  mixed bag - 2016 Honda Civic
  By ltcajh - June 28 - 12:32 pm

  I ordered the Honda with Sensing- all the safety features. Ive never owned a Honda car. I like the safety package, but cruise makes you stay back too far. Road noise is worse than my truck. Mileage isnt even close to Honda claims. I have turbo, and the claim is 42 mpg; I get 36.5 at 78 mph.

  Welcome to your new "sports" car! - 2016 Honda Civic
  By Nyame Lavan - June 24 - 10:13 am

  I absolutely love my 2016 Honda Civic. Its a real powerful, fast, fuel-efficient ride with a beautiful design. When I pull up to a stoplight or am just cruising around town I feel cool..Im in a new slick ride and whats not to love? Id highly recommend this car to anyone who loves that sporty feel with the luxury comfort.

  3600 miles in one month. - 2016 Honda Civic
  By Sean Evans - June 19 - 2:43 am

  I drive a lot for work. And this car is almost perfect for the job. 1. The car literally can almost drive itself. 2. Seriously...The adaptive cruise control is amazing in stop and go traffic. It even comes to a complete stop. 3. The lane watch technology follows the striped lines on the road. Steering is required. 4. I set a beep to warn to brake for being to close to the car in front of me. 5. And the lane departure helps as well. The cars technology is decent. The apple play is convenient but they added to many other options to connect and its just in the way.

  It is definitely worth the extra money over a Nissan, Toyota, or Hyundai.

  great car and affordable - 2016 Honda Civic
  By David Werho - March 31 - 2:30 am

  I really like the Civic from this year. The car drives great and has a ton of trunk space. The entertainment system mostly works all the time, but theres a few glitches with the OS sometimes and the volume button is annoying, but easy to get used to.

  2016 Honda Civic = PIECE OF CRAP - 2016 Honda Civic
  By Kwashaun Ward - March 15 - 9:43 pm

  I really had to stop myself from giving this vehicle all 1 stars throughout the rating, but I tried to be unbiased as possible. Long story short, after 5500 miles my fiance had to replace the entire transmission. Yes, everything was covered. But the total experience throughout the fixing process completely ruined my trust in Honda as a company. I took the car in for an oil change and to check the transmission (when putting the car in drive, it will take a few seconds then jump into gear). Not a big deal, but the car is brand new, so I took it right into the dealership. Checked in the car 6:30am. 9 am rolls around, still no word. After speaking to the rep, he said the tech was on the phone with Honda engineer because its a brand new model of the civic. Makes sense. After 2 days of me calling to check on the car, (not the dealership calling me to inform me) they finally put in the order for the trans without even calling me first. That was their first mistake. Then they said it will be in on a Friday, didnt show up until the following Wednesday. Luckily we were on vacation and didnt need the car anyway. The rep told me our civic was the first one to have this problem. I get it, things happen. But what did Honda do to regain our trust? One free oil change. We are currently looking for another vehicle now and never buying another Honda. Until this day, Honda still doesnt know whats wrong with the trans. I wouldnt recommend this car to my worse enemy.

  Very good overall car and great value - 2016 Honda Civic
  By Jerry - January 8 - 3:20 am

