Honda Civic Reviews

It is a good first car, reliable and, easy to maintain. It has a good fuel economy. It would definitely fit most people. However, after three years of driving it, I would like to drive something more luxurious.

I drive a 2010 Civic Si and it has been a reliable car. With the right tires, it handles well and it's fun to drive. I have had very few problems, aside from regular maintenance on this vehicle. I have only one ongoing issue where it doesn't like to start straight away when it's very wet outside and the mechanic isn't sure exactly why. There are little things that are annoying like, the center console no longer slides freely, one of the controlled vents doesn't stay in position when the heat is on, and the side window vent cover located near the front windshield pops up frequently. But, overall, the car is in good shape.

Has lasted for 30 years. Still going strong with 169,000 miles. Great gas mileage. Has been a great car. Would buy a Honda again. I just now need a bigger size like a CRV or HRV. A great size fits in tight spaces. Everything still in good working order except air conditioner has had problems last several years but believe the garage where being repaired put in inferior parts. Have even slept in it for 8 days and seven nights when camping with my dog. It worked wonderfully well since I had electricity at campground. Again, Honda still great cars!

The Civic is a great value. It has a very comfortable ride, gets great mileage and is very cost effective. Very reasonable in the maintenance area and very stable in the highway. I have had three of them and will be getting another in the future.

I was so happy with my 2012 Honda Civic. My Civic is black and one or two years back my car start getting white spots. I thought was because was too hot and the heat was damaging the color (even that is not logic). Like 2 months ago someone told me the Honda paint have a problem (I didn't know and Honda never informed of that). Honda have a extension warranty for the paint. I was surprise like I said I didn't know this problem exist on Hondas. Apparently the don't paint the cars good just trying to get more out for sale.

Great gas mileage 37.6 mpg. Car has plenty of zip for a four cylinder. Stylish outside and inside. Works with Apple CarPlay. It has constant variable transmission along with paddle shifters on steering wheel.

Honda is a trustworthy brand. I have had several Hondas and they never disappoint. So I was happy to see that the new security features I wanted came standard on the 2019 Civic. And they work like a charm. I sometimes use the Adaptive Cruise Control even in the city. It works perfectly even at low speeds. The Lane Protection feature does not quite make this a self-driving care, but it's on track. The back camera has a great resolution and can be set to several levels of zoom. The car is a tad bit low, so it's not as easy as others to get in and out of. It has a large trunk space. I wish it had more USB ports to connect all my devices. And more cup-holders. The dashboard is configurable and the menus are fairly easy to navigate through.

2000+ miles after the warranty expired, the starter on my 2016 Honda Civic broke. They would not offer any type of remuneration. I have purchased over 6 Hondas in my lifetime. It looks like I bought my last one.

I bought a brand new 2019 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport in February 2019. I drove a lot of miles which, is at about 30k right now. I noticed the rear floor lining is popping out under the rear right seat. The rear floor lining isn’t sitting flush against the bottom board of the car. So, because it isn’t laid flat there’s a gap. When the carpet gets stepped on, the hole that’s holding the lining underneath the plastic is stretching out causing the lining to pop out. Because the lining is underneath the front seats and the seat railing is bolted on top of the lining, it can’t be repositioned to get rid of the gap, unless all the front seats and railings get removed.

Sooo totally disgusted with Honda. 2017 Civic. Still under warranty with only 30K on it and AC unit starts blowing hot air. Dealer says it's the compressor but Honda has not released a replacement part yet. Honda say it's their supplier who has not shipped yet and they don't know when they will. Sorry for your luck. Omgosh. Wish I could give zero stars. Certainly would never buy Honda again.

Hi, I'm a loyal Honda costumer for years. I just bought a 2016 Honda Civic which has been diagnosed that the AC isn't working properly. I have researched online and this same issue (AC compressor/condenser leaking) is a common problem for 10th gen Civics that can be proved after seeing thousands of owners with the exact same issue as mine. The damage in my compressor, after the diagnose, was NOT due to road damage. Seems to be a design flaw, -- as the dealership said, which also suggested me to contact American Honda to take another look at my case, also the Honda tech confirmed they have a corrosion problem with 2016 Civic AC.

I purchased a 2016 Honda Civic. I thought this was a reliable car. I have less than 13,000 miles and have had three batteries. (The one it came with and two more.) I had to take it in because it would hesitate when I would turn right. They were unable to duplicate. The module display went bad and it had to be replaced. When I asked why so many batteries the service department said, "I don’t know." I called the Corporate office and they said I don’t drive the car enough. I will never ever buy or suggest that anyone buy a Honda. I feel I have a lemon and Honda has not been helpful at all. Please do not buy, if you have a problem with the car you are on your own.

