Known Glitchy Navigation & Pairing Issues!

Known issue with Android Pairing & Navigation Screen that flashes constantly when the car is started ... have to put the car in reverse to make it stop! WTH! Superstition Springs Honda Dealer doesn't know if the right hand and the left hand are connected. Dealer says originally a fuse and it happens, service says never heard of it before, internet knows about it Honda doesn't fix it! Android Pairing DOESN'T WORK!!! Say it's a Samsung issue ... I think Samsung is somewhat popular brand ...

I have taken my car too the dealers ship in yuma az and in California and they say there is nothing wrong with it that the vibration is caused by the turbo engine, but there is too much vibration messing up other parts to the car. The navigation, speakers, back camera, tires and I can go on just s**K very bad and I bought it with 0 miles

After driving 44k miles my air compressor broke and i had to pay 1600 out of pocket to fix it because the warranty only went up to 36k miles. I would avoid Honda's from now on. They don't make them like they used to.
Avoid the 2016 Touring at all costs.

The problem with this car is in the center, software driven console. I have had to learn how to pull the fuse in my Civic, because every 30 days there is a problem. I have had my car since January, and I have had it to the dealer twice, and I have reset the radio twice. The car is sitting in my driveway right now with a rattle in the subwoofer and an audio deck that won't turn off. I have had the car's software updated in accordance with the issued TSB, no relief. Dealer just has the stupid look on their face every time I take it back. I am actually thinking about selling the car--it only has 2,000 miles on it. The aggravation is not worth it. The Adaptive Cruise Control works, but is somewhat slow to respond. The rain sensing wipers work in name only. In general the worst car I have ever owned. I can't imagine keeping this for five years. Disappointing at best.

2016 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
14 of 23 people found this review helpful
This is the fourth Honda I've owned. Never had too many problems with the others so I decide on the 2016 Civic for my newest car purchase. It's a great car, as long as you don't care to know how much gas you have. With only 1100 miles on it, the gas gauge stop working. Well, not entirely. It has a bug where it only won't work in the morning. If you drive it around, turn the car off, and then turn it back on, it will work. But its a brand new car; I shouldn't have to do that. I took it back to the purchase dealer and they said there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. Took it to a second dealer (now at 1600 miles) and they currently have it in the shop and are keeping it overnight. I'm very very disappointed in Honda and in my purchase of this vehicle. Who knows what will go wrong next? Think long and hard before purchasing this vehicle as the quality of Honda has gone significantly downhill.

Software glitches galore: Random beeps from touchscreen. Navigation turns off before reaching destination. Honda Watch video doesn't always display. Keyless entry failed a few times and was locked out of car. Map data is incomplete. Voice recognition is very poor. Dealer sys Honda doesn't have software updates! Says I must leave the car overnight and they will do a reinstall. But, other than the ongoing software problems, it's a great car. Handling is good. CVT is good. Peppy acceleration with 174hp engine. Suspension is good at this trim level. Very quiet. Very comfortable front seats. Honda Watch is a great help. The new audio volume strip is better than the old knob, you just need a few days to get used to it.

At 4 years it needed a 2000 repair. Unacceptable. The new 1234yf refrigerant is a disaster. Berger Montague is investigating possible claims against American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda North America, Inc. on behalf of consumers who drive a 2015 – 2019 Honda Civic. These models have defective air conditioning systems that cause the condenser to crack and leak refrigerant. Not only does this stop cold air from flowing, but a refrigerant leak in a vehicle’s AC system can damage other expensive components within the system. The condenser defect is often not covered under Honda’s Powertrain or Limited warranties, which come with the Honda Civic, so drivers have been forced to pay out of pocket to repair their car’s AC.

When I first purchased the car it was in the shop 9 times within the first 8 weeks because I kept having trouble with the electronic system. They could not figure out what was going on sometimes the windows would not open sometimes the moonroof would not open and I could no longer hook up my phone to the car. They insisted that the problem was with the phone even though I told them numerous times that it works perfectly before they touched the car. I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with a woman named Stevie from the lack of customer service department who was so bad, so inconsiderate and uncaring that because of her I will probably never lease a Honda ever again. Whenever I have had a problem with the car miraculously it is never a fault of the car according to them they will continuously blame something else whether it's my phone the curvature of the Earth or the fact that mercury is in retrograde they will use any excuse not to accept responsibility when something doesn't work right in the car

