2011 Honda Civic

Posted On: January 31, 2024

How Honda is reliable yet not flattering

Pros

Fuel efficiency, Easy for parking

Cons

Too small in size for a tall person, Old fashioned engine that has anti theft built in which isn’t practical when it drains the battery


Fuel efficiency is ok but all details are plastic like bumpers etc. I am disappointed with the old technology that Honda has applied to this vehicle . It’s a very reliable vehicle yet the alarm system built into the vehicle or key drains the battery and it’s overkill. I am not impressed with the brand at all .

Buying Advice


The EX-L trim is the best one as it justifies its expense with the best touches of leatherette and enhanced comfort with heated seats among its sibling. The available options are also impressive including the navigation system. And the standard 140 hp thrust means equal flooring along with higher economy than the lower trims.

Engine and Performance
8.5/10


The 2011 Honda Civic gets a 1.8 L I-4 engine that prodiuces 140 hp and 128 lb-ft of torque. It is mated with a 5-speed manual for DX, DX-VP, LX, LX-S, and EX. While the 5-speed automatic one is there for everyone in a standard FWD layout.

In terms of driving experience, the Honda Civic can be described as perky yet refined. However, one can't expect a well-insulated cabin that keeps the undulation isolated from the passengers despite having a smooth revving and gear shifts.

The 2011 Civic has no official 0-60 MPH and quarter-mile timing as such but the 10.3-inch front vented disc and 7.9-inch rear drum brakes maintains its braking efficiency. And so do the ABS and brake assist in their own rights.

Interior
8.2/10


"Everything works wonderfully, but the design, textures and materials put its visual appeal in the bottom half of the segment." - Kelley Blue Book

Better-than-average front seats in the 2011 Honda Civic afford good support and a great driving position, helping in decent ergonomics. Even in base cars, the height-adjustable seats leave great headroom for tall drivers, though the seat cushions themselves are a bit short and drivers should make sure their knee doesn't rest against the hard handbrake lever.

 The Civic's dash features an unusual gauge layout. An analog tachometer is in the traditional location behind the steering wheel, but a digital speedometer and gas gauge reside at the base of the windshield. Some of our editors find the two-tier display distracting, though others say it makes quick visual checks of speed easier.

Exterior

The current-generation 2011 Honda Civic looked pretty far-out when it was first introduced, five years ago, but it turned out to be a trend-setter. And its automatic on/off headlights on front keep your vision straight and undistracted

Dashing in style on the 15-inch steel/alloy, 16-inch steel/alloy, and 17-inch alloy wheels, the Honda Civic appears like any typical sedan. One can even notice a power moonroof on top for high-end trims as their exterior ornaments.
