This car has been my daily driver during the hot Miami summer. We've been a Honda family with an earlier Civic, Accords, CRV and an Acura RSX over the years. This is my first CVT and that took some getting used to, and it has a few times downshifted very roughly and felt jarring when in the worst stop-and-go traffic. Otherwise the ride is smooth. I mostly drive in ECO mode unless going on the highway or if I need full A/C. The A/C has done the job, though barely at times, and the climate control UI is one of the worst things about this vehicle, requiring a physical button to access a special touchscreen interface. Tinting this hatchback added some extra cost due to the spoiler placement. At this trim level, the electronics package, voice recognition and integration into the dash are excellent. I use Android Auto with Waze and Google Play Music. Android Auto is easy to control with voice commands and the touchscreen UI replaces the mediocre Honda UI. Integration is seamless as Waze adds dash directions under the speedometer and dims your audio to give alerts. The built-in Navi works fine but isn't nearly as practical, it lacks the real-time updates from a social app like Waze and can lead you right into a traffic jam. As for audio, the low end felt weak and I added a 10'' subwoofer in the trunk, an amp and a sub volume control knob using an unoccupied panel to the left of the steering wheel. The rest of the sound system holds up fine and the interior doesn't rattle from bass. I also swapped the headlights and interior bulbs with LEDs, which I highly recommend for night visibility. The back seat fits my two child seats just fine, though you'll have to duck a bit to actually strap kids in, and you'll want a cover for the back of your front seats from those little feet. Overall this is a great car that I plan to keep for a long time.

Have had the car for less than a month but, I am impressed with it's acceleration & responsivness. Car holds the road very well. Electronics are nice but not spectacular,(everything works fine but I am not crazy about the volume control for the radio), other than that, I am very happy with it's performance & looks.

This is the latest Civic Si, I've owned a 1985, and a 2002. I traded in my 2016 Accord coupe for this. So happy I did! Amazing value, nice bells and whistles, but it's still a civic. In the 17000+ miles I've gone, I'm getting 34-35 mpg! Not too powerful, but Sporty and Very Fun to drive!

Comfortable, turbo w stick has lots of get up and go. Entertainment system ill thought out...could use a few hard buttons and knobs. (After a year) Still a great car with lots of spunk. Entertainment system sounds great but LED button control system that is hard to find while driving & lags "sucks."

2017 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

The touring is a great little car, for the short time I have had it. The only thing I don't like is with the all touch panel it is not easy to change the volume of the radio without inadvertently changing something else.

I have leased Hondas since 2004 using 3 different dealerships. I was torn between the CRV, Accord Sport, and the Civic EXT. Boy, did I make the right choice. For starters I am 6'4, and for anyone questioning the roominess, don't. There is plenty. This model is a head turner. I have had more people ask me about this car more than any other I've purchased. I look forward to the next 3 years side. And a side note, dealing with Keeler Honda and Adam Dorn was the best car buying experience I have ever had.

Car runs phenomenally, very smooth. Everything about the car is just awesome. Reaction time is on point. Breaking and accelerating is very smooth. I wouldn't say acceleration is fast though. My family also owns a Toyota Camry and sadly the Toyota can accelerate faster. Not to much has happened. The screen has experienced some problems 2 months into me having the car. The screen would turn off and on then freeze on me. When i contacted the dealership that i bought my car from, they were very friendly and willing to replace the screen. Before i got the change to replace it though, it seemed to work completely fine again so i didn't replace it.

**Please read updates on the bottom* Coming from an old 2003 Civic manual 5 speed, it feels a bit weird to drive the new CVT. It almost feels like the engine has to catch (maybe it is the eco..not sure) as if I am driving manual. So the acceleration feels a bit lumpy sometimes as if the car has to lurch randomly, but very subtly. The electronics are good. I notice a bit of lag from time to time, but other than that - it's a great addition to the car for long commutes. When I bought my car brand new, there was an issue with my trunk. I opened it, and after shutting it closed, it would not stay shut. It would continually pop open on its own and beep twice. I noticed the bottom part of the trunk weather strip was bent and distorted. I forcefully had to shut it in order for it to stay - and be mindful not to use it until I went to the dealer to have it repaired (5 hours total.) 2 hours for diagnosis, then another 3 hours another day for them to replace it :( but I still love my car. Feels fast, fun to drive, and lovely to look at. I wish they put more care into the interior of the seats and console - as once you put your arm down, it leaves white residue so that will definitely wear down quickly over the years. My other issue was I opened my trunk to inspect my car on the first night home and there were razer blades on the top of some parts. I figure that's more the dealerships wrongdoing. They admitted they use it to cut the tape and various parts off and forgotten them there. Nervous that they could've had more that have fallen into the parts of the car...but so far it seems fine. The steering wheel makes a faint click click click noise when you turn it all the way. Not sure what that is - but it does not affect the way it drives. Overall, love the new car. Going to go the extra mile to be careful with the interior because I feel like it will definitely wear down quickly. Everything else is great - feels spacious and plenty of room to get in and out. Trunk space is huge. Love the details on the headlights and tail lights and the storage space in the middle console ! =) Update on my review:. The cloth parts of the interior get white from being worn or having skin on it. Also, the exterior of the doors smudge easily just with fingerprints from touching the door frame. Nothing much else has changed. 2nd Update: (3/16/2020): In comparison to driving my friend's touring civic hatchback, his is smooth, -- my civic is jerky, especially on inclines (hills). My car has died two times completely not even starting. I had to take it to the dealership for: starter. I had to replace it completely - luckily it was under warranty. 2nd issue was probably a recall defect. Not sure but I put my e-brake on, and then after parking car and starting, the e brake kept flashing, the lights all flashed on and off and the car would not start. Eventually no lights were on, the car would not even catch or click when trying to start - completely dead. After 3 jump starts, it finally worked -- but battery may be cheap. I take good care of my car and routinely maintain it. Unfortunate, but I am probably going to sell it because too many issues are arising for it being a fairly new car.

Fun car to drive. We have gotten many compliments on its looks. Stock tires suck in the snow. I don't like the center console and I wish there was a light in the glove box. The touch screen interface is horrendous. The nav system stinks. It often looses location. I still use it, but also have use my phone because I don't trust the nav. And there are other annoying things about the touch screen that make me realize Honda knows nothing about usability. Sitting in the passenger seat is like sitting in a hole. Update: Have driven the car for almost two years now. 30k miles. Will be putting new tires on soon. No mechanical issues. Fit and finish are still solid. My major complaint about the car is still the reliability of the nav system.
