I have the exact car... bought used in 2013 with 20,000 miles on it. I now have 236,000 miles on it! It's been reliable with zero problems!

I have that exact car .I got it fresh zero miles, and now have 81k miles on it. I get 30.5 mpg this car is Bullet proof.I love it

I had a 2012 Civic LX. It was in three accidents (the last one totaled it finally), 322k miles, and didn't burn a drop of oil. And no rust, while parked outside in Northeast, Ohio...A true diehard car.

I'm buying this car in 2 days and I am more excited now because of how much you hyped this car up!

Man when these came out, I was still driving my 11 year old 2000 Civic...Wanted it so bad but couldn't understand why the reviews were so crap. Nonetheless, I was able to buy the 2014 model and I had lots of fun in that car. Loved the digital gauge and i-mid screen. These cars are so cheap second-hand and I would happily buy one over a Corolla or Forte of the same age. You can pretty much get these cars for about the same price as the 8th gens.

I love mine. Just changed the transmission fluid on it for the first time at 85k miles and it’s a smooth ride.

I just purchased this car a week ago and love it. 30mpg and only 128k for $7.5k. Makes a huge difference in comparison to my 2015 Buick Verano.

Currently have this car, bought it with 79k KM and now it has 182KM. Gave me no troubles to this day, super easy to maintain and parts are extremely cheap. Trading her in for 2022 Honda Civic hopefully the quality is the same

I have an 2008 LX. Looks and drives like new. No paint issues at all. I bought it used with 117k miles. One owner before me, perfectly maintained. Even transmission drain and fills every 35k. Now it has 165k 5 years later. I'd trust it to drive cross country. But I do have a 2012 FJ Cruiser with only 85k miles that I take on long trips; the Civic is my daily in town driver.

I have a 2012 civic with 160,000 miles. The only problems I have had so far are jammed rear window which is stuck in the closed position, so I didn’t bother to fix it, starter motor replacement at 140,000 and changed one engine mount at 150,000 miles. Overall it’s a great car, although the interior has a lot of cheap plastic.

I love my 10th gen 2018 Civic EX-T bought new in June 2018. It’s a 1.5 liter turbo averaging 33.7 mpg with 174 hp 162 lb/ft torque. Curb weight is under 2,900 lbs. The performance is exceptional. I only use top-tier 93 Octane for the high detergent additives (trying to mitigate carbon deposits since it’s a turbo). I change the oil/filter every 4,200-5,000 miles using only Honda 0W-20 oil. I already changed the transmission fluid and the engine air filter, twice. I hit 73,000 miles with no problems to date. Keep your car well maintained and you will have many years of trouble-free driving. I plan to keep my Civic for over 250,000 miles.

I just bought a 2012 tonight - black with grey leather and 107578 miles. I love it. It will be my road trip car and it still has a cd player so I can jam out to my Scorpions CDs! I go back and forth from Florida alot and this little gem should get me there safe and sound.

Best car ever I miss my Honda..she was totalled while parked and I was at work. I had a 2012 ex coupe with navi/ Xm radio the sound the speed was everything. I think I had her from 80k to 149k. I now have a 2018 toyota chr bought her at 20k miles so technically my first "newer used"

I never understood the hate for the 2012 Civics. I think they look awesome, better than the 2013 and up and the 2011 and back.

My wife just bought one! We sold our 97 Miata - perhaps the least practical car in the world but also the most fun. Looking forward to being grown ups 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

Bought my 2012 brand new. I've put almost 250k miles with no issues and the average mpg is 40mpg on mostly highway driving.

Love mine. 2012 SI bought it 1year old with 35K on her. I now have 285K on the odometer. Changed fluids, tires, brake pads and rotors ,frt struts and ball joints. The best car I've ever owned. I do all my own work. Retired mechanic.

I drive a UK spec 2015 9th gen 1.8 hatch. One of the handful which sold in my country. It’s easily one of the best looking vehicles on the road, even 6 years later. With those “bulletproof” mechanicals, it’s almost like dating a model with old school values. I’m keeping it for the next 6 years.

I also have the 2012 Civic LX with 210k miles. This vehicle is so well built for reliability. I used drove this car from New Jersey to Boston, MA on the weekly basis (6hr drive). Going to get another Honda again!

