Immediately after I test drove this car I fell in love. It seemed like the perfect size, great gas mialage, stylish and good technology. I purchased it about a month later after shopping around some more. This car let me down as well as the dealership. There was something wrong with the passenger side tire that is popped twice within a year causeing the wheel itself, the rim and the tire all needing replacing. Each time it cost over $1200. The electric windows got stuck in the winter time. The rear lights stopped working causing me to get pulled over, I tried to get it taken care of and they charged me to reset the entire computer system causing a pretty high bill. The build quality was embarrassing and the road noise was unbearable. Overall I wish I never got this car and truly wish Honda could win me over again. I warn everyone don’t get fooled by the brand reputation or the attractiveness of this vehicle, you will be disappointed. At this price point or just slightly higher you can get a much better quality vehicle including entry level luxury/premium cars.

The stock tires and headlights are garbage ! But the rest of the car is amazing I'm 6' 3" and this car has tons of space. It's crash test rating is through the roof, its 0-60 is ~6.2 seconds which is faster than most cars. It's passing ability is awesome with the turbo ! Really fun and peppy car to drive. I test drove the impreza, mazda 3 , and golf , and this car was definitely the most bang for your buck. the only quells are again the stock all - seasons are terrible in the snow, and the headlights aren't very bright. but the daytime running LED's are really pretty. I've gotten so many compliments on the look of this car. If you get this car get the sport package the exhaust sounds awesome at high rpms but still keeps quiet at low speeds and not to mention those 18" wheels are so sexy. I still oogle my car from my window 7 months in. I love this car.

The sport in manual is the way to go. Plenty of pickup and fun to drive. The sport model is pretty bare bones but has everything you need! update: had it a year and still love it, no problems at all! Updated 07/2019: Still loving this car with no issues. MPG is great, it is quick enough and I still enjoy driving it everyday.

I remember the days when I’d travel and rent a car and wish my own car was as good. That’s a thing of the past. Now I get back to my and it’s a relief. So many good things about this car it’s impossible to catalog them all. The 540 watt stereo is awesome!! My old Civic Coupe (2009) had a very good premium stereo but this is waaaaay better! The turbo makes this car very quick. I had my doubts about the CVT transmission but it's quite smooth and enjoyable. Purists will tell you they have to have a manual transmission to get the best performance. Pish posh! This car is fantastic without it. Had to wait to get the first blue one in Oregon but well worth the wait. The heated leather seats are great when it's cold and Doublr as a back heater if your back is hurting! My mpg is also a big jump over my previous Civic. A year and a half later I’m still seeing around 35 mpg and I’ve seen it hit 40 mpg when driving all highway miles. I switched to all premium gas since I like the extra kick it gives. What's truly amazing is that I have a much quicker car and it's significantly less expensive to run. An update after owning it for over a year: it’s a joy to drive both in town and on the highway. Did discover that if drive it faster than 80 regularly the mileage will drop and if traveling behind other cars spraying moisture up, the ACC can have trouble seeing through it if it builds up.

When I first saw the car it was love at first sight. I like the look of the exterior as well as the look and functionality of the interior. I opted for the model with Honda Sensing which is worth the extra money. The only complaint I have is the basic sound system, but I was probably spoiled by my Chevy Sonic which had a rather impressive factory sound system.
