Positive Owner Reviews

COURTNEY C

Fantastic investment as first adult car

Great sedan! It drives well, and is a reliable commuter car. It is smaller and can easily navigate through small spaces and parking spots. Love the sunroof. The trunk is spacious! The air conditioner is loud if you turn it on high, but that is really my only complaint.

Sharron m

My car gets great gas mileage. It is very dependable.

I love everything about it except the display. It can be hard to see in the daylight hours.

Rebecca O

I love the reliability, the color, the ease of driving. My only complaints involve that the door frames interfere with seeing on occasion.

Extremely reliable and seldom breaks down! It's very comfortable.

Junior H

Great engine, drives very smoothly

It's very great, it's smooth, and it runs great

Carolyn D

Would highly recommend! Wonderful reliable car!

Very reliable vehicle. Great on gas mileage. Interior and exterior are very durable. Sleek and compact so easy to park and drive. Great for around town and highway driving. Lasts a long time before needing an oil change. Very smooth even with close to 150,000 miles.

Mary L

Great ride for a 10 year old car!

The only problem with the car is the tires do not seem to adhere to rims. It has a comfortable ride, is good on gas, reliable, heater works quickly as does air conditioning. The radio speakers are good, and the driver's seat is comfortable. The curve of the seat hits my lumbar just right.

Diane M

That it has efficient fuel economy.

I love that it's small enough to zip around, but not so small that I feel unsafe. I love the way it handles and the way it runs so efficiently. I think it is a well-made car.

Am N

Honda dream comes true.

It is a really good vehicle with minimal issues until now. It gives really good mileage and ac works well. Best for long travel too. It is a four seater car with comfortable seating. It is really comfortable... Has good installed audio system and good trunk space for more items to be stored.

Negative Owner Reviews

Yoo L

Honda civic ex-l 2010 lemon.

Lots of problems. Changed front and back breaks several times. Transmission went out. Battery has been replaced many times. Only 10 years old but it rides rough like a car much older. If I had the money right now. I would get a new car but unfortunately I am currently financially unable to.

Ben C

It is an average car without appealing features that has its own problems.

The car is slow. When you step on the gas more, it takes some time for the car to go faster. Another problem it has is Bluetooth. There are no options for Bluetooth on the music player. In terms of the looks, the car manufacturer can do better. It has a high rear but a low front. However, the car does have a good gas mileage. The seats are not incredibly comfortable but good enough.

Joy J

A decent small car, a good first car.

The car sounds much older than it is, it creaks like an old boat but there are no problems with it. The gas tank is tiny, it does not hold much which means more gas stops. Overall though, it is a very reliable car and has minimal issues. It is small, and you can feel the size when in the car, some smaller cars give you the illusion that it is larger internally but not this one, although it can fit in almost any parking space.

Kaylee P

Good on miles. Good for a long-lasting car. Good car to have.

It does not have a lot of space. It is comfortable but very closed in. The radio does not work properly. And the seatbelts get stuck so easily. The car itself just can break easily. There’s always something wrong with it that I have to fix. But it is very good on miles and can last a long time.

Mia J

Older and used with a lot of miles

Too small for my needs and doesn't fit my growing family. Too small of a trunk. I do like how many miles I've been able to drive and how smooth it runs.

Scot Y

New car and better pricing and life.

It has been a good car but once one thing goes wrong it happens quick and everything else starts to go wrong. I would suggest Honda just maybe not the civic. I really like the accord but overpriced. I think after owning these Hondas we will look towards acura.

Jason A

The vehicle is grey, and it has scratches and bumps all over. The right side of the front bumper has rust on it. The seats are. A cream color.

It is a used car, so it tends to break down. The radiator always makes a loud, humming noise even after taking it to the mechanic on multiple occasions. The driver's seat is too small for my legs as well.

Marjorie S

Gas mileage is truly spectacular.

There are only two doors, but there is room for four. It is too small and many vehicles do not see it or disregard it. It has had a lot of brake issues.

What Problems Does the 2010 Honda Civic Have?

