Wife purchased a used 2014 Civic with 40k miles from a rental company over a year ago. The ride comfort is almost as smooth as a mid size car. It is by far the best CVT car I've driven and still has good power and passing ability while getting insane fuel economy on the highway. We've averaged 40 mpg on vacations and it gets nearly 50 mph in ideal highway driving conditions (it has real time mpg data). No reliability issues so far, which isn't surprising for a Honda. Two main complaints are the utter lack of cup holders - only two for the entire vehicle - and it's the hardest car I've had to get in and out of, a combination of it's low sitting position plus a slanting roof line. Also not much rear passenger room and no rear cup holders. It's a nice car for a single commuter but not if you often have more than 2 passengers.

2014 Honda LX COUPE - THE LITTLE MISSILE

My car is the basic. It was all I needed for an economy commuter car. There are better Civic's out there if you want to pay more. Better technology, dashboard, radio, etc. I didn't need all that. Its a quick fun little car to buzz around in. It is a quiet ride, very tight too. Not a fan of the wipers intermittent feature, but I can live with it. I added an after market spoiler but in doing so, I had to move it back a bit so I could drill into the metal surface. The perfect car for high school graduate college commuter or adult commuter.

have about 12000 miles on my lx coupe after a year drove over 2000 miles one trip on it no issues . changed the oil myself and just put in a new air filter . used synthetic seems to be doing good have changed oil twice so far . wouldnt want someone "accidentaly" using wrong oil or telling me about problems that seemed to happen at the shop .. my only complaint is that a coulple times I have left the parking break on while using reverse ( guess brakes are still fine) would be nice if a better warning came on . but other than that it is a very nice car I have 17 inch rims on there with low profile tires

Very Uncomfortable Seats!

I've only had the car one month and my back is getting worse by the day. Have tried the seat repositioning and adding support cushions to no avail. I have one more orthopedic cushion on order to try. My husband's back went out after a 30 minute ride (he's 5'-10 and I'm 5'-4" - not overweight) and my 70-lb. 12 yr old niece also complains of back pain in this car. Leased through Honda Financial Service and they do not allow any transfers of leases (i.e. leasetrader or swapalease). After researching this further, many Honda seat complaints have been posted in recent years. (Oh - the dealer said they will take it back in a trade - at a $3000 loss to me!!) Update August 2017: Made it through a 3-year lease with this car. It was 100% reliable every day. To deal with the awful seats I purchased a "Bottoms Up Posture Seat", which helped a lot, and also used a lumbar backrest support. I am now leasing a 2017 Subaru Outback and the seats are comfortable for all of us, even without the added support.
