Ever since I bought this used I've had nothing but problems with sensor light system that keeps coming up tighten fuel cap and check emission system so I take it back to dealership they put on new gas cap no sooner I drive off lot sensors come on so I take back after paying up 200.00 for what? Now they say it needs purge valve another 245.00 for what? I drive off their lot, same thing happens then I call they say drive it for awhile and computer will click in hopefully sensors will turn off, yeah right. Now I'm distressed and fed up that this is not being resolved. Stay tune for continuing saga.

2013 Civic EX Coupe

I bought my 2013 EX Coupe because I was so impressed with the 2001 HX 5-Speed Coupe I had owned previously. That car had 352,000 miles and was still going strong, The boy I sold it to is still driving it to this day. It used a quart of oil every 1000 miles and the power steering leaked like a barrel full of holes ( I just pulled the belt and made a manual steering car out of it ), but the air still froze you out and it got 55mpg on the highway. Getting back to the 2013. It was sleek. The 2 door coupes look good to me, better than the 4 doors. The car I bought was used with 100,000 miles. It was an EX which meant it had alloy wheels, sunroof and the so-called premium radio which was far from premium. The best mpg I could get was around 43 in perfect conditions. Average mixed driving I got 34 which is not bad. The car is underpowered like most 4cyl cars with automatics. The interior was comfortable and the futuristic dash layout takes some getting used to. The steering and handling is as close to perfect as you can get in my opinion. If only the car had more power. I was very disappointed the car used oil like my 2001, about one quart every 1000 miles. The previous owner said he only used synthetic oils at the correct weight and changed it every 10,000 miles which I think is too long. I've read all the propaganda about oil changes going longer these days but my belief is this is the result of those long oil changes. I ended up selling the car after owning for less than a year. Went to a Toyota that doesn't use a drop of oil between oil changes. I really liked the Civic and think it would go 250k plus as long as you keep oil in it. The resell was great by the way. That is another good thing about Civics. I'm tempted to buy a low mile 2001-2005 5-speed coupe again, if I can find one.

Incredibly reliable and fuel efficient

2013 Honda Civic EX-L 4dr Sedan w/Navigation (1.8L 4cyl 5A)

I've owned this 2013 Honda Civic EX-L for nearly three years now, I started with approximately 35,000 miles and have accumulated around 55,000. In that time frame, the only maintenance I performed on it was routine. This included brake pads and rotors, cabin and air filter, regular oil changes, battery unit replacement and a transmission flush. Aside from that, Honda's reputation for reliability and fuel efficient has reigned supreme, I ordinarily receive anywhere between 33-35 in the city under normal traffic conditions and anywhere between 36-42 on the highway. The few criticisms I have is that the seat heaters on the EX-L model take quite a while to warm up, even after they've been powered on for 20 minutes. The front seats are leather and can be quite uncomfortable, especially when the weather is excruciatingly hot or frigidly cold. Also there is a minor delay when attempting to establish a Bluetooth connection. Other than that, I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Just purchased this vehicle used with about 71k miles on it. Seems to be running pretty good so far. Hopefully Honda reliability and dependability does not let me down.

Love this car

Bought this car brand new with 6 miles on it and it currently has 135,000ish. I needed a car which was great on gas and reliable and this was a home run. I drive 64 miles one way to work (128 total each day) and the car averages about 430 miles (all highway) on a single tank of gas. This car has never had one problem and I have done nothing to it except regular maintenance (oil and transmission fluid, tires, etc). The only thing I can even come close to complaining about is I wish the seats had more back support. This wouldn't be an issue if I didn't spend 2 hours a day driving and is an easy fix with a small pillow/towel.
