Best review yet. It felt like a conversation with someone that has knowledge of cars. It was comfortable, funny, educated, and everything I've been wanting to see in these reviews. Great shots from the road. Great experience review.
I bought my 2013 Civic LX from my grandpa 2 1/2 years ago with only 10k miles on it since my 90 year old grandpa couldn’t drive anymore. I needed something reliable and that Civic never failed me once. I beat it up and put 100k miles on it in a 2 year period. It still never had issues. I gave it to my brother about a month ago and now I drive a 2019 Camry. The civic got 111k miles on it now and it still runs the exact same way as it did when my grandpa bought it new back in late 2012.
Honestly, this is one of the best looking Civics ever~ I think the 2008 and 2013 versions of the Civic are my favourites. If I ever get a car just for me, I think the 2008 or 2013 Civic are my go-tos now~
@@lovelyyy7573 Yeah he did say that every Civic for 2013 came with a backup camera as standard, but even without one, the Civic is a small car so it isn't hard to park.
I've read alot of automotive reviews in 51 years and I have viewed many video reviews both on the internet and on broadcast television. I've just subscribed to your site because that was without question the best video critique that I've ever seen done on a car. That review would score as one of the best written reviews of a car. Great reporting. I'm looking forward to more great stuff in the future.
I currently drive a 2006 Civic EX coupe and absolutely adore it. Right now it's at 450,000 kilometres and I've had to do barely any work to the car at all. Definitely a civic fan for life. I'm having a kid now and I need a sedan, so I'm looking at a 2012 LX and a 2013 EX tomorrow!
@@user-ul5wq3kv4p Only the tensioner bolt broke. Probably not torque correct when tensioner pulley was replaced. Shop redid under their warranty. So far no crack block issues. I have 146k miles now.
There you are! No worries, we figured you were busy selling Hondas for the end of the month/year when it was uploaded. Glad you enjoyed it, we're looking forward to showing more Hondas/Acuras in the future!
Just bought the Touring model (Canada)= Ex-L (USA). my dream car. Thanks Honda. But the review guy is too picky. People buy Honda cause its reputation+reliability. Most people don't care about the HP in cars like civic/corolla
By far the best video review of the new 2013 Civic! Very comprehensive which is sorely missing from most video reviews. I recently test drove the 2013 Civic EX sedan and came away EXTREMELY impressed! I've been driving a 2012 Civic EX sedan for nearly a year now and there's no comparison to the new 2013. The '13 Civic is like a completely different vehicle with a completely different personality. Honda got all the small stuff, the details right with the '13 model. Kudos to Honda!
I'm 33 and honestly if it's quiet enough this might be the ride I get for my PA to Baltimore/DC/Annapolis commutes. I ran into a cousin today and she drives a lot for work. She said she loves hers and it doesn't have her feeling beat up by the end of the day. I'm so used to the quiet and smoothness of my Navigator that my Escort Wagon just doesn't cut it for the longer trips when it ends up being a 13+ hour day between leaving the house and pulling back into the driveway. I just know if I do more of these long drives the SUV's MPG won't be sustainable.
I agree. Every company should listen to their customers. Honda updated the Civic not once, but twice on the 9th gen Civic...Toyota apparently didn't do that on the corolla. Atleast not with the 2013 corolla which was downright insulting. Decided to take on a 8000 dollar loss and trade this corolla for a new civic. Could NOT have been happier cuz Toyota doesn't deserve my money anymore. They should just sell their whole lineup to Hertz rentals for all I care. lol
I own the 2013 civic Lx model. It lasted me from high school to college!! After 4 yrs college, I work 9-5 and it’s been my daily driver ever since. It’s a great car, I drove it to Vegas and to Rosarito Mexico. A couple times to Tijuana! The 2013 civic just last !! I only replaced the radiators at 100 k miles and changed the brake pads! Repair is easy and DIY-able! I did my oil change and tire rotation. As Honda says, “ smile per gallon” ! It’s facts! It’s okay on gas I average about 26 mpg. It can fit 2 bikes in the rear trunk. Great car and excellent build! I would buy the exact same car again!
