Driving Experience

The 2014 Civic LX with CVT offers a smooth and efficient driving experience. Its steering is light and predictable; the ride is composed rather than sporty. Fuel efficiency is a major strength. The CVT helps keep the engine in efficient ranges, making it well-suited for commuting and daily driving. One caveat: buyers should check maintenance history, especially for the CVT, as transmissions of this type can require careful upkeep. For example:

“Just beware, those tend to go out way before the engine (not always, but usually)… especially if not changed CVT fluid every 2 years.” Reddit
