'07 Civic LX Sedan Review

I agree the headrests are painfully forward (but I guess that's to help in a crash. May try the Accord headrest swap, thanks!) Road noise on certain surfaces, otherwise nicely quiet. Getting 28 mpg on my 60/40% city/hwy commute. Good handling (0.81g!) on Eagle RS-A tires. I like the surprisingly quick steering ratio for an econo-sedan. The digital gauges do work well - you can keep your eyes on the road ahead while checking speed/temp/gas. Accelerates quickly enough, esp. considering the fuel economy. Headlights work well with wide even light pattern and flat European cutoff.

I bought my Honda Civic and it is a great dependable car .Drives nicely and handles well in snow with winter tires as it is not good for Alberta snowy winters wth all season tires I have only 93,000 Kilometers about 65,000 miles and the car is just great. Only one long trip of about 2,000 miles to Great Falls and back to St.Albert, Alberta in Canada. Tires with purchase were of poor quality and I replaced them with Bridgestone Ecopia tires and the car handles better than new. I like the car as mine is black and other than a few dingles which I had detailed out for $275 and car looks like new . Visor had to be replaced on warranty I nh Bridgestone Ecopia tires and the car handles better than new. I like the car as mine is black and other than a few dingles which I had detailed out for $275 and car looks like new . Visor had to be replaced on warranty . and nothing else other than tires. Great gas mileage and handles extremely well. Since my last review I now have 79000 Kilometers or 50,000 miles as of July 30,2016 and the car is still awesome . I use synthetic oil and have my changed the transmission fluid as the car is 9 years old. Still a good car and I intend on keeping it as long as possible. I Had to replace the coil springs for $1100 Canadian $800 Us at 80,000 or 50,000 miles so the reliability is not as good as advertised .Other than that the car is excellent! car now now at 94000 Kilometers 65,000 miles and car is still excellent . The ten year warranty on the motor elapsed in March of 2017 because engine problems with 2007 motors the warranty was extended to 10 years which now expired. Thought about replacing the car after engine warranty expired in March but decided to keep it as the car is terrific.The potential engine failure has bothered me all the time as i thought Honda engines were bullet Proof when i bought and consumer sights always highlighted the engine failures with my particular motor . Always a worry as i don't want to replace the car as it is in such good shape and is very low mileage so i keep it hoping the engine doesn't fail and i will have to buy a new car and i am a senior who doesn't drive much. Compared to my wifes 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT cab which require annual maintenance of car is about $1000 per year which i think is not good. It is August 28/2018 and the car is in very good condition body, paint and mechanically . I drive it mostly for short trips and the car performs flawlessly. Going to keep it as Maintenance is virtually nil , Oil and gas and winter summer tire changes. is all that is required.Best car i have owned from a driving perspective and reliability as i have had some real dogs .Heartically, The Honda civic is a very good car from all aspects. I am nearing 100,000 Kilometers or 65,000 Miles have 116000 Kilometers or 80,000 miles and the car runs great .Almost like new.Has been a great car and it is small but fairly roomy for the driver and passengers. i will say compared to my wifes Chevrolet Trailblazer year 2005 which is our highway car but it takes a lot of repairs compared to the Honda. Car is basically bullet proof so far and it is getting old but stays together both reliability and the overall interior and exterior both are in great shape as the Honda is used by son and I and is constantly on the move mostly local driving.Starts when left outside in the cold during the day in -40 Centigrade in Canada which is also -40 in Fahrenheit in the US so it is bitter cold here this winter. Rate the car the best car i have owned in my life as it is cheap to operate on gas and doesustn't take any repairs other than regular maintenance and still looks good for and old car but with low mileage still as it is an in town run around car basically . Just had a oil change and front brakes done again as it is stop and go driving with little highway driving.

Car ride is good , it's very reliable. Maintenance is easy and cheap. I have driven 152000 miles. Few issues I had were visor replacement, speaker replacement and after 8 years exterior paint job. I was expecting more out of Honda but I think Toyota, kia, hyundai, Mazda are also great choices. Honda needs to improve to differentiate itself.

Great, dependable car

I purchased my 2007 Civic with 80k miles in 2012. I just traded it in with 126k miles, for a brand new Civic. I bought a new one because I didn't want to take a chance at having any mechanical issues down the road. However, while owning my '07 Civic I never had any unusual or unexpected repairs, besides my starter going out at 110k. It was a great car, no complaints.
