2013 Honda Civic

2013 Honda Civic Coupe Review After a lukewarm reception to the 2012 model, Honda came back strong with the 2013 Civic Coupe - refining its design, upgrading interior quality, and addressing concerns that both critics and fans had the year before. The result? A sleek, reliable, and efficient compact coupe that feels more premium than its price tag suggests. Performance The 2013 Civic Coupe comes with a 1.8-liter 4-cylinder engine making 140 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. It's not a sports car by any means, but it offers smooth acceleration, responsive handling, and an overall comfortable ride. Steering is nicely weighted, and cornering is confident for a front-wheel-drive compact. Fuel Economy Fuel efficiency is a strong suit, with EPA ratings around 28 mpg city / 39 mpg highway with the automatic transmission - making it a solid daily driver for commuters and students alike. Interior & Features One of the biggest upgrades over the previous year is the interior. The 2013 Civic Coupe received better materials, a more refined dash layout, and improved noise insulation. It's still a compact car, so rear seat space is a bit tight, but the front is roomy and supportive, even on longer drives. Standard features include: Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming Rearview camera USB/iPod input Steering wheel controls 5-inch central display screen Higher trims like the EX and EX-L add a power sunroof, premium audio system, leather seats, and available navigation. Driving Experience This Civic is a breeze to drive. It feels nimble around town and stable on the highway. Ride quality is smooth for its size class, and the coupe styling adds a little sporty flair compared to the sedan, even if the performance remains similar. Reliability & Safety As expected from Honda, the 2013 Civic Coupe is exceptionally reliable, with low maintenance costs and strong resale value. It also earned Top Safety Pick status from the IIHS and high ratings from the NHTSA. Standard safety gear includes: Anti-lock brakes Stability and traction control Front, side, and curtain airbags
