Driving the new 2012 Honda Civic LX 4dr sedan - 2012 Honda Civic
By danny3826 - April 16 - 5:54 amI just bought a new 2012 Civic LX from Norm Reeves Honda in Cerritos, California. [non-permissible content removed] Now about my new car. It is so good looking, and it is so wonderful to drive. I researched many vehicles through Consumer Reports and Edmunds and also Kelly Blue Book, and I wasnt quite sure. However, I am in love with how it drives. It is so right for me. I wanted fun, and I got fun. I wanted economy, and I got economy. I wanted a great looking vehicle, and I got that too.

Honda is still the best!!! - 2012 Honda Civic
By garminmanila - April 8 - 3:18 pmSo far so good. Im glad I bought this Civic EX-L at an excellent deal over $1k below Edmunds. It is used as an additional car for the wifes shopping, school, church and around town errands. Our Montero 20th Anniv is good for outdoors and long drives but at 14/18mpg :-( Love our Honda.. Its been getting at least 35-38mpg. Too bad the reviews did not get them any fair shot.

2012 Civic EX-L Nice - 2012 Honda Civic
By deer_country - April 6 - 8:31 pmThe beautiful Civic Honda is an excellent all around car. The seats are a little uncomfortable, but other than that it is excellent quality. The edge of the seats seem firm and cause discomfort on a long journey. But the handling is excellent.

vibration issue solved - 2012 Honda Civic
By firsthonda2012 - April 5 - 1:02 pmI almost traded in my brand new 2012 honda civic sedan lx with manual trans! I was getting a disturbing vibration when I accelerated to about 50 mph. The whole car vibrated like I was driving over a grooved highway, and then I thought that perhaps I blew a tire or something. It was intermittent. The Service Tech discovered that when you have only the rear windows down halfway the vibration happens and sounds like a helicopter! An aerodynamic thing. I wanted to let people know this just in case they are experiencing the same issue! Now that I know it is nothing serious I am back to LOVING MY NEW CIVIC!!! Getting 30 mpg with mixed around town and highway driving! Great car!!!

another great Civic - 2012 Honda Civic
By ppowell6 - March 27 - 7:33 pmfirst off, we have been driving Honda/Acura products since 1984. The wife has had 06 and an 09 Accord EX-L and was ready for something new. Her car is usually driven on our trips, long and short, and the Accords were great but with the 2 of us in it most of the time, the Civic seemed like the logical choice when looking for a new car. It is perfect for what we drive it for and the gas savings is incredible so far, compared to the Accords.

love it... - 2012 Honda Civic
By conniek1981 - March 24 - 8:50 amIve had my 2012 si sedan for just over 3 weeks and so far I love everything about it.. I feel safe knowing my daughter is in a good quality safe car. And when shes not in the car I get the capability to drive it how it was built to be driven.. I just passed the 1000 mile mark and now thats its broken in so to say I can actually see what its made of.. very happy I did my research and went to the dealership knowing exactly what I wanted and got just that. Im a very happy camper. And I dont see the thrill going away any time soon.

Great MPG and great comfort... just a little pricey upfront - 2012 Honda Civic
By pokechimp88 - March 12 - 6:48 pmHaving also owned a 2010 Insight hybrid that is getting about 43 MPG combined and having good reliability with it, we decided to go on and purchase a 2012 HCH III w/lthr. Its a much more comfortable car with more features than the Insight. Because the car isnt broken in yet (200 on the odometer as of its writing) and frequent cold starts in Ohio, the life time MPG is only about 45 MPG, which is slightly above the EPA estimates but that has required a "feather" pedal with little HVAC. The car does have an EV only mode, which is a first for the Honda IMA system and it rocks! I can get 70 MPG on a run with it! Hopefully once the weather warms, I can break 55+ MPG and get 700 miles on a tank!

Not like they used to be - 2012 Honda Civic
By edward1171 - March 5 - 10:57 amThis has been the gold standard in econ cars for years. Im a bit disappointed at the gas mileage. Even with the "econ" button, ts no better than my 12 year old Sentra. The button takes torque away to such an extent that you need to be on flat land in order for the driving to be consistent. Climate control is pretty good but its nearly impossible to keep the windows clear of fog. Premium audio is almost useless. The auto traction and brakes are decent, if you are hoping to have the car drive for you. However, if you like to control everything its not so favorable.

Fun little car - 2012 Honda Civic
By grahamola - March 3 - 1:52 pmI bought my Civic back in Sept. I like howit rides, handles, and is quiet too. I would agree that there is a lot of hard plastic surfaces and blank switchplates, but they are built right.Seats are comfortable and have lots of room inside too.

Love My Civic EX - 2012 Honda Civic
By civiclover1 - March 3 - 1:47 pmI purchased my 2012 Civic EX last May, and I love it! It is a zippy ride, and I get compliments on the appearance of the car all the time. I had a "08 Civic and loved it too, but the new technology in the new Civics is great. Drive one....you will like it and the reliability and resale are awesome. You cant go wrong with a Civic!
