  • Honda Hits a Home Run! - 2015 Honda Civic
    By -

    My 2001 Honda Civic LX with 268k miles finally had to go due to mounting repair costs and I ended up replacing it with this beauty. This car is solidly built for a "basic" car. The interior has a clean look and the outside looks quite sharp. I opted for a 5spd Manual since my prior car was one and admit it is quite peppy with a smooth clutch. I walked off the lot with the car brand new for $15,200 (not including tax, fees, etc). The car handles very well, with very little road noise on the freeways and is quite responsive (avg 35 MPG, 60% Freeway). My only gripe was the stock radio was not very good with a lot of static, I am not sure if its the area I live but my prior car didnt have the issue. I wanted an LX since I could swap out the center console that was better then what Honda (Honda Link) made, I ended up replacing the OEM ratio with a Pioneer 4100NEX (Android Auto/Apple Car Play, HD Radio, etc) which ran $500 out the door. For the price and what you get with the whole package you cant go wrong. I had a choice with the 2016 but the 2015 model was by far a better deal and with the new radio, brings in many features the 2016 model incorporates for a premium. Out the door for a car brand new <16k you cant go wrong, I think a comparable car with the upgrades would go for >23k. Overall a great buy and reliable so far.

    It my first car .. I treated it like a new born baby & I always keep in the garage .. Its well maintain " looks brand new " mint condition... Only reason I will consider selling is just " to upgrade my self into a newer Honda"... I love my car if I can afford to keep two cars.. I would not sell it!

    I recently purchased a 2015 Civic at end of model year. It looks good, has that solid Honda feel, plenty of pep, and roomier that I expected. It has as much interior room as the 2005 Accord Coupe I used to have. Love the back up camera. Gas mileage has leveled out at 30 mpg for the past 6 months; mostly all in-town driving. Price was good. Paid $17,300 before tax and license. Only negative is there is a bit more road noise than Id like on worn highways; hardly any on newly paved. I understand the 2016 is improved in that regard.

  • Oh, for 15 days... - 2015 Honda Civic
    By -

    Big plus, despite EPA rating, I averaged 39 mpg for the 15 days I had the car (which I apparently cannot say below in Car Details. Has a lot more technology than I needed or was accustomed to and obviously in 15 days, I was still getting use to the car. Totally awesome to never have to remove keys from pocket, bag, etc. That was great-no inadvertently dropping keys in hard to reach places (I had a 2006 Honda prior to getting this 2015). I cant honestly comment much more. At the 15 day ownership mark, at 12:30 PM I was nailed in an awkward rear/side position by a drunk driver. While the entire left side must be replaced :( and I dont know why the left-side air-bag did not deploy. Waiting to know if there is further damage, not visible without a lift. Otherwise, given that I was slowing to turn (guessing down to about 30 mph) and the other car was by witnesses accounts speeding at minimally 70 mph, I sustained minor injuries most likely due to Hondas design of the passenger cabin.

    This is a great car for the price. Its sporty and fun to drive. If you have children or are going to be driving other people around you probably want to consider the 4 - door.

  • Nice drive for the price but need improvements - 2015 Honda Civic

    Biggest drawback is the controls on the navigation system and audio system needs improvement. Who ever did the usability missed the basics on it.

  • Honda Happiness - 2015 Honda Civic

    Im very satisfied with the purchase of my 2015 Honda Civic. It is a stylish looking small car which has excellent fuel economy and handles very well. Ive only had the vehicle about a month, but I know that Honda has a reputation for dependability and reliable service. As a result, I have peace of mind knowing that if my Civic ever does need repair or maintenance, I have qualified representatives available to assist me. I look forward to many years of pleasurable driving.

  • Overrated - 2015 Honda Civic
    By -

    Let me start by saying; of all the cars I test drove, the 2015 Civic LX had the most comfortable interior in the affordable small car class, so thats why I leased it. Heres the things I do not like about the car: The transmission or the CVT as it is called. If you enjoy the driving experience, youll hate this transmission like I do. Hit the gas, nothing happens, and then the rpms go up and you start to move. Its called the motorboat effect. This transmission is continually shifting and its very annoying. Who wants a car that is shifting from 70mph to 72? I was having a hard time driving it. I thought something was wrong with the transmission so I took it back to Honda dealer. Mechanic just laughed and said, "thats the way they made it". The other mechanic said, "next time, get the 6-speed". All the frustration is magnified, when running the A/C. I read online that this transmission will get one more mile to the gallon. 1 more mpg? Ridiculous. Around 2,000 miles, the engine developed a loud ticking noise, so back to the Honda Dealer. Was told it is noisy valves and "thats the way Honda makes it". Inside door panel pops in and out when raising and lowering door windows. Has to be a design or manufacturing flaw. Back up camera pretty useless. Cant see much when the sun is out and does not make a noise or visual warning before you back into something. No matter how high you lift the seat, you cant see the front of the car. Cant even see the hood for that matter so be prepared to hit some curbs, especially when parking. Suspension pretty weak and soft brake pedal takes too long to stop the car. Taking car in to get the dim lights adjusted. Would like to see more than 100 feet when driving at night. Interior is cool and car looks nice, but the lack of response on the road makes this car a not so fun driver and will be trading it in soon.

    Do your research, but most car talking heads do agree: this is one fine vehicle that is reasonably priced.
