Used 2013 Honda Civic Sedan Consumer Reviews
Fun to drive
Easy to park, responds immediately to commands (better than my cat!), the front of the car looks like it’s smiling. Comfortable for rear passengers.
She's a Good Little Car
I am already on 203k miles after years of highway driving only for about the first 5 years of her life, I finally had to get breaks, spark plugs and transmission fluid service. She's done me well and will hopefully last another 203k miles.
Great car can be better
Honda did a great job on this Civic. They fixed the inadequatcies that Consumer Reports pointed out. Fit and quality excellent. For those that feel the ride noisy, upgrade to the EX. The noise is from the cheaper tires on the LX. This is true with all the Honda line up. Blue tooth works great, navi and radio excellent. Good ride quality, 36-38 MPG HW at 65-75 mph. Overall 29-31 mpg, even with my wife driving...she only know to accelerate or brake..nothing inbetween. 4 wheel disc brakes stop the car very quickly compare to disc/drum combo. I've heard some complaints about the seats, I find them very comfortable. The Hyundi elantra has 2 big blind spots, Honda does not. After 42kmiles, No problems. Put gas in, change oil rotate tires. Ave mpg 32.8. 51 k update No problems, voice recognition on navigation is pretty useless. The navi doesn't recognize a lot of commands, but it gets me to where I want to go. Transmission fluid changed oil changes, new tires and gas have been the only costs.

Love my EXL
I had a 2007 CRV EX with leather, it had 111,00 miles on it and the extedned warrany was up. My salesmen was in the service department I had ot leave the CRV overnight for a warranty repair. He called me the next day with a great deal and I could not pass it up at all. Its a 2013 Civic EXL brand new it was a left over from the model year.
Ford Focus may have the hatchback, but Civic has overall better value
I test driven the 2013's Elantra GT, Mazda CX-5, Focus SE hatchback (hb) and Civic Ex. It finally came down to the wire between the Focus and Civic.... I thought over the need of a hb, and seemed compelling at first, I don't recall needing to haul a lot of stuff last several years, and if I did I rented a van a couple of times from Home Depot. Next, the hb looks nice, but reduces the rear viewing area. Overall, I felt the Civic has improved significantly. MPG, long term cost of ownership, features and styling matters to me. The 2013 Civic nails them in pretty well. I'm giving it a 4 star on value, since it now cost a little more after Ford's recent $2,500 factory incentive.
