Complaint Trends

When considering a 2023 Honda Civic, it’s important to research the other model years as well. This helps provide a broader perspective on a car model’s complaint history and potential issues.

Here are a few reasons why:
Understanding the car’s evolution: Car models can undergo significant changes from year to year, both in terms of design and functionality. This knowledge can help you better appreciate the car’s strengths and weaknesses and determine whether the specific year you are considering is the best buy.

Identifying recurring issues: Some car models have recurring issues that may not be apparent in a specific year. By researching the other model years, you can identify any recurring issues that the car may have and determine whether they have been resolved in the specific year you are considering. This knowledge can help you make an informed decision and avoid potential costly repairs down the line.

Overall, researching other Honda Civic years will help identify the model year with the lowest amount of high severity complaints, further ensuring a better car buying decision.

Timeline of Complaints

The timeline of complaints identifies how many problems owners reported with the 2023 Honda Civic while covered under the Bumper-to-Bumper and Powertrain warranties.

Seeing how many complaints have been filed for a car while it is still under warranty can be beneficial in several ways:

Indicates reliability: If a vehicle has a high volume of high severity complaints filed while still under warranty, it may indicate that the car is not reliable. This information can be valuable for a car shopper who is looking for a car that will be dependable and require minimal repairs.
Helps identify potential issues: By researching the complaints filed for a particular model, a car shopper can get an idea of the common issues that owners face with the vehicle.
Can influence warranty coverage negotiations: If you have a 2023 Honda Civic and your warranty claim for expensive repairs is rejected, having a record of similar complaints can increase your chances of getting the defect covered under warranty. In other words, documenting common issues with your vehicle could help you negotiate better warranty coverage.

Honda (America Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023 Civic, Acura RDX, Acura Integra, and 2022 Honda Accord vehicles. A ball valve in the vehicle stability assist (VSA) modulator may leak brake fluid, which can result in unintended vehicle movement when the brake hold feature is engaged or an unexpected increase in brake pedal travel.

EPA Reported Fuel Costs

To access the most up-to-date EPA-tested fuel costs for the 2023 Honda Civic, kindly make a selection below.

How the EPA Test Fuel Costs

Manufacturers test their own vehicles — usually pre-production prototypes and report the results to EPA. The EPA then reviews the results and confirms about 15%–20% of them through their own tests at the National Vehicles and Fuel Emissions Laboratory.

The EPA Testing Process

Vehicles are tested on dynamometers, which are like giant treadmills for cars. The vehicle is held stationary while its wheels spin the dyno’s large rollers. The EPA’s fuel-economy test has specific rules, such as a set volume of air that a fan must blow under the car’s raised hood. After a vehicle is strapped down on a dyno, the engineers adjust the amount of energy required to move the rollers to simulate real-world factors, such as wind, road friction and the vehicles weight.

On the dyno, a driver runs the vehicle through standardized driving routines called cycles or schedules. These cycles simulate “typical” trips in the city or on the highway. Each cycle specifies the speed the vehicle must travel during each second in the test.

Measuring Fuel Use

To measure for fuel use, vehicles using carbon-based fuels (e.g., gasoline, diesel, natural gas, etc.), a hose is connected to the tailpipe to collect the engine exhaust during the tests. The carbon in the exhaust is measured to calculate the amount of fuel burned during the test. This is more accurate than using a fuel gauge.

Measuring Fuel Use for Electric Vehicles

A EV vehicle with a fully charged battery is driven continuously over the EPA city cycle until the battery is depleted and the vehicle can drive no further. The distance driven is recorded. This is repeated, again starting with a full charge, over the EPA highway cycle, again recording the distance driven when the battery is depleted. This “single cycle” test consists of multiple repeat drives of the city or highway cycle.

All data is derived from vehicle testing done at EPA’s NVFEL facility, and by vehicle manufacturers who submit their test data to EPA for verification.

Based on 45% highway, 55% city driving, 15,000 annual miles and current fuel prices.
