2013 HONDA CIVIC
This model year
What the record shows
The 2013 Honda Civic is a compact car, and the 35th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1979 to 2027.
The EPA rated three configurations: engines from 1.8-litre four-cylinder to 2.4-litre four-cylinder, front-wheel drive only, three transmissions and running on premium gasoline and regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 25 to 32 mpg depending on which one you have.
NHTSA's best overall crash rating for this model year is 5 out of five stars.
The federal record holds 319 owner complaints and 55 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