  Let me start by saying that I was shopping for a Honda 2015 or 2016 Accord. The new apple car play, remote start and safety features made me wanting the 2016 Accord. I had a 2010 BMW 335i thats 3.0L and twin turbo. I’m getting married and want something more economical over the long term, reliable, and something maybe a bit more comfortable. I didnt even consider the 2015 civic as an option as the review were pretty far apart from the accord. If you are interested, you can do a quick search on the 2012, which is gen 9 civic, which the reviews were so poor, Honda had to do an emergency design update for the 2013 model year. Obviously, I haven’t have the car for long, but here are some feedback may be useful to you if you have your mind somewhat set up Accord or the new civic. First, make sure you test drive both the non-turbo (LX, EX) and the turbo engine (EX-T and above). What’s important to me are reliability, safety, and ride comfort. Also, the car needs to have enough merging power, getting on-ramp or out of trouble. The base engine certainly can do that. The turbo engine has quite a bit more power, and doesn’t need to rev as hard to get power, which does seem a bit quieter. Don’t look at just the published numbers, the turbo engine has much broader torque band. So, why I said to make sure take a test drive in both other than the obvious power difference? The cars ride differently. The turbo equipped cars ride better since the rear suspension are fitted with the new fluid-filled bushings all around. The LX and EX only have those on the front. The ride quality are pretty far apart. I found that the turbo equipped civic rides better than the 2016 Accord EX that I drove. In the 2016 Accord, only the Touring trim is fitted with the fluid-filled bushing all around. Accord maybe still can absorb bigger bumps or potholes better, but as far as road isolation, the turbo equipped civics are better than Accord EX. Obviously, Accord is much roomier, especially the back seats and very easy to get in and out. I prefer Civic’s lower driving position better. Accord has great visibility, lots of glass all around. After some consideration, I had my mind set on the Accord, due to leg room, head room and seat comfort. I was comparing the Civic EX-T vs the 2016 Accord EX in the showroom. I had driven an LX and a Touring back to back. With 5 minutes of test drive in each, it was difficult to absorb everything in. I remember liking the Touring quite a bit more. So, right before I made the purchase, I took one final ride between the two. I was in a Civic Touring, and I found out the contour of the leather seats fitted me much better. I’m a big guy 6 ft and 265lb. The contour of the back support just wasn’t comfortable for me of the fabric seats. I’ve also found that the power seats had more adjustments in both height and front to back. When you adjust the height of the manual seat higher, the seat also moves forward. To get more leg room, I had to seat lower. Also, not sure of the reason, the manual drive seat also gave me less head room. At the end, I fit quite comfortably in the EX-L, which comes with power and leather driver seat. I also opted for Honda Sensing. Just imaging my loves ones maybe driving this car one day, $1000 more safety suddenly becomes cheap to me. The warning systems works great without being annoying. Collision Mitigation works great (someone cut in front of me and slammed on the brake). Lane keeping assist is awesome, and as soon as you give a slight input to the steering, it over rides the system. The sensing package is part of the reason keeping me from shopping other cars. After taking 300 mile drive, the whole package definitely worth the extra. The engine is still being broken in, but I’m got 39mpg on the trip and it’s still going up on highway. Headlight brightness are decent, not as good as adaptive HID, but not bad. Apple Carplay works when using phone as navigations. Trunk is very large comparing with this class of cars. Center console flexibility is brilliant. Love the remote start, and smart key feature. Unless I want to use remote start, I never have to take the key out of my pocket. Touch inside of the drive side handle, the door unlocks. Push button start and stop. When I leave the car, just touch the black button on the door handle and the car locks. The LCD gauge is awesome too. I believe LX doesn’t get that though. Something that I still have to get used to is the car will coast! Not quite a manual disengage from clutch, but close. I have to learn to let off the throttle very early, so I can get better gas mileage and not as hard on the brake. Few things that I don’t like: shining surface on the back of the remote and near gear shifter seem scratch easily. Love the LCD display, but still would prefer volume nob, and bottoms for climate controls. Don’t like the limitation of selecting where air are coming out. Don’t have t

  Great Car if you dont turn on the Stereo - 2016 Honda Civic
  By Michael - Long Beach CA - January 1 - 12:08 am

  If you are going to buy this car and plan on listening to music look somewhere else. Honda plays stupid and says there is not any problem and the dealerships are just guessing on what it takes to fix the problem. The subwoofer rattles and it is horrible even which the bass turned all the way down. I read in several forums including consumer reports that Honda will say they have never heard of this issue and when I called that is exactly what happened. Since then they have said they are working on the problem but they do not know when it will be fixed. The rest of the car well I love it and once they fix the stereo it will be a great car. The lane assist is a little weird and is nothing like what Tesla has but the over all fit and finish is first class. I hope helps someone