I had 2016 Honda Civic EX. My car AC not working. I took car to dealership and find out that condenser and compressor not working need to replace. They had to order part. But, since Honda does not have part in stock they were not able to repair. Also, there is no any guaranteed time period when part will arrive since Honda has back log order. Honda is not small car company. They do manufacturer different car models. How can they don't have part in stock. I also email to Honda customer care department and in reply I got email that I will get call from manager in 3 to 5 business day which I had not received. Looks like they only know to make money from customer but does not know to provide proper service.

The air conditioning problems with the 10th generation Honda Civic seem to be widespread. Even more troubling is the fact that Honda refuses to address these issues and/or correct the problems even when under warranty. I have been a Honda customer since the early 90s, this being my 4th Honda auto. My a/c issue just started a month ago. The driver's side vents blow ambient/hot air, while the passenger side blows cold air. Did a little research and more than likely the system has a low charge of refrigerant (although other factors could be involved) but this being the more likely cause. I have 41k miles on the car and am outside the warranty, so any repairs made will have to come out of pocket. After reading all the horror stories on various blogs and complaint sites, and having a relative idea of what the repair costs would be, it seems that the best solution is to get rid of this lemon and trade it in for a more reliable vehicle.

This is the 4th Honda that I've bought brand new over the years, all of my previous Hondas I've absolutely loved. The 2016 Honda Civic EX-T has completely changed my thoughts on the Honda car brand. Issue #1- Right away I started having electrical issues (not starting, throwing random lights, infotainment freezing, draining battery, the list goes on), after 6 trips to the dealership they finally get it straightened out. #2- My steering column has an issue and needs to be replaced. #3- 700 miles after my warranty expired my engine blew and flooded the turbo with oil ($7,000 altogether).

2016 Civic Air Conditioning under 36,000 miles. Don't buy this car! I had issues with the A/C right away. I had it fixed August 2018 and it is out again July 2019. Dealer said it is the condenser and it would cost $850.00. I am sure the dealer did a minor fix instead of fixing the big problem the first time. I reached out to Honda and they said Debris is not covered under warranty. I asked them to pay $150.00 for a 2nd opinion and they wouldn't do that either. Save yourself $- don't buy this car, you shouldn't have to fork out this amount of $ when you have a new car. Honda dealer is in Cerritos, CA.

I leased a 2017 Honda Civic LX in 2017. I really love the vehicle as far as its look, great on gas, etc. However the driver seat even set at its highest is still too low for me to see the lower front of the vehicle and I find myself parking over parking lot barriers etc. and as a result I get damage under the bumper. The front of the vehicle is much too low. Yesterday I damaged the front lower left bumper because I hit a corner of a curb. If I could have seen the curb and the front wasn't so low it wouldn't have happened. I have to purchase a thick pillow to put on the driver side so I can see the curbs, etc.

I will never ever purchase another Honda. Purchased 2016 Honda Civic for daughter's graduation gift. At first 419 miles, entire warning light on instrument lit up like Christmas Tree. Gears locked up and will not shift.. Luckily local dealer wasn't too far and was able to drive it in on locked 2nd gear. Dealer claim there's no bulletin out on such problem.. Well that was first major issue. Not at 5390 miles, same thing happened except this time gear is locked completely and entire warning lights lit up again. End up towing it in to local dealer for service and end up replacing TCM and PCM.

I bought a new Civic Nov 2015, the original tires and battery had to be replaced sooner than was expected. The interior is nice and the seats are comfortable. The suspension/handling of the car is smooth, especially when mountain driving. Have received compliments on the look of the car, so far so good, mileage is @ 32,000.

I have a 2016 Honda EX-T with 75,000 miles. Already need the turbo replaced. Honda claims they are not aware of a problem despite a simple Google search turns up numerous threads of the exact same problem. The fix cost over $2000! Beware before you buy. Last time I will buy a Honda. Same problem as everyone. Out of the clear all the warning lights come on, brake, stability emission, etc. No advance warning. I have reported to Honda but received no assistance with the problem.

I have had my Honda Civic for three years now. When I first saw this car it seems like every teenager's dream car. The remodel they did for the Honda was stylish and eye-catching. I had to have this car! The dealer Bob who I got the car thru was shady and misleading. He told me a price when I was test driving then when I was about to purchase my car went up 2,000. I will never purchase a car thru them ever again. When I first purchased the car drove smooth and easy. After a month after having the car the carpet in the back started coming up. I took it back to the dealer only for them to try and blame me or someone that has been in my car. After explaining to them no one drives or rides in my car. They decided to just replace the carpet. They kept my car a whole day to replace the carpet. Which was okay, because they paid for my rental car.