There are an average number of complaints found on the Honda Civic compared to other compact cars from 2010, but most are not mechanical. The newer 2011 model has fewer complaints, but the paint and interior quality are very similar between the two years.

Peeling and oxidizing paint is the most common complaint with the Civic, happening after about 5 years. Paint typically wears out when there’s a curing failure, isn’t cared for, or spends excessive time in the sun. The only solution for failing paint is to repaint the affected areas, costing about $800 per panel.

Cracked sun visors are another extremely common problem, happening around 55,000 miles. Honda has had sun visor issues with the Civic for several years. If the visors crack the only solution is to replace them, costing about $80.

Premature brake wear is also a frequent issue, with pads only lasting about 30,000 miles. The brake components wear out faster on Hondas than some other vehicles, and the only solution is replacing them. A new set of pads costs about $300, and the rotors are an additional $400.

There are 8 recalls, which is more than other compact cars from the same year. All of the recalls are for the airbags, and after a free replacement by the dealer they’re not a concern.

How Much is the 2010 Honda Civic Worth?

Blue book values are average for the class ranging in price from $5,897 to $11,690, similar to the Jetta and Mazda3. When new, the price range was $15,455 to $25,340. Depreciation is average for the class, dropping about 12% in current value per year.

What Are the Models & Specs?

DX is the very basic entry-level model with:

15-Inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Power Windows
Air Conditioning
4-Speaker Stereo System

How Long Will the 2010 Honda Civic Last?

A properly cared for 2009 Honda Civic will last about 250,000 miles, which is longer than competitors including the Sentra and Jetta. Regular annual maintenance costs are average for the class at $371 per year, according to Repair Pal.

As the Civic ages and passes 100,000 miles, there are some repairs owners should be prepared for. They include intake manifold gaskets for $450, tie rods costing about $150, as well as throttle bodies which are $550.

William M

The Honda is in fact reliable. Other than normal routine upkeep, I haven't had a problem with respect to breakdowns.

Eloisa S

Yes. Several things are falling apart, air conditioning repair, motor mounts, something related to my brakes.

Anne L

No problems. It looks knew and I have gotten compliments on it. One person asked me if it was a Volvo. Because it is an exit is extra cute.

Fiona L

Yes, it has not had any problems for me thus far. There was a short period where I had to fix the airbag, but besides that, the car has been quite good to me. It has never died on me.

Kim R

No problems. Ii is very reliable and I have only needed to get the basic stuff done with it, like oil changes and alternator.

Steph M

The Honda is very reliable. Trough regular maintenance there has been no issues. Just the regular wear and tear like all other vehicles.

Kelly L

No problems at all it has cold air and heat sunroof all in all it's a good car it has four doors trunk is huge.

Jasmin M

It does not have problems. It is a really good car. My brother had it before me so yeah it is pretty good.

What Technology & Safety Features Are Included?

Technology is good in the 2010 Honda Civic for the year, but feels dated compared to what is found in newer cars.

Base technology includes a 4-Speaker AM/FM/CD stereo system with a 3.5mm AUX input jack.
Optional upgrades include a 6-speaker premium stereo system, a 7-inch navigation screen, as well as Bluetooth and USB connectivity.
Standard safety features include antilock brakes and air bags. The EX and Si models upgrades include stability control and 4-wheel disc brakes.

What Engine Options are Available?

Performance in the 2010 Honda Civic is average for the class in entry-level models, but the Si model is relatively quick. The larger engine takes the car from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 7.1 seconds.

The base engine has average power for the class and is a 1.8L 4-cylinder which has 140 horsepower.
The engine found in the Si model is a more fun 2.0L 4-cylinder with 197 horsepower.

What Color Options are Available?

How Big is the Civic?

The 2010 Honda Civic is a compact car offered as both a coupe and sedan, similar in size to the Corolla and Focus. There’s plenty of passenger space in the back seats of the sedan, but the coupe is very cramped for adults. Cargo space is good for the class with 12 cubic feet of room in the trunk which can fit 3 to 4 suitcases.

How Does the 2010 Honda Civic Compare to Other Cars?

