2012 Honda Civic slow acceleration?
Last Sunday I bought a 2012 Honda Civic LX Coupe. My first car that I'm financing all on my own and I love it, but I've noticed that it seems a little slow to accelerate. My last car was an '03 Accord with a V6 and I'm not sure if I'm just still used to driving a car that's so fast or if I should be concerned. Everything besides that runs perfectly, its just that one thing. Has anyone else experienced this or know anything about it?
V6 Accord is pretty fast. I expect you will just have to lower your standards.
You went from a V6 to an inline 4. Not nearly as peppy.
(1) Make sure the brakes aren't dragging or the emergency brake isn't partially on or something.
(2) The 2003 Accord could accelerate 0-60 in just over 6.1 seconds and quarter mile in 14.3 if you really put your foot down. The 2012 Civic LX is listed as being 7.8 seconds, quarter mile in 16.1
(3) This is not a huge difference for someone who drives conservatively. Only a lead-foot would notice it. I'd say you should probably lay off the caffeine a bit.
Your 2003 Accord with a 240 H.P. V6 is naturally going to be much quicker that this Civic with a 140 H.P. 4 cylinder. Get used to it as that is just the way it is.
- How to slow down the idle on a 88 honda crx si? I recently put a motor in a 88 honda crx SI the person I bought it from took the original motor out to put a bigger one in but never did.

- My Honda Civic keeps overheating and accelerates very slow? I have Honda Civic 98 EX coupe, and it overheats very quick, i replaced a leaking hose, i got the headgasket replaced, a new thermostate and it still overheats, the car also doesn't accelerate at the rate it should, i could have my foot flooring the gas pedal but it will take forever to eve reach 60 mph.
- Bought a 2006 Honda Civic ex about a month ago, the check engine light came on and it was throwing code p0133 o2 sensor slow response? Bank 1 sensor 1. Now I checked again and it's a P0171 code as we'll System Too Lean Bank 1 . My friend looked at it and said it's my oxygen sensor. Could that be the reason, and is that way it threw the other code as well? The car runs pretty good, does guzzle has a little.
