Used 2010 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Fun and Exciting to Drive!
I love waking up every morning to drive my car. Honda is known for its comfortable design and reliability! Other than a slightly uncomfortable front seat on long trips, this car is the perfect car for me. It has a modern design with an extremely ergonomic gauge cluster that lets me keep my eyes on the road. I've never been let down by it's fast and steady acceleration entering the highway or going up a hill. Extremely great on gas, and other than the regular maintenance it never needs anything.

Hands down, best value for my hard earned money. Solid build quality top residual value in its class a true winner
Rear Suspension Problems
This is my 4th Civic. The 1998 Civic ex was the best. Still running with 280k miles on it. Both my 2004 civics had Cylinder head gasket problems, one at 127k, the other at 214k. I have 80K on my 2010 civic lxs. It's comfortable, has pep, and gets 38mpg. My one complaint is a big one. The rear struts are basically non existent if I have two adults in the back seat. The car bottoms out on small bumps. It's truly frightening, and loud. You'd have to experience it for yourself. Oh, and I drive highway only miles. I believe that Honda quality has been going down steadily since '98. I'm probably going for a Toyota or Nissan next.
17,000 mile update
Well something went wrong with the civi ex coupe, a strut joint of some sort went bad at 15,000 miles and was replaced no charge, only took a couple of hours and they said it was unusual. I am a car guy, oner 50 cars and have this civic coupe and 2010 crv ex as well, my wife and i swap so i don't get bored with either. I keep trying other cars, sportier, and more frugal ones as well. The civic coupe gives you a bit of both, it is prety frugal when driven properly and can be 30 city and upper 38 plus highway no problem. It can be sporty to but not a sports coupe like an si or miata which i have had, but it gets far better gas millage than those two. a fun good looking car !
Very disappointed with Honda
There is a major defect with this car's clear coat. It peels everywhere. Honda is fully aware of this issue but although they extended the warranty for this issue, they failed to notify owners. I only heard about it from a body shop. They suggested I contact Honda. I called only to find out the extended warranty had expired so they would not help me in any way. I have estimates of $600-1000 just to repaint the roof. The hood has a large bad spot and the trunk is rough looking too. I may eventually need to repaint the entire car. I have owned Hondas for about 25 years. This has soured me so much that I will neither purchase nor recommend another. I may not even keep the one I have. I have personally seen this issue on several Civics in multiple colors. Some in better and some in worse condition than mine. I am disgusted with Honda that they do not stand behind their products. I can only say if there is a defect with their paint and they were aware of it, it shouldn't matter how much time passes. It's not like it will go away on its own. I don't feel it's fair to pass their problem onto me and make me pay for it. It's their mess, they should clean it up. Very disappointed. Update: I spent $4500 to repaint almost the entire car. Only the doors and side mirrors are untouched. Only because cheaper than buying a new car and is still mechanically sound. But I will still buy a different make for my next car. I'm done with Honda. Update 2 - still have car but needed new alternator. Now needs something for AC. Only blows heat. Buying a Ford soon.
