Civic EX

  • 74,000 miles

I have 74,000 mostly freeway miles on my Honda Civic EX. How ridiculous to have to replace the transmission. I've always kept up with all required maintenance on the car. This is the first Honda I've ever owned, and it's the last Honda I'll every own. What a HUGE disappointment!!

Civic LX

  • 43,101 miles

Honda fails to deliver what they promise (guess what quality customer services). Tranny goes bad due to the faulty solenoid and in US Honda reimbursed to several owners, but declining to me. Honda Civic is absolutely the worst car of the Year in North America. I will advise every one to think before going stylish about the new design. As new design comes at the cost of transmission. Honda America and Honda Canada both failed to compensate my losses and mental torture, its no more quality you are buying. As we bought thinking it will last for at least 200,000 miles but it's dying at 43000 unbelievable HONDA... Please Don't buy HONDAs they are TONDA's Transmission ordeal nationally declared in America's.
