Used 2010 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Okay Car
Traded my V6 VW Passat GLX for this Honda. The reason I was looking for something more reliable and fuel friendly. As expected performance was much different than what I am used to. Felt light but handling was okay. after 2 weeks of driving it gives me about 29 m/g which is really nice. I went for EX-L full option trim which I kind regret since it came to 24K and the car still does not feel luxurious. For that price I think I could got better but too late and it was my fault.
Class act
After being away from Honda for a few years, it is nice to be back. I had always thought the Civic sedan looked really cool, but didn't realize just how good of a design they actually have. Smooth ride, easy to drive. I don't notice the road noise lots of others talk about. The car feels very stable and well put together. For a smaller sedan there is quite a bit of room in the back--I don't remember the car being that big back when I had a 91 Civic in college. The dash and gauges are very modern and it looks like a little cockpit. I like the 2- level gauge set up. Huge trunk. Great gas mileage. Easy to park. It is hard to go wrong with one of these.

3 Strikes
The Civic drives well, but the seats are horrible. Don't expect the backup lights to illuminate anything. The front of the vehicle is too low, don't even think about getting close to a curb. Mileage isn't bad, but not as good as my previous Corolla.
Time for a change
Also have a 2006 civic ex bought used three years ago. Happy with it so just traded our other car for a new 2010 ex. Now we have to civics, on the new models they did away with the sound pads in the engine and trunk so now you see bare metal. In 4 years the two cars are almost identical, the new one has a usb connector on the radio and new steering wheel, otherwise can't tell them apart. Also if you have a brand new one make sure you check closely specially on the roof for paint defects that you can see through the clear coat (Google it) my 06 also had them and now they look like sore spots. Took it back to the dealer body shop so that there will be a record for future claims.
second but not last civic
I sold my 2001 Civic LX and purchased the EX Model because I wanted a sunroof. I am amazed about how big the interior it is and I keep reminding my friends that it is 'just a civic'. I went from a manual to automatic and it feels so nice to drive and I love the steering wheel. I feel it is slow going up hills from start but it is a big car and only 140 horsepower so it is a small price to pay.
