The best new fun to drive car easily for under 25k

2018 Honda Civic Si 2dr Coupe (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
28 of 31 people found this review helpful

I've had my new 2018 Civic Si coupe since December 26th 2017 and I got a great year end lease deal. This is an incredibly fun to drive car for the money at $22,000 before tax and the other dealer charges. The press is stupid tough on this car probably because the Type R is so damn good from what I've read no test drives are still allowed. But this car is far cheaper, is a two door coupe, and does not look like it came out of a cereal box! The handling is incredible, engine power is great for a 1.5 liter engine, the controls are perfectly placed and logical, the stereo sounds amazing turned all the way up, the shifter and clutch are Honda perfection, the steering is amazing, the limited slip differential pulls the car out of turns and provides improved traction in inclement weather, the all-season tires offer great grip in all conditions and there is no need to have another set just for winter, the visibility is great especially considering it is a two door, the interior and trunk have tons of room for such a small car, and the gas mileage is great as I have been averaging 32 mpg in seriously frigid New England winter temperatures! My only gripe is that with the dampers in the normal mode the ride is a bit much on bumpy pavement but that is it. And I am surprised of all the attention this car gets on the road. Maybe it is the nice pearl white on my car or the fact that every vehicle on the road has four doors and is some type of stupid cross over / suv I am not sure. I've had many performance cars in the past (vortech supercharged Honda S2000, three Camaros, among some others) as well as other Honda vehicles but I am telling you do not listen to the press reviews on this car except maybe for Car and Driver who has put the Si on their ten best list along with the Sport hatch and Type R. It is well deserved indeed. Check one out for yourself, life is short. You will not be disappointed.

The Old Grey Fox!

I am in my early 50's and I feel like a kid again being behind the wheel of the 2018 Honda Civic LX in the modern steel metallic color. Having just ended a 3 year lease on a 2015 Honda Accord LX, I have to say that I have no regrets leasing the new Civic. The reason for changing from the Accord to the Civic is due to the awesome redesign of the10th generation. Being 6 foot and 2 inches tall I need a lot of leg room and I have plenty and also good head room because of the height adjustability that the driver seat has. The 2018 Honda Civic looks like it is in motion when it is parked and the car feels like a 4 door sports car. Now don't get me wrong, I know the car is considered to be a economical compact car but with this redesign you are getting so much more "bang for your buck"! Thank You HONDA!!!

Absolute PERFECT car for smaller woman!

2018 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

I am a 5’I woman, who recently brought a 2018 Civic. I have been through three cars in the last three years, two of them being brand new Honda products. (Accord & CR-V). Had NO IDEA how the scale of the car would affect my sense of control, comfort and enjoyment! I..am.. in..car..heaven! It is a FABULOUS car for anyone, but is the PERFECT car for the ‘height challenged’. IF YOU ARE, DO NOT BUY A CAR UNTIL YOU TEST DRIVE THIS ONE!

I love my 2018 Civic. I’ve owned an Accord & also a 2011 Civic. This is thus far my favorite

Saved Our Lives?

Had a 2016 LX-P coupe. Hit and run driver on the interstate sent us into a guardrail at 60mph. Car was totalled but we walked away. Side airbags saved my wife. Cabin totally secure without so much as a dent. Car is very built well and proved itself when it was needed most. We just bought a 2018 model just like it.
