Honda Civic Hatchback EX big disappointment

2018 Honda Civic EX 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

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.

Fun Sporty and Safe

2018 Honda Civic Sport Touring 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

This is an amazing car especially for its class. The 1.5 turbo has tons of power and still has super good fuel economy. It's not sports car fast but for everyday drivability it feels a lot faster than it is and always has quick pickup with the low end torque. The top end power you do notice it starts to die out compared to actual performance cars but it is way faster than anything else in its class. The sport touring does recommend Premium fuel though but you can use regular. I always use premium though. The car also handles great and drives smooth. The hatchback is very useful and you can fit a lot of stuff in it when you fold the rear seats down. All the cabin materials in the sport touring trim are top notch soft touch. There is no hard plastics or cheap materials. The stock sounds systems with the sub also sounds very good. The Honda lane watch is one of my favorite features and provides a lot of safety especially in rush hour and makes switching multiple lanes of traffic a breeze. The adaptive cruise control also works great but is a little sensitive where it slows down and leaves too much space between cars for my liking but it is safe. It can also pretty much drive itself on the highway with the adaptive cruise control and follows the lane markings and even steers. If you let go of the steering wheel though it will give a warning and tell you to hold it. The automatic breaking works great. The car is also extremely safe. I owned a 2016 Honda civic and was t-boned by a pickup truck going over 50mph and was able to walk away with only minor bruises and being a little sore. The car was completely totaled but overall I was fine. My biggest complaint would be the infotainment is kind of slow and the navigation system does not work the best but you can always use android auto or apple carplay so not too big of a deal. I also live in Arizona so having the remote start is great. I start the car from my office before I leave work and it cools it down quite a bit. I also like that the car has an actual spare tire. The only 2 things to improve for me personally would be more top end power even though the car is fast and improved navigation/infotainment system.

Honestly I wanted a sports car, but it just wasn't the right time. Maybe in a few years, but even then this car is NOT leaving our family. I plan on having it till the wheels fall off. It is just a great car to own and drive. You will not be disappointed by the civic at all. It has plenty of power, but I'm addicted to speed so I always want more. I highly recommend this vehicle. I highly recommend the hatchback sport because it has everything you need and nothing you dont. Plus they look pretty sporty.

I specifically wanted a manual transmission car and test drove several models, from Subarus to Toyotas. I am a life long Honda owner so I am very biased, but I did find this one to be the most fun to drive while looking cool and having decent mileage. After having the car for over a month my primary gripes are: 1. The stereo is just not great. Wish there were more USB ports. The Bluetooth unmatches from my iPhone constantly. 2. Because I wanted a manual transmission some of the other upgrades were unavailable to me like: moon roof, leather seats, and what I wanted most: Apple CarPlay. This was a huge bummer. 3. Premium gas is recommended... which can get pricey. 4. I wish Honda offered factory car racks especially for such a sporty car. 5. Someone mentioned an issue with the A/C getting cooler which I agree with. All that being said, I was able to stay within my budget and I am happy with the car. If the Touring version had a stick shift I would have sprung for it, it but I understand there is not much of a market for stick shifts. We just took the car on a 20 hour total road trip and it did very well. Love the folding seats. Loving driving fast. Overall, a very happy Honda customer.

Zippy little turbo that can be downgraded by setting the Eco drive button for better fuel economy. Fun ride with excellent road handling and impressive antislip in slushy snow conditions. Very stable feel; even in heavy rain and standing water the car feels solid. Car gets plenty of compliments on its sporty looks, although I feel the rear bumper looks a bit like it’s trying too hard. Love the versatility of the hatchback - shockingly large cargo space when seats folded down. Plenty of legroom for tall adults in rear and rear seat definitely doesn’t sit like it was an afterthought. Rear and passenger side cameras really nice, but am definitely missing the blind spot warning light in the driver mirror I think all cars should have. The tech is great, Bluetooth etc. all hands free with voice command. Lots of cubbies for storing stuff. Nice big sunroof that isn’t behind me like on many cars, I’m 5’6”. Remote start so smart - big plus!
