Liked the shoe color, so I bought the matching car
David Schaeffer, Bryn Athyn, PA, 06/04/2016
2016 Honda Civic Touring 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
I love the catchy bright green color which just happens to match my favorite pair of shoes.
This replaces my 1999 Toyota Camry Solara, which I drove for 265,000 miles and 17 years 9 months. Although I was very happy with the Solara, any new car is going to impress after driving such an old car.
I think the Civic Coup Touring is a great value. The total cost was very close to the … Solara even though car prices have gone up in the last 18 years. The Civic is missing a couple of features (power driver seat and garage door control) that I liked in the Solara, but adds many new features.
The sound system that comes with the touring trim level is better than the Solara SLE's excellent sound system.
The integration with Google Maps navigation via Android Auto is excellent. I'm so glad I don't have to use Garmin navigation in order to use the large dash display. I'm lucky that my Samsung phone is a bit old, so it does not have the new Android operating system which has lots of reported issues with Android Auto.
I had to migrate my music library from Apple to Google because I cannot use both my iPod Touch and my Samsung phone at the same time. Google Play Music isn't quite as good as Apple's but I'm happy I was forced to move my ~15,000 songs to Googles cloud servers.
The cruise control feature of slowing down for the car in front of you demonstrates fairly primitive self-driving technology. It tends to slow abruptly, especially when you are approaching a vehicle turning left or right from your lane. I keep using it a lot to try to understand when it's best to enable it and when it's best to disable it.
The Coupe you want!

2016 Honda Civic Touring 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
After owning several Honda's I left the brand a couple years ago and leased a Lexus. With the introduction of the 2016 Civic I returned to the Honda brand and purchased a 2016 Civic Coupe in touring trim - which is loaded to the gills. I couldn't be happier to be rid of my Lexus because I now have a car with more features for half the cost, and the interior, noise and harshness levels, … and ride quality all mimic a car costing thousands more. Everything seems really well put together, the only complaint I have thus far is the drivers seat is a bit firm - but after a leather treatment it seems a bit more flexible. I'd definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone seeking a premium coupe loaded with luxury, tech, and safety features for not a lot of money. Reliability has been first rate!
Civic Touring Coupe with body kit
Pat, Shreveport, LA, 09/05/2017
2016 Honda Civic Touring 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
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.
Home run for Honda
Veejayy, Collingswood, NJ, 01/26/2019
2016 Honda Civic Touring 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
Traded in a Golf GTI to get a 2016 Honda Civic 1.5 T coupe. I had been disappointed with the direction Honda had been going with their Civics and even the Si version. Numb steering and not great handling .This new iteration (as of 2016) was a delight on the test drive. The seating position, the seats and most of all the steering feel and weight. Yes in a Civic . Absolutely gratifying. I … have had the car for 2.5 years and it is a joy to drive everyday. I did get rid of the OEM Conti tires which were horrible in the snow and put on MIchelins which have been fantastic in all seasons here in the NE. The entertainment system would keep crashing with blue tooth so I went with a wire connection to my iPhone (turned off the Bluetooth) to use Apple Car play and it has been flawless since. I hope Honda keeps this up and continues to inject driving fun into its cars like the old days in the 80s and 90s.
