2009 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"Not as good as reviews suggest"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only 200 miles, nothing wrong so far other than rough idle.
General comments?
Very good interior space.
Not so good:
Very jumpy ride and lot of road noise. May be the tires are the problem?
My wife and daughter decided to go out and lease this vehicle, then decided then did not want it! I ended up with the vehicle... but am still objective as the vehicle had such good reviews.
My current vehicle is a Toyota Camry (Nov. 1996 model). Even this 13 year old vehicle is far superior, quieter engine (also 4 cylinder like the Honda), much better ride quality.
Overall, the Civic is a big disappointment as one reads such good things about it.
