This is a fantastic commuter car. I drive 130 miles a day round trip, five days a week for work. I have gotten up to 42.5 miles per gallon on the highway and my average is 37.5 miles per gallon for an entire take of gas. I do a lot of high traffic driving in the Washington DC area, so this kind of mileage is great! The car handles great and is pretty comfortable for its size and class. Bang for the buck, you really can't go wrong. Yes, there are cars on the market that get better mileage, but Honda's long term reliability is hard to beat.
Having done commuting and long road trips I can say without absolute confidence that I love this car. My 2012 Honda Civic EX-L is fuel efficient, sporty, has enough power to get off an exit ramp or into traffic. It has enough storage to fit enough luggage for a beach or camping trip. The stereo sounds great. I'm 6'1" and I have no issues with legroom. My son hasn't complained once about comfort in the back seat while on those long car rides.
This car has gotten over 43 miles to the gallon in some instances. It has just enough power to do what you need. The car is fairly technologically advanced. The speedometer is digital and has a display that indicates what song is playing. Additionally the car is fitted with Bluetooth, a USB plug in and has a CD player. Fairly reliable. Have had no issues with the vehicle so far. However there are downfalls. I am 6 foot 3 inches. I could not fit in the Honda Civic EX model because of the sunroof. I am still a bit cramped in the LX model but it's nothing you can't get used to. Additionally after about four hours of continuous driving the seats become almost unbearable to sit in.
