Used 2011 Honda Civic Consumer Reviews
Mostly satisfied
I have owned this 2011 Civic EX for a year now. I have to say that I am "mostly" satisfied. I really do enjoy driving the car. I think I would like the Civic SI a lot more, because I have a lead foot, but I probably wouldn't like the decreased gas mileage. I love the way the car handles and the car has adequate power in most situations. I really don't notice the road noise until I go above 65MPH. On a recent weekend trip, the road noise at 80MPH on the interstate was tiring after a while. I have also experience a wide variety of gas mileage figures. A recent interstate run at around 80MPH resulted in 25MPG. The best i have achieved is 32MPG. The gas mileage is worse when I use cruise control
Another fantastic Civic
This is my third Honda Civic. It's actually a Canadian SE model, which is essentially an Si Sedan with a standard black interior and 1.8L SOHC VTEC engine. It came with standard 16" 5-spoke alloys, sunroof, chrome exhaust finisher and iPod interface. My 1996 and 2004 were both fantastic cars, and the 2011 is no exception. It's bigger, roomier, more comfortable, quieter and more refined, upscale and attractive looking.

A Quirky but Loveable Little Car
I'll start off by saying that I'm reviewing the Civic as an economy sedan, not a sports car. First, the Civic is fun to drive. It's actually a blast to drive - more so than my old Pontiac Grand Am GT was, with its 3.4L V6. Second, it's laughably cheap. No, I don't mean that it didn't cost a lot, because it did - I mean that a fill-up generally costs somewhere around $30. A side note about the fuel: with spirited driving, I still get around 30mpg. I'm anxious to take a long road trip in my Civic. Third, it's quirky. That isn't necessarily a bad thing. The gas pedal is mounted in the floor, which will require a bit of a learning curve, but it isn't anything too serious. Also, the horn...
Great car....mechanically
Unless you get a great deal avoid the EX-L model. After 3 years of ownership the front leather seats started to crack. The genuine imitation leather on the door armrests and center armrest started peeling and bubbling. Other than the cheap interior the car has been great. I have had no mechanical issues whatsoever. I no longer own this car as I traded it for a new Corolla.

CIVIC STILL GREAT 8 YRS
Overall this has been a great car. First three years were on lease, then purchased it off my lease. Great dollar value for the amount of features in the EX model. Sound system with the subwoofer and automatic loudness compensation works well. Very reliable transportation, and fun to drive with the 5-speed manual. Exterior finish has held up extremely well. Three known problems with this model are the sun visor, the third brake light, and the passenger side motor mount. The motor mount problem should have been addressed by a recall, but this model year was not. Passenger side TAKATA airbag was replaced with a recall. For one or two people this is a fantastic value. Back seat is small for normal sized humans, tough to get in and out of with the 2-door coupe.
