Loving my coupe...the green machine!
Wisdom Warrior, Nashville, TN, 04/03/2016
2016 Honda Civic LX 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
I am truly amazed at the improvements over the last generation! This car swayed me from an Audi A3. It is classy, refined, agile and quiet. I chose the LX because it has all the features i need without alot of fluff. It has loads of technology, even in the base model. I love how it handles and the Sport mode gives the engine a nice growl! There are discounts on this hot coupe, so … haggle when you purchase!
The only changes might be adding sport paddle shifters ( a little inconvenient shifting from sport to drive mode) and making mud flaps standard to keep my beauty clean! (I am adding them myself, as I bought them with the car and did not want to pay for installation. )
After 18 months of ownership, I still love this car! I recently tested the hatchback, which was released after my purchase. I think the coupe is better, unless cargo space is a top concern...
After 48 months, still love the Civic! A/C condenser went out, and was replaced free by Honda and warranty on system bumped up to 10 years. I still would like the hatchback, and will probably get one when I am ready to let go of this jewel...
Sold the car in September 2020 because used car values skyrocketed and i had another car to drive.
Poor Acceleration on Steep Hills
Khush Cheema, Sheffield, IL, 03/26/2016
2016 Honda Civic LX 2dr Coupe (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
Looking and comparing between Honda Civic LX with CVT XMSN and Mazda 3. The engine of civic roared when climbing up a hill without increasing or maintaining the original speed. The engine rpm didn't go higher than about 3400 and the car slowed down while climbing small hills. I think this is an attribute of CVT. I also rode a Toyota Prius in Pennsylvania that has CVT as well and it … reminded me of that. Also, Mazda 3 has much more technology features than civic. I found civic interior dull and flat as compared to Mazda 3. I think I'm going with Mazda 3 since these two cars are very close with every other feature and Mazda 3 has traditional 6 speed automatic XMSN.
