Excellent commuter car

I needed a commuter car and did lots of internet research, and it came down to the Mazda3 or this Honda, but the Toyota corolla would have been a fine choice as well. The mazda3 had better mileage and was a sportier driver, but the seats were hard and uncomfortable for me putting my thick wallet in my hip pocket. The Honda seats are way more comfortable and the ride is a tad softer. It is a well made car with great fit and finish, moreso than I would expect (last econobox I bought was 15 years ago). ######## March 2017 update- still a great car getting 36mpg overall, 42mpg on the highway! Still love the car. My only complaint after a year of owning is that the nav system could be much better. The touch screen will send you no where near the spot you put your finger on sometimes, very aggravating. the traffic updates are great however. ######## Sept 2019 Update- I still on the car now with over 50,000 miles on it and it is still going strong and reliable as ever the drivers door lock mechanism failed but other than that I have had zero problems. I am still getting gas mileage on the highway in the 40 mile per gallon range. I couldn’t be happier with the car ######### March 2022 update Still happy with the car. Getting great gas mileage and no repairs. Over 100k miles and sailing along. Most reliable car I have ever owned. ########% March2023. Still a fantastic little car getting 38 miles a gallon with absolutely no mechanical difficulty whatsoever. I will never sell it.

Must be used to Driving an Accord

I'm very surprised at the consistently high reviews of this car, to be honest. Perhaps I'm just used to the ride of an Accord, after owning three consecutive Accords (1993, 2001, 2010), but I can't seem to get over the fact that I feel every bump in the road in this car (2015 EX-L w/navigation). Perhaps there's a suspension or tire inflation issue with mine, but I didn't imagine buying a new car and feeling bumps driving over even painted crosswalks. Radio and heat controls are not intuitive (again, possibly just based on experience with Accords). Nice enough looking car, especially for a Civic, but will definitely be unloading this car once it is paid off in a few months, after owning Accords for an average of close to 15 years each.

EPA mpg VERY misleading

I own a 2004 Honda Civic EX which gets very very good mileage, STILL. Just recently purchased (09/2015) the 2015 model, and it is much worse in terms of gas mileage. I loved Honda up until this. I have no bad words for Honda, but this just sucks in terms of quality. I am averaging 24-26 mpg in the city, and that is with grandma type driving. I purposely have been driving that way, to test the mileage accurately. Update (08/2016): We noticed the navigation system is just awful, after multiple attempts at use. The gps does not work properly in relation to the navigation, because it will give you locations of items in states thousands of miles away. If you don't search under the proper category, you will not find your desired item. Basically, you need to know the proper category to search for each destination. Also, the sirius xm radio has too many dead areas within a large metropolis. It could also be a problem with the car's system or antennae. Overall, the ENTIRE computer system that handles the navigation and entertainment is SLOW SLOW SLOW. As for mileage, it seems to have gotten a little better. However, it's still not on par with the ratings on the sticker.

The phone reception is not very good. People always complain when I'm on speaker phone. Bad reception.

Nice drive for the price but need improvements

Biggest drawback is the controls on the navigation system and audio system needs improvement. Who ever did the usability missed the basics on it.
