Daily use and speedy honda civic 2018 1.5 turbocha

I bought this car about two months ago and its been great. Turbocharged engine is pretty fast, in fact faster than a subru brz factory tuned. Economically its pretty reasonable as well, fuel efficient, and service cost as well. Road handling is also great, the only thing that didn’t meet my expectations is when I go fast on a curved road but again its not a sports car so its understandable. Overall I would give the car 95%. Great car if you are looking for a fun daily use car.

Just purchased my first Honda Civic, and I am not disappointed. What a fun car to drive. I wanted a small car to run around in that would get good gas mileage around town and it’s been getting 34-35 mpg. My only issue is that I wish the air conditioner would get colder without having the blower up high, but it’s a minor annoyance. Smooth ride, great cockpit design and the exterior design makes it look fast just sitting still. All in all a wonderful fun car to drive. Update: owned it now for almost 2 yrs and I still love this car! I would buy it for myself again! The gas mileage is still fantastic and it’s still a head turner on the road.

The Hatchback Sport totally rocks

Love my new 2018 Civic Hatchback Sport! I had previously purchased a 2015 Civic EX with leather and a navigation system after trading in a 2004 Accord. I liked that car and it had basically every upgrade including a sunroof, leather seats, nice stereo, etc. I expected to keep it for 10 or more years. Since then, Honda has really done a lot with the Civic line. The 2018 Civic Sport Hatchback is a beautiful vehicle. Make no mistake, my 2015 Civic sedan was drab by comparison. So the Sport hatchback not only looks great -- if it didn't have the Honda logo you would swear it was a BMW or Mercedes perhaps -- It drives like a sports car. It is much faster than the 2015 due to the turbo engine, and the wheels and suspension definitely give it a sports car feel when cornering. The "cockpit" has a much better overall look than the 2015, again reminds you of a BMW. The seats are pretty darn nice though I "downgraded" from leather in my 2015 -- they look great and I think they will last very well. Nice touches include one of the cooler, more sporty looking dual exhausts around, and of course the 18 inch wheels look and perform great. All in all, it to me is a huge upgrade from my 2015 Civic, which was a really nice car. It cost me $10.2K to trade in at this point, which hurts a bit, but no regrets. The car that I have now has a sticker price $2000 less than the sticker price of the 2015 Civic, which seems odd in a way. It looks great in black, by the way.

I Love My New Civic

This is my second Civic of this new design. I just turn in my Civic EX Sedan and was so impressed that I now have a Civic Hatchback Sport Turing. I think this is the near perfect car for me. I like the size, performance and styling and of course the Honda reliability. I had zero issues with the sedan in the two and a half years of ownership. I do not find the infotainment screen that difficult to use but, other makes my be better as stated in the review. I basically agree with the Edmund's review in the other areas and would not hesitate to highly recommend these Civics to anyone shopping for this type of car. It is a great value and fun to drive. For comparison, I also own a Honda S2000 so, I think that I know a little bit about driving fun. There are obvious differences but, I enjoy them both a lot.

Sporty and fun to drive

I agree with most of the reviewers that the Infotainment isn’t that great, slow to response, and lack of the Volume Control Know (this is VARY USEFUL when you need to quickly turn up or turn down the music). I’m not a fan of the red instruments gauges (Sport and Sport Touring model), I wish there was an option to change colors, but I’ll have to live with it. And there’s no overhead SUNGLASSES holder, theres other compartments, but still. Other than that, it’s a great car. Oh and I’m glad Honda brought back the sliding visor/sunshade, many people might not realize it, but it’s very useful feature.
