It's the fastest front wheel drive car in the world
I dislike how some of the parts don't seem to fit properly like the plastic in the rear wheel wells. I wish it had automatic folding mirrors and the sensors that other Civics have. I wish the paint didn't chip so easily. I love how fast and fun to drive it is. Overall, it's the best car I've ever owned.

Great gas mileage and great interior.
I love my car. It has really good gas mileage and it runs really well. It has a wonderful interior. I have had it for two years and there have not been any problems. Good thing a had a warranted on it because I had to replace a part on it this year.

Honda's are gas efficient, reliable, comfortable, and cute.
It is great. I get good gas mileage. It is very reliable. I love the features. It is got a great turn radius. It is also very comfortable on the inside. The cup holders are a good size. The Bluetooth is great because then I do not have to buy an extra device for the Bluetooth.

That it is a sports car. Require quite a lot of gas.
Fast, comfortable, inside and outside interior is really amazing. Also, it has some sport card features that enhances its performance even more.

I think it is a very interesting car for your satisfaction.
The car I have been using up until now has had no serious problems. Its ability gives me a sense of self-satisfaction, the reliability of the cars I now have is pretty good on the road because of the precision of the legs. For this car's convenience level, I think it is enough for comfort, as well as equipped with interesting features that will pamper you in your car.

Why I recommend this vehicle.
I have had an overall very positive experience with this vehicle. It is reliable and does well in the snow. The gas mileage is also great. The seats are very comfortable. I also like the touch screen and the Bluetooth audio works great. The trunk is also a good size.
accountCircle Ryan B on May 24, 2021
The car often tries to break when it thinks you're in danger.
No problems yet. Reliability has been 100%, it is comfortable but not the most comfortable vehicle I've driven. Starts slow, then pick it up in 3rd gear. The auto drive help feature needs to be disabled it feels too dangerous. And the navigation is a bit more complicated to operate than most vehicles, yet manageable.