2016 Honda Civic EX-L 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
2 of 2 people found this review helpful
Obviously when buying a coupe, you have to expect a little bit of a rougher ride vs. a sedan (let's call it a sport suspension) plus I think on the EX models with the wider tires you sacrifice a little road comfort as well. Having said that, the ride is still very smooth - in my opinion much smoother than the Mazda 3 hatchback I test drove. I had a 2005 Civic sedan, and Honda has really worked out the road noise issue significantly. It doesn't have the horsepower of a Camaro or a Mustang, but it has the look and feel of a sports car with luxuries galore for $24K. And thanks to Edmund's I got a great deal buying the car with no stressful haggling with the dealer. I have only had the car for 4 weeks, but I am averaging 38 mpg - I do mostly highway driving; acceleration for merging into traffic and changing lanes is no problem. The steering feels tight and in the rain I have had no issues with traction. I made my friend ride in the backseat and she said it was extremely roomy and comfortable which really surprised her (it was a bit of an argument for her to sit back there). It's a Honda so let's assume the long term reliability will be excellent. The new 2016 styling makes it an extremely sexy car inside and out that puts a smile on my face every time I drive her. After 1 month I am still in love with this car and have had no second thoughts or regrets about my purchase.

Two years later --- I LOVE my Honda Civic! Great gas mileage and no issues whatsoever. I would highly recommend buying one -- even if it's used! I owned an Accord for 11 years and then purchased a Toyota Corolla (kids had grown) and now I'm back to Honda. I bought the LX because I'm not into all the fancy high-tech auto-braking/sensing warnings features. I do love the rear backup camera and bluetooth features! I am so happy with the car especially the acceleration. I test-drove the Elantra and the Corolla and came back to the Civic. I have to say that I LOVE the new sporty design. I would highly recommend this car!

I have this car in Energy Green and it turns heads every day, I receive compliments on a daily basis. The leather interior is very nice. I traded my 2006 Civic EX for this one and the cabin space is HUGE in the 2016 but the trunk is much smaller. The downside of this car is the glitchy infotainment screen, it started not working within the first week! The dealership passes the blame on Honda, Honda customer service blames the dealership. I am waiting to get my headunit replaced and hopefully this will gix the problem. You can google to find more info about this problem. Bottom line is that this is a sexy, sporty car for under 25k with fun bells & whistles that are sure to excite.

This new Civic is outstanding in almost every category. Typical Honda quality throughout the vehicle but a couple amazing features include the turbo engine. Not only is it already amazingly fast, for a Civic sedan, but when you shift into Sport (S) this car will get you out of almost any sticky situation with ease. So far we only owned the car for a month and the Apple CarPlay suddenly would not recognize either of our iPhones. Honda service had to update our software to get it working again. Also, I do find the lack of volume knobs for the entertainment center to be annoying since we're all quite use to that capability. Hopefully, I'll get use to it soon. Other than that, love the car. And the gas mileage has averaged between 40 - 43 MPG with mostly highway (90%) and city (10%). Additionally, the Honda Sensing technology has been excellent. It's really great at keeping you alert when you're driving long distances. I highly recommend.

Bought this for the kids because it has automatic braking and my short offspring liked the visibility. A lot of folks think kids should drive old cars because mistakes are less costly. As a 20 year insurance professional I know protecting my children's lives is more important so finding a car with auto brake lead me here. The car has a top IIHS rating (NHTS star rating is worthless in my opinion) but in addition to being safe this thing is great to drive. My daily driver is a sports car and I am very happy jumping into the Civic with half the horsepower because the chassis is fantastic, it makes the whole driving experience nice. This is our first CVT transmission, Honda really dialed it in and it does not distract from the experience. The control layout is great, apple and android car play is fantastic, this $20K car has better nav then my spouses $45K factory nav. Took a while to get used to the lack of radio volume knob but that is so minor. The servicing dealer are a bunch of jerks, actually charged us for an oil change for a factory recall regarding the piston not being attached correctly. called the service department manager and he immediately agreed to remove the charge but the guy who added it wouldn't remove it over the phone so we had to go back - which was the last time ever at that dealership. Update 6/2017. Car is still fantastic. The only small complaint is a torn rear seat after kid dragged viola case over it. I'll take safety and reliability over interior materials. Update 2.0 non turbo engine is 100% reliable, still happy with the car. Update: The civic has a few battle scares but runs, drives, and operates fantastic. No mechanical or other issues.

