Have you experienced any reliability issues with your vehicle since you purchased it?

Have you had to make any warranty claims?

Has your vehicle been serviced at least once since you took ownership?

Yes

I previously had my car serviced regularly through the Honda dealership, but for the past four years, I’ve been using a private mechanic.

While I was generally happy with Honda’s service, my current mechanic is far more convenient and significantly more affordable.

Overall, are you satisfied with your ownership experience so far?

Yes

I love my Honda Civic. It is the perfect size for what I need in a car. The interior is spacious, but it's still small enough to easily park and maneuver. The boot space is very generous, and the backseat can comfortably fit two adults.

I’d happily recommend it to small families or empty nesters looking for a reliable, comfortable run-around.

I'm currently in the market for an upgrade and would definitely consider a Civic or other Honda model again.

Sue’s experience with the 2019 Honda Civic FK5

I enjoy driving my Civic. It is comfortable, has plenty of zip when needed, and is excellent on fuel. I like the tech it offers, although I do wish I had bought the next model up for the added convenience of Bluetooth connectivity and automatic lights. The sound system is clear with good bass.

I drive every day and really cannot fault the car. Road noise is minimal, the interior is well upholstered and soft, and the touchscreen is easy to read and positioned perfectly. I have moved furniture, garden supplies and pets in my Civic without any trouble, and both short and long trips are always enjoyable.

The fuel economy is great, and servicing and insurance are inexpensive. One of the reasons I chose this car was the generous warranty and roadside assistance package. I have no hesitation recommending it to friends or family, and I even find myself mentioning it to customers at work when the topic comes up.
