I just turned 70 & when I told my friends that I was thinking of a Honda Civic, one response was:"CIVIC??!! That's what people get their kids when they graduate college!" NOT!! Well, they almost shamed me into getting the accord..Paper work was done & ready for a signature but I couldn't take my eyes off the Civic EX in the showroom..white with tan interior & side body moldings, which added so much to the car..it was beautiful & so sporty looking .. Long story short...we ripped up the paper work on the accord & I bought the Civic & haven't been happier.. It drives like a dream & the turbo engine really puts "umph" in the drive.. The control panel has everything at your finger tips.. The ACC cruise control, auto high beams, assisted lane, etc...it's just wonderful.. If you want a really sporty looking & handling car, don't look any where else.. Do I have to say I love this car???

The 2020 a Honda Civic proved to be a really good value. The styling though a bit over done is still fresh, the standard fearures available at its price and the roomy midsize level interior along with a nice size trunk made it promising on first glance. But what made me purchase this vehicle is when i test drive the vehicle. I test drove the Civic Sport with 2.0 liter engine. I was impressed at how the CVT transmission and the engine performed together along with the quick and sporty handling. And that it was decently equipped at its price. I ultimately went for the Civic EX-T for that 1.5 liter turbo engine, sunroof, and power seats along with the 8 speaker stereo system. That engine is more fuel efficient and effortless to get up to speed compared to the 2.0 naturally aspirated engine in the sport though the 2.0 liter still performed admirably. The 1.5T also was more quiet and refined compared to the 2.0 engine which sounded very coarse and noisy. Where the Civic wasn’t so impressive were just a few areas. The interior seemed not so high quality. It’s is stylish and still looks fresh for a car that came out in 2016. The interior fit and finish looks great and there is injected molded plastics on the dash and for panels for soft touch quality feel but the rear seat compartment is just hard touch plastic everywhere. Also the glove compartment cheaply falls upon opening. I wish it had damping cords to prevent that. There is a lot of road noise as well. While driving around town it’s not too bad but getting on the turnpike, you can hear the tires howl and when road textures change, noise infiltrates the interior significantly. Coming from a Chevy Cruze, that car’s interior was very quiet compared to this Civic. However with the stereo system On, you forget about the road noise obviously. Honda Link infotainment is nice and customizable but the interface seams laggy and out dated. The availability of android auto and Apple CarPlay made up for those minor downfalls. Lastly the tire pressure monitor system is disappointing. I picked up a nail and the system did alert me about a tire losing pressure but did not specifically tell me which tire, I had to figure it out with the a tire pressure gage to find the tire with the slow leak. GM’s TPMS system is far more intelligent and I hope that Honda improves in this department. Also no blind spot monitoring. The lane watch camera is cool but when merging into a left lane I notice there isn’t any blind spot monitoring. However the lane watch makes up for not having blind spot monitoring. Otherwise a lot of safety tech is on board and works very well Overall I do enjoy this vehicle and have no regrets on my purchase. It is also fast turning me into a Honda fan when I have shunned the brand prior for other reasons. All the standard features and safety tech on board along with fuel efficiency and practicality and strong performance for its class makes this car hard to ignore. I highly recommend this vehicle so far. Update: so far still enjoying my purchase of the Civic. Though the 2022 Civic is looking enticing, this 10th generation I purchased is still satisfying and fun to drive. And so far reliable. No mechanical hiccups to mention as of yet. However I did receive a product advisory from Honda. Due a faulty air conditioning condenser, the part has been extended to 10 years under warranty. If I keep the car that long then I am covered. Lastly the infotainment system is the Achilles heel if the Civic. Very glitchy compared to others and laggy..I wish Honda could update and change the user interface layout. Otherwise no complaints. So far I am still happy with my purchase and continue to enjoy every drive

I recently leased my first 2020 Civic Ex-L and I'm amazed with how much power the 1.5 turbo has and the mpg rating it gets. The car drives like a dream and feels roomy on the inside. The leather seats are insanely comfortable. I could not be happier!! 10/10 recommend test driving one and seriously considering it!

I love this car! It has so many bells & whistles from Apple CarPlay to Lane departure warnings. I am a gadget person & this car is not a let down. This year has the larger engine - you can feel the added power. I love the upgraded rims & all the black trim which my 2017 model didn’t have. Also has the Kane keeping assist system - steering wheel will steer & vibrate when you leave your lane without blinker on. With cruise control on it will allow you to set the distance to maintain between you & car in front of you - and will stop if you get too close. Very comfortable car and it looks great!
