Sporty and fun to drive

Have owned several Hondas and been very pleased with each one, including the 2020 Civic Ex Hatchback we just purchased. It's sporty and fun to drive. Particularly like the options of driving in economy mode, for increased mpg, or sport mode where you can feel the increased torque and hear the turbo come to life while the engine gently roars! Easy entry/exit with a sporty, yet comfortable cabin. Great technology, including the brake hold, adaptive cruise control and lane keep assistance.

Pretty good gas milage, I get around 40mpg combined. Honda sensing, adaptive cruise control, I use it a lot. Big cargo area. No apple car play. No big scree. Camera is ok but not that great quality. Turbocharged. Visibility is not that good but it will do. Pretty good car so far no major complains.

Great car but needed it to last more then 2000km

Loved all the features but something about a car that dies in less than a year just after hitting 2000km, leaves me thinking reliability and civics don't go together any more. Also being a day since that happened it be nice if their customer service would answer or email or let me know any sort of details what so ever, but nothing.

My little silver skittle!

I leased my 2020 Honda Civic to avoid giving up another asset during a nasty divorce. I had never driven anything remotely new. I can honestly say this car has been everything I wanted, and I am purchasing my lease this weekend. From the roomy HB (I fit a small frame woman's mountain bike in the trunk) to the handling (talk about pulling a U-turn on a DIME) to the Apple CarPlay to its turbo, I thoroughly enjoyed driving this car. I previously owned Volvos but always wanted a Honda Accord. Volvos were substantial and lasted 250k + miles but very expensive to fix and maintain. I read many reviews and compared cars before leasing and figured, why not try the Civic HB? I was impressed by the price point for what it came with and how it drove per the reviews. Oddly enough, my Volvo had been insured by my ex husband, so I couldn't even test drive it to see how it drove before signing the lease. But I knew it was the right car for me. The gas mileage is exactly as advertised ... I get 34.2 mpg but drive like a bat out of hell. It brakes excellent (I know ... I had Brembos on my Volvo V60R), has tons of room, very sporty handling. I just can't say enough about the car. I watch racing and even started cheering on the Honda teams! Very appreciative I have been able to drive such a great car. Only issue I have had is that the driver's window sticks when it's humid, but I asked the dealer to take a look before I sign purchase agreement. I can't wait to get it tinted. Definitely buy seat covers if you get the beige cloth ... especially if you adventure with it and put a kayak on top like I do! Hope my review helps you make an informed decision.

Smooth driving. The way it turns in a tight space is AMAZING. It's got wonderful getty-up and go. Fun, fun, fun, so fun, did you hear me say fun? to drive. Yes, that much fun. I've never had a hatchback before, wasn't too sure about it but YES, Love. Buy one. So much fun to drive.
