2013 Honda Civic EX 2dr Coupe (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
30 of 30 people found this review helpful
I have now owned my 2013 Civic EX sedan for about a year. I initially had issues with seat comfort due to the aggressively tilted headrest but have fixed that by modifying it somewhat. I must say the car has performed flawlessly for the year I have owned it. It delivers a quiet, solid-feeling drive each day to work. Honda knows how to build a solid, easy to drive car unlike any other manufacturer. The "connected" feel of the driving experience is something only Honda really does well in this price range.

I have had my 2013 Civic EX Sedan now for over 6 months. I initially had trouble getting comfortable in the seat but now that I have adjusted the horribly forward-tilted headrest and found a seat height and steering wheel adjustment that works for me, I find the car comfortable for my daily commute. Other than that, the car is flawless so far and has that "Honda Feel" behind the wheel that only a Honda can provide in my experience - like its connected to you in someway and always seems to know what you want to do!

I like the two-tier dash and exterior/interior style. Gas mileage using econ o mode makes a hybrid unnecessary as it's not unusual for me to get 40-44 mpg mixed driving. Cold weather drives down the mileage tremendously. VERY unhappy with paint quality, it looks nice but every little rock from passing traffic will nick paint down to the primer. Also developed a plastic sounding rattling noise during certain mild wind conditions. My new car sounds like a rattletrap from inside. Three different dealers and a couple of friends have not been able to find the problem. Hope the lemon law applies. I live in the country and I have to switch to a truck during snow/ice, Civic will not stay on the road ,,not enough weight. It eats up rotors! Honda Motor won't even reply to my letter asking for reimbursement for awful rotors. My car also has the phone problem where no one can understand what you are saying due to excessive noise. Should be a recall for this.

I bought this Honda for one reason and one reason only: reliability. So In one year I have manged to clock 28,000 miles and have done nothing to the car outside of normal maintenance, which is great. I have been able to achieve 50 mpg with careful, skilled driving on a one off, fluke of a drive. I can routinely obtain 42 mpg with respectable driving and 33-35 mpg with a heavy foot. The brakes are not the best as I have locked them up a few times without noticing the ABS pulse from the pedal. Also, there is a blind spot from the roof pillar between the windshield and left door that is very annoying on mountain roads. Altogether, a good car and I'm happy I bought it.

Updated review (Nov 4, 2019): This is a dependable car. It takes me to all the local places I need to visit: grocery stores, barber shop, community pool, concert halls and the downtown restaurants. It is super reliable. My past two years' expenses were standard upkeep related: gas, oil change, new tires, front end alignment new battery and new brake shoes. I am going to keep it for at least two to three years. Several locals already expressed interest in buying it. I know I will get something back to put towards my next car. The following was written in 2017: I am updating my review after over 4 years of ownership. One very annoying problem is fatigue in my hands; the steering wheel is hard. Steering and turning on trips longer than a couple hours are punishing on older people. Imagine if I have arthritis, how much pain I have to endure. Now my wife drives and likes it because of the fuel economy. She ( 5 ft 2 in) complains about the rear view through the back window. She refuses to look at the rear camera and is technologically challenged. After driving long trips my back started to get stiff. A lower back support may be the next item I should try. I also added a seat support to reduce butt sore from long trips. Maintenance cost has been higher than average at the dealership. (Nov 4, 2020) My kid now drives this car. He likes it. I mbought a different car.
