Used 2012 Honda Civic Sedan Consumer Reviews
Five stars with an asterisk
In the 8 years of ownership of our 2012 Civic, the vehicle has operated reliably and without issue. Averaging 12K miles a year, we have maintained the vehicle as recommended (regular fluid changes, tire and battery replacement) without need for additional service or attention. Power and acceleration, passing power and fuel economy sufficient. Actual 28 city/32 highway. Cabin noise and occupant comfort are the negatives. Loud droning road noise is irritating, regardless of tire choice...and seats are hard and narrow for me personally (6’/185)...which is essential for the amount of travel I perform. This is my fourth Civic since the mid-80’s...with the 1985 still being the best of all four.

150 HP Gas Saver
This car has ample cargo room and takes the load it bears over mountains, going from 5000 ft elevation to 1000 in half an hour, with ease of power. Yep, to get to town or work, thats what I climb or descend, so HP is very important. I have not had any repairs in 90K miles of driving it. I have changed my own oil, coolant, and transmission oil with no struggle. I sometimes wear earplugs to listen to my radio on my phone and so I have to cut off the bluetooth on the counsel.....because road noise is the downside and have replaced tires every 40K just trying to improve the ride and get some silence, but even premium tires cannot make the ride quieter.so Honda has room for improvement but overall, what a gas saver...

Perfect commuter car
PROS: Nice and sleek look, feeling of a full control of the car. It's nice to take sharper turns. Inside plenty of room not only or the front seats but for the back 3 passengers. Great gas mileage - makes up to 40 mpg even in congested traffic conditions. I have had it for 2 months already and very happy with the purchase. CONS: Compared to my prior car 2006 Elantra it is a little more bumpier and you can really feel every hole on the road and bumps on parking lots have to be taken at under 4mph.
A five star vehicle
I have a new Honda Civic EX for about two months now and its been a great car. Very happy with the way its drive and no blind spots , very easy to see out all around the car while driving it. Its very comfortable to drive and great seats. Its really good on gas and I have been getting 31 to 33 mpg in the city and its all mostly city driving with some stops. Can't wait to see what its gets on the highway. I got a silver one and I really like the color silver because its does'nt show very much dirt and its a nice color. Overall its a very nice car that why I rate it five star.
Love My Civic EX
I purchased my 2012 Civic EX last May, and I love it! It is a zippy ride, and I get compliments on the appearance of the car all the time. I had a "08 Civic and loved it too, but the new technology in the new Civics is great. Drive one....you will like it and the reliability and resale are awesome. You can't go wrong with a Civic!
