The 2014 Civic Coupe LX seemed like just the right choice for me. It was listed at a local dealer sale for only 15,900 and I needed new transportation. I had 155,000 mile on the 2002 Honda Accord I was driving, after all. I travel 35 miles to work, making a 70 mile round trip to work and back home each day. So I needed a car with excellent gas mileage and good reliability. I think I found that in this Civic. The fit and finish is second to none in the class. The care feels more like a $20k plus vehicle. The seats are comfortable and the sound system is great. I am enjoying the hands-free Bluetooth feature for the safe answering of phone calls while driving. There are plenty of comp

Great car, cheap parts

I've always wanted a Honda civic because of the great reviews and good gad mileage. I get 35 city and 42 highway which is pretty great. I think the car overall is great, but there are some things I'm not a fan of. The Lx version only has 3 windshield wiper settings which is frustrating. Also the headrests sit too far forward, the interior seems pretty cheap, the Bluetooth is loud for those calling you, and the acceleration is kind of sluggish. My most recent problem though is the paint. I wax my car once or twice a month because I live in texas, and wash it almost every week. You'd think the paint would be in great condition. Wrong, after a year of owning the vehicle I have rock chips all over my hood. The paint is cheap and they won't cover it under any warranty. Overall a great car, but not worth the price tag

Glitchy Electrical System

I bought this car 2 years ago Pre-owned with 32k miles on it. I haven’t even driven 20k miles since purchasing the car. I remember going way back to when I purchased the car, my check tire pressure light came on frequently (it still does) in a change of temperature or altitude (always happens on the same highway!! Weird!). Because I’m paranoid, I always check the tires when this comes on. They’re always fine. I recalibrate TPMS system myself and the light always goes away. However, strangest thing happened yesterday. I was in middle of 3 hour drive and I stopped at a rest stop to use bathroom. Came back out and started car and so many lights came on all at once, out of the blue (check brakes, ABS, VSA, Hill start, power steering, TPMS, and probably another one I’m forgetting). Of course, I freaked out (I have nightmares that this happens!). Highway assistance came and said the car looked fine, looked like computer problem. Drove it rest of way (1 hour) and it was fine. The next day we took to a mechanic and he said it was likely due to extremely low battery in car. He put new battery in. I’m surprised the battery was already low considering the fact I bought the car just over 2 years ago and haven’t even driven 20k miles on it. The car was used when we purchased and mechanic said the original battery was in the car- which means the car dealership didn’t even bother to put in a new battery when I bought it.. ugh! So anyway, the car should be fine now, fingers crossed. However, all these lights keep coming on. The mechanic wasn’t a Honda dealership and in order to get these lights to go away, I have to go to a Honda dealership to have computer system reset. This is important to me because since these systems come up as in need of being checked, the car will disable the system that is labeled as need of being checked (for example ABS will not work now until light it cleared away). Too scared to drive car on highway until it gets reset. I’m very frustrated with how sensitive this car is!

Bad Wheel Bearings and Tire pressure sensors

Wheel bearings will wear very quickly! Within 60,000 miles, the front left wheel bearing was faulty. Replaced, and within another 25,000 it was bad again! Replaced again. Within 6 months of replacing the second time, it was faulty AGAIN! Very expensive over time, and extremely dangerous to drive on if it’s worn out. Apparently, it’s common in 2012-2015 year models. Also, the tire pressure sensors on this car are AWFUL! The wheel bearing issue causes the tires to wear extremely unevenly. Should have been a noted recall by Honda.
