Good zippy sporty car

published

I bought this car brand new in order as I wanted the dyno blue colour.

It was fast zippy and the dashboard is like flying a jet fighter.

Probably the best car that I’ve driven.

The only bad thing is the blind spot in the front is pretty bad, as I’ve always run over kerbs.



As usual Honda sales people is just annoying and always treat people badly.

Comfortable drive

published

Pros: Spacious, dashboard design is great, easy to drive.
Cons: I have realised that it is a little noisy when driving but im not sure whether that is due to the state of the roads. I feel like that it is fairly so when accelerating from a stop, i have to really push my foot down on the pedal to accelerate from 0-100kms. The touchscreen is very outdated and has slow responses.

18 months old, elecrics/electronics unreliable

published

The Honda Civic looks and drives great however, we have had many problems with the charging system (flat battery) and minor electronic problems. The Honda agent is unable to fix the problems permanently. We have been a keen Honda family for the last 18 years having owned various models from Jazz to Accord luxury Euro.

Great overall car

published

Owned this car for a couple months now and so far no mechanical problems. It is economical and has a good mileage. There is one thing that is annoying however. First time setup for the navigation system was a pain in the back and the UI was not exactly user friendly. It did not feature inbuilt navigation and had to rely on apple carplay.

Reliable car and economical

published

Very reliable car. No problem so far. Quiet and cruise control works well.
Good fuel tank, about 43 litres. Good fuel economy 7 litre for 100km.
Good back boot for storage, this model offers much better boot space compared to previous models.
Came with free 5 year roadside assist . Saved at least $400 there.

Amazing car, never let me down!

published

Never had any mechanical problems, very roomy, economical 1.8L and fun to drive. This car has everything you need and is perfect for a first car or even a comfy and affordable family car. Stylish interior and still competitive with new cars on the market. iVTEC unit also makes it very nimble and agile

Good all rounder

published

Decent sized engine and drives smoothly like most Japanese cars. Would recommend people picking one up for their first car, even today 2018, if you can get a good price on it obviously. The aircon is really cold too. The only problem with this car is the design where the left and right diagonal view of the driver is obstructed by the frame. You do get used to it after a while though, just be extra careful when you're turning corners, especially where there are zebra crossings.

Love it: Keyless entry is super convenient, surprisingly roomy, very quiet, push to start ignition is very sleek, excellent power, love the automatic windscreen wipers and temp control.
Cons: This car needs to be serviced twice a year to keep the manufacturers warranty, that adds up quickly even with capped price servicing.

Negatives

Fantastic Daily With Plenty of Fun

published

This is without a doubt the best value for a performance car on the market in it's category. It offers world class handling in a compact car and is well equipped inside and out. Transmission most definitely exhibits Honda's signature Type R feel and turbo offers plenty of punch with minimal lag. Copious amounts of legroom for the driver and all passengers with a spacious rear cargo.

If you are chasing 0-100 times, this is not the car for you - do not be deceived by the FWD system. The interchangeable comfort settings are significant and the fuel economy is about 8.4L/100km with some spirited driving. The only disappointment is the exhaust note as it could be a little more aggressive but there are always aftermarket options.

As reliable as Hondas get

published

I am on my 2nd civic sport. First one was rear ended and totalled. Bought the same model again. Like the handling, responsiveness, agility, ivtec performance for the 2 litre version. The car carries 5 people on a steep uphill with no issues. Engine likes to rev. Fuel economy could be better. Accepts e10 but it disappears quickly. Better mileage with 98 octane despite higher price. Cheap to run Honda. Parts are abundant. And very very reliable. Highly recommended.

Perfect little car

published

Despite its small size, the Honda Civic feels extremely solid and steady. The driving experience is great as the performance of the car is more than enough within the city/urban areas. The car has many smart features equipped, as does most newer models. The shape of the car is beautiful and very unique compared to the other cars on the roads today. I would definitely recommend this car!!

Beautiful Car In and Out

published

Purchased a brand new Honda Civic in the Lunar Silver colour. First time buying a brand new car and this definitely did not disappoint. Everything is perfect from the performance to the interior/exterior of the car. Very generous space in the boot and the back seats. Very fuel efficient and great extra features such as parking sensors, side camera viewing and no key locking.

Great car for its price. The HUD is modern and sleek, comes with bluetooth, and the electronic speedometer display is a nice touch. The handling is smooth and the interior is very comfortable. I would recommend this car to anyone as it's a solid car, nothing stands out but no complaints either.

Reliable and well-priced

published

Purchased on Dec 2015. 38K on clock. Serviced by Honda all these while and the manufacturer found some oil leaks at 30K service, fixed with on drama.
Car has to send for service every 10K, which is very reasonable mileage.

8.1L fuel consumption per 100km as displayed on car dashboard. That's a mixed of freeway and city driving. My model is Vti-S, therefore nothing special about the performance. But sometimes I feel like it is underpowered when you have 3 other passengers in the car with you.

So far haven't got any other issue other than an oil leak that has been fixed easily without spending any dime. Will continue to update this review over time. Thanks for reading.

Perfect first car!

published

Purchased a Honda Civic VTi model as a first car and it does the job for the price (~23k). Can't ask for a better value sedan at the price point. Very comfortable interior, zippy but economical engine and the added touch of Apple CarPlay inside is perfect! Is a great small sedan that fits in small parking spots around the city but large enough to carry all your goods. The exterior looks sleek and the contours of the car look very good. Highly recommend.

Super Spacious and refined

published

This car is great. Coming from a 2015 Mazda 3 SP25 (BM) model, this is car is much more spacious, has heaps better NVH, is quieter and more refined. Looks futuristic, Turbo engine is sufficiently torquey and brisk. Could not have asked for a better affordable family car. The best thing about the this car is the steering. its super responsive and a joy to drive on windy roads.