This is the best civic ever made. Well designed, roomy, powerful, very responsive to steering. The car feels like hugging the road. I love the CarPlay; my map application shows on the screen as if you have a navigation system built into the car. The turbo engine is a little noisy, but I love the sound when l step on the gas pedal and the turbo kicks in. The only option I got is the side molding for the doors to minimize the dents caused by cars parked next to you. Well done Honda!!!

Fun car to drive with great acceleration. The dealer added a body kit to this black Civic Touring and it looks like the 2017 SI. It didn't sell in 2016 and the dealer wanted to sell it. When I first saw the car this past weekend (Labor Day 2017) I wanted it. It has everything and then added styling. The car was discounted so I got a pretty good deal. My wife thought we needed a sedan but now that she has driven the car, she is very happy with the coupe. It is a one of a kind Touring since it has the body kit added. Had the car for a year and I'm amazed at the gas mileage. Driving around town the car averages 32-36 mpg. Very pleased with it's performance after two years. Plan on keeping this one for along time.

I fit a whole collapsed lawn mower in the trunk after I bought this. I didn't have to bungee cord the trunk closed it shut without any hassle. Amazing! I have the LX which for a base model has several nice features like Bluetooth, digital climate control, power windows, mirrors, locks, Econ, gets 41 miles to the gallon but has a 12.85 gallon gas tank so I fill up at least once a week. I drive for Lyft and several passengers have commented on how nice my car is. One guy thought it was an Acura lol

I will start off by saying if you are cross shopping this Civic with other cars in the class, it will not be the cheapest. However, mark my words, it will not drive the cheapest, feel the cheapest, or look the cheapest in the slightest. This car is such an absolute bang for your buck, I don't understand why anyone would get anything other than the newly redesigned Civic. It will crush the Cruze, Sentra, Mazda3, Camry and really any other car in this segment, did I mention I can get upwards of 44MPG's in my car? If your a research based consumer like I was before I made my purchase, I will also invite you to check out the 5-Year Cost to own on the other vehicles in this class, the Civic, much like every other Honda is without question, the valedictorian.

2 of 2 people found this review helpful
This lucky girl was given my new Honda Civic EX-T by my fabulous husband. I have always been a fan of everything Honda. My first car was a 2009 Honda Civic and I loved it, but the switch to this new car has been breathe taking. First off, I love the little turbo in my car. The first time I drove it the torque actually caught me off guard. I always kind of believed that Honda civics were reliable, yet gutless little cars, but with this new car that is not the case. Next, everything about this car is beautiful. The interior seat material is nice and does not look cheap. Everything about the inside of this car feels luxury. Now, yesterday was the first day that I was truly able to test how my car would do in the snow. It had snowed before sun down and then froze over as it was about 18 degrees at night. Needless to say, my car did fantastic! I did not slide once, mind you, I am a pretty cautious driver in the snow, but in comparison to other front wheel drive vehiclesi have driven in the snow, this car did so great, which is a major perk for me with the crazy Utah weather I have to deal with. The only downfalls I have had with this car are the climate control and the touch screen steep system. My climate control has had issues cooling when I am idling, and not just a small amount. When I took it in to see what was wrong, when the dealer tested it, it was blowing 80 degree air when I had it set to the coolest setting. It would blow cold and hot on and off. They ordered my parts but I have yet to hear another word from the dealer, I'm sure though, aside from whatever is wrong specifically with my car, the climate control would be great. As for the touch screen stereo, it can be a little slow and has some glitches here and there but nothing that bothers me too much. Overall, I am so in love with this car. There are so many perks to this car that I use for my 40 mile daily commute.

The car is great I've owned it for 4 weeks now and it's awesome with all the technology it has. The ride is very comfortable, all my passengers have loved it and it's visually appealing as well! I would say that the City MPG they over shot though so far the best gas mileage I can get average with mostly city is about 28-30 (that's what the vehicle estimates so I'm sure it's even a bit lower than that). Great highway mileage though and definitely plenty of power if you pop into Sport.

I'm 48 years old and this is the my favorite car I have ever owned. I get 41 mpg combined city and highway. The car is fun to drive. I have the LX, so I like that it is less technical than the other models. It has manual dials for volume and temperature controls and I haven't had any problem with the Bluetooth.

