Sunroof is worth going to EX. Uphill acceleration not good but bad using eco setting. Eco setting very worth it. Easy to use cruise control

uncomfortable seats

It took a few days to realize how uncomfortable the front seats are in this car. I tried to trade it back in, and was told I would take a $3k loss. They also wanted me to pay full sticker on the new car. I would not recomend Ocean Honda of New Port Richey(Florida). I chose this car for the reliability and mpg. If it wasn't for the seat, I would love this car.
Not suited for long term rides.

I like the car over all, 74k miles and counting, no leaks or glitches so far. I drive it hard since I work with two ride-sharing companies. The biggest drawback is the space in the backseat and the lack of setting to get the driver seat just right. I do love the fuel economy, the eco button only means you have to break harder but I don't see significant savings on gas, which is a lot to say for a car that fills up with $22.00 bucks or less and drives for up to 500 miles HWY. (I done it). The only thing I would change on the car is the legroom in the back a couple of extra inches would've been great and again the driver seat. I spend about 10 hours a day in it and believe me, is not a ride in the park.

I have a 2013 Honda Civic EXL I purchased a year ago. I love this car as a joy to drive and have done only oil changes and the only thing I dislike is the lack of a lumbar support in the driver’s seat. Reliable and good on gas. This is my first Honda, scored perfect on this Civic.

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

We brought this car at the end of 2016. It was a 2013 EX PZEV certified pre-owned. It is almost new inside and out. The cabin noise is very low, almost quiet with the fan off even at highway speeds. The acceleration for merging is more than adequate, the handling fantastic. This model did not come with navigation but has 2 usb, and an aux port. The back seats are roomier and comfortable than a kia or mazda. The outward visibility is the best. I am averaging 27-28 mi/gal in the city.

bought this car new. first 3 to 4 years were pretty much trouble free, then we noticed rust spots on the hood that have gotten worse. also the tpms had to be replaced on all 4 wheels and the screen cant be cleared, after 5 attemps we just have to live with it. there is a dust cover that has to be removed to change oil. it somehow works its way loose and drags the pavement. i complained to the dealer and they admitted it was a design flaw. but still charged me to replace it.for my overall experience with honda i will advise anyone who asks to stay away from honda vehicles!

I liked my daughter's 2011 EX model & decided to check-out the 2013 EXL for myself. Although her car was nice/fun to drive, this new model is significantly better in all areas. After two months, I'm more than satisfied ... Good Job Honda!

I bought a Honda Civic 6 months ago and it changed my life to be honest, it a was truly a great car! It changed my life and saved my life at the same time. I was in a car accident after 5 months of having it and everybody that showed up for the accident such as fireman’s, ambulances, police, and even had a a helicopter on the way because it was a pretty big accident... well they all said it was a miracle I came out of the car alive. Everything about the car was ruined, the car was totaled! I enjoyed the car for the short time I had it and even put some money in it so it could look nicer. I guess I loved that car and now I’m careless and it drags me down because I used to have a job but after my accident I could not get to work so I lost my job soon after. I could really use 100$ every little bit helps. I know for one thing, my next car will definitely be a Honda! They are slick, great on gas, and safe. - Yourry

I got my 2013 Civic LX from my grandpa in September of 2018 and it only had 10,700 miles on it. Now, as of August 19, 2019, i just hit 55,000 miles and I’ve beaten the hell out of this car. I sometimes shift to neutral as I roll by slow drivers and rev at them. If people tailgate me, I move my shift to D2 to slow down and piss tailgaters off. I drive hard and fast. To this day, no issues whatsoever and it runs like its brand new, when all my other cars, which were the same year all 2013’s, would have major issues after only having them for a few months. I do my oil changes whenever the “service due soon” light comes on. But after putting 45,000 miles on a car in 11 months, I don’t think any other car would have made it this long. This little claustrophobic car is the most reliable car I’ve ever driven. Now I don’t drive this thing like a crackhead anymore but with the way I used to drive it, I’m impressed at how this thing still runs perfectly

The Honda product is generally, well, you know, hard to beat, right? I own this car now. I am so very disappointed. If they could remake the 1997 Honda Civic EX 5-speed with the Exact same materials they used back in 1997, that would make me very happy. Keep dreaming, right? I Miss the Old Cruise Control. The 2013 is OK, but the 1997 Cruise Control I liked much better. I Miss the Old Moon Roof on the 1997. This 2013 is not superior at all. The 1997 Moon Roof was superior because I could control the width and the placement of it was absolutely PERFECT. Not so on 2013 model. It's like I don't even have a moon roof, really.....

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.

I really liked this car when I first got it. I don't drive very much, it's 7 years old and only 60,000 miles on it. The starter was bad from the beginning and had to be replaced and is now not working quite as well again. It's a very loud car, rattles and makes funny noises. I've talked to a mechanic before, he said nothing is wrong, they just get loud over time. I've never had a car that was fine and be so loud. It sounds like something is wrong but isn't. I have been very good about maintainance and followed the recommendations in the car manual, it says to change the transmission fluid every so many miles, which I did, but when they changed it they said it smelled burnt and asked if I was having any trouble with the transmission. I haven't been but it may have damaged it, they recommended changing it more frequently, which makes me mad because I was trying my best to keep up on the car so it would last for a long time and now I'm wondering how much I'm going to end up spending on it. Should have bought a Toyota Corolla.
Great value car

Battery replaced and it took a while for the gas mileage to return to expectations. I am now happy to report that MPG is about 42 MPG once again. I now have 75000 miles on the car because I drive much less since retireing. UPDATE: Fantastic trouble free car that is fun to drive and fun to save. After years, 80,000miles, my gas mileage remains high, more than 40 mpg.

The ride is comfortable. The noise level is reduced tremendously. Rear Windows -don't like feeling like I own a Dodge Avenger. Prefer a temp gauge-not icons. Get rid of split level dash board!! Get rid of digital speed. Prefer Odometer to include *simultaneously* Total Miles Driven & Trip Miles. Poor Sun Visors-Poor quality. Poor Interior vinyl quality-cheap quality. Exterior Paint--Poor Quality. Prefer key hole on Passenger Door & Trunk. Hood construction is odd-- don't care for the leaf trap or sensors. Need a junk trap under the Hand Brake. Need more space on door panels. All of the AC Buttons/AC Unit/Design is a Hazard (to me)