Ranking 7^th out of 29 compact cars, based on owner reviews, the 2010 Honda Civic is in the top third of the class.

A highly-rated competitor is the more expensive Toyota Corolla. The Corolla offers a more comfortable ride, and easier-to-use technology. Where the Civic moves ahead is with more power, and fewer complaints for the 2010 model year. Overall, the Civic is the better choice for 2010, but the competition is closer in other years.

Another rival is the more affordable Nissan Sentra. The Sentra has less controversial exterior styling, and higher-quality interior materials. On the other hand, the Civic has significantly better long-term reliability ratings, and a more engaging driving experience. Between the two cars, the Civic is the better, longer lasting choice.

Brayan B on June 25, 2021

The Honda are known to be really good in gas prices, oil change, part repairs.

While having my car I haven't really experienced much problems. Like always Honda are know to be reliable and sufficiently gas affordable. In the time being of my Honda the only issue I have had is not getting it in leather. Therefore when not getting in leather the roof started to collapse in which I have to replace the interior roofing.

Raina S on June 24, 2021

Great car, one tiny problem.

Overall, I love my 2010 Honda civic. It gets great gas mileage and it is very reliable. The only problem sometimes is that it is pretty low to the ground so it bottoms out when I pull into some driveways or go over large bumps. Otherwise it is great and I recommend this car!

Sara W on June 17, 2021

The maintenance has been great.

I enjoy that I get great gas mileage. The car is spacious enough for me to transport my stuff. It is compact enough that it fits everywhere. I feel safe while driving it.

Nicolr C on June 17, 2021

Reliable long lasting Honda civic.

I have owned this car for years and I love it. Doesn't have the bells and whistles that the newer cars all have now she is a 2010. But she is fun cute and extremely reliable. I have only had one or two minor issues over the years and Honda will be my go to brand for that reason!

Steve S on June 15, 2021

My 2010 Honda civic breakdown.

I have driven the car over 130,000 miles and have no major problems. I replaced the rotors and brake pads, tires, and have regular maintenance upkeep. The car rides well, as this is a small car that allows me to zip in between big rigs and be a nuisance to others. Although this car does not accelerate well, it does the job and gets me to where I need to go, and the mileage (30+) per gallon is great for these times where I need to conserve money.

Mason B on June 8, 2021

My car has this cool mod where when I rev the engine it's extremely loud.

Prior to the 16th of October 2018, the car ran perfectly fine. Got the regular oil change and engine ran fine. After 8 years of having the oldie, her engine light popped on and I started to have to get a lot of different things done. Overall I'd say this is a good buy, it lasts, its reliable. Just try not to drive it 300k miles and you'll be good.

Reagan M on May 30, 2021

Its exterior is metallic bronze color and the interior is a tan cloth.

I have never had any problems out of my vehicle. It is very comfortable. It has a large trunk that could fit pretty much anything. It does have a CD player, aux input, and am/FM radio. Cigarette lighter to input a car charger. It is a perfect car for a new driver.

Nick M on May 28, 2021

2010 Honda civic is a great car.

Fantastic gas mileage. Very stylish. Small gas tank easy to fill. Reliable and perfect sized. Like the color and the interior. Perfect car for me right now. I have had no issues with the car, routine maintenance is cheap and easy. You can go very far on a small gas tank and I have never had trouble driving or accelerating or just getting around.

Dan M on May 27, 2021

2010 Honda civic attractive dependable car.

Nice and simple easy-to-use dashboard and radio controls for us older people to use without any trouble. Car is very easy to drive, very comfortable, and great on gas. Acceleration is good and just usual maintenance so far without any major problems.

Arthur C on May 25, 2021

How to get a 2010 Honda civic to run forever.

Misfires occasionally, good on gas and reliable. I drive it every day to work all the way in Manassas and I only fill up once or twice a week. But they can run forever if you take care of it. So it is important to change the oil and everything. It does not require a lot of work but do not neglect it.

Sally C on May 24, 2021

It has been through a thought and withstands it all!

It is hard to accurately portray because I hit an elk in my vehicle and am unsure if the problems I am having are due to the repair of the vehicle. Overall, the issues are minor and it is nice to have a car that is still very reliable after 10 years of driving it.

