Honda Civic Hatchback EX big disappointment
Purchased a new 2018 Civic Hatchback in September. Before the car had 2,000 miles on it, I was over 100 miles away from home and when I tried to depress the brake pedal to start the car, the brake pedal was frozen. So I was stuck far away from home and I couldn't start the car. The dealership didn't know what to say except that the computer just stopped communicating with the car for some reason. Then, I noticed the moon roof was rattling when in the up or down position. I just recently brought it back for the 3rd time in eight months and this time they had my car for 3 days and took everything out of the car, including the headliner. I still don't know at this point if they have actually fixed it. The weatherstripping on the driver's side door window fell off as well so they had to order new weatherstripping. I was given a free rental car twice and the dealer, Moss Bros. Honda of Moreno Valley has been wonderful. This car is stunningly beautiful to look at (at least I think so). It drives like a dream and is very comfortable. However, these issues have made me wish that I had never purchased this car. There have been lots of rattles in lots of places but they seem to have calmed down. The stereo is the worst I've ever had in any car and the radio reception is not the best. The buttons on the display are extremely slow to respond. Currently I am getting 35.1 mpg. combined. I have owned 7 cars is my lifetime and the quality of this car is a huge disappointment. I did not expect this from a Honda product.

Perfect 2nd car for us
Our regular vehicle is an Acura RDX and we needed a 2nd car backup. Since we're mostly retired, neither car will see many miles. The Civic (with the 1.5L turbo engine) is fun to drive, peppy and reasonably comfortable on the highway. The entertainment system with Apple Play is nice; the 8-speaker audio system is OK, not great. I like to rear-view camera on the passenger-side mirror that looks backward when the right turn signal is on (but don't crunch it - as we found out, cost to replace is $1,000). All in all, it doesn't quite rival the BMW 328xi sitting in our northern garage, but at half the price, we're very happy with the Civic.

Sporty and fun to drive
I agree with most of the reviewers that the Infotainment isn’t that great, slow to response, and lack of the Volume Control Know (this is VARY USEFUL when you need to quickly turn up or turn down the music). I’m not a fan of the red instruments gauges (Sport and Sport Touring model), I wish there was an option to change colors, but I’ll have to live with it. And there’s no overhead SUNGLASSES holder, theres other compartments, but still. Other than that, it’s a great car. Oh and I’m glad Honda brought back the sliding visor/sunshade, many people might not realize it, but it’s very useful feature.

Great Value
Great gas mileage, comfortable and great styling. The only problem I have is with the entertainment center--the audio part goes off sometimes and I have to reboot the entire system before it will work.

HondaMan
Acceleration, only a little slow from a standing/stop position. Fuel Economy, getting better the longer/more I drive it. Quality of Materials, could always be better in just about any car I've ever bought. Warranty, if Honda claims to build such a great car, why not have a better/longer warranty (which could be said for most car companies). This is my 4th Honda, I stand by each and everyone of them, all great cars/SUV.
