AVOID BUYING IT. LOOK ELSEWHERE

I love love the my hatchback sport civic. Until about 3500 miles - the check engine light popped up and disabled all the safety features - ABS, parking breaks,etc. Brought to the dealership - was told that IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE GAS MIXES WITH THE OIL. There are no current fixes. I was told to wait until they find a solution. All they did was turn off the warning and told to observe it. WHAT?? Observe the gas mixing with the oil?? I'm currently in the process of contacting a lawyer. This is unacceptable. Take your money elsewhere until they fix this.

Along with most office people, my daily commute was eradicated during Covid. Around 78,000 miles, the AC condenser quit. Splendid! I had received an extended manufacturer warranty and my local dealer told me "No problem". After having it a day, they still said "no problem, it's covered". After another day, they advised the AC compressor also failed and none of it was under warranty. Needless to say, this experience soured me on the dealership and I have started doing my own maintenance. I'll use my hometown shop for anything that looks out of reach for me. Other than that, she finally cooked her brakes (I assume I got some rotor warping from sitting longer periods of time). I put new Michellins on also. I decided the stock continentals, although retaining awesome tread just wasn't what I was used to while driving in rain with my 2011 V6 Accord. The new ones have much more confidence in snow and rain. Power train has been flawless and so has the head unit/electronics. I want to hit 200,000 miles and I see no reason we won't make it. Previous 50,000 mile review: *Flawless. This EX-L Hatch with Navi has not had a single issue. I'm driving the wheels off it - except the Continentals' tread is still beautiful. I've had the windshield replaced due to a highway rock and I've installed an after-market stereo. I I used a Line Output Converter to keep the stock head unit/touchscreen and put a subwoofer approximately where the Sport Touring and Type R sneak it behind the rear wheel well. Other than that, it's the same as when I bought it. It seems the gas mileage has IMPROVED as the engine has been used. We've added 2 kids and a dog - The dog loves the hatch and the baby carseats weren't too hard to install with the LATCH positions in easy locations. It's an all-around no brainer. Great space. Torque off the line and always ready at highway speeds. Unbelievable gas mileage. I'd like the fun of having a stick but I'm probably better off with the CVT in traffic and balancing work calls through the Android Auto/bluetooth. A++++ I'm on track to hit 200,000 unless I get seduced by the rumored lower profile Type R that may be coming out in 2020.

Trumps luxury brands, even from Honda's own acura

2017 Honda Civic LX 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

You can get a great sound system with subwoofer (almost the same thing you get on ILX top ELS version), a powerful yet very efficient turbo engine that is both snappy and stingy on gas, great styling inside and outside, top tech including self steering that lets you take your hands off the steering wheel for a few good seconds even in a turn, adaptive cruise that takes the car to full stop and restart going in stop and go traffic. And apple and android car play that takes the entertainment system to another level. Can't find the same combination not in any luxury brand today.