I'm a mom of 4 boys...the oldest being 22, and the youngest being 13. I'm constantly on the go with my boys, with football, craft shows, etc. Even though I'm always out and about, I usually only have to fill up once a week. I got the EX model in white, and we love it. Smooth ride, quiet, and for a sort a small car, it's very comfortable on long rides. I'm very happy with this choice of car. I'm not out to impress anyone, and I'm saving money...which I feel is important in this economy!
Great review as always. I'm not one of those 'Honda fan-boys', but I do respect that Honda corrected what they acknowledged as a lacklustre effort. This 2013 Civic seems like one of the best cars in the class, especially when resale value and long-term reliability are factored in. Good on Honda!
The EX also gets you a moonroof, 16" alloy wheels, rear disc brakes, auto climate control, and a 6 speaker stereo. At $1850, its a worthy upgrade in our eyes :)
How do you determine the Cruze will be cheaper to maintain? The design is relatively new and the engine is a new design; small displacement turbo engines are relatively high strung in their mechanical design. If there is any vehicle that will require more maintenance and have more problems down the road it will be the Cruze. The Civic has always had a reputation for lower ownership cost and low repair cost.
I have a 2015 LX and like it a lot. I actually am glad it doesn't have push button start. I prefer the old fashioned key. I have the same Blue color as your tester. I know a lot of people like the 2016 and newer Civic's better, but I actually prefer the ninth gen styling wise (haven't driven a 10th gen, but hear they are much improved to drive), the black grill seems like more traditional Honda compared to the silver "brace face" look of the newer Civic models. I like Honda cars a lot, and am glad I bought one again
Best civic review I've seen so far. Other reviews kind of just glaze through and barely even talk about the interior. I'm thinking of getting one but I want to see what the new 2014 corolla is going to look like first.
If you look at the rear end of a 2002-2005 Camry, the tail lights have the same shape. Most cars today cost roughly $100 bucks to replace a lost key. Just be careful and don't lose the key...
You can buy that exact package as the 2013 Acura ILX Premium, as a bonus you get HID headlights, dual zone auto temp control, 17" alloy wheels, and slightly more power.
The 09 Civic is still a great car. Just keep in mind it will lack features like a back up camera, Bluetooth, Pandora, and the SMS text message reading capability. LX and below models also lack a USB input. The choice is yours, if you want the latest tech features and can swing the extra cost, the 2013 will be a better choice. If you don't need all those features and want to save money, go for the 2009 model, but we'd recommend an EX and up.
I have this car and gotta say, it’s extremely sluggish and has poor acceleration. Honda missed it on this point as it’s predecessor was much better especially without the Econ mode. Second thing I dislike is the lack of temp gauge as who needs a freaking mpg gauge when it’s already in the info center
Well, the Focus ST and Dart don't compete until an SRT-4 version of the vehicle comes out. We are planning to review the Dart soon, we do find the styling to be quite aggressive but we will reserve our final judgement until we drive the car.
who is this kid? perfect review . better than any big organization. like KBB, CONSUMER REVIEW, AUTOGUIDE, EXC...... YOU NAME IT. i like the way this guy reviewing. perfect keep it up buddy.
I kind of like the cockpit in this car I mean some minor revisions would be nice but I like how everything is angled for the driver. and not just flat.
I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait to get it. This car (EX) is really awesome. Just a word to the wise after taxes, freight, warranty and tinted windows, mine was about $31,800 (In Canada are dollar is within a cent of USA). I don't like the 16" rims my friend works at a shop so I can get some 18" rims really cheap. I also think it should have chrome exhaust, fog lights, and leather/racing seat option. Other than that I really like the car. Those are all fun after market projects though!
