2023 Honda Civic Review

Name: 2023 Honda Civic Review
Brand: Honda

Price Range: $20,499 - $31,990

The 2023 Honda Civic is one of the best small cars you can buy. It's enjoyable to drive and gets excellent gas mileage. It's also comfortable, though sometimes it can seem a little loud on the highway. But overall we highly recommend the Civic for small sedan or hatchback shoppers.

2023 Honda Civic Sport Touring 4dr Hatchback (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I have been driving my 2023 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring for two years now, and still love the car. On the paper, Honda Civic seems more expensive than its rivals, says Toyota Corolla, Mazda 3, Kia Forte, Hyundai Elantra, etc. It lacks a few features found in competitors (AWD, Hybrid, 360 Camera, Seat, etc.). However, you get more than you think in terms of practicality, …

Sporty & Fun!

2023 Honda Civic EX 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

It's a great car that handles well and has ample power. I love the smoothness and acceleration I get from the 1.5T engine and CVT transmission. Gas mileage is incredible. I usually get an average mpg in the mid 40's on the highway and on road trips. Lots of nice features and tech such as a sunroof, dual climate, remote start, heated seats, heated side mirrors, apple carplay, and blind …

Gorgeous car

2023 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M)

This is my 3rd civic. I traded my 2018 civic ex for a 2023 civic sport. I love the look of this car. It’s a blast to drive and handles amazing. I hate the seat. No matter what I do I can’t get comfortable which was never a problem in my last one. The lane assist is annoying, I turned it off. I would think it’s a good option for someone who is looking at their phone when they shouldn’t …

2023 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)

Since I have occasional lower lumbar back issues, I was hesitant as there is no lumbar option on the 2023 Honda Civic Touring. So far, the gray leather seats are perfect and I am not experiencing any back issues. Before test driving this car, I thought the 1.5 Turbo engine & CVT transmission would not be sufficient but they pleasantly surprised me when entering the interstate highway. I …
