The 2013 Civic is great for the cost and the efficiency. When I was shopping for a new car, I was really blown away by how many seemingly excessive new odds and ends seem to be in new cars lately. For example, I thought the rearview camera was really stupid, but it actually saves me so much time. The overall organization of the dashboard is pretty intuitive. The Bluetooth interface is fantastic, having controls uninvasively located on the steering wheel for access without depriving attention. Oil changes and other minor maintenance are no big deal.

I love my Honda Civic sedan. I've had it for five years. I made my final car payment a few months ago. It has over 100,000 miles on it, and it has never left me stranded. It has a four-cylinder engine, but it doesn't struggle going up hills. The body is sturdy. It has a few nicks and dings in it. That goes along with regular wear and tear. It has held up beautifully otherwise. Other than a tear in the drivers side seat, the interior still looks great.
