**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.

Interior is very nice, but you can see little things here and there that are typical civic and have a cheaper feel. Handles like a slot car, crisp and responsive steering. You can definitely feel the turbo pushing that 1.5 when you romp on it. Gorgeous design, love the rear center mount pipes. Rear visibility a little hindered, but that backup cam mitigates that. I absolutely love it. Enough to get it in black in the desert ;)

A very well equipped vehicle vs. a similar priced Acura ILX. No issues at all. CVT is even nice. Nice utility, mileage and looks.
