Road Test: 2013 Honda Civic

[@heyitscj7726]

I recently bought a used 2013 civic. It’s at 82k miles and it’s still driving as if it’s new. Couldn’t be happier

[@darylp9306]

How much u get it for?

You should have gotten the Si model...

[@KingCarl77]

I love this new styling... seeing it on the road really accentuates how upscale the taillamps are. Yes, they aren't LED, but they look better than almost anything in the compact and even midsize segments, to my eye at least. And that new interior is far superior to before!

i used to drive a 2000 Honda Civic SE. and it was a charm, but maintenance was getting expensive. so i decided to go to a honda dealership to try out the 2013 Honda Civic EX, i drove it in a controlled condition because i was with someone from the dealership. i fell liked how it drove down the highway, then i decided to buy one. i added a spoiler and a remote starter, i had to wait for a week to get it. but then a day after signing the papers. started to get this feeling of regret because i was not sure if that was the right decision. but then when the day came to get it, and drove it home for the 1st time. i started pushing it to its limits. and the feeling of regret suddenly vanished and i feel in love with my car. now i feel like i am smiggul and my car is the ring of power. so i called my car "Precious"

I got our first Honda car last dec. 8. I'm so glad I chose the '13 Civic over the Sentra SR. I'm happy getting almost 3x mpg of my titan and armada. 35 mpg $40 for 5 days over $60 a day. Now I'm not stress goin to work seeing my $$$ in the gas station. I have 1600 miles already for 20 days. All Of the civic generation only the 2013 that I really love and like with the exterior and interior stylin and features. 140 hp. Best eco car for me.

[@manfromnantucket9544]

Got a 2014 LX sedan to replace my dead Mitsubishi. It's dull to look at and drive but the fuel economy is great and is 10x more practical than my old Eclipse ever was. They bumped the power slightly for 2014-2015, but it's still slow. Had to replace part of the intake piping before the throttle body as they're known to tear and cause hesitation during hard acceleration. Overall a great car if not an uninspired one

[@wtrdogg20]

Great car, I got a 2015 and it is everything I expected from a Civic.... My last Civic was a 1984 LX... Now I have a 2015 Civic EX... Cant Complaint! The best part, it is a really safe car, really comfortable, very responsive with a sporty feeling, and there is a world of after market accesories for style and performance...

I bought the 2013 Civic and love it! It is fun to drive and gets 40MPG. I got a great deal at just $17k (MSRP $19,755) which was less than the Hyundai Elantra and Toyota Corolla. Love the Bluetooth, Rear Camera and the Pandora interface.... which aren't available in most of the competitors.

[@KendallJohnsonCoaching]

Civic VS Focus? No comparison. Anyone who would choose a Focus over a Civic will get what they pay for. If you choose a Civic, you will also get 2what you pay for. The difference is the user experience over the term of ownership. Civic wins when it comes to reliability and resale value.

For those with the new 2013 Civic Coupe, is the area behind your brake/gas pedals showing exposed insulation?

Yes exposed insulation. Sad.

[@davidaubin3902]

Hopefully the 10th Gen Civic doesnt have a quick refresh like the last one. hear the base engine is 2 Liters instead of 1.8, and horsepower is up 10 i believe to 150, but we wont see a natural gas or hybrid versions anymore

[@shyaznboy]

+David Aubin I heard they'll have some 1.5 liter, turbo-charged trim levels as well. And finally, a 5 door hatchback option... They will bring a Si and/or Type R finally too.......

[@Murster62]

The 500 mile break-in time works in the drivetrain and also calculates my driving habits. I hope it does. At the 150 mile mark the electronic accelerator pedal is still spongy at the top lacking the accurate response in my previous 2010 civic. The interior is light-years ahead providing features that will compete with the Elantra like outside temp, rear backup color camera, added side-air bags and 3 custom wallpapers you can change anytime through your USB memory stick. A great value.

