Cream puff Civic
After hitting 3 deer, 2 fender- benders and 160,000 miles later my car keeps rolling. The only repair it's needed was a new alternator at 150,000 miles. It rides like it's new, the interior has held up beautifully and the clear coat is still as bright as it's ever been. Marvelous little car. I put on 2000 miles in my car a month. Strong transmission, quiet engine. Love this car.

Gets the job done!
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! **Update 8/19/20: Car is still performing well at 83,000 miles. I can't find the reason for the gradual drop in mpg to 31 over the past year. I've replaced spark plugs and cleaned the MAF sensor and throttle body. There are no codes being thrown. 31 mpg is still quite good, but it's just weird that this happened. Still very happy with the car. ***Update 8/19/21. Did a more thorough throttle body cleaning and the mpg improved to near-original level of 37mpg. Pennzoil 0w20 synthetic performs best of all oils I've tried in this car. ***Update 9/1/23*** Car still going strong at 109000 miles. Has some clear coat failure on roof and trunklid, but that's normal here in Hawaii. Very happy with my car, especially with how new car prices have skyrocketed lately. I wish I had the black interior instead of tan, but I had no choice at the time of purchase.

2013 Civic with 1120000 miles
Bought new in 2013. It has been a great car, super reliable. Avg mpg has been around 33. Only issue is clear coat started peeling off in spots. This car is garage kept and washed on a regular basis so feel that this is perhaps a factory issue. Another issue is thin metal. It doesn't take much to make a small dent but suspect this is with all compact cars nowadays. I do my own general maintenance which decreases cost of ownership significantly and is not that difficult. If your looking for general transportation that's reliable you can't beat a Civic.
