Never buying a Honda ever again

Mike, 02/22/2023
2017 Honda Civic EX-T 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

Nothing just problems since it hit 80k miles. sensor problems almost every time I start the car. I drive to Manhattan from Long Island every day. This car shut off 6 times one morning and in the midtown tunnel then shut off another 9 times on my way home. Honda does not care about your safety or the money you spent on this car. Gas mixes with oil constantly as well and Honda doesn’t care to fix that problem knowing that it’s a huge issue. I’m never buying a Honda ever again. Nothing but trash cars with no responsibility for their faulty workmanship on a pathetic excuse for a car. I seriously hope they become one of the least bought cars because they seriously suck. My wife used to have a crv and it barley made it to 100k miles. They don’t want a car that lasts you just something appealing to the eye for you to dump money into. It’s a lemon car don’t buy this worthless garbage.

Civic Hatchback Sport

William Ney, 05/28/2020
2017 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

Great car, enough pep, great handling and ergonomics. Not a lot of the bells and whistles which is what I like. Intuitive display backup camera all works seemelessly. Truly a fun car to drive and easily a family car as well. It's a Honda, there is no question in my mind it will last a very long time. Gas 35 in town 40 on highway. Eco button heightens gas mileage even more. It's a fun practical and nimble little guy. I love the exterior. The car actually has lines as opposed to the jellybean styling of most cars. The hatchback does not make it look cheap it gives it more of an agressive stance actually. I love it.

A Blast to Drive From Day One!

2017 Honda Civic Si 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

If you enjoy a fun car for 2 or less, this is a good choice. My other car is a Miata-X5 . . . I wanted to enjoy my driving experience to the max! My everyday car is the Si . . . I have been a loyal Honda fan since 1992, and will only drive manual transmission cars. My gas mileage is averaging at 40+ mpg. Couldn't be happier. Have owned the car for more than a year!

Civic Type R is the Best Hot Hatch in the World

2017 Honda Civic Type R 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
1 of 2 people found this review helpful

I have wanted a Civic Type R since about 2000. Honda Finally released it here in the U.S in 2017 and with the new turbocharged Honda engine with amazing looks and insane handling makes this the best Type R Honda has ever made. HondaPro Jason

Biggest thing I wanted was something fun to drive and this car checks that box well. More comfortable for me , better headroom, better visibility out the from . Engine a little stronger but not by a lot . Excellent mpg on highway 44 , a little worse in town.

Sweet 16

2017 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan w/Honda Sensing (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I bought this for my 16 y.o.. she loves it. I bought it for the safety options and the 5 star safety rating. Second reason is the fuel mileage. I didn't want her asking everyday for gas money. It can get over 37mpg in the city if driven correctly. Teaching her to take her time ....well that's another obstacle. Third reason is the manufacturer. I pride my self on not ever buying a foreign car. I drive a Ford f350 diesel. I respect our country and countrymen. To go and buy a Honda was tough. But after looking at where this car was manufactured and assembled I changed my mind. I have neighbors who actually had their hands on this car before it was givin a birth certificate....lol. This civic ex seems to be a safe, economical and stylish ride that should take her thru collage and beyond.

I ordered the Honda with Sensing- all the safety features. I've never owned a Honda car. I like the safety package, but cruise makes you stay back too far. Road noise is worse than my truck. Mileage isn't even close to Honda claims. I have turbo, and the claim is 42 mpg; I get 36.5 at 78 mph.

2017 Hatchback

I loved the new body style when It came out and wanted one BUT we have two bigger dogs and always had SUV's because of that. Looking at the Civic we talked to the Salesperson who we mentioned the dog "issue" to. He recommended the Hatchback. We ended up buying one because it worked with the dogs and overall I am happy with it BUT the interior get's scratched up quickly. Of course at some point my dog will have a paw on the center console..well, I left scratches. I am usually in the car by myself driving to and from work but I also have a scratch in the drivers door above the arm rest part. Also the cloth part on the center console or door parts aren't ideal. I am constantly wiping it with a damp cloth because they get dirty easy.
