Nicely priced but question the factory MPG for CA

Your review of the Honda Civic Ex sedan automatic mpg. It is false and so far presentation of the information is at best misleading in the state of California. I have almost 5,000 miles on a 2013 Honda Civic EX and I have yet to average 29 miles city and highway. I have used the car's on board computer which seems to inflate the actual mpg and then manual calculations of what I filled the tank in number of gallons to cross check. While like the civic my main reason for buying the gas only verse hybrid model was that the gas model was supposed to get 38 mpg. When I asked the Honda sales and service folks what was going on I was getting mixed messages. One, wait until the engine is broken in.

Owned my car for 4 years (2016-2020) she had dents and a couple chipped windows (let’s call it character) 😂 but I just had a baby and needed something bigger than the 2 door .. upgraded to the crv NEVER had any problems with it.. only replaced the tires and the wiper blades on that car .. not bad for putting over 80k on her.

Terrible Paint - Even Worse Customer Service

This is the Honda that finally broke me of my Honda habit. Had more rock/stone chips in 6 months than my VW GTI did in 6 years. Their paint quality was comparable to what you might find from a cheap paint shop. My professional body and fender guy examined the car and told me the paint job was obviously bad from the factory. When I called Honda "Customer Service" they basically told me to shove it. I can't speak to the quality of their current vehicles, but I understand paint issues continued to plague the cars for models of that era - research it online. If you take pride in the appearance of your vehicle, just DON'T BUY A USED HONDA from the mid 20-teens. I ended up selling the car at a substantial loss out of pure frustration, and I'm so glad I did. I remember reading that Honda's mechanical reliability was slipping as well. It was such a shame to see what WAS a rock solid brand for decades losing its way. Hope they have found their way back, but based upon my own consumer experience I will never spend my cash on that brand again. I highly recommend everyone do their research before purchasing new.

New Hybrid runs well but head restraints are a pain

I just purchased a new 2013 Civic Hybrid. The vehicle only has 500 miles on it so far, so there isn't much to tell yet. Averaging 44.5 mpg, which is a little less than my 2003 model, but definitely acceptable. Color is supposed to be green opal metallic, but it just looks blue to me. I'm a little unsure of all the electronics on the new model. In general, our electronic gadgets only last a couple of years, and I expect to drive this car for much longer than that. I'm concerned that Electronic components in a vehicle can be VERY expensive to replace.

Quality Car - Saves money on repair and fuel

it looks really "sharp" for being "just" a civic and I never had any issues with it in 3 years besides regular maintenance.
