2015 Honda Civic

noise

Very quiet - my passengers think it is electric, the engine noise is that low.

Engine is powerful without being noisy, accessories, blue tooth phone, radio FM / CD, USB ports.

pressure

Other than the acceleration, there is also a problem with the tire pressure light alert that appears every time you start the car, even with properly inflated tires.

PROS- gas mileage, low maintenance, blind spot monitor

CONS- very difficult to steer straight on highways, cvt, droning engine, tpms indicating false low pressure, very uncomfortable seats

Overall, it's just an ok car.

radio

The radio layout is very awkwardly designed on the LX model, as

A little disappointed with the radio not having apple carplay

The interior is fairly dep so I have to have the seat in the highest position to see whats happenning over the hood

Likes:
Nice radio, Seats material is soft in the module I bought, has eco function..

fuel

This car has very good fuel economy and reliability.

It drives really smoothly and gets great gas mileage, which is also a huge perk.

Very good gas mileage and this is a peppy car.

Great in gas, 35MPG,
Very comfortable and will go for weeks w same tank.

Excellent purchase for affordable reliability.I bought this for gas mileage and a small footprint in the garage.

I use this car on commercial needs and drive 4 to 5 hundred miles a day and am so happy about performance specially on gas consumption.

It's great on gas and gets me to where I need to go.

comfortable

Super reliable and with mine being the ex-l it’s comfortable and has nice features.

This is the third Honda Civic I have purchased I am enjoying all the updates on the 2015 I traded in a 2010 Honda Civic  enjoying backup camera side mirrors  car is comfortable and drives well

Great look and comfort at a very reasonable price.

The car looks great, runs well, gets great gas mileage, and is relatively comfy for longer car rides.

Plenty of trunk space as well as comfortable passenger space

Comfortable, reliable, dependable, great on gas, great looking car.

Lots of comfort and ample room for passengers.

Its comfortable, drives smooth and I love the audio/ phone controls on the steering wheel.

reliable

They're known for being absurdly reliable for quite literally 50 years now.

This is all you need, most reliable , full options, great family or your kids car.

Very reliable, and low miles for a Honda.

I bought this car because I needed something reliable for work.

mileage

Low mileage, cold air, no body damage or scratches, very clean interior.

but with really low mileage and great options.

This vehicle is a great vehicle and it is very MPG conscious!

More importantly it gets great gas mileage around town (33)and on long highway drives (40).

Great car, I typically got 43 mpg highway, very low maintenance costs, size makes it perfect for driving around town.

interior

It has a slick exterior and a nicely updated interior.

Great performance as well as interior design.

This car is perfect for me, price was right, mileage was low, interior and exterior in awesome shape.

Absolutely love the car, inside and out .

The interior front area is cozy, yet comfortable, even for longer than average trips, while the rear really is for lesser height-endowed passengers.

but it had great power and I liked the interior styling better than the exterior.

Great gas mileage, excellent handling, decent amount of power and comfortable seats & interior.

2012 Honda Civic

At 90,000 miles had to replace front left drive axle ,also rear shocks, door checks had to be replaced, car has to much road noise even with new new tires.

The interior road noise isn't bad if you go into it reminding yourself this is an economy car and that it won't be quiet on the level of a luxury car (car was brand new about 24-25k with leather, don't expect quietness)

Road noise is the only complaint I have about the car on the highway.

The interior is mostly hard molded plastic, previous Honda Civics owned were 2000 LX and 2004 Civic EX and seemed to have better interior quality and a little less road noise.

This is my 3rd Civic, and Honda definitely cut corners on this model, cheap interior plastic, horrible road noise and uncomfortable seats.

Windshield wipers will squeak and streak regardless of brand.

The clutch started squeaking around 75000miles

failure

We have had 2 issues which were unexpected and they were: failed thermostat which I replaced shortly after the warranty expired (about &#36;75 to install myself along with coolant flush), and a failed A&#47;C part which was located behind the dash that a mechanic had to repair so the refrigerant could be disposed of properly.

I do have a 2012 civic, a little dissatisfied with a failure on the ABS control module.

When the clear coat failed at 40,000 miles I was disappointed in Honda quality.

At 500 miles the traction control unit failed, followed by the A/C failing at 3000 miles, and then at 5000 miles the emission control module went out.

The focus had bad reviews on the transmission, and the Cruze had bad reviews on the gasket and cooling system failure.

The 1st thing to fail was the traction control unit at 500 miles, then the A/C went out at 1,500 mile.

3- the very next day the car died on me, it would not start so I had AAA take the car on a flatbed truck to the dealer and their I was told that I had a faulty cell in my Honda's brand new battery.

And I may have a faulty sound system: every once in a while, the volume just dips intermittently, for radio or CD (playing mp3s).

With the competition ratcheting up the pressure on Honda, I was a bit disappointed to see Honda fail at adding some additional content to the vehicle for the money they are demanding.

brake

All repairs have literally been just general maintenance:  tires, breaks, rear struts and a battery.

I drive normally and don’t floor the gas pedal or brake hard.

Never an issue other than routine tires, brakes, oil and wipers.