Honda calls the changing segment bars around the speedometer their Eco coach. Every time you hit the gas it turns blue but as soon as you let off on the throttle it turns green. It's supposed to help you drive more efficiently. We thinks its kind of annoying and doesn't really help our lead foot ;)
We think Honda didn't update the styling as much on the Civic coupe because the 2012 model did not get as much negative criticism as the sedan did last year. The coupe now has more competition from Hyundai/Kia, hopefully Honda will update the coupe's styling soon.
Nice looking car, unlike some crazy new designs,nice interior,better than average reliability. Good choice at 19_20 grand. Looks as big as our 2001 accord which has been a great car. Hard to go wrong with this.
A lot would argue that the used Audi will be expensive to maintain. The GTI is great but it's much more expensive than the Civic. Lastly, the yaris and Prius are just a snooze to drive. So why not get the Civic instead if you want a good balance?
Great review! I own a '12 Si coupe. not a fan of the fake carbon fiber on the dash, but the rest of the improvements sound great. I would personally love to see a side by side comparison, and good test drive :)
I bought a 2013 Honda coupe HF model through a Honda dealer. I get 21-22 mpg in city in the summer and 17 mpg in the winter. I live on lake erie. The dealer is absolutely no help with this issue and I even called corporate again not much help. It hesitates most days when taking off at a light, the lights flicker on occasion.Basically they say it is the way I drive. I am a very conservative driver. The car only has 6500 miles on it. It reads no codes so they say there is nothing they can do. Do you think an engine diagnostic could find anything...thanks
I still think this Civic and the 8th generation Civic still look fresh today, even if they are older cars now~ Plus the reliability of Honda vehicles is also near the top :) Honda vehicles are just tanks that last for years. That two-tier dash will never get old for the Civic. This 2013 Civic and the 8th gen Civics are some of the best Civics I think Honda has made, and they are my favourite iterations of the vehicle.
Our ears note that the Elantra's engine is a bit "thrashy" sounding at high revs vs the motor in this vehicle. Other than that, both vehicles are exceptionally smooth driving.
We have nothing against the Cruze, it's a much better vehicle than the awful Cobalt that went before it, but Chevy has not had a good reputation for building small cars, it's kind of the same story with Dodge and their new Dart. That "cheaper" price up front will be offset down the road where the Cruze will have less than stellar resale values compared to a Civic, Mazda3, or Volkswagen Jetta. MSRP wise, the Cruze is about the same, the rebates make it cheaper, which also hurts resale values.
I actually just traded in my 2013 Focus for a 2013 Civic EX-L. I'm sure the Civic will be the more reliable car. Plus, I've never had a car with a moonroof, leather, or automatic climate control. If there's one feature that I wish the Civic had on it which I'll miss from the Focus, it would be the integrated blind spot mirrors. I'm probably going to end up buying a pair to put on my side mirrors. Those things are definitely worth having.
I have 2013 focus that didn't start up one day, turns out it was the Transmission control module. So I've been thinking about trading it in for the 2013 civic. How do you like it so far? What's you mpg like?
+MusicHead480 I like it! It may not be as sporty as the Focus, but it's comfortable and I like the interior layout better, not to mention not having to deal with a DCT. I had the TCM updated, but the shudder happens when it warms up. I live very close to work, so that skews my mileage lower just like in the Focus. I really want to take it out on a highway trip to check out the mileage in that regard.
Just came across this video.. I think the car you drove for the review had a blown head gasket. When you reved the engine water was shooting out. That's not normal and is a sign of a blown head gasket.
I bought one with low miles at a Honda dealership. I like the car because it looks stylish and it is good on gas. I was averaging 44 mpg in the highway last week.
The Eco Assist light bars can be disabled to just show as blue at all times. Go into the iMID and I believe it's hidden under Trip Odometer settings. I think what you're looking for is "Fuel Efficiency Backlight"
It’s now going to be 2020 and I have my eyes set on this Honda Civic saving cash for it
Wish me luck guys

