Really? Are you sure about that? You might want to read the 2012 and 2013 reviews and compare. The 2012 was a disappointment in the industry with poor plastics on the interior and uneven lines. The flaws with the 2012 model were all fixed with the 2013 model. I almost bought a 2012 and glad I waited for the 2013. The 2012 dash looks awful with a large slab of plastic laying in front of it. The 2013 removed that design with cleaner lines and all flush with the rest of the interior.
I don't know about that!
Except for maybe about the plastics (of which rattles bother the heck out of me, but those same rattles hit Acuras too!), I prefer the 2012 over the 2013 easily!
As a (former) 1997 and 2012 Civic owner, I prefer both over the 2013! The 2013 is a much uglier car, with too much chrome, bad looking lights, and that stupid antenna on the back for whatever reason.
I will admit, however, that I intend to replace my deck with a higher end one with built-in navigation and stuff, including eyes-free Siri support! And some big-ass subs and stuff, of course! =P
How's about Honda work with Apple to custom install iPad minis in the dash at a factory level. Apple need a program like that. Where the UI is handled in-house by Apple, but that'll never happen.
When you take the iPad out, the car is bricked so it can't be stollen

Why don't you google some reviews and learn that the 2012 was panned by reviewers and the 2013 fixed all the flaws. Since you think the 2013 is uglier with more chrome, you must have a sedan. The coupe doesn't have any of the exterior chrome. The coupe looks far better than the sedan, so I can understand that. That is probably why you don't like it. The stupid antenna that you have no clue about, is for XM radio. I am sure you know that all cars with satellite radio have the small fin antenna on the roof. Civics with Navi are the only models that come with XM standard, and have the small fin antenna on the roof. If you are referring to the "short stick" antenna on the roof, those are only on the CNG models. All other models, like your own, do not have the fin antenna.
The dash of the 2012 was deemed cheap looking with the huge plastic slab on the front that sticks out. The 2013 fixed that problem with a much sleeker looking dash by removing the slab of plastic. The line on top of the dash separating the passenger airbag and upper gauge package has been removed on the 2013. Here are the differences, 2012 then 2013:
The 2014 has the same dash as the 2013, shown in the article, but with the new updated stereo on the high end model. The i-Mid screen is still shown in the 2014 photo, but it is not displaying any content. I love the i-Mid screen for both XM content and iPod content (especially album artwork from an iPod).
I will never understand why people flock to Apple devices. Android is so much more powerful, and affordable. Apple only allows you to do what they want you to do, like sheep. It is sad really.
Honda needs to open this up to Google or Microsoft, and leave the sheep to their overpriced shiny little devices.

Not messing with controls while driving (because it’s not legal in the first place and outside the SOP of all vehicles) is safer.
Sorry, but if Bieber or his ilk come on the radio, there's no way on earth I can wait until I stop before I get rid...