We were looking at other cars like the Focus, Fusion and anything other than a Honda. My wife and I saw this 2016 Civic EX-T and checked it out then took it for spin and went from there. We got a killer deal from the dealer and really love this car. It is peppy, shifts smooth and the navigation system is awesome. Also, the sound system is great when you crank it up and the trunk space is tremendous for a small car. The only small issues are the cruise control does not slow the car when going down hills as it speeds up a little and the ride is a bit choppy at times but not a big deal to us as everything else is good to go. So much for getting a Ford. Now after owning this car 4 years it has been great, but the interior has some road noise, rattles and squeaks that it did not have when new otherwise still good to go. The A/C vents turn up when first turn on for cool air then after a few minutes they can be adjusted properly. Now there is a rattle on the dashboard area that I cannot find and fix and noticed that the car drifts more now to the right then it used to but still handles well. As of 2023 still have this car and it is still good to go.

I own a 2016 honda civic 2.0L vtech and CVT transmission with 46k miles and just want to let everyone know If you need to make it up a big hill in the snow or ice you have to stop before the hill and turn off the traction control and then get a 25+ mph head start if you DONT turn off traction control you will lose all power to front wheel and even if the tires spinning a little once you get to 3,000 rpms you lost all power... but if you hold in your TC button and disable the TC you will not lose rpms thus giving you enough momentum to make it up the slippery slope.. on a side note repair wise. parts and labor I spent $864.49 on a new evap system,gastank,battery,cabin air filter and got a 4 wheel alignment. But the reason I gave this car a 4 star review is because it is a very nice looking stylish vtech civic that's comfortable and its handling is really good the stock sound system is pretty good and its reliable as usual because it's a civic..

Big for a "small" car, Ok gas mileage (35 mpg combined), Ok riding. All technology inside but especially Navigation System & GPS have BIG problems - either never starts, get stuck in a "searching" mode not finding satellites, or it shows the car completely off the road in a wrong location - useless if you need to use Navigation. I found hundreds of other owners having similar issues: just search YouTube! My 2016 Honda Civic Touring Sedan is going back to manufacturer based on the Lemon Law: same issue repaired more than 3 times (in fact 6 times) and still unresolved. If you don't own one, don't buy a 2016/2017 Civic: only headaches. Both American Honda & the dealership, Honda Cars of Aiken, constantly lying and trying to manipulate the law.

I do not recommend this car. They have problems with the steering mechanism. Just had to get a new rack&pinion done at 40,000 miles. Dealership quoted me 3,200 to fix it. Honda is aware of this issue but have not made it into a recall yet. Just got the car back yesterday from the dealership. First chance I’m getting is to sell it and buy something else. Honda needs to step up their game!

If you live somewhere with a warm climate this is a great car. In cold temperatures the motor does not heat up the way it should, leaving you to drive in a cold car all the time.

Low tire pressure warning keeps coming up!! Is this a future recall issue? There is a recall in the car related to brake issues. Stereo is not good, speakers are cheap and one is already trashed. Car ride is quiet for a small car. Honda had put a nice small car for the competition to catch up now. Car has great pick up, turbo is recommended, great performance.

My biggest complaint about this car is the transmission. If you ever need to slow down quickly then speed up, forget about it. It's like the transmission is stuck in high gear for a second before it decides you're done stopping. I had a close call once because of this. A minor complaint about the transmission is the knuckle dragging fake shift points, it's controlled by the computer there should be an option to turn it off. Another issue is the anemic horn, that sound like a dying giraffe, which I blame for not being able to prevent an accident. The entertainment system is the opposite of ergonomic. The angle of the screen is terrible for a touch screen and several buttons are too small for arms reach. The mute swipe is hit or miss and slow so some times I'll try to mute twice and then it'll mute and unmute. The screen changes and animates for about a minute when I start driving which I find annoyingly distracting. The parking brake is not very usable especially if you are in an emergency and your fine motor skills go out the window. Also why do you have to push the break to release the parking break? The seats are so curved, they force you to slouch. Other then these issues the car is OK. It drives on the freeway nicely, mileage is good and it has plenty of trunk space.

Honda did a amazing job in 2016 Civic touring Model, which i leased in February 2016. On $27000.00 Price tag and no memory seat, no seat cooling option for driver seats annoying. Cheap Tablet in the name of Infotainment system and Navigation, which is gives you a wrong directions5 out of 10 times, GPS never calibrate for the first 5 minutes. Clock never sync always stuck on previous time. Otherwise its a great car.

The lease on my '13 Civic EX-L w/nav expired this week and I debated whether to buy it or lease the '16 that got good reviews. I loved everything about the '13 and after driving the '16 for just one round trip to/from work, I knew I made the wrong decision. I guess I should have done better research, but I never would have thought they would *remove* basic features I relied on often -- a valet key?? A knob(!) to control the a/c fan?? A knob to turn the radio off/on and adjust the volume?? All gone. That nav screen is also positioned too low -- the '13 was higher so I could glance at it without taking my eyes off the road. And does the steering wheel not adjust up/down?