I watch many reviews on civics, and you explain clear and straight forward men your a legend.

I bought one for $7k at 140k miles a week ago, I was hesitant because of the mileage, but my buddy who's more car savvy than me insisted I get it. I just learned that Civics last incredibly long with good fuel efficiency. Haven't looked back.

Had mine 7 years, 169,000 ALL IS GREAT!!!!

Buying one today! Pretty excited! I test drove it the other day and it was amazing!

The 2012 Civics are very hard to find. This was the first year of the 9th generation redesign

Just bought one for my first car a couple days ago. Kinda wanted a coupe cuz I think they look slightly better, but they were too hard to find close by. Love it so far. It's really easy to drive.

Omg, thank you so much for this review because i was thinking about buy one exactly like that!

One of the best secondhand cars you can get today. Just make sure it's fully serviced (fully documented services), that it doesn't have alot of miles on it, and that you take it to a mechanic that can run all checks on it and give you the thumbs up before you buy.

I have a 2013. Same model. Went through three front wheel bearing, before it went 88,000 miles. (the chrome plating fell of the bearings). Three different times codes, "Emission control's". (Honda charged $500 to reset the code. The 2nd time, I bought an OBD2 scanner and reset it myself. Dealer said there was no problem, it just needs to be reset). On the 3rd gas cap. (I now put a very thin coat of grease on the rubber seal of the gas cap to keep it from getting brittle or cracking). To remove the wheels, you need to have a big hammer to hit the tires on the inside to remove them. ROAD NOISE! More road noise comes though the vehicle, than any car I've ever owned. Every little noise on the interstate is heard inside, from the rolling of the tires to the wind going over the car. If you like to listen to audiobooks in your Honda Civic, you need to have the audio maxed (on 40). It may be a good little car for a college student, a 2nd vehicle, but it's definitely not a comfortable car and I would not want to take it on a cross country trip.

It amazes me how those Korean fanboys compare Korean reliability to Japanese. My uncle had a 98 Accord with 275,000 miles and never had an issue, he sold it to a coworker a few years ago for $300 and he is still driving it today in 2021. Meanwhile my 2015 Sonata is falling apart with only 65,000 miles.

I love Honda civics! I have bought a 2015 lx or ex (idk which one lol) at 89k miles and I love it. My mileage is at 32 mpg with mostly city miles, it sav3s me a lot on gas and it feels much nicer to hav a car than a suv/higher up vehicle bc of the better handing and turns

I have the same 2012 Civic, same exact color with 275,000 on it. I bought it last April for $3k because of some front end damage. However mine gets about 38mpg but I know I can easily exceed that on a long interstate highway journey. I also have the original sticker when it was bought brand new. It claims the vehicle is capable of 46mpg. It was a 1 owner car and I love it. Best $3000 I've ever spent!!!

I have 162k on my 12 lx. Same hole in the driver’s floor mat too. The 2012’s are rather unique, one year style pre face lift.

I found a 2012 Civic LX 5 speed in good condition. 88k miles with good owners. The biggest service was a clutch replacement in 2020. Biggest cosmetic issue is it may need a new paint job. Had a small fender bender bumper but only cosmetic. Drives and shifts into every gear with no grinds or pops. Clean fully stock everything. They wanted $8300 and got them to go to $7500 due to the paint. One side of the hood line looks a little off compared to the other side. Clean carfax but that only shows what was reported. The current owners dont know if the previous owner had any accidents not reported. Thoughts anyone???

I found this car at used car Lott for $8,400 and I was doing research to see if it’s worth and you just hooked me on to it. I look forward to buying this when I get my license in a week

Wrong info, the 8th gen Civic had a 5-speed automatic. It was carried over for 2012 and 2013 before Honda switched the Civic to CVT.

130k on my 2012 lx. Zero problems and running like a clock.

had my 2012 for 6 years now. 90k miles. Repairs i've done... replaced one caliper (cracked piston from when i had to slam on my brakes at -50c), air intake hose cracked, regular maintenance, parking brake sticking issues(rust) Soon will need front struts Can't really complain

Looks like a great car! I’m from the Uk, over here we have a hatchback version of the civic, I own a 2013 mk9 civic and to me it’s funny when you call this car ‘small’, the hatchback civic is seen as a moderate size over here :)

i have a 2006 honda civic. bought it 4 yrs ago. havent failed at all!! im going to upgrade soon. will def be a honda!

