Great reliability and fuel economy

The 2013 Civic is a terrific little economy car with a very low cost of operation. I average over 40 MPG overall, But my mileage is very different from the factory rating. My Civic gets about 38 MPG city and about 50 MPG highway. My only complaint about this car is the lag time when the engine starts (e.g., at a stop light) to the time the car will move forward.

Had purchased a 2012 model with a 5 speed automatic, but after 3 yrs I just missed driving a stick so much. I sold the '12 to a family member and, because I loved the car otherwise, I found my '13 manual ex coupe and 4 yrs later, I am still very happy. Honda makes the best compact car manual trannys. The clutch and precision shifter are a joy, even in traffic! I wish people would all ditch their cvts and bring back the manuals! Improvements over my '12 are the two tone wheels, automatic climate control, back up camera, and nicer interior plastics. Gripes are the tiny toy car sized battery. Sit in your parked car listening to the radio for 90 minutes and the car won't start! Also, the R18 motor has no guts. I miss the SR20DE in my old Sentra which had the best of both worlds. Lastly, the bluetooth is buggy, sometimes failing to connect. I have to pull over and turn the car completely off, then on for it to pair. These are minor complaints as no car is perfect. I recommend this car, especially with a manual!

I love my purchase of the 2013 Honda Civic coupe. It had all my style needs and is also so nice to drive and it’s not hard on my wallet!! Definitely worth the purchase!

Paint rusting or chiping

Now I don't know much about cars but I havent had many problems from my car these last 9 years of owning it but the paint job on the car is my major issue. I've noticed after my first winter the paint started chipping around the door then the summer came and the roof, front of hood, and trunk looked like it was fading. My car is black so it definitely noticeable. Then Honda asked me to bring the car in so they can do I recall on paint around the door handles. They only did 1 handle which made no sense. Definitely noticed other black civic with the same problem as mines. And couldn't no one help me with trying to reach somewhere that could help.
