2012 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
I was in the market for an econo car and Edmund's site was a big help.
Narrowed down my selection to Jetta TDI, Elantra and Civic.
At the end of the day, went with Civic and can't be more pleased.
The car is VERY comfortable even for 6ft+ individuals.
I can't get over how well this thing rides.
I've owned a TL & MDX in the past and this car is a pleasure to drive!
Fuel economy is also … great.
I'm averaging 35+mpg to the tank on mixed driving.
I do spend a lot of time in traffic during my daily commute.
If you're look'n for a great econo car that drives well, is reliable you will not go wrong with selecting this car.
It's not flashy but gets the job done.

2012 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
I just got a new Honda Civic EX from Bergstrom in Oshkosh, WI.
They called me, suggested I come in and trade my 07 Honda Fit.
I went in,
and test drove the Civic.
I really noticed a couple of things immediately..the dash reminded me of the wonderful Mercury Cougar I had in 1990, and the ride was very similar...Quiet!
The dash features looked complicated, but the menu took me through it … all, and was not any harder than programming my cell phone.
Speaking of cell phone, the Blue Tooth hookup in the Civic not only worked first time, but every time I enter the car, it automatically hooks up.
I tested it with my wife in the car, watching the dash, and it mated when I was 40 feet away.
BUY IT
excellent car

2012 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
My wife and I purchased our EX sedan 4.5 months ago and we currently have 8500 mile on it.
We both love the car.
It drives well, it is quieter than our previous Hondas, and the fuel economy is excellent.
It is true that the interior has suffered from cost-cutting such as the dashboard, carpet, and roof liner.
However, I really don't touch the roof liner, our all season floor mats cover … up the carpet, and even though the dashboard is all hard plastic it still looks o.k. to me.
The stereo sounds pretty good and
the bluetooth phone connection is great.
I am very impressed with all the safety equipment that it has and the fact that it has great crash test results.

2012 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 5A)
My new 2012 Civic replaces a beloved 1995 Camry and it immediately felt as comfortable and solid as the Camry.
It handles well, is easy to drive, and gets 32 mpg in the city.
On a recent road trip, we fit in three adults with luggage, camping gear, and extras.
We got 38 mpg on the trip, and it was quiet enough to easily have conversations with our back seat passenger.
