I couldnt ask for a better car!
I got this car less than 2 years ago because I lived in Burnaby and went to school in Vancouver. I moved into the city in September and have only used it less than 2x a week since then. I have no complaints about this car, it is perfect! I just dont use it enough therefor I have decided to sell it. I have kept it in great condition and just had it fully serviced. I bought it used from the Richmond auto mall and only one female owned it before me. This car has been in no accidents. Please ask if you have further questions! Thank you!

Meh. Liked my Ford Focus better
This car has been reliable, except for the tires that came with it - defective rubber, it was crumbling and cracked before 30k. Dealer laughed at me and told me to read my warranty, tires weren't covered. So I had to buy new tires at least a year or two before I was expecting to.

Because of the large, raked-back windshield, I could never keep it clear of ice and fog in cold weather- the heater just couldn't keep up. In fact, the idle speed is so slow that warming it up for 20 minutes with the heater blowing full on would not clear the windshield of overnight ice. Not a good winter car. Same in the summer - air conditioner cannot keep up with the heat generated by the windshield if you are facing the sun. Windshield looks cool but is not practical! Its hard to get a wiper blade that fits. And the long post on the driver's side impedes clear vision, particularly when you are making a left turn.

I have had an intermittent, extremely annoying rattle that seems to come from the hand grip on the head liner on the driver's side, which means its right by my ear. Drives me absolutely batty, I have to turn up the tunes to drown it out. Doesn't do it all the time, but often enough....

Another seriously annoying item: the gas tank release on the floor on the drivers side is a high heel shoe trap.

The front seats are hard to operate in terms of getting into the back seat area - finicky and no memory of previous settings. The passenger side seat has to be all the way forward, or else it slides back and forth while you are driving. The rear seats don't have 60/40 split, its all or nothing and the opening between the trunk and cabin is minuscule and oddly shaped.

I have enjoyed very good gas mileage with this car - 600-650 km per tank, depending on the type of driving and weather. But I have surely sacrificed some performance, you have to rev the engine quite high to get any acceleration. It's not fun to drive, but it handles well.

Reliable Practical Car
This is the second Honda Civic I have owned simply because I have total trust and excellent experience with it. The interior/exterior designs are superb. The drive and ride are great .It's good on gas and cheap to maintain. On top of all these, the resale value is great. Will definitely recommend this car to anybody.

A new car,but something happened every time.
I bought this car a new,was only 21 km.For today I've passed 28000km.What kind of problems I had?In one year was leaks in steering.I don't know where exactly it was,each week I filled about 100 ml.Honda fixed.In 13 months I put the car in Honda for replace oil,somebody hitted back.Honda fixed.In 16 months was electrical fire when I came back from job at 11 night.Wasn't any light in car.Honda fixed.In 26 months replaced oil,it was in November,quality oil is terrible.Why I now.Instead of 10000km I will be able to pass only 5000km.Computer in Honda shows too fast changing persentage condition of the oil.Another important thing the problem with starting up below -30.I told all problems with oil in Honda they changed the battery.Anyway it doesn't help.In 30 months appeared problems with right front shock absorber.Honda fixed.One week ago appeared the same problem with shock absorbers.I need apply again for fixing.

What can I say Iove my civic its a great car for the money you pay it can be expensive to purchase but overall its agreat little car to get around. I love it all around yes maybe the Csx has better performance but still compare to alot of cars on the roads today are maybe nicer and better but when it comes to reliability and so its still a great car! Great job Honda !

Over all not bad
I have had this car for a few years, now its more of a weekend car or grocery car. The styling is blah and interior is blah the fuel economy and reliability of the car is outstanding. one of the best and parts are readily available so you don't have any sort of thing to worry about while driving or owning the car.

A Decent Car for Anyone
My car is a few years old now, and hasn't had any major problems. The pricing was really good, although that means that I opted out of many extras and add ons. I would recommend this car to anyone looking to get a cheap, reliable car.

My car is fantastic. I've taken care of it for years and she looks great. I'm sure she has many many good years a head of her. she has a small dink on the right bumper because a kid on a bike crashed in to it in my driveway. Other than that she's a beauty. Smells wonderful and has heated seats.

Good for daily commute
Like: Engine great, consumption as per charts, roomy although looking small. Extraordinary design, better than latest models; automatic service code pop-ups with displays on oil quality;
Dislike: Rust appearing after only 3 years, and not under waranty; Dillership service that tries to rip you off - recommending battery and allmost all fluids to replace after 3 yrs (except the regular oil change).

Honda- Civic purchased as brand new in 2009
I enjoy driving it. I haven't got any issue so far.
As passenger may not be satisfatory while it is fun to drive though. The fuel efficiency is lttle disappointing for this segment. I don't measure the fuel efficiency for the accurate information. I drive GMC Yukon which is one of the bad ones on gas but I don't see the huge gap between the two.
I mean Yukon takes alot more gas than Civic and they are totally different segment. At least I don't feel Civic is super low on gas. Overall it is ok to me. My wife loves it. I don't plan to buy again but I can recommand it to whom never drive Honda before.

Trim: Si
by jscsgrl on 02-04-2013
I Love my Car, BUT...
After a 3 month search for a gently used VW GTI I decided to give other car manufacturers a chance. After taking the Si for a test drive, I was sold on it. The suspension is pretty stiff which gives a rough ride on imperfect road surfaces, but ensures a secure grip on the road around corners. My gas mileage, despite a heavy foot has been impressive - I've calculated a few 45+ mpg trips (highway). And it's acceleration is impressive as one $317 speeding ticket can attest. I love the 6 speed, although the gear shifter's metal top is excessively scratched. The cabin space is quite spacious - a 6'3" friend has comfortably sat in the front. On the down side, I have experienced some electrical issues: the map lights have worked intermittently, as has one front turn signal. This winter, in extreme cold temperatures (below minus 25 C), the radio and it's display do not work until the car warms up -- a new issues this winter). All in all, I love the car and would recommend it to anyone who knows how to drive a stick. (All the same, the plan for my next car is the GTI!)
