I have been driving my 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring for about a month now, and absolutely love the car. On the paper, Honda Civic seems more expensive than its rivals, says Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra, etc. It lacks a few features found in competitors (AWD, Hybrid, 360 Camera, Seat, etc.). However, you get more than you think in terms of practicality, usability, and versatility, many things cannot be told from the spec sheet alone. Civic is now getting very large, to the point that, you don't have to step up to a mid-size sedan (Camry or Accord) anymore (because it's big enough and can do everything!). The drivability blows Toyota Corolla away (esp, the hybrid model), Civic is way more fun to drive. The usability is better than both Corolla and Mazda3 (too small). You get Honda's reliability and better resale value than Kia and Hyundai. Civic also has the best visibility, the design is so open and airy. The Interior has great quality and isn't overly complicated, you get real tactile knobs and buttons everywhere. Some people complain about noise, yea I get it, but that's because the glass is so big, the body rigidity is enhanced, and the tires are also wider than others (235 in Sport/Touring/Sport-Touring). All of these account for your safety and handling. Honda cares more about practicality, things you use every day, things that make you safe, and things that make it a good car. In conclusion, the new 2023 Honda Civic is a great car. It can be your only car, your family car that carries 3-4 people (or your kids) around, or go for a long trip. The hatchback can even substitute a small SUV (CUV) for cargo space. The design is timeless, clean, and grown-up, you can drive this thing for 10 years and it doesn't feel old or outdated. If you want a good overall car, you care more about practicality, and can give up some features that you may use once a month (or a year!), this is your car. Honda Civic is one of the best cars you can get and you will not regret it.

It's a great car that handles well and has ample power. I love the smoothness and acceleration I get from the 1.5T engine and CVT transmission. Gas mileage is incredible. I usually get an average mpg in the mid 40's on the highway and on road trips. Lots of nice features and tech such as a sunroof, dual climate, remote start, heated seats, heated side mirrors, apple carplay, and blind spot monitoring. I find the seats to be comfortable. They aren't as bad as people make them out to be. My only complaints are the auto start/stop feature, which can't be permanently disabled, and the lack of power seats.

Since I have occasional lower lumbar back issues, I was hesitant as there is no lumbar option on the 2023 Honda Civic Touring. So far, the gray leather seats are perfect and I am not experiencing any back issues. Before test driving this car, I thought the 1.5 Turbo engine & CVT transmission would not be sufficient but they pleasantly surprised me when entering the interstate highway. I am very happy with the good city and exceptional highway mileage. Body panel fit & Meteorite Gray finish, gray leather seating / interior is nice. I would have given Honda a 5 stars but the following two points are worth mentioning. (1) The carpeting is very thin and Honda could have used more sound deadening insulation to quiet the interior on rough roads. (2) I was disappointed to learn a heated steering wheel is not included with the heated seats.

2023 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This is my 3rd civic. I traded my 2018 civic ex for a 2023 civic sport. I love the look of this car. It’s a blast to drive and handles amazing. I hate the seat. No matter what I do I can’t get comfortable which was never a problem in my last one. The lane assist is annoying, I turned it off. I would think it’s a good option for someone who is looking at their phone when they shouldn’t be. It doesn’t have Sirius radio which really bugs me. My ex had it but Honda only makes available in their touring model now. If I hadn’t been so focused on not getting a bad deal I would have caught this and kept my 2018. I had it installed which cost $$$ and because the system uses the USB port I can’t plug my phone in. There is only one USB port in the car. Stupid. If I want to use apple CarPlay I have to unplug Sirius so I can use the USB port. When it’s built it you can just switch sources. For the price of the car I just feel like Sirius and a better driver seat should be available. The inside is way quieter than my EX which is much appreciated.

I bought the 2023 Honda Civic Touring new after driving this and 2023 Accord Sport hybrid, the dynamics were similar but the new Accord Styling is definitely a miss, so I got this one. Not sure how the 1.5 turbo is going to hold over time but it is definitely satisfying to drive for the small displacement it is and my last car was a 2007 Honda Accord EXL V6. The downside is road noise at highway speeds and trashy Goodyear Eagle stock tires but aside from this, the handling, dynamics and fuel economy just a tad more than 40mpg when not exceeding 75mph is great.
