Fun, Sporty, Practical Car

This car has and does everything. I bought the 2018 Civic Hatchback, Touring Sport edition off the lot new in mid-2019. Why buy the 2019, when I could get nearly the same car for a couple thousand less? The car is great. It is comfortable to drive with leather seats with power adjustments, a moon roof, and auto start to cool the car off before you get in on the hot summer days! It has a sports made that lets you zip around and relive your teenage years (yes, just like you are in a fast & furious movie), complete with paddles that let you manually adjust your gears. The hatchback lets you carry around a few extra items, and the back seats fold down for even extra toting room. I give the interior only four stars because there is this weird holographic print on the front dashboard that looks a bit cheap. Otherwise, this Honda is great. The Sport Touring edition comes complete with navigation, apple play, and a subwoofer for great sound. I love this car.

Reliable and the best looking car I have ever had

This is a great car. I have the hatch back and it has lots of room. I only have one issue. I miss my CD player. I’m older and I just want to play my CD’s

Very nice vehicle & so fun to drive

This car is great. It’s peppy enough to get up and go. Full of features and the styling is nice. Only things I’m starting to notice what may be a SLIGHT complaint. The radio does not have a physical knob to change the volume nor is there a knob for changing the fan speed on the a/c. Not bad, just takes getting used to. The tray where your phone is supposed to sit while plugged up for your Apple CarPlay isn’t quite large enough for these new phones (iPhone XR). Still not that big a deal just something I’m noticing. Will see how the gas mileage plays out, I’m only at 70miles, so still young!

Best car I’ve owned

It’s stylish, great looking interior. It automatic with Bluetooth and just has everything in the right spot. Has tint so will protect from harmful rays. I have a set of rims that sparkle.

If you’re looking for your first car, this is the1

Excellent car for new drivers. Secure, technological, sporty, comfortable, and cool. I love this car. I would purchase one of this to my future kid. Recommended if you want a modern car, good on gas, insurance, and is very fun to drive. I would like it to have more torque, but since it comes with only CVT transmission it’s hard to make it run like an animal. Personally I don’t like CVT, even though it helps to save gas, it takes off some fun and the classic engine behave when accelerating. But as an overall I’ll recommended it.

Most reliable car i've owned

This car met all of my needs. Plenty of space, beautiful exterior and interior, low mile-age at great value, well-preserved, moderately equipped with latest technology, economical when it comes to fuel consumption.

Phenomenal Miles per Gallon

I have the 2018 2.0 L Civic EX and drive it in the economical mode and get better than 40 MPG driving to work approximately 3 miles one way and on the highway it gets in excess of 50 MPG. On a longer road trip it gets a phenomenal amount of miles per gallon. Drove a 2017 Toyota Corolla before and the Civic has better clearance and handles speed bumps/humps more smoothly. Also like the right side camera for turning and lane changes.

Most Inconvenient car ever.

This car just wont turn on after 14,000 miles because of the cheap battery and other parts that this dealership use. Start considering a new different car that is reliable and worth every penny.

3 months and already two visits to the dealer

Simple usb not charging turned into two trips and days without car. So dismayed I thought being my first new Honda I’d be good for years even my Malibu never had issues 6 yrs later. Service at dealer really lacks big time, gal told me nothing free anymore sir, ok Honda Helpful People” then they filed to do their job nor did they tell me about the known recall. So sad

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

The 2018 Honda Civic EX-T has plenty of room to move around and be comfortable. It has the economy mode which saves on gas. It also has the turbo boost too.