My 2009 has been pretty amazing but I do like the 2012.

Plain, simple and nice... it makes so much sense 👏

ITS A HONDA! 😂 Love it

I loved this review, you finally convinced me on the Honda

Awesome review, hope your channel gets bigger

I just bought one with this same color, 174k miles for $6000, maybe not the best deal, but prices are high right now and these are reliable. Kelly blue book had it valued with an average price of $6500. Only using it as my A to B car while I’m in college and then I’ll upgrade when I graduate and get a job. Or maybe I’ll still keep it later, who knows.

I have this car , and it’s 110K km , and shift like dream . Only problem that I have it’s very low and it drags on snow and damaged the bottom plate all the time . So far I replace 2 plates and 3rd is already due . Other than that it’s really good car

Hey .. that's my car 🤔🧐

Great Video easy to understand.. I'm definitely looking for honda to purchase

Got it for 7500 CAD with 108,000 Kms!!

I am getting the exact same car and would love your advice on accessories and cost of regular maintenance please if you don't mind... :) Loved the Vid Bro... Keep going...

Got the same car. Really good car but I got bunch of things modified

Same car 🚙 178k miles never broke down 36.7mpg on the dash i once fit a lawn mower in it 10/10

Great review ..how do you find the passing power and merging on the highway?

Got mine in 2020 for Christmas from my family love it

2:33 "average fuel mileage 26.6mpg" Finally, someone else drives their 2012 civic harder than I do! (I bought the 5-speed manual so I'm required to flog it) It's the modern-day version of a 1980s Volvo. Regular maintenance and it'll last forever... except maybe the pins that hold the bumpers on.

I found one that needs paint work for 3k...It has 120k miles, 1 owner, and clean interior. Think it's worth it?

You did an excellent job .Thank you. Very informative

So far so good 👍 since I bought it. Oil changes and brakes and is good to go. Every American car i have owned was in the shop every 2 weeks so honda is the way to go

I got one myself a few months back it’s a great daily driver, but I’m skeptical about modding because of the r18 engine

I think this is what I’m going to get for my son

I just bought one civic 2012. Let's see what happen 👀 🤔 Will be updating

Great review, very helpful. Thank you!

2013 was the best of 9th gen. Which is rarer: 2013 LX or 2012 LX?

4:27 istg i be doin shit like that😂😂😂

I have a 2015 LX. It's reliable indeed, but I've definitely turned it more colorful than oem.

So nice this is what I was looking for I am so greatful

I just found a dealership 2012 coupe 5spd with 33k mi for $15k. It's my favorite car yet even tho it's been less than a week. Looking forward to some years with it

I am looking to possibly purchase one tomorrow. I think around same mileage. I feel so much better now. Mine will have leather and the navigation. I was nervous about the mileage. Did you get an extended warranty? Should I get an inspection first? I have the car fax. It is a really clean car physically.

Getting this car handed down from my brother, woo

im 16 i need a quick car that isnt too ugly but this too expensive at the moment, I'm buying it myself, I want a 2013 civic as my second car

ive been using this car since 2016 for pizza delivery and i never got engine problem. its always tires and oil that i spend money on never engine parts

Great review dude🔰🕹🇯🇵

What’s your take on a 2013 civic, and what model? Example, is the si reliable and if not what should I get? I’m torn between a civic and a Corolla 2012. Over all it’s between these two and I have zero idea idea what models are best and most reliable for both? For me it comes down to reliability and resale value. What’s the best?

Be aware you will need cvt transmission pressure switches. They fail a lot. Starters also fail. But otherwise very good car.

Going to Tulsa OK, to purchase an Ex with 107xxx miles on it. I love Hondas!!