Earlier this month I experienced and issue with my windows and sunroof opening automatically overnight during a thunderstorm. I've spoken to service departments at two dealerships and the Regional Case Manager with HONDA Customer Service, who have all tried to blame me for this occurrence. Hundreds of dollars later I am being told that this is not covered under the warranty and the cost of repairs falls to my insurance. HONDA assumes no responsibility for the damages, cost of car rental or towing. Although a simple Google search was able to locate other customers with the same complaint, HONDA insist that this is an isolated incident. They have taken no ownership for the glitch or the inconvenience this has caused me. This is my first HONDA and probably my last because once they've got your money, they don't care.

Every time I have a light come on no one knows the issue. That really makes me want go on a road trip. I’d rather buy another manufacturer product after my nightmare. I’ve had power steering. Electric works don’t work. No one can find an issue. Come on now.

I bought a Honda Civic in 2017. I have had three incidents where multiple electrical things completely went out. Radio, Bluetooth, back up camera door locks, can't open my trunk (with the key fob or from the trunk button in the car), indicator lights on the dashboard. It's been repaired and happens again. All I get from Hamilton Honda in Hamilton NJ, is that "these cars are all computers now". Maybe, but I know no one else who has had these issues with a Honda, I got a lemon and this seems as if it will keep happening. The car is only two years old. I will never buy another Honda.

I had heard that Civic is very reliable, well mine wasn't. A few months ago the airbag was deployed when I hit a curb while parking; my acceleration and speed was not high however the Honda representative didn't show me the report and just said, "You had a high impact." Last Saturday interestingly I had a crash hitting a Lexus very hard from the front and no airbag was deployed. I had hurt my knees and right cage.

The paint used on the car was defective and began bubbling up, leading to rust. The company extended the warranty, but required that a local Honda dealer authorized auto body shop do the work. They painted over the defective paint, apparently, because within a year or so it was bubbling up and had rust underneath. I got an estimate from a local body shop but they insisted it had to again be a Honda dealer authorized auto body shop. I got that estimate which was 1/3 higher than the local estimate. I can't get the case manager to call me back, which is very frustrating after four weeks or so.

I purchased my 2014 Honda Civic in Sept 2018 with a new battery installed before I purchased it because the car didn't start when they wanted me to test drive it. So I told them that I will only buy the car if they installed a new one and they told me that they did. I had to get a new battery last week which costs me $214.00 which I consider to be a total rip off. A battery is suppose to last more than a year and they told me I had no warranty on it because they installed it and then sold me the car. I think that Honda should pay for the battery that I just got installed by them.

I started buying Honda Civics back in 2012. It's the first car that I can honestly say fit me like a glove. I loved my 2012 Civic so much that I upgraded 2 years later to a 2014 Civic. I literally called my sales agent and said I'll take a blue one. Everything I hoped would be upgraded was. 2 years after that, I went in to have my car detailed and the van driver asked why so I told him I wanted it to look brand new. He asked if I had seen the new Civics... I hadn't. So I looked... and bought the new one that very day. It was literally light years away from the previous one. This time I bought a Titanium Honda Civic. I received so many compliments on that vehicle. All throughout the 2 years I had it.

I own a 2016 Honda Civic Lx Coupe. This car was purchased new from Coggin Deland Honda. Recently, I had a turn signal bulb fail, so I went to my local parts store to purchase replacement bulbs. Below is the recommended bulb for the 2016 Honda Civic Lx Coupe. The recommended bulb for the 2016 Honda Civic Lx Coupe is the Zevo Mini bulb 7440A. However the only bulb that fits my 2016 Honda Civic Lx Coupe is the Sylvania 1157A which is for the 2000 Honda Civic Lx. It seems that my 2016 Honda Civic Lx Coupe has a wiring harness from 16 years ago. I have attempted to contact you at Honda Headquarters and asked why my 2016 Civic has a cut-rate wiring harness from 16 years ago, and what other parts might also be of a cut-rate nature on this car, but my contact has fallen on deaf ears.

I have Civic 2018. At first I had very bad experience at the dealership which is Garden State Honda in Clifton, New Jersey. The sales Consultant (Christian **) was very unprofessional. I had to complain to the manager so many times for his mistakes. He gave me hard time filing the papers. Then after only 6 months I started to have issues with the car. The battery died twice. When I went to the service the first time which is in Passaic, New Jersey they told me nothing wrong then the second time they said it needs to be changed.

I bought a new Honda Civic lx 4 door sedan in 2008. Loved the car but after 1 yr both sun visors cracked and just hung there. I had them replaced and same thing happened a yr later. I traded the car in 2010 for a 2011. Again the visors cracked and I had them replaced at the dealer. After a long argument as they wanted to charge me $250.00 to replace each one I mentioned I had written to Honda Corp. about this issue but I never got a response. I also told the dealer there was a lawsuit regarding the visors.