Tandi S on May 23, 2021

Reliable and low cost ownership.

Have not had any serious problem after driving it for 10 years. The only recurring issue I have had was the tire pressure mgmt systems. Had to replace front and rear passenger side as it was causing air the leak out. Overall, the cost of ownership is not very high.

Liz L on May 23, 2021

My car is a great size for my needs and gets good gas mileage.

I have had my car for over ten years now, and it is just now starting to show signs of wear and tear. I haven't had any significant problems before, and I have always felt safe driving my car. The problems that are showing up now are little things like the inside lights acting up and the fuel gauge lights fluctuating sometimes.

Katie H on May 22, 2021

Best car ever to buy for first married couples.

My vehicle is great I love it very roomy and nice. Gas is great. Good for 5 people and runs smoothly.. If in need of long distance vacation Honda is best car. Totally recommend getting Honda soon as possible, it's great for first time couple who needs a car.

Camryn S on May 16, 2021

It is like a go cart, pretty fast and really easy to turn.

It is not very good in snow. Or rain. Or bad weather at all. It is a good little car, like a go cart. Fast and sharp turning. It is easy to control and good for people who like small cars. The Honda civic is a reliable and good on gas. Filling the tank is also cheap.

Kat S on May 14, 2021

It's a Honda. Great for what it is.

My vehicle runs pretty well. Very true to mileage on parts. Great gas mileage and comfortable. Could use my cup holders. The aux port has an issue that after awhile it does not work anymore. Maintenance is pretty cheap on the car as well. Overall a very decent car!

Kaitlin W on May 14, 2021

Honda civic hybrid is reliable and long lasting, but battery adds complications.

I really love my car. It is very reliable and I have managed to run it as far as I need. It does tend to get wobbly on freeways and the door locks and windows sometimes freeze up, but the issue usually goes away after a while for whatever reason. My civic is a hybrid vehicle, and has done very well with its battery. The first battery lasted to exactly the warranty on it, so we were able to get a replacement under the warranty. It has less technology than most of the other cars on the market right now, but I appreciate that I feel more in control of my car than the ones with lane control and the like. The seats are leather in the car and they have held up pretty well. There are some tears in the fabric, but it still looks fairly good quality 10 years later. The leather does make it so your back is very comfortable when driving in hot weather. I currently live in phoenix, so driving around it gets very hot. The air conditioning does not work very well due to it being a hybrid. Whenever the car is stopped, the air conditioning turns off and just runs the fans in the car. The same happens when going uphill or on long stretches. I had to drive from California to Arizona once and it was essentially turned off the entire time through the desert, so the inside of the car was around 90-100 degrees.

Christen T on May 11, 2021

Honda, cheap and reliable.

Ac gives out often, gears seem to catch frequently and the aux port has been replaced twice but otherwise it runs, it is durable and it made a trip from ga to wa state without any problems arising. I will definitely be getting another Honda when I can afford to.

Bynne F on May 10, 2021

Honda civic white 2010 I love you but it is time for an upgrade.

Love it but when it hits bumps the water from the front of the car comes and hits the front window. Very annoying. I wish the backseat was a little roomier. It is a great car though. Very reliable and comfortable in the front seat but, not the back seats.

Ayoub A on May 8, 2021

All black tinted Honda civic.

Run perfectly, had it for over 3 years great car, great on gas. Not many features, but not many problems either. It is very reliable and will keep running as long as you take care of it. Performance is good might be a bit slow compared to other cars however it is safe and reliable.

James S on May 6, 2021

Reliable but not comfortable.

It has became a little bit old right now. Even though it was made in 2010 the improvements in the technology and comfort fields were massive in the past decade, so it lacks a lot of creature comforts that other cars made in the past few years has. I will be changing my Honda too when my loans are over.

louise C on May 4, 2021

It is the first jap car I purchased.

The Honda was purchased new and I have never had any trouble the only maintenance is oil change and tires. The Honda gets great gas mileage. No need to purchase a electric car since I get great mileage. I will probably give the car to my grandson since I am getting older and do not drive much.

