Silent but deadly

This car is soooo quiet sometimes you don't even notice it's on. But drop the gear and hear it purr. It is so fun to drive and so spacious inside. The wireless charger charges my phone while in a case and it's just so peooy to drive when I want to drive it hard. And it's super efficient when I'm on the free way. Favorite car ever! Everything I wanted quick, and efficient!

Hondas are Hondas

For the money, it is hard to beat a Honda for build quality. For 20k, I have Honda Sensing, Android Auto, sunroof, great climate control, great gas mileage, and some good power. I looked at Kias, which should be the cheap cars, and it would have cost more to get the options I wanted. And this will hold its value much better. My mpg is right around 30, even with it being winter, me warming my car up in the mornings, and me goofing around with it in these first thousand miles. I expect that will go up and I will see the EPA estimated mileage by summer.

I have test drove many different types of vehicles prior to settling on this one. This Honda Civic has the easiest steering and handling of all the cars I test drove. For those who have weak arms or are suffering from some sort of disability with their arms, I highly recommend driving the Civic. After my accident, I've had trouble turning my steering wheel (especially when trying to turn left or make a u-turn), but not with this car! It feels like my arm was never broken when I drive behind this thing. It has a great turn radius as well. The gas is pretty alright on this car - takes me about 1-1.5 weeks before I have to refill my tank - mainly because I live in California and that traffic is just terrible on the MPG. If you like listening to music (especially music with a lot of bass), it's better to go with the Touring. Unfortunately, I didn't (I went with the EX-L), so my sound system isn't all that great. My 2010 Nissan Altima had a MUCH MUCH MUCH better stereo system (Bose), so it was a joy riding that car. My altima also had very very little cabin noise. The new Honda Civic has a bit more cabin noise, which I'm personally not a fan of. I prefer it to be quiet (aside from my music). For a second to top tier trim level, I was pretty disappointed that it lacked some of the qualities my altima has even though my altima was just a second trim with a convenience package (altima 2.5s). Otherwise, great car. So far, works the way it is expected to.

Getting in and out of the car is a chore. Front seat is to low for me at the top setting position and I'm over six foot tall. I have not put enough miles on it as yet to really judge the car.
