Honda Civic 9th Generation

2012–2015 · FB/FG · sedan

The 9th-gen Civic launched 2012 to harsh reviews citing cheap interior plastics and weak sound insulation. Honda responded fast with a substantial 2013 refresh: new front fascia, redesigned hood, reworked rear, better interior materials. Sedan (FB) and coupe (FG3/FG4) sold in the US. No hatchback for the US market this gen. R18Z 1.8L volume engine, K24Z7 2.4L on the Si.

Watch out: Driveshaft retaining-clip recall on early 2012 cars covered roughly 50,000 vehicles. Cosmetic and interior-quality complaints on pre-refresh 2012 cars push buyers toward 2013-2015 examples.
