I contacted Honda and 3 weeks later they get back to me. At minimum $3,000 to replace (it an electrical hybrid design) the cost was outrageous and was told by the dealer to not drive it until fixed. Just out of extended warranty, the air conditioning pump needed replaced. Steering is too sharp and no feed back, reminding me of late 60's or 70's cars. Ride was rough, even when I replaced the tires with the best tires on the market that were suppose to give a excellent ride. Gas mileage was never even close to what was rated. Driving down the highway all the lights would come on and the car would stop, extremely dangerous in California traffic. It always had weird electrical issues that the dealer could never find. I bought it new with the a 6/60,000 warranty. The Civic now also offers forward collision warning and lane departure warning as options - or standard on the Civic Hybrid. Also standard are side curtain airbags with a rollover sensor. The Civic’s new SmartVent front-seat side-impact airbags are designed to prevent excessive force. The Civic was already a top scorer before this test. The most extensive engineering changes for 2013 include a redesigned front-end structure to comply with new small-overlap frontal crash tests being phased in by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Civic Natural Gas, which is now available in 37 states, has a modified version of the 1.8-liter four-cylinder and five-speed automatic. The sporty Civic Si has a 201-hp, 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a six-speed manual. The Civic Hybrid employs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder and electric motor with a continuously variable automatic transmission for 110 hp total.

The front brake discs are larger on automatic-equipped LX, EX and EX-L trim levels.Īs in the 2012, the 2013 model employs a 140-horsepower, 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine and a five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The electric power steering has a quicker ratio and less friction. Extensive front and rear suspension changes, from bushings to spring and stabilizer bar firmness, aim to reduce body roll and improve ride quality. The changes for 2013 aren’t under the hood so much as the body.

Other standards across the 2013 Civic range include Bluetooth connectivity with audio streaming, Honda’s i-MID display screen, iPod connectivity, Pandora internet radio compatibility, steering-wheel audio controls, an outside temperature gauge and a sliding center armrest. All Civics now have a standard backup camera, a claim other compacts can’t make. Honda has eliminated the base Civic DX sedan, making the LX the lowest trim level. Honda took steps to quiet the cabin, with a thicker windshield and front side windows, and soundproofing material in the dashboard, floor, doors and rear deck. Now the underside of the trunk lid is covered - rather than exposed sheet metal - in all versions. The seat fabric has been improved, and an all-black color scheme is newly available. In response to complaints about the hodgepodge of textures in the 2012, Honda has unified the materials and graining. Interior upgrades include new headliner material, soft-touch surfaces on the dashboard and upper portion of the doors, and new trim textures.

The Civic coupe’s exterior styling carries over unchanged, but all Civic models across the line get restyled wheels. The bumper is revised and now has a diffuser panel. The taillights now extend onto the trunk lid. There’s more chrome in back, with a strip of it running the width of the trunk lid. The Civic sedan gets a redesigned, chrome-accented grille and lower front bumper and a taller, sculpted hood.

The Civic’s many competitors include the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra. The Civic comes in coupe and sedan body styles regular gas, hybrid and compressed-natural-gas versions and a performance-oriented variant, the Civic Si. The underlying front-end structure was redesigned to address future crash-test methods. The sedan has received the most changes.įar beyond a light tweaking, the 2013 Civic sedan has new sheet metal, chassis tuning, interior upgrades and many more standard features.

Though the Civic remained a top-seller, Honda heard the chorus loud and clear and performed a rare immediate update for 2013. It was only one model year ago that Honda redesigned its compact Civic, but the 2012 model was criticized for not being a big-enough leap forward and, where interior materials were concerned, for taking a step back.
