Great car until...

I had this car for a little over 3 years. It was a great overall car. Good performance, handling, and comfort. I had this car until it reached 46,000 miles. I stumbled across two issues while owning this car. At around 30,000 miles the steering wheel would start to get stuck while slightly turning at high speeds. The other issue is that the AC compressor broke at 45,000 miles and cost 1,700 to fix it! I was out of warranty by this time. Overall pretty good car.

Great Upgrade from 2015 Civic

I traded in my 2015 Civic coupe for the 2016 sedan. I had tested the Civic EX-L, 2016 Accord Sport, 2016 Toyota Prius, and the 2016 RAV4 Hybrid. I must say I made a great choice going with the Civic. The Accord's driving dynamic didn't feel right. The Prius had some funky styling and very comfy seats but was just too slow to get to highway speeds. The RAV4 Hybrid was a great vehicle, I may have choose it over the Civic if the dealership hadn't treated me poorly. The Civic has everything that I was needing in my next car. A sleek look, 4 doors to allow adults to fit into the back seats, a spacious trunk, a lot of tech, heated seats, and great fuel economy with a turbo! The car handles very well around corners. I get a smile on my face every time I drive this car. My only complaint is like other owners have said, the bluetooth connection is terrible. It cuts out frequently but that is overcome by plugging my iPhone in by USB, so not a major problem. Otherwise, this car is a big win for Honda!

A Great All-Around Commuter Car

2016 Honda Civic EX-T 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I had a 2016 Subaru WRX for the past year. Absolutely loved the car, but I was moving to the city and was going to park on the street and I didn't want to bring a sporty car that someone might scratch up/mess with. It hurt, but I knew I had to get something else that was a little more discrete. I shopped around for cars in the same compact size class the WRX (based off the Impreza) and the Civic just hit all the checkmarks. The styling is pretty polarizing and while I like it, I'm still getting used to it. I do like that Honda took a bold decision and made it a unique design in a segment with a lot of "bland" cars. Technology wise the car has it all, you get a large touchscreen display with apps, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and then some. The EX-EX-L comes with a 8 speaker 188-watt sound system that sounds decent (coming from a stock stereo WRX this is WAY better). I didn't try the Touring's 10-speaker system with a subwoofer but heard it's pretty good. I also got Honda Sensing which comes with some great safety features, even though I think LKAS (Lane Keeping Assist System) is sometimes a bit intrusive but you can turn it off. The power out of the little 1.5L I4 is very solid and with the turbo it does pick up speed pretty well for the segment. Fuel economy is excellent and if you are just cruising on the highway you can definitely get 40+ mpg, on average I get around 36 mpg in mixed highway and backroads driving. Another thing I enjoy is having the keyless access, start and remote start which comes in really handy cooling down the car and once it's winter to heat up the car. As a whole, even though I miss my WRX I think the Civic is a great alternative. It's still pretty fun to drive, great fuel economy, plenty of technology to keep us millennials entertained as well as having that Honda quality and reliability. Definitely recommend one!

I would never own another Honda

2016 Honda Civic LX 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

I bought the 2016 Civic Lx to replace a 2012 Civic that the electrical system failed on. I thought it was just a rare issue, boy was I wrong. The first week I owned the 2016 Civic the third break light shroud fell and block view through the rear windshield. The local dealer tried to repair it multiple times, but it just kept falling down. It took threatening Honda Corporate USA with the lemon law to get it fixed. The car was good over all for a few months, but then began having strange random issues. The trunk would open on it's own, windows would roll themselves down when no one was around and the car was locked. By the time it was a year old the Air Conditioning stopped working, a few weeks later one of the key fobs completely failed, replacing the battery in it did nothing. The final event was when the car caught fire sitting in the driveway. It was locked and had not been driven for hours. Honda took no responsibility what so ever for any of the problems, and I lost thousands of dollars I had invested in the car.

Yep, there's no volume knob. Moving on. I drive this car about 25 miles a day for my commute. I've put a little over 7000 miles on it in the 10 months I've owned it and am averaging 36.9 mpg. Things I like: acceleration once the turbo kicks in, sport mode, info-tainment system, Android Auto, interior storage, gas mileage, quiet cabin, feeling of quality of interior, brake hold is awesome! Things I'm not crazy about: price is a little steep, but not crazy, no adjustable lumbar support (come'on Honda!), CVT is really hesitant from a dead stop. Overall, nothing is perfect, I love this car. To me, the lack of a volume knob is made up for with the touch sensitive steering wheel volume control.
