Overall, the 2011 Honda Civic is a good purchase to invest in. As with most Honda models, it's always a reliable drive, very rarely having mechanical issues, even when it has a lot of mileage on it. With that said, the model is now six years old, and the tech is outdated.

The Civic Coupe is small, reliable, fun and easy to drive, and relatively good looking for a budget vehicle. It gets outstanding gas mileage, and the small profile makes it easy to maneuver. I have found that it works particularly well in an urban setting, but it can more than handle its own on a variety of surfaces. It's a great all-season car. I live in Maine, and the traction and control is great on slippery or icy roads. I'm also pleased with the quality of the radio, the heating and cooling controls, and the comfort of the car.
