Reviews for Honda Civic
Overall Rating
4.5 out of 5 (445 reviews)
this is my daily driver, it my not be as nimble or as fast as my other civic, which has a k20 swap and is heavily modified. But being an almost 3000 lb car it's actually pretty nimble, it has great gas mileage and unlike my other civic has air conditioning( I've been driving without it for so long I've literally forgotten the convenience.) It also looks great it was well kept by all of the owners who've had it, which might not have been for that long but a lot can happen to a car in a couple of months.
Pros
- Cost to Maintain: its not expensive to maintain, being a honda all it really needs are oil changes and maybe tores when they wear
- Fuel Economy: it's great on gas.
- Reliability: hasn't left me stranded and runs very smooth.
Cons
- Visibility: you can see fine. the only reason im putting this here is because its lower to the ground the visibility is actually pretty bad in traffic because the majority of people are driving SUV's they pull up behind with their lights on and the amount of light that reflects in the the car is literally blinding I hate it so much I have to stop myself from pulling the other person out of there care for pulling up too close.
- Cabin Noise: I got used to cabin noise in all of my older civics even with stripped interior the cabin noise wasn't ridiculous. But this civic has a good bit of cabin noise especially with highway driving. it's loud enough you cant hear music when the volume is between 10-17.
First, I was a truck guy. I stepped out of a diesel F-250 and into a hatch because I was looking at a commute of over 150 miles a day. I was looking around at smaller vehicles because I wanted something with reasonable fuel economy and comfort. I am a tall guy, at over 6' and 200+lbs... small cars generally feel like sardine cans to me. The car as exceeded my expectations on all marks. I log my fuel mileage at every fillup, the car claims my average fuel mileage is 42MPG, my log shows an average across all tanks of 40 MPG. I have to admit, it took two weeks of tuning driving habits to optimize my mileage, I stepped from 80MPH to 65 MPH with a sample size of at least two tanks. 70 MPH is the sweet spot between economy in fuel and time.
Pros
- Fuel Economy: 40 MPG at 70, 42MPG at 65
- Ride and Handling: Sporty, easy to drive, and fun.
- Power: The turbo kicks in and you have all the power you want to get on the freeway.
Cons
- Technology and Entertainment: The honda radio's bluetooth module freezes.
- Cabin Noise: My wife complains of road noise on the passenger side.
- Weather Versatility: It likes to push corners on ice.

Well initially when I went to see my Honda Civic SI I came with a budget and intentions of trading my other vehicle with that one. I ended up leaving with my SI keys in hand, no down payment and still kept my old vehicle. I do not have the best credit but CarMax was able to work with me and find a bank willing to work with me to get my car. I am in love and so happy with my purchase! I definitely recommend going to them and just try! You never know what surprises come out and what banks are willing to work with you. The only thing they can say is either a yes or no, have to be willing to test your luck.
Pros
- Power: I love the power it has and in a matter of seconds my SI is going top speeds.
- Fuel Economy: It has great fuel economy, my full tank last me 1 week and half since I primarily work from home and only have to go get my kids from school.
- Technology and Entertainment: I love the technology it has, it has crash impact detection and also advises when you are to close to a vehicle ahead. I also love the passenger mirror camera it has to change lanes!
Cons
- Weather Versatility: I don't think it will be good to drive in the winter when snow hits.