This is my second Honda Accord and my 2016 Civic EX is really a magnificent car. For under 20k it has many features and extras. Keyless, moonroof, really sharp exterior, backup and side mirror are some of my favorites. I totally recommend this vehicle. It should be at the top of everyone's list if you are looking for a 4 door sedan with plenty of room inside and a stylish looking exterior. I bought the black and it looks amazing.

A couple of things came from my experience with this POS. One, I will NEVER buy a new Honda again. Second, it forced me to go out and see what other quality vehicles are being made and boy, everyone else does it better now. Honda is riding on reputation only and it a flimsy one at best. Do your research and you will see how far Honda has fallen. This car should be pulled from their lineup and redone. The only redeeming part of the car is it looks good and has good acceleration - other than that it is the BIGGEST POS I have ever bought. I had to sue Honda in order to get my money back - 18 trips to the dealer in 18 months for 2 issues - one minor and one major. The minor issue was a design flaw with the rear Subwoofer - bounced the rear window and deck and never sounded good - after MULTIPLE TIMES to the dealer, Honda said, flat out, we will not fix this anymore, even though it's under warranty and still not performing properly (Huh?). The second one and this a major issue - the "info-tainmaint" center NEVER worked correctly - Honda's answer "when it doesn't work right, turn the car off and turn it back on". Because that's a reasonable thing to do when you're driving 65mph down the highway. Long story short - go elsewhere. I replaced this POS with a beautifully performing Subaru (was SHOCKED at how nice it was) and as soon as I can, I will be getting rid of my 2016 POS CRV (junk and OVERPRICED). ***UPDATE - 03/22 - Edmunds won’t leave me alone about updating my review. Honda settled out of court a while ago and banned me and my wife from buying a Honda/Acura for 5 years. Ha - Great company. Fyi - we still have the Subaru and I recently bought a Toyota 4Runner - won’t be looking at Honda again.

Short rough ride

As the owner of two civics-06,10, I took my family to test drive a 16 model- 4door EX. I am old school, so I was freaked out by the fact that this car has NO key. You touch the door handle and it unlocks, you put your foot on the brake to start it-with a button!! The ride was ROUGH!!! Much rougher than the the ride of my 2 door ex, and 4 door LX(with 204,000) miles on it, mind you. Very disappointed. Drove it straight back to the dealer.....so so disappointed. So now I have to just get a used Accord. BTW we also drove a 16 Accord LX-the ride was MUCH better, but was with the vibration when accelerating, and sitting at a stop light about!! I guess I am being too picky folks. but I expected a lot better vehicle. Hell I own 2 of them, I know they have been good cars for me....but I have serious doubts about the new ones.....

Great four and a half star car

The problem here is that I was looking for a five star car at a four star price. The Civic is a fantastic car for the price but the touring model does not have the same feel of an Acura TSX or Lexus ILS etc. even though they seem to have the same features. The gadgets all work but the feel is just one of "Its a Honda Civic". I would not open my eyes inside of it and think I was in a luxury sedan, but rather a fully loaded popular priced model. If that's what you want, that's what they deliver.

THE BAD: no classic volume control knob; ugly '90s style dashboard back light control stick that doesn't work during the day anyway; climate options slow response up to few seconds; you can't access on-screen controls (audio, climate, etc) once you are on driving Reserve or have right turn signal on (this should be available to override); terrible mirrors - feels like you are drunk when you look at them - pick interior's reflections easily which adds extra distractions, curved left edge on drivers mirror adds more confusion than help; plays mp3 from USB flash drive but only if USB port between seats is used, from one give you error message about music files being invalid format; no control over the way mp3 folders are listed (looks like they are listed by date created rather than alphabetically), also 'random in folder' function doesn't work correctly (occasionally jumps to other folders too - very annoying); no option to create playlist or fav list; interface not exactly intuitive, no theme preview etc.; mirror and rear cameras quality not good as expected (early '00s quality); super ugly and oversized passenger airbag status light; not much space under the radio/display console; plenty of space between; transmissions shifts weird when try to accelerate quickly; some weird bumps on the floor (driver and passenger, looks like something, but designed that way) THE GOOD: very quiet comparing to previous editions; nice seats; sticks to the road pretty good; nice rims; remote engine start option; occasionally feels like you drive hybrid; good overall, probably best buy for such budget
