I own a 2012 civic lx, bought it brand new and at 80,000 miles only I am already facing some quite pricey repairs. Some get lucky with their Civics, some of us not so much 😅

Personal Review: I bought a 2012 Honda Civic ES 1.8L (Manual) I-VTEC naturally aspirated petrol engine (140 BHP & 128 lbs/ft torque) in the UK. I paid £6,000 for the car from a main dealer with a full service history, and it was around 7.5 years old when I bought it (approaching 8 years old in November). The vehicle now has 56,000 miles (It had around 52,000 when I bought it 4 months ago). It returns around 36-40mpg in the city & 50-55mpg on the motorway. My combined use is about 42mpg on average, and I drive it mostly in ECON mode. I spend around £40/£45 to fill up the tank and this lasts on average between 320-360 miles, depending on how I drive and routes etc. Pros: - The seats are comfortable. You could easily do commutes of around 45 minutes - 1 hour and be reasonably comfortable. If you are commuting longer I'd probably opt for the leather seats. - This car is very practical. The seats can fold up to stand items such as plants and suitcases in the bank, you also get a reasonable amount of storage if you fold the seats down. Leg room is also very reasonable. You also have a small storage in the boot under the floor, very useful for breakdown emergency items and insurance documents, spare coat and water etc. - Everything works as it should, no glitches to any of the technology or odd noises coming from the car. - The sound system is very good for this caliber of vehicle. - Honda's reliability record it essentially bulletproof in these cars. - You always feel safe when in this car and visibility is good. It is nice that you have a digital speed display. - You have a timing chain and no a belt, which is always a positive. Cons: - It isn't very fun to drive. Sure, you can take it out of ECON mode and it is slightly more responsive but it never feels fun, and it doesn't handle corners at speed - I'd describe it in one word as 'adequate'. - The engine sounds very rough as higher speeds, rarely do I take it above 70MPH as the engine just feels harsh and you almost feel sorry for it. - ECON mode restricts the power of the car and it is thirsty for higher gears; even then it doesn't give great MPG. - The engine never really feels powerful, considering it is 140BHP... It is not dangerously slow, but it never feels quick, I feel this may be due to the engine not having a turbo... A small compromise to pay for less future headaches, I suppose. Overall verdict: I feel this car is suitable for those whom have perhaps a small family or want something that is safe, reliable and practical that also gets them from point A-B without any dramas and whom aren't overly concerned with aesthetics being a high priority on their list. It never really feels engaging to drive but you do develop some form of attachment to the car, it is very strange. Would I buy this car again? - Hmm, most likely, yes. As stated earlier, the track record of Honda Civics are bulletproof, you always see 2000 reg ones on second hand car buying websites in good solid condition and there is a lot of evidence to suggest these cars get to 200,000 miles without any major issues. Here are some numbers with regards to reliability; The study looked into reliability, breakdowns and repair costs and then ranked car manufactures. The average car was 9-years-old and there were 200,000 in the study. Considering Honda ranked 1st in a reliability survey scoring 87% and average price to repair being £560 (In comparison, Lexus was 2nd with 87% reliability and £1,100 repair bill and Toyota 3rd scoring 80% for reliability and average repair bill of £600). To put this into perspective, 5th on the list was Hyundai, who scored 71% reliability and an average repair cost was £570. kzread.info/dash/bejne/pYl9rZmEj9Selbw.html I would also avoid buying a newer model of the civic, the ones with 1.0L turbo engines giving 120BHP etc, whilst they may be more economical and fun it is likely that they will cause headaches in the future and it appears that Honda are going down the performance route rather than reliability, which is a shame. Also, I would avoid the prior generation to this 2012 model, if you can't budget for the 2012 then get the 2010/2011 model (the prior ones '06 - '09 had some issues which were corrected from 2010), but be aware they aren't as comfortable to drive and you feel most bumps in the road. Therefore, I would consider the 2012 - 2016 either 1.8L petrol or the 1.6L diesel. I am unsure of the 2.2L diesel on fuel consumption and I feel that the 1.4L petrol just would't have enough power. I am unsure of what these cars are like in automatic transmission, however, I have also not heard a great deal about the transmission being an issue... Here in the UK an automatic is hard to come by. I hope this review has been helpful.

It's really impressive how Honda civic is durable and reliable, this engine is about the best machines all time... I've seen Hondas with more 300k miles running as it had 50k...just impressive..after 5 years depends on how you kept the car you can get 70% of it's original value... outstanding.

I absolutely love my 2013 Civic, manual is the way to go, it’s fun to drive, peppy, reliable and to be honest I love the way it looks.

The civics are seriously incredible cars, especially if equipped with the venerable 1.8 port injection motor. I have a 2015 9th gen hatch, built in the uk. With corona about, it’s the ultimate apocalypse motor, as it will survive anything and save your pocket.

