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.

Perfect Everyday Car

published

Bought a 2017 Honda Civic VTi Sport for $25,990 and a slab of beer. Car is great for a everyday car, not under powered and not over-powered. The handling is great as well, but there would be times where I prefer to turn corners better but that is just form me coming from previously owning a rear wheel car. Noise is very minimal making it great for road trips. Boot is spacious as well, can fit around 2 large luggage + small ones. Interior has that plastic feel but you get for what you pay for. Touchscreen apple android play is probably the best upgrade Honda did from their previous gen. So far, car has no issues and running costs (driving 50km a day) costs me around $40 per week in petrol which is considered pretty good!

Great affordable modern car

published

Recently purchased a Honda Civic sedan as a much needed upgrade from my old 2003 Toyota Camry. Was looking for a small sedan that I could use to drive around the city and for the odd road trips. This car ticked all the boxes. It is modern and sleek with a new design from the Civics of old. It has a very modern dashboard and is compatible with Andriod Auto which is a great bonus. There are some nice safety features too with front and rear sensors as well as rear and left sided cameras. The car itself drives well, there is a sports mode if you need a bit more power. Fuel consumption is about 8L/100km and it generally costs around $50 to fuel up a full tank.

Love my Civic

published

When the time finally came to upgrade my car I really wasn't sure what I was looking for. After test driving a number of vehicles I decided on a Honda Civic Hatch. I love the shape & style of this car. The fuel economy is great and I definitely feel I made the right choice

Honda Civic

published

I took test drives on both Honda and Mazda and felt that Honda Civic had the modern technology on the same price range, and the dashboard and interiors were of better quality. It comes up with inbuilt iPhone connection with the dashboard which will show the mobile screen on the car dashboard. The car is awesome and value for money. They are also giving year-end free warranty and roadside assistance and insurance for free.

Fantastic car

published

I purchased a new Honda Civic hatch after having a new Honda sedan previously for over 8 years. In between I purchased a Holden Cruze as the Civic hatch was not available until this year. I would highly recommend the Honda Civic to any one looking for a new car. They are reliable with little issues if any with engine issues. The finish is excellent and the new Hatch is fantastic with its Constant Variable transmission. I have done nearly 9000kms in this car with an average fuel usage of 6.6 litres per 100 kilometres. With its 5 year unlimited klm, warranty, fixed price servicing and 5 years roadside assist you cant go wrong with this car.

5 months later, I’m still in love.

published

I got a great price on my brand new Honda Civic RS. It took me six months to choose a car, but I just couldn’t shake off the slick black RS. But the price was just out of my range. So I settled for the VTEC. My dealer called me and said they won’t be shipping the vtec for two months but they had the rs in stock within the next few weeks. Clearly it was fate! I love and adore it more than my children sometimes hahaha. Can’t go wrong with a car you love! And so cheap to run. Costs me $50 a month in fuel.

Disappointed for a reputable brand

published

My wife bought this car from a friend with only 20k kms about 4 years ago. It currently has 75k kms. At 65k we had to replace 2 of the wheel bearings - front and rear. As a result we decided to do all of them. There was also a rattle in the gearbox when cold and engaging drive from reverse. Was apparently a loose transmission cover (assembly issue). Now there is a starter motor sound where it is not disengaging from the flywheel. Very disappointed as this car is never driven hard and serviced regularly. My suggestion is that if you are on a bugdet, buy Hyundai or if you can afford it, buy Toyota.

Just a good looking car

published

The VTi-S Hatchback car has the looks and internal space to make the car a medium size car with exceptional fuel economy and handling reserved for more expensive cars. The car has some features like keyless entry and a push button start. The audio with 8 speakers are exceptional for a car in this class. The boot space when compared to other cars in its class is much larger than the Toyota Corolla, Hyundai i30 or the Mazda 3. The road handling is excellent in both dry and wet conditions. I have not had to fill the car since I bought it and have not taken it anywhere near a highway but it has very good seats in both front and back. The only thing I could complain about is the lack of enclosed storage in the main cabin.

Best car I have had ever

published

The new Honda Civic is the best car I have had, so happy with the overall performance. On a trip I am getting 4.7 litres per 100 kms and around the city 7.0 litres . I am so happy with the running cost especially at this time with the high cost of petrol.
The car is so quiet and smooth on the road and I open the sun roof and feel and hear the breeze.
The entire interior is great, radio, air conditioner and GPS so easy to use. I am not a very tall person but my family say even with the driver seat pushed back the overall legroom in the car is fabulous.
My car is a very dark blue and I absolutely recommend Honda to all.
I was very lucky to have Yuki Wang the best ever Car Sales person at Nordic Honda - Adelaide.
Thank you Honda.

Fantastic, sports like, car

published

Driving Honda Civic is only a pleasure. Easy to drive, fast on take off and very quiet. Camera in the passenger side mirror is the best improvement I experienced for many years.
Interior is a huge improvement to what I experienced in previous Honda Civic MK9. Not only very roomy, but very nice, modern and advanced. With touch screen and that additional side camera this Honda Civic cannot do wrong for the price it's offered.
Very reliable and economic. 7 lt of petrol per 100 km on average that's not too bad for a sedan.

This is great performance and nice looking car. very easy to maintain and very reliable. the only thing is the air bag needs to be recalled. but Honda is very responsible company and willing to follow up any issue of the car. Interior design is comfortable and functional. The parts are very durable. Love it.

Amazing car

published

I have a Honda Civic manual,
We drove that from north to south along the East coast of Australia. Amazing comfort, that was the first pro which made us buys this car.
Very economical, and we love the comfort of driving. I am impressed by the stability and especially when making turns.
On the downside, I would believe that it is suitable to city driving but still good for interstate drives (with a cruise control).

I have read that same problem before when I did my research before buying the car but so far I haven’t experience it. I don’t know if it is with the older models or maybe my car is still fairly new that’s why it hasn’t happen to my car yet.
