Honda Civic 2012-2015 Engine Oil Life Maintenance Reset
For years, the Honda Civic ranked among the best small cars you could
buy - until the 2012 redesign. It was a big step backwards, losing its
premium feel and enjoyable nature. Instead, this Civic has a cheap
interior, numb handling, and a bouncy ride. Interior road noise is also
pronounced. Overly light and devoid of feedback, vague steering robbed
the Civic of its sporty character. The ride is unsettled, even on the
highway. Honda rushed back to the drawing board, substantially improving
the car for 2013 by improving the ride, handling, and interior finish.
More changes came for 2014, with a CVT automatic replacing the
traditional automatic. Throughout all of the changes, a high point was
the 1.8-liter four-cylinder, which returned an impressive 30 mpg with
the CVT and responsive acceleration. Expect 40 mpg overall from the
hybrid. The sporty Civic Si has a super-slick six-speed manual and
returns 29 mpg overall. There's even a natural gas version. Rear-seat
room is decent, but not everyone likes the dual-tier dashboard.
Stability control finally became standard.
