NO way

The Civic is less roomy inside than the Hyundai Elantra, costs more, instrument panel is inferior, accelerates less quickly, far less warranty. In NO way worth the extra money over a Hyundai Elantra.

After one year driving this vehicle i m very disappointed. gas mileage is nothing compared with the accord 1.5 engine. They design this vehicle soo lower on the front the car touch every single bump on the street. And who’s decided remove the auxiliary in? 3.5 mm audio in? I don’t care if is old technology modern care still include that. Car is very good looking but nothing like the glorious Older ones. I can’t wait for change I don’t recomend this vehicle. To many choices out there better equipment options for less money!

This is the best car I have ever owned. I keep my cars a long time and care for them well. My trade was a 2005 Grand Marquis which was comfortable and trouble free for many years but I did not enjoy driving it. The Honda is easier to drive, more economical and takes very little effort to park, handle or rack up the miles on a long drive. Visibility is excellent. For years I was nervous about something popping out of the Marquis’ massive blind spots unexpectedly with deadly results. I never really knew where the car’s total foot print was at critical times. The Honda is a confidence builder and I have been driving over 50 years with a good record Thanks to the adjustable steering wheel, it’s easy to get in and out of, too.

My 2018 EX-L is spacious with great acceleration. It has great fuel economy at approximately 40mpg and over 400 miles range on a full tank. I like the Honda Lane Watch feature with the side camera on the passenger mirror that allow you to see your blind spot on the display when operating the right turn signal. This was an excellent choice for a second car to split the miles between it and my 2018 Acura MDX. This is a much improved Honda Civic from previous models.

I had very high expectations and this car is even better! Only 700 miles so far but no disappointments or problems. It is great! Now at 4800 miles it is still 100% wonderful. Best car I ever had (BMWers and Lexus).

Great Car - Cheap Floormats, Defective Engine

2018 Honda Civic EX-T 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

Proud owner of a 2018 Civic EX-T manual transmission, 1.5l. This is the only year the 1.5l - manual transmission combination was offered in the sedan. What can I say, nice driving position, great gas mileage (average 46mpg), peppy engine, and regular gas. A really fun combination. I honestly love this car. Unfortunately, it's more style over substance. Simple things, like the driver's floormat wearing a hole through it in 8 months, or a missing volume knob. Details that would be frowned upon from other car manufactures are simply dismissed by those that own Hondas. Also, don't forget the massive elephant in the room: the troublesome 1.5l oil dilution issue. Honda has issued an 'action' to fix this problem by updating some engine software and sending me home with a smile. Also, without fanfare, Honda has extended the warranty on vital engine components against wear for 6-years unlimited mileage. Yet, all reviewers still recommend the CR-V, Civic, and Accord with the 1.5l engine. Why? After 3 years of ownership, I have mixed feelings about this car. The 1.5l turbo engine provides excellent gas mileage. Although it is noisy and doesn't like high rpms. Also, idles with a bit of vibration. Perhaps it's characteristic of a turbo engine, but I do not like the feeling when I give the gas that it feels underpowered till the turbo kicks in. It reminds me of one of my old cars that had carburetor issues in the past. Also, I cannot stand the entire heater/AC touchscreen design. I take my eyes off the road while driving more than anyone on a cell phone just trying to reduce the fan speed or put the AC on.

I've owned multiple BMWs over the years and this car is as close to that performance as I've ever encountered. Mine is a 4 door and was a CPO car with 46K on it when I bought it December 2020 for $17.5K. The most fun to drive, and still gets 42+ mpg. The best car purchase decision I ever made. The six speed manual gives control that you never achieve with a CVT, and in my opinion will outlast the CVT. I've owned many Hondas including 3 motorcycles, and this car is the most fun of all of them! Try it, you'll LOVE it!