How did I miss this review??? Great info and as always I love your personal view. Your reviews of the Honda Products are my favorite ;-)
This car rides like a way more expensive vehicle and it's so quiet. I can't beleive how quiet it is.

My dude was hammering on that engine COLD lol
You are correct, in the US, the EX sedan only comes with a 5AT, the coupe does offer an EX 5MT however.

Not just for high school kids, we were just saying it makes a great first car for them, we realize a diverse age group of buyers purchase a Civic.

It doesn't take high speeds to notice that a car corners more eagerly or has better steering feel.
That decision is for you to make. Do you need the extra space, more comfortable ride, or more power the accord offers?
I have this car and gotta say, it’s extremely sluggish and has poor acceleration. Honda missed it on this point as it’s predecessor was much better especially without the Econ mode.

We never once changed lanes... we were filming on a two lane narrow back road...
I don't know why there is so much hate for this car. It looks pretty good!
The Si sedan will be out in Feb
17" tires are more expensive! Civics are about low-cost transportation. I'd actually prefer the standard 15" steel rims.
I'm about to buy the Corolla S 17" wheels for this civic because the hubcaps are not aesthetically pleasing in my opinion.
I kind of like the cockpit in this car I mean some minor revisions would be nice but I like how everything is angled for the driver. and not just flat.
you may find the headroom a tad lacking, we'd recommend going with an Accord or choosing a Civic with no sunroof.
I just bought one yesterday. I can't wait to get it. This car (EX) is really awesome. Just a word to the wise after taxes, freight, warranty and tinted windows, mine was about $31,800 (In Canada are dollar is within a cent of USA). I don't like the 16" rims my friend works at a shop so I can get some 18" rims really cheap. I also think it should have chrome exhaust, fog lights, and leather/racing seat option.

The 2013 Si Sedan will not be out until the spring
We are thinking Acura will update the ILX next year with similar improvements.
Got me the 08 civic 5 years ago. Now gonna trade in my civic for this one. I truly love civics.
Just bought one today 76,000 miles silver, hoping it will last longer then my VW!

They made it quieter by adding more sound insulating materials throughout the cabin
Honda offers NAV as a trim. An EX-NAVI or EX-L NAVI is what you need to go for.
Great review! I own a '12 Si coupe. not a fan of the fake carbon fiber on the dash, but the rest of the improvements sound great. I would personally love to see a side by side comparison, and good test drive :)
We'd rate the Focus above the Civic mostly because it is available in a hatchback configuration.
It's a difficult decision, we like the fact that the Focus is a hatchback, that may tip the scales toward the Ford's favor for us.
Oh finally i found someone talking about real world info on this car. Tnx

+MusicHead480 I like it! It may not be as sporty as the Focus, but it's comfortable and I like the interior layout better, not to mention not having to deal with a DCT. I had the TCM updated, but the shudder happens when it warms up. I live very close to work, so that skews my mileage lower just like in the Focus. I really want to take it out on a highway trip to check out the mileage in that regard.
I just bought a 2015 Lx for $5k. Rebuilt title but it drives perfect. I’m loving the comfort and fuel economy.
Why Jackson of course :)
You are mostly correct, we do think Toyota buyers are worst with their loyalty to the Corolla
Excellent review, the test drive is outstanding. Needs an additional camera angle though, like a gopro camera mounted near the wheel.
I AM SO GLAD YOU DID THIS REVIEW This is a welcomed improvement!

Dude is talking about some pretty ritzy high school kids, yeah.
That's just how he drives. But we also must be respectful of the vehicles we test :)
Just came across this video.. I think the car you drove for the review had a blown head gasket. When you reved the engine water was shooting out. That's not normal and is a sign of a blown head gasket.
In this class, our favorites are the Honda Civic, Mazda3, and Ford Focus.
Fantastic review Sofyan!! By far one of your best. Honda has another great product on their hands. Is USB on all models?
Wow Sofyan! Your video's are getting up there with motor week!!!
I bought one with low miles at a Honda dealership. I like the car because it looks stylish and it is good on gas. I was averaging 44 mpg in the highway last week.
Just drive the Civic Si model. The motor is straight out of the Acura TSX :)
If you can swing the cost and want your civic to look more premium we think its worth it to upgrade to an EX.
Your reviews are excellent. Keep up the good work.
EX-L is the top trim, EX is the mid-level.
My parents did. It was a 2005 Suzuki. After rebates and what not, out the door it was $11,800. I've now worked my ass off and drive a '12 VW CC.
The Eco Assist light bars can be disabled to just show as blue at all times. Go into the iMID and I believe it's hidden under Trip Odometer settings. I think what you're looking for is "Fuel Efficiency Backlight"
Excellent review. Liked your opinions about the 17 inch wheels for the EX. gotta try that in my videos.
Convinced me to buy this car. Was a bit confused till I saw this video. Thanks 👍🏾
Best reviews on the Tube Soyfan!
I'm liking the new intro
