New Civic Touring

What a great vehicle! This Civic replaces an older 2005 Civic Sedan that was totaled in a wreck. A superior vehicle in every respect that mattered to me. I looked at many other makes and models of a similar class (Chevrolet, Kia, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and Hyundai) and while they are all fine vehicles, I kept returning to the Civic. No regrets...at all.

Air bags deployed on their own

I have a some what low rating because I didn’t even have my car for a year yet and while I was driving literally 6 mph down a residential area my air bags deployed by themselves. I had been receiving recall notices in the mail but when I looked up to see if the trim of my car was on that list it was not. Notified honda about this and they insisted I take it to a dealership to have it inspected. The mechanic told me the reason why my air bags deployed was because I had scratches under the bumper (yea, ok) then later they said there was damage to my subframe which basically is them sweeping the incident under the rug I eventually got a lawyer and sued them for this. Because what if I were on the freeway going 65mph + and this happened?? This kind of scarred me from even getting another Honda to be honest. I eventually got a Mustang after this and I love it.

Almost Perfect...

...if the seats had lower lumbar support, if the cabin noise was a little more subdued, and if it came with a mute button that my Fusion had to halt the ear-destroying commercials (not the car’s fault). Almost perfect!

Airbags deployed on me by themselves

I loved this car so much especially when I first purchased it brand new, for a Civic it rode so smooth but later on once I got to like 20k miles I started noticing noise from the highway inside of the cabin and the ride wasn’t really smooth any more. But one day I was driving in a residential area not even going over 15 miles per hour and my car just stopped by itself and the airbags came out by itself! I was terrified cause I didn’t know what happened. Once the airbags came out I guess the accident response unit was triggered and they thought I had a collision when I didn’t. I contacted Honda the very next day and explained to them what happened (this is corporate by the way) and they suggested I take it to the nearest dealership to have my car inspected. The mechanic tried to blame the issue on me hitting a pot hole which was a lie I didn’t hit anything when this happened. I guess he tried to BS me because I am a woman but I know a little something about cars. I’m no fool. I even checked to see if the trim of my Civic was on the recall list because there has been reports of the airbags malfunctioning or whatever, my trim was NOT on the recall list. Basically Honda swept the whole incident under the rug. I should have sued them because what if I were on the freeway going 70 mph and that happened? It could have ended differently. I’m glad I was going under 15 mph when this happened I walked away with a scratch on my forearm from the airbag deploying due to me driving with one hand on the steering wheel. Also, the seats are super uncomfortable if you’re driving for a while. I drove from the bay to LA which is a 5 hour drive depending on which freeway you take, my butt was numb by the time I got to Bakersfield. One thing I can say is that it’s really good on gas I believe on full it has 423 miles until E which is really good, and Maintenance is really affordable. I think I paid $60 for my oil change each time (I didn’t take it to the dealership) if I did take it to the dealership I would have been charged like $150-200. To be honest that little incident with my airbags and how Honda handled it, kind of turned me away from Hondas period because the technology they have in these newer cars aren’t efficient. One last thing, the touch screen radio has issues as well sometimes it would freeze and cause my speakers to make a really weird noise like a long error sound. The speakers are eh, the sound system could be better. When I first got the car I didn’t know it was 4 cylinder (lol!!!) so if you like going fast like me or like some horsepower this car is not for you, even in sport mode it felt like I was still going slow and it drove so funny and weird I felt like I was messing up my transmission. I remember one time I tried to beat the yellow light my accelerating and the car really didn’t go anywhere LMAO. After my civic ended up getting totaled, I ended up getting a 2019 Dodge Challenger R/T which I LOVE.

Better than my Audi A4

This Honda replaced my Audi A4--this will be a controversial statement, but honestly, I couldn't be happier and feel like I 'traded up.' The safety features, the handling, even the interior design in the cockpit--everything feels so much better--at half the price. The car is plenty roomy, has great storage, and the twin turbos are fun to drive.
