Perfect commuter car

2012 Honda Civic DX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
PROS: Nice and sleek look, feeling of a full control of the car. It's nice to take sharper turns. Inside plenty of room not only or the front seats but for the back 3 passengers. Great gas mileage - makes up to 40 mpg even in congested traffic conditions. I have had it for 2 months already and very happy with the purchase. CONS: Compared to my prior car 2006 Elantra it is a little more … bumpier and you can really feel every hole on the road and bumps on parking lots have to be taken at under 4mph.
It speaks for itself

2012 Honda Civic DX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
Honda's have always been known for their reliability, when you take care of it, it will take care of you... I love my Honda! This car has a great looking interior and exterior regardless of other opinions, people are just snobby! The gas milage is amazing, and the eco option makes it even better. The trunk is not small, unless those who are complaining want to fit a few bodies into it, … lol.
Everything about this car is wonderful. I would suggest it to anyone looking for a reliable car!
CNG Automobile has carpool access

Honda Civic performance is excellent, but CNG vehicle carpool access is awesome for a commuter.
Eleven Years with no major issues!

2012 Honda Civic DX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
This is a mechanically great, peppy little car. The seats aren't too bad and adjust for a 5'7" driver to a 6'1" driver comfortably. We've owned the car 11 years and has a little less than 200K miles.
Other than routine maintanence, battery, tires, brakes, oil changes every 3K-5K miles we never had any issues....until now. The oil light has come on and the engine isn't getting oil. … We stopped ASAP so hopefully no catastrophic damage but it looks as if the oil pump has failed. That is dissappointing as it has been well maintained. We'll find out soon if the repairs will cost more than the car is worth. Otherwise, it has been a great car.
