Overview & Reviews
Since its launch in 1973, the Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars sold in America. Its success can be attributed in large part to its consistently high level of quality inside and out and its long-standing reputation for reliability and low running costs. Impressive fuel economy and engaging performance have also played a role in making the Civic a top choice for many Americans.
The competition has largely caught up with Honda, though, and there are now many excellent small cars vying for your attention. Still, we continue to recommend the Civic due to its ergonomic interior layout, wide range of models and high resale value. For small-car shoppers in search of a solid used vehicle, the Honda Civic is certainly a smart choice, as its long production run and many variants make it easy to find what you want.

Still love this car! - 2006 Honda Civic
By Lynn - June 19 - 6:40 amAt 10,000 miles I still love my Civic. Getting 36 mpg (34 when new) and the gas mileage keeps improving! Quiet engine. No squeaks, leaks or rattles. It was bought to replace an Acura Integra and it is hard to believe this is an economy car! This is also the most comfortable car Ive ever owned. Overall it seems to get better as it breaks in, or maybe Im just getting used to it.

Wish I still had my 91 - 1999 Honda Civic
By Redrock - June 18 - 12:38 pmBought this DX without test driving because I loved my 91 DX. Mistake. Honda completely changed the ergonomics: being 51" tall, Im unable to rest my right heel on the floor, am too close to the airbag, and the seatbelt cuts across my throat. I hate having to drive with my toes while my arms are cramped against the wheel. The throttle cable kinks and needs cleaning or replacement twice a year, otherwise the accelerator sticks. Whenever it rains hard, there is a gallon of water in the spare tire well. Mileage went DOWN from my 91 from 39 to 33 MPG average. Middle of the line stereo speakers blew quickly.

Problems with A/C - 2007 Honda Civic
By bobbo63 - June 17 - 7:52 pmI recently had a problem with car such that the a/c was blowing only hot air. A trip to dealer showed an undiscovered leak in the refrigerant from the system. They were unable to find the leak after 4 hours and have placed a dye in the refrigerant to try to find the pin hole leak. Ive never had this problem with a Japanese vehicle. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I now am supposed to drive the car for 3 months and return the vehicle for discovery of the leak.

First car - 2007 Honda Civic
By larseeri - June 17 - 3:45 pmThis car is a sweet ride. This is my first car and I love it. Imagine running in 3rd at 4500rpm and then you decided you want to pass someone slam the peddle down and let it rev up to 7500rpm getting thrown back into the seat and hearing a high revving 4cyl sounding like a Ferrari V8. Slam into 4th and let the V-tech scheme. What an experience. Going into coroners without any worry about how slow you need to go.

Its the Volkswagen Bug of the 1990s! - 1991 Honda Civic
By Paul W. Routt - June 16 - 12:57 pmI bought my 91 Honda Civic DX Hatchback brand new in October 1990. I still own it and have no plans to replace it. Theres absolutely no reason to replace it. The engine and transmission are the originals with over 365,000 miles on them. My car runs as well as it did the first time that I drove it off of the lot. The keys to its longevity are: (1) engineering design, (2) respect for my car, (3) luck, and (4) oil and oil filter changes every 2,000 miles. I get compliments for it all the time.

Best Honda Owned - 2005 Honda Civic
By rstbr493 - June 16 - 8:33 amI have always heard great things about Honda cars. I bought my 2005 Civic Si Hatchback, because of design quality in and out. Also the stock motor putting out 160 bhp, that was another factor for the purchase. And the race design suspension gives handling a new meaning.

Life-Long Honda Driver ! - 2006 Honda Civic
By Don Setterlof - June 15 - 1:30 pmI enjoy getting such positive comments about how attractive and sharp the car is from friends/family. The overall performance of the car exceeds all my expectations. Drives well, performs in all types of weather, and is basically a great auto to own! My experiences over the past 8 years as a Honda driver have been very positive, and I expect that to continue with my Civic!

Good buy for under 20K - 2007 Honda Civic
By DRE - June 15 - 11:10 amGot a new 07 LX manual for under 17k. Great vehicle. I get a "true" 37mpg just about all the time (~70% hwy) except for in the winter. While I wouldnt call it powerful, it does show oomph if revved high enough (if you have the manual). Corners well enough for an economy car though back end tends to slide out early. Only 4 complaints. The ABS seems to kick in prematurely when doing moderate braking. I had to get both sun visors replaced at about 16k miles. They were both coming apart and would eventually not even go up. Shocks/suspension makes noises when car is very cold (after a few miles it goes away). And as most Civic owners already know, its not the quietest ride.

Civic Hybrid - 2005 Honda Civic
By Guy Little - June 14 - 3:33 amThis was the first car I ever really test drove. I went about a block and half. Thought to myself Im buying this car. I have since put 27200 miles on it. Drove to Pa and back to Ohio from Ashville to Altoona. My MPG overall was 52.2 MPG for the round trip. It does get lower fuel economy during the winter months, but that is OK. It handles really well and have had absolutely no problems with this car.

Civic Hybrid ROCKS! - 2005 Honda Civic
By Byron - June 12 - 6:33 pmI just got really tired of filling up my Silverado at $50-$55 a fillup and only about 350 miles for that much cash, so I traded for the Civic Hybrid. Now I get over 600 miles for around $25 a fillup. The Civic even has more front seat legroom, and since I am over 6 ft tall, this is big. Its only an inch, but it does make a difference. Seats are as comfortable as the truck, visibility is great also.
