed.

Reliable, trouble free vehicle.

Love this Honda Civic LX Sedan, it is giving me great reliable transportation, haven't had no major breakdowns or issues other than windshield wiper motor had a clicking noise, the dealer replaced under warranty. This is the best vehicle I have owned, I keep maintenance high priority, only Honda Parts. I love the performance of this car, it's has great road handling, comfortable seating for five, steering, braking, riding comforts are top five stars. Honda has really stepped up their game with the 2017 Civic, great styling interior and exterior, excellent fuel mileage. Always getting compliments.
