This is my second Honda and I regretted buying both. Our troubles started immediately with the A/C. The dealer replaced the compressor TWICE (Honda replacement parts are rebuilt!!) and then replaced almost every other part of the A/C system, including the 3rd compressor. I took it to another repair shop and they found a broken expansion valve, but the system failed again a short time later. I also had issues with the rear window lifts. After the dealer tried to fix the problem numerous times I finally called Honda HQ and they replaced both rear window registers. The paint on the top was beginning to wear off!! Gas mileage dropped from 32 MPG to less than 28 for no reason. I finally traded it in with just 11,000 miles for a new 2015 KIA Soul which we love.

2011 Honda Civic Hybrid 4dr Sedan (1.3L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid CVT)

Just yesterday I finally got rid of my 2011 Civic Hybrid. I had it for 6 months and hated every minute of it. Some people are going to think Im nuts trading a Hybrid in with gas prices the way they are. But I just couldnt take that car anymore. I didnt want it in the first place but when I was at the dealership, and the salesman talking me into it, with the good deal I got, I decided to go for it. Well it made me nuts.
One of the most Reliable Vehicles I have owned

I've owned a 2011 Honda Civic LX for about 2 years now, and can say without a doubt that it is the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned. I am a delivery guy and have owned many cars, most of which were not up to the task; this is the one car that has lasted the longest with the least amount of issues. I bought it with ~125,000 miles on the odo, and it is now at ~176,000 (50,000+ miles of harsh city miles). The only issues I have ever had with it are the typical ones that many have with this generation of civic: (1) rear wheel bearing, (2) cv axle, and (3) interior accessory problems (trip meter reset/MPH to KPH/Dash light dimmer switch fell apart, I was using this switch every day to reset trip meter). Other than that, just fluid changes, brake pads/rotors, tires, and a muffler replacement. As far as the car itself, it is fairly comfortable for what it is, I don't have any issues being 6ft tall. Acceleration is not bad for 4 cylinder NA engine and it handles pretty well in the corners. Enough space in the interior/trunk for me to take large catering orders without having to split them with other drivers. The ride is a little rough, especially noticeable when going over bumpy roads/speed-bumps, and you have to be careful with the front end (which is a bit lower to the ground) on large curbed driveways, as the splash shield will scrape the pavement if you don't pull in/out of these driveways slowly and at an angle. My biggest complaint is that the thickness of the A pillars create large blind spots, you HAVE to look around the pillars or you will end up in an accident. However, over time, this becomes second nature. All in all not a perfect car, but certainly the most reliable I have ever owned. Accelerates well and handling is quite good; interior/trunk space is adequate to handle large catering orders; car is pretty comfortable for the most part, although there are important things to consider when driving it. However, if you are in the market for cheap, reliable transportation, I think you will be impressed with this generation of civic like I was.

I just bought this to replace a 2006 Civic. The new body style is sharper, interior dash looks more advanced especially with the iMid display, love the mpg display. The car rides very good with smooth steering, however, the road noise can be high on roads with rough surfaces. The glove box and console storage compartment are smaller. I don't have near as much space to store things as I did in the 2006. Also, I don't have anywhere I can comfortable place my elbows (except in my lap) when driving. They have reduced the height of the center console storage box and pushed it further back. The door armrest is lower and further back as well. (con't)
