In this video, I take a 2012 Honda Civic EX 4 Door for a test drive. The car is currently on a winter setup. Winter tires are Michelin X-ICE (205/65/R15). My family has owned this car for the past 11 years and it's been absolutely amazing regarding its reliability, affordability, and overall package. I, myself, have put on ~100,000/250,500kms on the car and each kilometre has been a blast. This car has effortlessly taken my family and me on countless international trips (Canada - Mid-West USA), snowboarding trips, camping trips, and over 10,000 grocery trips. It is one amazing car and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
If you're on the fence about purchasing this as a used car, I would definitely vouch for it. It makes for the perfect first car or perfect college car for your kids due to its inexpensive maintenance and reliability. It also takes regular gas and is very fuel efficient (29/41/33mpg estimate EPA city/highway/combined fuel economy).
Mileage: 250,500km
Price (USED): $8,500 (as of Dec 2023)
Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic
Drivetrain: FWD

Bought this car last summer as my first vehicle. Although ths Civic is far from the best, its a really good car I enjoy. Pick up times are a bit slow, not the fastest, but its so reliable and for student or someone trying to get to point A to B is really good! Picked up one from marketplace for $5,500, 138k miles. So far spent 80 bucks on a oil change in a year. Best car ever

I've seen a video on here of a guy reviewing the exact same car that this reviewer is showing.

Hey Grant! I wonder if it was one of my other videos? I have 3 videos on my Honda civic.

Just know that the cvt transmission pressure sensors fail around 80k for all these cars. Also starters fail which in many cases lets you think something wrong with pushbutton start. Button is fine just get new starter and good car battery.

That is super true, I've heard the pressure sensor failing as well. Good point!

this model of the civic doesn’t have CVT transmission or a pushbotton start

The beads on the rear view mirror? Those are just something my dad put in the car back in 2012 lol, no significance they have been part of the car since we bought it.
