2018 Honda Civic Sport Touring 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

I have a hatchback sport 2018.. i just bought out the car after financing for 3 years… I have had more problems with the vehicle then times enjoying it… it’s almost as if it turned my disposition into an endless worry when it came to this car.. The car is almost 4 years old & I have had to change the low profile tires 15 times… living in New York with endless pot holes.. a vehicle with low profile tire settings is a no go! Also.. about a week ago.. my alternator blew and for a week now I’ve been searching endlessly to buy a replacement part… It is nowhere to be found because there is a backorder.. BUT NO RECALL ON IT.. Disgraceful.. Honda just wants to rob you with this car

The 10th gen Civic is a winner, as long as you avoid the base trim. At least the hatchback body style gets you the 1.5L turbo and a huge-feeling cabin with outstanding cargo capacity and fuel economy. That’s the extent of its benefits. Generally speaking this Civic is a great car to live with. Its ride comfort is excellent for a small car and it feels pretty roomy. The seats feel a tad low though, which when paired with a tall center console/armrest area and high beltline, might give claustrophobic people some pause. It’s a great chassis with controlled and agile handling, though steering is a bit numb. The punch from the 1.5L is lively, but turbo lag makes it feel a bit sluggish off the line sometimes. Passing power is more than adequate though. Visibility is ok, but the rising beltline and huge C pillars aren’t doing the car any favors. Over 3 years and 60k later and reliability has been 100% trouble free. It’s well established that the styling is polarizing. I like it. It’s a huge step forward and gives the car character is rarely has. This concept applies to both the exterior and interior. The beige/black interior combo on my car is ghastly, however. (I wanted a manual trans Sport trim, but couldn’t get one on short notice.) Styling is subjective of course, but what’s objective is the cheapness of this interior. Quite plasticky with F tier door cards. But nary a squeak or rattle to be found inside. As I said before, choose any trim other than the LX and this car is excellent. Later models in the generation did get standard Honda Sensing even with the 6-sp manual, if that helps.

Not all they're made out to be

We bought our 2018 civic 2 years ago and it's been in the shop about 8 times since than. They are usually little repairs but they always seem to slip out of honoring their warranty. Climate control is not good at all as well. If you want hot you get hot, if you want cold you get cold, but there is no in between. Windshield foggs up instantly if blower isn't on. And one more little thing, you'd think not having a volume knob would wouldn't be a big deal, but it is! Biggest thing is the unreliability though.