Getting my son first vehicle hopefully he like it

How do I know what body/interior style a 2012 Honda Civic 1.8 LTR just like this one is? Some folks may say, DUHH, it says LX right there in the heading of this video. They may be right, but when you go to buy parts for any car you better make sure 100% you know what part it is, and the style of these vehicle's are. We have all the same features of your car, and it's a 2012 with only 57,000 miles on it. So now we are going across country, and want to make sure everything as far as Battery, Alternator, Tires, ETC are in order, and we can cruise the country with no worry's at all. We always carry the basic tools and emergency equipment with us when we hit the road, but firestone has called this vehicle a DX, and a LX, on tires and regular maintenance 2x's. Are car has the clothe interior, with power windows, ABS braking system, power locks, power trunk via the key fob. I got into it the other day, and left the hazard lights on for about 45 minutes and when we were ready to go the car wouldn't start. I had it checked by 3 auto parts store and they all said everything is fine. I left the car sitting for 4 days and went out there and it started right up. But Being a elder statesman i know you should be able to leave the hazard lights on for hours without it draining the battery. I left it sitting again for 3 or 4 days driving my Truck, and went out and the 2012 Honda started right up. So as a Honda civic lover for just the fuel savings, we now have are first ever doubts about this car. It sounds crazy but it's the honest to gods truth. I been told so many things like, oh, sometimes it will do that. Well on a cross country trip in a 2012 Honda civic probably a LX I am not so sure now. The moral to my comment is, If anyone knows why this would happen we would appreciate any knowledge you may have. We bought this car in 2013, and have never had 1 issue with it. Thanks for the video, and may God Bless us all.

i searched up "2012 honda civic" just because i was curious how it looks like now this got in my recommended i feel unsafe

Buying this car tomorrow(October 17 , 2023) for $9k… that might sound like a lot for the age but it only has 54k miles on it! Looks like it came out the lot , inside and out.. Did I make the right choice?

i got a 2012 honda civic EX. Its got leather seats, and we got 40 mpg on it without drafting. Its a beast

This thing can still whip no doubt

Not to be a downer, but the 12 Civic is known as the one and only year Honda made a big mistake. If you know anything about Civic history, there was such a huge outcry from the public when this car came out. It was because of the poor quality of materials Honda chose to use on the interior components, especially the "rice paper" dash. Honda was so inundated with complaints that they quickly had their engineers redo the car for the 2013 model year. You will notice that the 2013-2015 Civics look very different in terms of interior materials and they also have different front and rear end styling. Very dependable cars, however. I used to own a 2014 Civic LX.

With proper oil changes and maintenance these cars can easily see 300K...a FACT.

Need advice anyone please??? I can't decide between a 2012 Scion Tc auto, 120k miles or a 2012 Honda Civic LX w Manual Transmission, 88k miles. I like the idea of a Honda with lower mileage even though it's slow and not sporty look. The Tc is faster as far as hp goes and looks better than the Civic LX but the 2 doors might make car insurance higher. I just want a fun daily, driver car and yes, I considered a Civic Si but they're out of my budget and most are high mileage or heavily modded. Let me know your thoughts??? Thx

Hi everyone can anyone please suggest me should i buy this car or 2012 mazda 3 sp20 hatchback SkyActiv model? Which one is better at fuel consumption? Please reply.

I’m thinking of buying one.. it has 230k miles on it though and the owner says it runs great. How many miles do you think it has left?

I just got exactly this car for 1 month. I got 1 problem about the acceleration. I feel it has a slight hesitation when reaching 20km/h, feel like changing gears. It has no problem above 50km/h.

GREAT VIDEO!

Where to see the engine temperature gauge and how to read it?

I know what you mean. I love my 2011 Civic lx manual

08 Honda fit sport has 5 speed automatic transmission I was getting 37-38 MPGs with no Eco button!

Seen one at 125K miles for $5900, is it worth it?

What year should not buy for a Honda Civic I’m looking around

Just bought one today

Hola buenas, estoy pensado en comprar un HONDA Civic 2.2 iDTEC Executive diesel, pero mido 1.85 y soy bastante corpulento, estare comodo en el coche? y es fiable este coche?

I am really hoping to find a manual version of this car.

Nice planning to buy 9th gen for daily

Please help im between honda civic 2012 and 2013 i love the interior of honda civic 2012 but i don't know

Civic is civic man

Do you think one with 126k miles for $5,500 is a good deal?