If you don't like drum brakes, well this LX has rear drums, and I find that to be a total turn off considering it's a modern car and drums are pretty inefficient at stopping the car compared to discs all around.

We rejected the Elantra right away as the drive was choppy and the breaks touchy and after 20 mins in the drivers seat my back was really sore and the radio didn't seem to work???

First, this is an ecomony car and while there's adequate performance, if you want sportiness buy something with a larger engine, turbocharger, mega brakes, sport suspenstion, etc.

The awful parking brake has been replaced so as not to rub on the right side of the leg.

battery

Never broke down except for a dead battery!

camera

It doesn't have a backup camera or electronic seats,  and it is not cheap to change the oil, in fact it is quite expensive, ($120).

Basically, you can purchase a 2012 model using these key points at a huge discount and just pay a little bit more out of pocket to incorporate Bluetooth and a back-up camera!

With the price of gas in 2022 it’s starting to look better &#38; better !

but it’s extremely reliable, easy to drive, and has pretty good gas mileage.

it delivers great gas mileage and is near maintenance free.

The gas mileage was what got my attention at first on this car,

Great car and very good on gas, i used to own a honda civic a older model so this is why i bought another one.

Very reliable, excellent gas mileage, and I have no doubt it'll last much longer.

The civic meets all my needs in value and performance, excellent gas mileage, comfort, and reliabilty.

Mileage better than 41 mpg with a best of 47 plus .

Cars is perfect for a new car owner low maintenance and still gets great gas mileage and would trust it to go anywhere.up keep us very low and has everything you need inside

This car is dependable, has good gas mileage, and is comfortable.

It's been more than reliable with minimal maintenance being done like rotors and pads, air filters, spark plugs, frequent MTF changes and oil changes.

Great in snow, efficient, reliable, nice design, flexible trunk, CD player, and cruise are all nice on this car we purchased used.

It is reliable, fast for the cost and a lot of fun to drive!

It's reliable, it's fun to drive, parts are affordable, it just does what it's supposed to do EVERY time.

The car is as comfortable as can be and reclines far enough for car naps.

The heated leather seats are so comfortable and the vehicle’s compact size was safe and perfect for my daily work commute.

Seats are very comfortable as I've taken many long trips with no complaints.

This car meets all I need good price , excellent on gas really economy car  runs perfect nice and clean, family  car and comfortable perfect color I love it.

I absolutely love this car, tons of legroom, smooth ride, comfort, style, and so much more.

ride

This car was the first car I purchased on my own and I loved everything from the chic exterior to the smooth ride.

but the smooth ride, and overall great driving experience has held it.

I have always used my car for work, first as an outside sales representative and now that I have retired as a ride share driver.

It has plenty of legroom front and back, the ride is great compared to other cars.

Excellent ride, safe, economic and Reliable.

I have a lot of cool gadgets I get to play with and also a nice smooth ride.

The car is very comfortable with plenty of leg room, the ride is very smooth.

Comfortable ride with good gas consumption.

2013 Honda Civic

Even under the hood is easy to check the oil, add windshield washer fluid, and easily check the battery.

The car has newly installed battery from Sams.

Recently changed brake fluid, transmission fluid, and battery.

Don't have to worry about running your battery down, and as the base model you have to leave some things for the upper trims.

the battery died fast, 2 nd gear is very hard to get into ( stick shift).

The Prius was over $8000 more to only get a few extra miles per gallon and you don't have to worry about battery life.

gear

Sometimes feels like it wants to shift to the next gear

Gear shifting is so-so, not as smooth as it could be.

The engine can be a little sluggish at times in the initial gears,

The gear shift is a couple inches too high & the D shift position should be where the D1 position is.

windshield

There are blind spots at the corners of the windshield

There are some features I wish the car had, mainly fully intermittent wipers and automatic on/off headlamps.

No variable wiper setting, just one intermittant speed.

I do not like the continuous glare on the front windshield and no back windshield wiper.. other than that everything is going great.

acceleration

Acceleration is poor with the A&#47;C on.

The only complaint I have is that accelerating is very labored with the Ecoboost.

The only negative is the trunk is small (but made bigger on the newer models) and could use more acceleration power on entrances to the Interstates.

Also, the acceleration is better than 2013 Toyota Corolla,

shifter

The automatic transmission shifter had a vibration/noise coming from it, dealer replaced it, still has a sound, so they are replacing things along the way in an effort to find the cause.

I would reccomend anyone who puts lots of miles..
great gas saver.

Want a sleek ride with excellent gas mileage?

We all know that Honda civics are super reliable and good on gas.

This car is amazingly responsive, the fuel economy above expectations, ride is acceptable, and drivability is super!

Great for commuting or long drives with excellent fuel efficiency.

Awesome car, great on gas, super stylish, and dependable.

Incredible gas mileage, never had a problem with anything.

I get a solid 35-36 miles a gallon in town.

60,000 &gt;Excellent milage It has been cared for as per the manual.

This car met all the needs and has less mileage.

Roomy for moving stuff, economical: great MPG.

Car is fun to drive and gets great fuel economy (avg 34 mpg).

