That's strange because everything I've seen on it has been very positive
every single review I've read on that refresh has been negative.

Ok?
We're reading different things. Let's leave it at that then.
Every review I've read on it has been something like, "It's an improvement from the '12, which was one of the worst new cars we've driven in a long time."
I think we're on the same page, C4L, we just look for slightly different things when shopping.
McQueen... on the money with whole foods, sketchy farmers markets = awesome produce for cheap. Everything else, I get at Aldi and Walmart Super Center. I can deal with a bad shopping experience once or twice a month to save like $150/month.

Yeah, they recognized the flop of the first refresh of the Civic and updated it again rather quickly to address the issue.
Not saying that you don't save that much from Whole Foods or something but try comparing the cost between Aldi/Walmart with say Target or Kroger or whatever large local grocer you have.
I use to shop at Walmart SOME in college because I thought it was cheaper (because they told me it was and the store made me feel like it should be) and then started going to Target and Meijer (large local grocer) and Kroger and found the prices to be nearly the same on nearly the same goods from a much nicer store. As such, I haven't been in a Walmart in years. Never been to Aldi...
They convince you it is cheaper because they explicitly tell you that it is and their stores make you feel like it should be cheaper. Whole Foods is expensive but you get higher quality goods. Whether you value them or not.
Plus Aldi is German
Target is similarly priced and nicer, but the selection is really lacking. I don't know if it's the particualr Target near me or all of their stores, but the Walmart has an entire grocery store and Target's is a small section with very limited produce and meats and limited brands for other products.
Aldi is just way cheaper than anything else, period. They also have a somewhat small selection though.
Our "regurlar" food chain is Harris Teeter, which is definitely pricier than the Walmart/Target contingent. We also have Food Lion, Bi-Lo and some others, but none close by. They're starting to put Publix markets here, we'll see how that goes.
