Index of 2010 Honda Civic Coupe Expert Reviews
- CarGurus—”The Civic tries hard to be the vehicle that addresses all concerns, with its base DX trim taking up economy duty, the mid-level EX trims offering a bit of luxury, and the Si flexing some meager muscle. Some of these accomplish their intended goals better than others, notably the Si, while the EX trims are still stuck with all the negatives – unrefined engine and poor noise dampening – of the lower trim. Still, there’s been much improvement in the Civic over the last three decades, and Honda is sure to continue that trend.”

Pros
Great fuel economy, acceleration, and brakes. Stylish, sexy, fun to drive, and economical
Cons
Only con is if your tall and you sit in the back, it is a bit uncomfortable due to the low roof
Purchased As New
I love this car! It’s so much fun to drive, and handles well in every type of weather. I’ve driven the car in a blizzard, and it handled wonderfully. I love the low gas mileage, however I wish it had a bigger fuel tank. I drive a 2005 EX Special Edition. This car has a great head unit, and speakers. It was also very economical compared to others companies. Reliability in this car is amazing, and when it comes to repairs, I have only had to replace one thing which was the catalitic converter due to rust. The only problem with the car was the original tires when I purchased the car. They were Continental tires, and they slid when there was dew on the ground. After replacing my tires, my car sticks to the ground and performs much better.

Pros
Great gas mileage, confortable seating, futuristic interior, all around a great car.
Cons
Horsepower could use some help and also the leather seats get hot in sitting heat when you startup.
Purchased As New
I’ve had the 2009 Honda Civic EX-L since September of 2008 and it’s been a car that stood out in ways unimagined. The exterior seems simple but striking when up close. Although you may only see the interior the majority of your driving lifetime, fellow drivers will admire the Civic as “the one that got away”. I always cherish my Civic every time I see one like mine pass me by.
Its interior is what keeps me indulged to keep driving as I sit in the driver’s seat. The leather wrapped steering wheel spoils my fingertips, teasing me with the smoothness and control that it gives me as I make turns in my daily driving. The calm and gentle gauges keep me focused on my driving conveniently showing me my gas amount, temperature, and speed, etc. The USB and AUX capability gives me the ability to plug in an IPod, flash drive with music, or any mp3 player. When using the USB connection allows it to be operated using the controls on the head unit or steering wheel. The AUX connection also allows you to connect other non USB gadgets by using an audio cable. Storage locations also keep clutter out of your way, keeping your car looking clean and new with hidden cup holders and a Center Console with Sliding Armrest and Storage Compartment.
The Civic does come with some cons, such as the horsepower and ?heated seats?. The horsepower really makes one feel as if it could be better. Keeping the car out in direct sunlight heats up the car to lead you to think it?s sometimes a sauna. It can easily be brought to normal with the AC on mid-blast for a few minutes or opening your windows to expel the trapped hot air.
I enjoy this car?s atmosphere constantly not just because it?s new but because it makes me feel like if it?s my home away from home.