This car is extremely reliable, sleek looking, and beautiful interior is what makes this car worth buying! I’ve had mine for 3 years now, no issues at all. I have the LX model, plain Jane. But it has sport mode which gives it a little speedy boost. I love how cheap it is on fuel, I rarely need to fill up if Im just driving around town. The features are awesome, I love the touch screen display. Although one thing I hate is the volume button isn’t a nob, it’s a touch button on the side which makes it hard to turn down quickly. The apple carplay is wonderful, it’s a must these days! Overall I’m completely satisfied with this vehicle and plan on keeping it in my family for a long time :)

I like almost everthing about this car. Handling, comfort, amenities and most of all economy. A couple things I would have liked are heated steering wheel, and lumbar support in the drivers seat. Nothing else to complain about for the price.

I leased the 2018 Honda Civic LX in March 2021. I decided to keep it and continue to pay it off. Now in 2023 after already having to replace the fuel actuator door in 2022 my AC compressor is defective and Honda refuses to cover that cost. They initially wanted me to pay $2000. It is defective I only have 34,585 miles on the car and three years left to pay it off. During this process of trying to get them to take responsibility for the compressor I had a rude service technician who sealed the deal with me never wanting to buy another Honda and looking into filing a civil complaint against the company instead of being open to contributing to the cost for something that is obviously defective I don’t recommend Honda anymore and certainly don’t buy a civic when there’s a recall on the condenser which runs in tandem with the compressor and the second opinion I got doesn’t agree with Honda.

The 10th gen civic is one of the best economy cars for people that like to enjoy their drives. The car is very stable at high speeds and you don’t get any sort of vibrations or rattling when you push the car. The engine as a whole is powerful enough for any sort of quick overtake you may need to accomplish. The interior styling along with infotainment system are top notch. Having owned three separate 10th GEN civics, I have noticed sensor issues are decently common, so make sure to take care of your sensors and the underside of the car to ensure the wires are kept out of exposure, especially if you live somewhere that snows. Also, kept me safe during an 80kmph t bone collision, saving my life and leaving me with minor physical injuries compared to what it could have been. Overall, super reliable car, and one of the best cars you can get for under 20 K. I cannot recommend it enough.

I've never owned a Honda. Ive always believed they were to expensive for my cheap budget. During covid when the government was giving out free money, I decided to give up my SUV days and get a car that would save me on gas. Walked into carmax and this baby was practically giving to me for a good deal due to a red tag sale they were having. First let me start off by saying I drove the car 4 years before I realized what the s-drive meant(sport). Put it to the test and I love it. My daughter would always raise her hands like she on a roller coaster and say GO! 🤣 . I take running late to a different meaning now. Maintenance: The car tells you with codes when something needs to be done. Ive had my regular oil changes which costs me about $90 at my local Kwik Car, changing air filter, rotating tires, brake flush, transmission flush which cost me about $200. Being a REALTOR and haven to drive alot, i ve had this car going on 5 years with 170,000 miles and the only problem I've had was to change the battery twice. Be careful, when the battery is down on the newer cars it makes it seems if it's an electrical problem. Other mechanics was telling me I needed an alternator or the starter is out (Not) Only the battery both times. I'm in the market now for a SUV and I'm debating on an Audi, Genesis, or another Honda. I LOVE MY HONDA CIVIC

I just want to say that this has been the best present I've ever received from my parents. My family and I decided to head down to the David McDavid Honda of Irving and I'm glad we did. I was greeted by Ann Stone and she provided great customer service. She was also very professional and made sure to provide me with a car based off of my want/needs. I'm grateful that Ann was the one who helped me when I went to the dealership. I'm so pleased with my new car and the features that it has to offer. Great car and the people working in this location are so welcoming and friendly. If you're looking to purchase a car in the Dallas Metroplex area, I would definitely suggest going to David McDavid Honda of Irving. You won't be disappointed! They make sure to fully satisfy their customer's needs.

We bought our 2018 civic 2 years ago and it's been in the shop about 8 times since than. They are usually little repairs but they always seem to slip out of honoring their warranty. Climate control is not good at all as well. If you want hot you get hot, if you want cold you get cold, but there is no in between. Windshield foggs up instantly if blower isn't on. And one more little thing, you'd think not having a volume knob would wouldn't be a big deal, but it is! Biggest thing is the unreliability though.
