2013 Honda Civic "Let's Try This Again"

[Eismann]

Me too, We went to honda yesterday and tried confirming if that 2013 US version will be out in the local market sabi nila hindi daw and never will. too bad i will get stuck with this old box that I have, I really want the new revamped civic, The 2012 has alot of bad reviews and think like an overpriced vehicle, IMO lang ha, sorry for the current owners in case you see this. I hope they will come up with something better next year,

The upcoming all-new corolla looks very aggressive in terms of styling, why not wait for that instead?

based on experience. mas problematic parin ang civic vs the market leader. casa repair/maintenance cost nearly twice. fuel consumption is worst. I got stalled in the highway several times using the FD. Consumers lost confidence over these issues

I dunno pero I think the Civic went downhill after the EK, never liked any Civics after that model.

A lot of people like the FD. I used to have one, it is a great car.

BTT: The 2012 civic was not really as good looking as the FD, I didn't even consider trading the FD to the FB, so I ended up with another H brand. . This is a bit better than the 2012 version, but it still lacks something.

i dont see many new civics on the road. strange. These used to sell like hotcakes.....now I can go for DAYS without seeing even one.

Sakin naman, nakakakita ako at least dalawa per day.

For sure di na siya parang FD na nagkalat sa daan. This new Civic is like the Civic ES, after the EK... umonti Civic ... then came the FD dumami nanaman.

I have an FD fuel consumption isn't exactly the worst. Have you driven an Optra? Or a Nissan N16?

Even with traffic, I average around 8-9km/L. And for a 1.8L sedan, that's already something that I can be proud of.

Although I agree it isn't the world's most problematic-free car. I've experienced faults with the FD, starting with the engine support, the handbrake defect and others more. I don't know though if this can be already a basis of telling that Hondas now have poor quality compared to their old models, but from the looks of it, the answer is close to a yes.

good write up. but look at the streets. look at the sales figures. honda japan needed to wake up. The civic FD has lots of problems. although, mostly minor and intermitent lang. we need reliable cars. and that’s how honda lost its market.

Not just that. Honda lost its market because it's not making fast cars anymore.

If I'm not mistaken, on a straight lien drag, the 2.0S Civic FD will still be behind a Civic SiR, and that thing is made more than a decade ago. And the FD has 400cc more on its engine.

Tignan mo nalang, once Honda offers fast & good-looking cars, pipilahan nanaman yan.

Remember when Honda released the SiR and people have gone crazy? Toyota tried getting their market by releasing a Toms version of the Corolla but it's so ugly the people didn't like it and still grabbed an SiR instead

Anyway, the whole Civic lineup can be compared to a person.

It started on its kid years, the EF and the EG. Then it reached its teenage years, the Honda SiR. Where risks are taken, and going fast is the top priority. It got old and became more mature, the Civic ES. Then his midlife crisis came and wanted to become a kid again, the Civic FD. It's fast, but it's not as fast as the old Civic. Lastly, it came to a point where the kid is now an old man. Mature, and wants nothing but comfort and ease. Thus the Civic FB.

It's kinda like the Impreza. Gone are the days where it used to be sporty and fast. Honda probably set different priorities while making the new Civic

Huh? I don't think so. Halos the same lang casa maintenance ng Altis versus the Civic.

Too bad, mine is accumulating miles fastbecause ican't resist driving it. Enjoying every mile it gets, potentially getting to the moon and back.

Ouchhh. I have a 96vti and 16years after, it can still kick ass. No problems with maintenance. I like the civic FD after the ek, but the new model it lacks certain attitude that civics have with both fd and ek.

Sorry to disagree with you sir, i have sentra civic and now vios, i think all of them are really reliable. Simmilarly with mitsu's.

Minsan hindi ung product ang may problema yung gumagamit. Civics have decent power but it is not a rezing car imho.

sorry again Sir to disagree, 5 of my officemates are using Civic FD's (all girls pa) no rpoblem so far, except of course some of them have already minor scrathes on the bumper sides, side mirrors and etc.

it came to a point that prior to me purchasing the vios my officemate offered her civic to me pero in the end she will keep the car na alng daw kasi wala siyang kahit isang problema.

AFAIK, i may be right i may be wrong but note that very few girls know how to maintain cars properly - and their civics are still in good pristine condition.

I agree to Sir Renzo, i think honda is also maturing as its main market matures. In addition, civics used to be fast cars but those days are gone since of the cars also became fast, hehehehe.

2013 civic saw one in northgate without tint, honestly hanep ang itsura sa loob. di alng talaga kaya ng budget ko pero nagmature lang ako. hehehehehe

[renzo_d10]

Although owners shouldn't feel sad, at all.

If there's one Civic FB that I really like, eto na siguro. Clean & simple.

I actually agree with both sir brainmafia and sir renzo, I also didn't get too much problem with my FD. I just had the handbrake thing and that's it. No other issues with it. I was so happy with my FD and I still regret selling it to get another H brand.

[sparton]

ano problem sa handbrake? Common issue ba yan?

[renzo_d10]