Average between 30 to 35 mpg which is amazing.

This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned out of 6 cars (1Ford, 2 Toyotas, 1 Geo an 2 other Hondas.

It is very reliable car which can be for one person of a small family, My wife used for 6 years with no problem at all

Vehicle is very reliable and was well maintained from previous owner, came upgraded with a few goodies like front headlights tail lights spoiler window tints and rain guards

Safety rating very good, Reliable, economical and affordable car for a new driver.

Very reliable and I’ve always kept it maintained.

All service from the dealer, no accident reported, economic and very comfortable

Climate control works well and the seats are comfortable.

Great with speed and comfortable space to drive.

Smooth and comfortable ride is guaranteed with this car.

Sporty styling, comfortable interior, ample leg room and a reliable automatic transmission for the new generation.

This car is great steering is incredibly soft suspension soft also ride quality is great no funny noises inside the cabin on bad roads its comfortable and its very spacious inside.

Economical reliable comfort transportation.

Very quiet and comfortable for those longer road trips plus nice and peppy for city driving.

The ride is comfortable and handling is safe, sure, and predictable.

feature

This car is a good family car it is small and compact perfect size for a small family and very nice features excellent holding to the road

It’s an EXL with heated leather seats, moon roof, spoiler, sports package, upgraded stereo system, and Bluetooth.

I love the backup camera and Bluetooth plus all the safety features too.

Value for money in terms on features and comfort and performance.

It is great as a starter vehicle and the standard features are phenomenal.

Great gas mileage, features galore, and a new redesign that turns heads.

This is very good vehicle had good features like blue tooth, power windows, rear camera, digital speed meter, remote lock.

2014 Honda Civic

The door seals are already going bad and the car has terrible road noise.

The Civic handles curves really well and there is virtually no interior noise.

The ONLY complaint i would have is the cabin noise is a bit loud

Right front wheel was always slipping on the speed bumps and making a loud noise they said it's nothing, and also when I first start to drive daily I hear a click sound from the right front wheel side, they also said it's nothing,

The interior fit and finish is nice and after all these months I have no squeaks or rattles.

Minor complaints-road noise from the tires.

but after changing the tires and using the same wheels, the hub caps came loose and are rattling on the wheels now, all people turn around and look at you because your car is really noisy at low speeds and rougher street surface so you are driving a new car that sound like a combine.

After the 3rd month, I started hearing noise coming from the interior parts.

My mpg right now is 36 and no squeaks or rattles.

The new Honda Civic is prone to excessive road noise in the passenger compartment.

The repair expenses so far has only been oil changes and the occasional windshield wiper blade replacement.

I don't like the style of the windshield wipers either.

My only complaint is really only the fact that the LX intermittent wipers only have 1 speed.

but those weigh heavy:

1.fluid used for ac causes a film on the windshield, always dirty, I am not able to clean this windshield from the inside, I tried everything.

The taller drivers don't like driving it at night, as the lighting on the dashboard reflects on the inside of the windshield and it makes it harder to see out.

transmission

I have had it for less than 3 months and transmission went out.

Transmission on an old car broke down about two days back, and I was in a terrible bind!

The 5 speed manual transmission is very easy to use,  clutch took me only a week or two to get used to (first manual car XD) and the only service that I've needed so far was to have one of my tires patched after running over a nail.

I heard that CVT is less reliable and powerful than traditional automatic transmission system.

I would prefer the traditional transmission.

The CVT transmission is great, has a little flaw known as "yo-yo effect" which can be really annoying at times.

I'm not a huge fan of the CVT transmission

Transmission is terrible, does not shift properly.

wheel

After some fiddling,I was able to adjust the seat and steering wheel so I can see the speedometer and rest of the dash.I knew Honda or any other major car manufacturer would not produce a car with such a major design flaw.Since I've adjusted my seat,however,I've noticed that the iMid (backup cam/media/car info) screen gets a lot of glare here in Miami,where the summer sun is strong.I'm aiming to fix this with an anti-glare screen protector or strategically placed visor.If that doesn't work,I'm going to have to adjust my seat again and hope there's a sweet spot where I can see everything and reach everything without the glare.

Wheels do not spin when acceleration is increase.

Dashboard is elegant and ergonomically designed;however,from the angle I sit at,the steering wheel blocks the speedometer,which would be a major concern if I didn't already know I was speeding(in all seriousness,it is a major design oversight,but if you just move around in your seat,it can easily be overcome).Trunk space is larger than I thought it was going to be,so you shouldn't have a problem transporting anything other than long,unwieldy items,like surfboards.

When you place your arm on the middle armrest, you cannot reach the steering wheel, so the armrest is not actually an armrest, instead, it is a place to put your stuff inside.

Center console is too far back to rest my arm on, so my arms just hang from steering wheel.

speed

Speed bumps can be an issue, and if you are older with a disability that hinders your movement I'd be sure to test the car to make sure it isn't too low for you.

Love the fuel economy - especially now that gas is over &#36;3.25 per gallon!

This cat gets great gas mileage,  37 hwy, 35 city.

The gas mileage is great; I can't wait for this summer and being able to road trip a little more.