I got a brand new Honda Civic-Ext last year (2017) and I always used Honda dealership for regular services but every time they change engine oil it gets dark within 2-3 days and sometimes even earlier. Notified them 4 times on each service but they were like, "This is perfectly fine." I am driving from last 13 years and know how to maintain my car perfectly especially when it is a brand new. Went to third party to get it serviced and they were able to fix this issue in 1 minute. Got my car serviced even though I paid more than regular amount but at least I was able to know what the issue is. It is been 3 weeks now and my car engine oil is in good condition, not even a little bit brown. Why can't Honda do this when we as a customer pay them what they always asked and why there is no after sales service. NOt expected this from Honda.

We bought a Honda Civic brand new and with only 21,000 miles on it, it has been in the shop multiple times. Air-conditioner system had to be replaced, CD player in back up screen had to be replaced, Front Brake rotors needed to be resurfaced. Totaling approximately $5000.00 worth of repairs in less than 4 years. Never buy a Honda again.

I bought my 2015 Honda Civic brand new in April of 2015. It is now October 2018 and I have 325000 miles on this car. I'm still running with the factory exhaust, shocks, struts, alternator, water pump, etc... I'm on my second battery as I used up the first one. I didn't replace my brakes until around 225,000 as most of my driving is highway and I don't really use them. I replaced the serpentine belt at 200,000 and was told us still had wear left in it but honestly at 200,000 I was getting kind of nervous that I might be getting ready to go. So basically I change the oil every 7500 miles, the spark plugs every 100000 miles and the tires every 8 months or so... Aside from gas I'm good to go.

I have a 2016 Civic Touring with 40k miles. The infotainment screen goes awry since a month after I bought it brand new and I can't even access the heat/AC, back up camera, side camera, music, etc. I've brought it in a few times but the issue persists. Today they wouldn't even look at it because they can't replicate the problem. Other option was to pay over 100 dollars for a tech to look at it, most likely the tech would come to the same conclusion. They wouldn't even take the matter up the chain of command. How is Honda gonna know what is happening if they don't listen or watch the video I have of this continuous issue. I've researched online forums and many others have this problem. I hope Honda will one day fix this infotainment mishap.

Just do oil change, breaks, all other fluids & tires. I bought it with 29,000 miles on it & I have $175,000 on it now & still running in really, really good conditions as brand new. I have driven this car only for 3 years & have all these highway miles with 38 mpg. I love it. I only did synthetic or semi-synthetic oil change. Excellent car ever!!!

Hello all. I purchased a 2017 Honda Civic Sport in Championship White and the car is absolutely nice inside and out only exception Honda is failing their customers, I was driving home on 10/02/2018 from base and after a while vehicle lost power and smoke started coming out the exhaust and out of the engine bay so I pulled over quickly and out of traffic to the side of the road and as soon as I popped the hood open there was a small fire by the firewall. Within seconds the fire got out of control, if it wasn't for the water and rockstars and water I got from other motorists I wouldn't have extinguished the fire, the vehicle is at the shop now. I am awaiting the report as to how it caught on fire, proceed with caution as to other 10th generation owners are experiencing their cars randomly catching on fire.

I bought my 2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX brand new Sept 2013. The original battery still working. The ride is quiet and very comfortable. The car fills very strong. A/C works great and can very cold. I do recommend getting all the windows (except the windshield) tinted. Great car.

We are leasing a 2017 Honda Civic EX. Today at 5 pm, we were at Whole Foods and when we started the car to go home, it wouldn't start and the brake was on lock position. We called Roadside Assistance number and they told us it would take 70 minutes. I thought it was an awfully long time but hey, there was nothing we could do about it. At 6:30pm, I decided to call again (90 minutes later)... I am on hold for 15 minutes and the rep says she cannot locate the driver. She apologized and exclaimed it was ridiculous (you bet!).

I recently purchased my 2018 Honda Civic hatch and it is my first and probably only new car I will even experience, the dealer at Martin Honda, Newark Delaware started my sale when the sun was up but I didnt get to look it all the way over before dark. I didnt notice the faded paint spot on rear door rail, or the hairline scratches on the display screen, or the swirls that were noticed and documented the day after purchase, or the little hole in my seat that is only getting bigger, and now 8000 miles in when I'm in a slow acceleration or coast it feels as if someone is feathering the breaks... I have contacted the dealer, Honda, and anyone who I can leave a message or email for and, still no response. Thanks for the great experience Honda... awesome!
