I just picked up one of these. Would have never considerd a civic but the dealer near me was having great deals on them. Boy am i glad I went to look. The 2014 Civic is smooth, large on the inside and very fuel efficent. Everything is put together very well and the car is very solid. I never lack for power and hope to have this car for many years to come.

We got a great deal on a lease and traded in a Prius that needed a new hybrid battery pack. Honda has always been my wife's favorite. This is our third new Honda. All you do is change the oil and put in gas. You can't kill it. It just keeps going. We have the base LX, but it is still a beautiful car with excellent fit and finish. It doesn't lack any features that we miss. The interior is pretty with hard ugly plastics mostly banished and replaced with soft colorful materials. Gas mileage is great and we achieved the E.P.A. estimate of 39 m.p.g.on a long highway trip. Upholstery stains easily. Too much road noise seeps into the cabin. Plastic wheel covers are not attractive.

My second Civic one year later

Excellent value for the money, Honda reliability and resale. CVT takes some getting used to, very good MPG with or without the Econ feature activated, awesome highway car! This is my second Honda Civic. I replaced my 1994, also purchased new, one year ago. I love this car, especially the back up camera and handling. The ride over some city streets is a bit choppy but the OEM tires probably contribute to that. I find it a joy to drive on the highway without the road noise or driving fatigue that I experienced with my smaller old Civic. The CVT shifts smoothly and is different than a conventional automatic transmission, but I have not had any of the problems that some people mention. I like the sound system and being able to interface my IPad with the audio display. The build quality is solid without any squeaks or rattles. I would recommend Honda to anyone thinking about purchasing a new car.

Love This Car!

After seeing many family members and friends over the years owning and loving their Hondas, I decided to give in and try one on myself. I am simply amazed. A compact car that is as roomy, comfortable, and quiet as a much larger, more expensive car. Steering feels great, turns quick, soaks up the bumps, sudden braking no problem, gives the driver a feeling of confidence. Acceleration could be a little better but it's acceptable from a 4 cylinder with automatic. I've gotten 37 mpg combined city-highway. Incredible value for the money.

I bought this car 2 years ago Pre-owned with 32k miles on it. I haven’t even driven 20k miles since purchasing the car. I remember going way back to when I purchased the car, my check tire pressure light came on frequently (it still does) in a change of temperature or altitude (always happens on the same highway!! Weird!). Because I’m paranoid, I always check the tires when this comes on. They’re always fine. I recalibrate TPMS system myself and the light always goes away. However, strangest thing happened yesterday. I was in middle of 3 hour drive and I stopped at a rest stop to use bathroom. Came back out and started car and so many lights came on all at once, out of the blue (check brakes, ABS, VSA, Hill start, power steering, TPMS, and probably another one I’m forgetting). Of course, I freaked out (I have nightmares that this happens!). Highway assistance came and said the car looked fine, looked like computer problem. Drove it rest of way (1 hour) and it was fine. The next day we took to a mechanic and he said it was likely due to extremely low battery in car. He put new battery in. I’m surprised the battery was already low considering the fact I bought the car just over 2 years ago and haven’t even driven 20k miles on it. The car was used when we purchased and mechanic said the original battery was in the car- which means the car dealership didn’t even bother to put in a new battery when I bought it.. ugh! So anyway, the car should be fine now, fingers crossed. However, all these lights keep coming on. The mechanic wasn’t a Honda dealership and in order to get these lights to go away, I have to go to a Honda dealership to have computer system reset. This is important to me because since these systems come up as in need of being checked, the car will disable the system that is labeled as need of being checked (for example ABS will not work now until light it cleared away). Too scared to drive car on highway until it gets reset. I’m very frustrated with how sensitive this car is!