Christina L on May 2, 2021

Smooth ride with the best wipers!

I love my little civic! It gets great gas mileage and is super reliable! It drives smoothly. The gas and brake pedals are not overly sensitive or near unresponsive, they're just right! I absolutely love the heads up day with the digital speedometer. Also, the wiper blades are nice and smooth. I like how they open outward instead of going side to side like traditional wipers do!

Lafe B on April 18, 2021

Excellent choice for a first car.

The 2010 Honda civic is very reliable, and gets excellent mileage (generally I only need to spend $20 a week on gas). The engine is whisper quiet and starts up easily. However, the bumper sometimes dislodges and needs to be more secured, but this could easily be an environmental factor.

maja M on April 18, 2021

Our lovely icon reminder!

It has 4 cylinder gas tank. I love this because I can fill up my gas tank with $30 and this is with diesel the most expensive gas. The cheapest gas I fill up my tank with $20. It's very easy to maneuver. Even though it's a 2010 the technology is really amazing. It has a lot of built in features such as buttons where you turn 1 button in and you can open windows, close windows, lock doors, open doors. It has alert features where it automatically alerts you if something is not right for example low gas, oil change, no seat belt, left tire needs more air. It will tell you and alert you and remind you until you get it fixed. Its gray, my mom gave me this car. It's very simple. Everything is button operated. The back door opens up the same way as all the doors do. It's a four door jeep. I recommend this car to anyone. It's a great car.

Carly F on April 12, 2021

Great compact car. Easy to drive. Great for new drivers. Small and easy to park.

Reliable car. Small and easy to drive. Perfect for young drivers. My car is 10 years old and I have yet to have any major problems. My air compressor did just recently die but everything else is working perfectly! Steering is very easy and brakes are light and easy to press!

Em D on April 8, 2021

My comfortable, spacious car.

My car is very spacious and I especially love the dashboard. I have yet to have any major problems other than a squeaking sound it makes at random times when I drive. I can rely on this car to get me to where I need to go. I am comfortable while driving this car and have no plans of changing it anytime soon.

Kate F on April 5, 2021

Very easy to drive and navigate.

It is very affordable and also good quality. It is fun to drive and also low maintenance. I like how it is easy to navigate and all of its features are easy to follow. Easy to drive and also looks nice while driving. Nice small compact car and I would recommend it.

NHAN L on April 3, 2021

Honda civic 2010 the best choice budget car.

My vehicle is good and there not any problem except they don't have the entertainment screen and the chair material is not good. Lack of the cup holder in the back and do not have big room for the trunk. The car is good mileage and gas consumption when commuting around.

Sofia S on April 3, 2021

Small civic that has good mileage and tires.

There is some minor issues with the car, but I love the gas mileage. The major problems is how low the car is, if there is too high of a speed bump and the car is done for. Also, it is hard to even use the car on hills. The tuning to change radio is too far and unsafe for the driver to change the music.

Katie B on April 1, 2021

Honda Civic: good reliable car

A very reliable car, super comfortable. There are issues with the front bumper not staying on and falling off. I have also had issues with the alarm system. It has a lot of features desired out of a modern car with aux cord port and a charging port. It does not have Bluetooth which is unfortunate. It has a relatively good amount of storage for such a small car. I really enjoy that the car is not super long. This makes parallel parking a lot easier which is the only possible way to park where I live.

Vonny I on March 30, 2021

Looks and reliability of the vehicle.

Basic car, great mpg but no pride. I believe that the new civics did a great job with creating a cool looking car and keeping their economic standards also. Any older model than 2016 is still a great car but does not attract the younger generation buyers like the new ones.

Cherie H on March 29, 2021

The Honda civic is a pretty okay and reliable car.

The air conditioning has had a lot of maintenance issues within the past few year. The civic uses more gas than the other cars in my household. For an almost 10 year car however, it had not broken down (except for the ac). For the most part, the civic has been a pretty decent car with no major problems.

Shel E on March 29, 2021

I like that's It is in good condition for an old car. It doesn't break down on the road. I like that It has room for at least 4 -5 people.

