My little space ship...
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???

A car so good, no wonder everyone buys one
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

Best quality car I've ever driven
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!

My second civic sedan
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!

Who would want that feature?
I love my new civic except that sometimes the windows roll down by themselves at night. I've been told the fob is sensitive when it's in a pocket or bag. So where do I keep the keys. Also, at night my keys are hanging on the wall. I live in Canada, we have weather, this is going to create a lot of damage to the car. Why is there a feature on the fob that lowers the windows?
2020 Honda Civic Sport Sedan
My 2016 Civic Coupe Touring was totalled and just purchased a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan. Its a bit of a downgrade compared from the top of the line Touring that Im used to, but I’m loving it so far and as always, fun to drive! However, just a few bones to pick with Honda, you would they could afford to put some small little cheap light bulbs in the visors or a moonroof for a Sport trim that comes standard with a Corolla Sport! With that said, I love the vehicle, I will do some simple mods like getting LED headlights, front lip, side skirts, and smoke out the tail lights. But after a year, will upgrade to an SI trim! #teamhonda #lightsonvisorsforthesport

It gets me place to place but the best part about the car are the features. I love the side camera on the right and how it comes with an automatic start in the key already. I love how it’s a smaller car too.

modest mobile
I picked up a 2020 civic sport in agean blue last spring for my long commute. Fuel economy and reliability were my main concerns. I found my marked down ride in a nearby small town that wanted to get this unsold 2020 off the lot as the 21 models were already on display. I was happy to find the remarkable interior room in the car and the ex options such as remote start, heated seats, power driver seat' sunroof and dual zone climate controls. Performance is adequate handling is awesome steering and braking like a corvette. Passing on a two lane is dangerous as the car is a little slow for top end acceleration. Road noise is quite loud. The sport rims are easy to damage as there is no side wall to rub against the curb only your rims to scratch against the concrete. For some reason the windows tend to fog up easily although the defogger takes care of that quickly. I have never owned a car that would fog up even in the summertime in the morning as this one does. I have buyers regret as the performance is so bad otherwise its a great little car.

Love my car
I moved over from a Mini Cooper S to Civic Touring Edition. The Mini Cooper was fun to drive, but it was just starting to get expensive to own. This Civic has a lot of the bells and whistles I was looking for. The CVO transmission feels a bit lazy to me, so I am very thankful for the paddle shifters. I am averaging 36-37 mpg on regular gas, where the Mini averaged 33 on premium gas. I lost a bit of power switching to the Civic, but I am happy, hoping that I once again have that Honda reliability.

Wonderful car, awkward infotainment system
My 2020 civic offers an excellent ride, both smooth and quiet. Driving over Colorado mountain passes is quite easy and one won't bog down even over the steepest passes. Gas mileage around town and on the road is beyond good. The car handles like a small sports car. I love to drive my car. The downside is your carplay system. I bought the car three months ago and roughly 6 times it has just stopped worked. One solution is to completely reboot the system which is inconvenient. One time, even after rebooting it refused to acknowledge I was plugged into the USB. After hours of frustration I called a friend and just the act of making a call using Bluetooth made the Carplay active. Good grief. Not exactly user friendly. Using the radio and Bluetooth system is ok but at times quite clumsy and time consuming. It is strange to me that Honda engineered such an amazing car for driving - I give it a solid A - and such a poor infotainment system - _ I would give it a solid D. And yes, I most certainly have talked to the dealership a number of times and they could not help me. Denial? I hope Honda goes back to the drawing board and fixes these problems.

Loathe my 2020 Honda Civic in 2023
1. The trunk opens when I turn the key in the ignition. The alert has a long lag so I have had to pull over in traffic to slam the trunk closed. Put a key hole back in the trunk lid and get it off the key! Terrible design flaw. 2. The alert for Tire Pressure has such a long lag it didn't light up until my leaking front tire was completely flat. Again, stranded in traffic. Bad sensors. Long Alert lag time. Design flaw. 3. The low, unsupportive driver seat makes my back ache, my hips ache, and my knees hurt. I am average height for an American woman 5'4" and average weight 120. Driving this car is like sitting in a hole. Design flaw.
Super fun to drive!
We traded in our honda crv 2017 LX model for the for the 2020 Civic EX as it loved driving my lease vehicle in another state.battery kept dying on the CRV. It is a dream to drive and iso so smooth and fun! I have some issues though. Once in a while my touch screen for Apple car play disconnects when my phone is charging. One time my back up camera was working and was just a bright yellow. If it happens again i will take my car in. I am not a fan of the blind spot camera when i turn on my right side blinker. The automatic brake system when you are a little close to other cars can be frustrating and sometimes brakes very hard. Makes it safer but ive never had an issue with read ending in this car. At least i know i cant slam into anybody in the front. Overall though i love my stylish interior and out of my civic. Best color would be cosmic metallic blue. ;) it is a super safe car. Highly highly recommend!

