Pre-Owned 2013 Honda Civic Coupe EX in Dallas, TX

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.