I love all Civics, but however the first two generations of the Civic were too small for me, the third generation Civic grew a bit from the first two Civics, I loved each Civic models and even the completely redesigned 10th Gen Civic looked pretty good and it will always be good. Also, the Civic, as well as the Accord, both are highly customizable. (But if you live in places like California, you shouldn't have a very loud muffler, otherwise you'll get a ticket for it), other than that, you're all good.

[@MastrCake]

My 98 Civic saved my life in an accident, and I will always love Honda for that. After my wreck, I drove a '13 Civic, but it didn't "wow" me in any way. It's easy to drive and very maneuverable, but it handled worse than my 98, and felt disconnected from the road. Great for comfort, but not for corners. Honda is clearly trying to make the Civic a car for the masses, but they completely forgot about enthusiasts along the way. It's a great car, but I wouldn't pay 19k+ for something I didn't love.

[@icantw8]

Wanted a '13 but ended up with a '14 with cvt. xD I noticed they also changed the seats. It looks more upscale. :)

[@Letsallparty2]

+icantw8 automatic is better than CVT. CVT hansnt proved itself just yet. its too new a technology and, most people like the feeling of the car gearing.

[@techsupportranjit7637]

Letsallparty2 the CVT is automatic transmission. It's just called CVT because of the S and L gears.

Good improvement, especially the interior..much better than the Toyota corolla,what I don't like is the side mirror design for 2006 to 2016

[@GalenlevyPhoto]

Better acceleration times than my 2000 Civic EX. Still the 2013 Civic doesn't look appealing to me.

[@Windgrace]

2013 Civic back to being class leading. And why is it that Korean and American cars have troubles meeting, let alone beating, their EPA estimates? They might have flashier designs, more tech, or better handling but the Japanese have the real world mileage and long-term reliability which, to me, is worth it.

[@WORLD_TRUE]

I got to drive 2012 Civic and I don't think it was as bad as the media claims. The front fascia looks pretty good and the rear is more boring than ugly. The interior isn't terrible either, just the light color makes it look rather cheap. It drove and handled similar to the 2013. It wasn't that noisy either. It was just a 15 min test drive but I was still impressed enough to make an offer. But the greedy dealer wouldn't budge more than $3k so got the 2013 instead.

[@59summerset]

Civic vs Focus. You're looking at a ~2MPG difference MAYBE and for that you lose ~2.5 sec to 60. You also have a louder cabin and an engine that is more more reliable than the Focus. I will admit you can fault the Focus regarding it's tech as it can be complicated but it gives a real feeling of value.

Of course, because the Civic and Corolla you get there are not Japanese, are made locally. Brazilian market is not good reference for any comparison, because that market is another story. Elantra is very well sell around the world, outselling the Corolla y many markets. The Elantra has won several awards, especially the Initial value and quality and top residual value award from JD Power. I am a Honda CR-V owner and I also have a Hyundai Accent 2007, and I can say Hyundai is a good car now.

Honda will sell lots of Civic because of resale/reliability/ reputation. I rather buy the Elantra because better warranty, nicer looking inside and out, you more for your money, and Hyundai has been reliable too. The Civic has an outdated 5 speed automatic transmission, ugly two-tier dash, wheels are ugly, still not push button start, mostly care over from 2011 design, etc. I am also annoyed Honda thinks they will sell cars because it is a Honda. While the competition closed the gap.

That generation Civic was light and had double-wishbones at all four corners... Even most modern luxury-sports cars don't have such a setup. That was Honda at their peak though. They know the market is saturated and that their customers are loyal enough so now they only produce soulless, poorly designed and manufactured reheated shit and sell it cheap.

[@KendallJohnsonCoaching]

Lease a Focus... perhaps. Or maybe after reading consumer reviews one might re-consider: edmunds(dot)com/ford/focus/2012/consumer-reviews.html I would not lease or buy any car that has proven to be a Lemon time and time again. But that's just me. Some people might see things different than I do which is why people still buy the Focus regardless of it's track record.