A Car You Can Count On
I purchased this car to replace a 2018 Civic that was destroyed in an accident. The car saved me from death and/or serious injury. The newer model is very similar: easy to operate, smooth, many convenient features included. I went straight back to Muller Honda because of the consistently excellent service I have received there.

Tech issues from the start
Apple CarPlay does not work with their newer models. Any vehicle that is 2019 and up is reporting issues with their CarPlay. Honda currently doesn’t a have solution to these problems. They are aware of them but refuse to fix them.
If it wasn't for the slushy transmission..
The car is great, typical Honda quality stuff but Jesus Lord Honda needs to get rid of the [non-permissible content removed] CVT transmission, it is horrible, when you stomp on the gas it goes no where, the engine rpma come up but the car is a snail. I understand they did it for economy but it a horrible thats my only gripe.

Planet Honda is Wonderful!!
Meena and the team at Planet Honda were absolutely wonderful in working with us! We had a limited and fixed budget and they were able to get us the car we’ve been after for over two years!!! They worked with us and met us where we were and did not try to oversell us! We would recommend any friend or family member to come buy a car from here! They made the process and painless and dare I say, enjoyable!

Cheap plastic parts
My Honda Civic & my daughters Honda Civic have plastic parts that break easily. Visors and other plastic parts that are made now on these Civics are cheaply made. Reviews on line other people have complained about the same issue. Years ago the parts were better made! The manufacturer will not recall these visors unless your paying out the but for their extended warranties....otherwise the cost “per visor” w/install is $157.00 at the dealership. If you live in Fredericksburg, Va the Pohanka Honda Dealership is the worst one to have to deal with. They have service managers that are not about good customer service ...it’s all about making as much money as the can from you. By the way they are all individually owned and thirsty for as much money as they can get out of you. A mechanic broke an item on the interior my vehicle and they would not own up to it. I WOULD NOT BUY A HONDA AT ALL...BUY A TOYOTA AS THEY ARE A BETTER MADE CAR AND EXCELLENT TO DO BUSINESS WITH! I also own a Toyota Corolla & what a difference.

A perfect compact car with zippy fun!
I am writing this because my 2019 Hyundai Sonata is getting a dent , and repaint from a mysterious parking lot accident! This 2020 HONDA CIVIC was my rental car , and what a joy, and pleasure it was to drive , and really fun to go around corners, and that without missing a beat! This car grips the road, has a good ride quality, great engine, and transmission, and to me the best looking CIVIC that HONDA has ever built! I look the sharp lines , the headlights, and taillights, and the fit , finish are awesome! The rental was an lower end model with lots of plastic, but the quality was still there! The seats are very comfortable , but ride a bit too low for me , and that does making get out of the car a bit rough, compared to my 2019 HYUNDAI SONATA limited! If I knew how good this generation of CIVIC was , I would have traded my old car for this , in the higher trim level! Great car , and if you like it , but one before the 2022 comes out , and get a good deal ! Thanks, and please note I still love my 2019 SONATA , it is my poor man's. GENESIS!

Best car in its class for what it is
First Honda I've ever owned. Was shocked at the driving dynamics the second I test drove it. Also, the interior is very well thought-out/ergonomic. This car functions exactly how it should, which is a phenomenal daily driver. 10th generation Honda Civic really knocked the ball out of the park with this one! Going to be hard to beat for the price.

Truly a great car
I really loved this car. You really get a lot for your money in terms of tech, safety, and performance in the EX and touring trims. I still miss our EX! Pros: The turbo engine really gives this car some pep. It's held back slightly by the CVT but the tradeoff is great fuel economy. It's still a fun car to drive. The ride is comfortable as are the seats. The front seats are wonderful even for taller people (like me) and the rear seats are fairly spacious for a car in this class. I found Honda Sensing to be pretty good, personally. The adaptive cruise does its job well and the steering assist is gentle but accurate. Cons: Very low to the ground, even for a sedan, so you kind of have to climb in and out and it's easy to bottom out. I found the blind spot cam pretty cumbersome so I turned it off. Glad they gave the new gen blind spot detectors. The HVAC controls are slightly annoying but usable. Overall, this was a great car where the pros far outweigh the cons: Fun to drive, efficient, and comfortable.