The most important thing to know about my car is that it is a second hand car that is in good condition.

Madi Y on March 27, 2021

Honda civic is a great car.

It is very reliable. It shows the exact speed you are going. The seats are very comfy and the air conditioning works great. It projects the speed you are going which is very handy because you are not having to look down at the speedometer. I also love that there are minimal problems that I have had to deal with.

Kailyn D on March 27, 2021

Honda civic, a decent car.

I have no big problems with this car. I feel really comfortable in this car, the steering is very nice and easy to maneuver. The features are very easy to use. But to get the car to a higher speed, you have to go all the way down on the pedal before it will go over 45mph.

Angie S on March 25, 2021

It gets me from point A to point B.

Routine maintenance and upkeep are easy and available everywhere. It gets good gas mileage. It was affordable.

Shay M on March 22, 2021

That it is reliable and good on gas.

What i like about my Honda civic is that it's easy on gas and it drives smoothly but what i dislike about is that the backseat is way to small it is not enough room at all.

Amaily K on March 22, 2021

The most okay car you could ever buy.

This car is great for short trips because it is fuel efficient, but very uncomfortable on long drives. Also, this car does not have a lot of room. It is very small. It has no pick up and is overall not fun to drive. It is very reliable and has not caused me any problems in the 6 years I have had the car.

Teresa C on March 20, 2021

It is gets great gas mileage. It is sleek and runs quiet.

It's great on gas. It's compact but the trunk is big. It is good looking.

Michael N on March 20, 2021

My car, driving me through life.

The vehicle has done a lot for me throughout the 3 years I have owned it, I have put it through so much and it is still holding strong. A lot of electrical issues have come up with it and there seems to be something always wrong with it but as a whole it gets me where I need to go.

Anna D on March 19, 2021

Great and reliable car with some paint issues.

It is really a good car. It is very reliable. The only problem that I have had with it is the point on the outside chilling and coming off. Other than that it has been a really good car for me. The comfort is good in the front seats but in the back it could use more room, especially the middle seat, there is not much room for that person to sit there.

The Honda civic is a great vehicle.

This car has very heavy doors, which makes it feel safe. It performs well and is reliable when taking to the shop to get inspected. I would highly recommend this vehicle to a new or young driver. I have not encountered any serious issues with this model or make.

Review about Honda civic!

It is a reliable vehicle. Gas efficient. What I like most about the vehicle is the ability to be able to find parking. Being that it's a small car you can fit anywhere. The only downside is just the trunk space it is small being that the vehicle is a coupe.

2010 Honda Civic has been good to me, but it is time for a change.

Generally Honda Civic is a reliable car and it has gotten me from point to point b. But, it has shown wear and tear throughout the years exteriorly. Really bad paint job, not sure what's wrong with it but it's like peeling off. Rattles sometimes when I am on bumpy roads. Overall I would recommend this car for around town driving and not really interstate. Feels inferior on interstate and can sometimes feel myself swaying. Looking forward to getting a new car.

Honda civic 2010 great buy.

It is definitely a good car especially for beginners because it is extremely smooth and easy to drive. Gas mileage is really good but it does have a somewhat small gas tank. I definitely think if taken care of, this model of civic would last forever and you'd definitely get your money's worth!

Great car dependable reliable and economic. I love this car.

Great car dependable reliable and economic. I have had this car for 7 years and have no major issues with it. I have dinged it up but tried to keep up with the maintenance and oil changes. A lot of people say this is the best version of the Honda civic.

There's a security alarm that goes off alit

I like it but it's old. Needs updated. But I do like the inside set up

Reliability and very good brand.

My vehicle is very reliable I really haven't had very many problems with it over the years and I drive very often and have over 100,000 miles on it now it drives very well and I recommend the brand! I like the styling and comfort while I am driving and it's easy and inexpensive to maintain.

That my car is great on gas and fuel economy.

I like that my car is great on gas and cost effective at the pump. I like that I can lock my trunk and it can not be open without the key even from inside. I like that my gas tank locks and can only be opened from inside the car.
