A very fun car to scoot around in.

I love driving a manual transmission and this car gives a big bang for the buck. I love all the features from the automatic high/low beams, right side camera when using the turn signals and the blue tooth capability.

Best Sedan i've ever owned.

It is the most fun, well optioned, and fairly priced sedans i've ever owned. I really enjoy the turbo and 6 spd manual transmission. The upgraded styling on the interior and exterior make it a step above anything else in it's price point.

Civic Si

Amazing fun little car, shifts great.. everything I wanted in a sports car the rear camera has 3 different views so if you have a small driveway like mine you can maximize your space without hitting anything.

Too New To Have Problems

Purchased a 2020 Honda Civic Sedan in June, 2020. Less than two months have passed and the a/c has gone out! Claudia (Service department) claims that "you are one of 4 customers with the same problem." So? Fix it! With the temperatures over 100 degrees daily, the only thing she can say is "your part is on back order and won't be in until October." OCTOBER??? We have to drive a hot box until summer's end and HOPE that this fixes the issue? Apparently Honda has had A/C issues with their Civics for quite a few years (go on line and google Honda A/C Problems) and this dealer knew about them, but never bothered to tell us about it during the sales process (deceptive trade practice?). The service department didn't offer us a loaner so we're stuck until the part comes in. It's safe to say that this experience has soured me completely on the car and on the dealership and I doubt I will EVER buy another vehicle from Rudolph. On a related note, I purchased a 1997 Tahoe from Rudolph and THE A/C STILL WORKS! But a brand new Honda? Nope. Do your homework on Hondas, and if air conditioning is important to you, you might want to consider a different vehicle -- and maybe a different dealer.

Sporty and practical rolled into a comfy ride

It’s the perfect vehicle as it gets better gas Mileage yet feels like a race car with its turbo. I like the 4 door option and wide opening on the hatchback.

First new car in 13 years!

I've been impressed with my Si Coupe so far as I've had it for about a month. I'm experiencing some firsts with this new car: 1. It's my first Honda; 2. It's my first car with Android Auto; 3. It's the first turbo I've driven with an engine this small; 4. It's the first with the latest safety equipment. With that said, I've been impressed with the car although I had a learning curve with Android Auto. In a word, I overestimated what it did and I've come to understand that only those apps that are useful while driving are important. Once I realized that, I've enjoyed using it and incorporating it into my driving routine. Satellite radio with HD has been such a pleasant experience. Again, coming from a 13 year-old car to something new like this one is like night and day. I'm loving Pandora and Spotify. This car is quite solid and stiff compared to what I've been used to and it feels like a vault. Even at high speeds, the car is fairly quiet, stable and most of the noise comes from the tires (all-season variety). The transmission is a joy to use, feels solid and clicks into each gear easily. I've been driving in normal mode but I've explored the Sport mode a few times so far. The ride is somewhat firmer in Sport and the car is more responsive in terms of handling and throttle response. Speaking of response, I've experienced some moments of turbo lag but that's because I stayed in a higher gear. Still, the turbo spools up very quickly and lag is no more than a second or two before boost comes on. I'm pleased that the final drive ratio was changed for this year as I imagine the boost and power issue would be more frustrating and/or anxiety-producing. Even at cruising speeds, a little more throttle brings the turbo online almost immediately - the car surges and it feels like it wants to go faster. I'm still not used to the handling as yet but it's definitely sharper than what I'm used to. I've been proceeding cautiously as I explore maneuvers and tight turns. The car is willing and able to execute these maneuvers well and I like how it tracks. I feel a lot safer in this car as it fared very well in crash and collision tests and it's nice to have an extra layer of security to fall back on. That doesn't mean I've relinquished my responsibilities as a driver like most people seem to. I still actively check my mirrors and do my best to be aware of others around me. I like that the adaptable cruise control can keep a set distance and I also like that the car can stay in its own lane for a few seconds. It would be nice to have blind spot monitoring as the rear quarter view is obscured quite a bit. The passenger-side camera is useful as It shows bar graphics to let me know how close I am to the car I'm changing lanes in front of. These graphics are identical to what I find when the reverse camera is engaged. I still look out the back window but the camera view is very useful for what I can't see close to the car or below the line of the trunk. It would be nice if the car had rear cross-traffic warning/braking but I'm more than capable of handling that myself. I like the new LED headlights and fog lights - very bright, very white! So, what else is left? The trunk has a reasonable amount of room and can carry quite a bit more with the 60/40 rear seats folded down. I'm 6'2" and I can fit very nicely in the front seats with room to spare. The headrests aren't adjustable but they come up to the back of my head. I was concerned about headroom with the sunroof but there's plenty of it and my hair doesn't get grazed by the headliner. I even tried out the backseats and I was surprised at how well I could fit. Granted it would be for a short trip but I wouldn't describe sitting back there as cramped. My head does bump against the rear window but at least I know I can carry any passengers reasonably. New electric features I've never used before are the power steering and the parking brake. The steering feels very much like a hydraulic system but it's more responsive than I've been used to. It took me a week to get used to the parking brake as well - pull up to set and push down to release just like a mechanical brake. I have just come out of the break-in period and I'm eager to explore the car more properly but I've been very happy with it. Gas mileage has been good so far but still adjusting. This car is affordable, very fun to drive, practical and if you love driving a stick, get it while you can.