I'm currently looking into 2013-2014 Civics. Right now, I'm borrowing my grandfather's 1999 Civic, it has over 410K miles, and it is still running pretty well. He took really good care of it, since it was brand new.

My 2013 LX is at 325,000 miles. The steering wheel is worn like yours and some of the buttons are worn out. I bought some stickers for the buttons, but they look awful (probably my fault). The transmission slips a little going into 2nd, but not too bad. I replaced the wheel covers and the molding under the windows, which made a big difference. It still runs great. I average about 38 mpg. No complaints.

@lbrizzleful

I was going to but I had already put a lot of miles on it. The mechanic told me you need to start doing it early. He said the car gets used to the older fluid and changing it could do more harm then good. The transmission does hesitate a little going into 2nd gear, but I just let off the gas a bit and it’s fine. Up to 363k now! I am intrigued by the 23 Accord though.

You can get stitched leather kit for the steering wheel, I did it to an Acura I had and looked pretty good.

My 2013 Civic EX has only 51,000 miles. I've replaced the strut bearings and it has a bad shock that clunks over hard bumps. The car got 53 mpg (hand calculated) driving from Lake Louise, Alberta to Rocky Mountain House!

I have a 2012 with 25k on it. Was a car owned by an elderly guy that had a disability. As he got older he had trouble getting in an out with a wheelchair. So he traded it in to buy a van. So I bought it. It was parked in a heated garage. Absolutely flawless , everything looks new on it. Had 15k when I bought it. Figure it will last a long time. Gets 40-46 mpg depending on traffic .

Good stuff. I just bought one with over 150k miles on it. Does not feel or drive like it has 150k miles. Solid car to own with gas prices being this insane

I have a 2013 EX-L with 309k miles on it. Everything works, I've only ever replaced the alternator. Runs like new.

After 100k I would change air filter, trans oil, and spark plugs. Inspect serpentine belt as well. Those tires look great for that kind of mileage.

Have a 2014 Civic that I bought at 32,000 miles and just hit 103,000 miles. Only thing I had to do was replace 1 tensioner and I replaced the serpentine belt at the same time to be safe. She still drives like brand new, the engine sounds nice and smooth.

I have the same car. I got it from my grandpa for only $6,400 which was less than half it’s value. Even used Honda’s tend to be a little pricey compared to a Ford or Hyundai or Nissan of the same year. Only 10,700 miles when I got it in September and I’m already at 32,800 miles lol. I noticed you got the same average 28.2 mpg as mine too. I have a heavy foot and I rarely drive with Econ mode turned on since it makes the car hella slow. Plus I heard that “average mpg” is just average so I probably get more than 28.2 lol. Zero problems with this car so far except for my grandpa and my friends getting trapped in the passenger seat since the seatbelt sometimes refuses to unbuckle. Only thing that bothers me about the car is the placement of that back up camera screen. I wasn’t so lucky with my last 3 cars. None of them lasted more than 5 months but none of them were Honda’s either 🤷🏻‍♂️.

Wait a minute... Did you replace the tensioner because it rattled on acceleration? Super common on these civics to do that, but that should have been the drive belt alone. The tensioners on these do not have much play, and when the drive belt stretches due to age, the tensioner has extended to its limit and starts rattling. I replaced someone else's 13 civic tensioner without the belt, and it came right back in still rattling. Got called a dumbass by my master tech, then he told me when that happens, only change the drive belt lmao.

Just a 2020 update for people that read the comments: Below Mr. Real Steel sez he lost the car to a tree falling on it 10 months ago, and also, "just changed the oil" is a euphemism (for him) for changing all fluids- brake, coolant, trans - and belts. That is good information! Thank you! It is good to be proud of 100k, but you will hit 200k and 300k if you do all the proper maintenance. Not repair when it breaks down.

The car got state inspections every year and passed

My 2012 Civic EX-L had a shocking amount of problems around the 100,000 mile mark - the paint was fading, the transmission fluid had metal shavings in it (and felt like it was ready to grenade at any moment), the car bucked and jerked badly on gear shifts, the hesitation from a stop was horrible, there was a strange gurgling/buzzing sound when I pressed the accelerator pedal, and it ate through batteries and tires constantly. I had to get pawn it off at a dealer at a mere 104,000 miles in order to get SOME money back before the time bomb of a transmission blew. I bought that car in 2015 at 39,600 miles with the hopes that it would get to at least 200,000 miles without any issues or expensive repairs. Instead, it was a finicky, temperamental money pit...I took good care of that car, too...

Every day, those stalls are full of Hondas being worked on, with a never-ending row of Hondas needing repairs, behind the repair shop. Apparently, Hondas are not as trouble-free, as people assume. (I have 93,000 on mine and a loud, yet undetermined, roaring noise, when driving on the highway. The front left wheel bearing has been replaced 3 times; it may need a 4th replacement)
