2023 Honda Civic Sport pro's 1.) The engine (K20C2) it is the most reliable 4 cyl on the market right now! 2.) Gets above average gas mileage 34.5mpg in the city & 37mpg on the highway! 3.) ease of DIY maintenance and cheap replacement parts compared to the 1.5T! 4.) The CVT transmission is more than adequate to respond to your throttle inputs, also just remember to change the transmission fluid with HCF-2 cvt fluid every 25k miles. 5.) Lastly, the chasis handles like a Accord with its smooth flat steering response with the 18's that come stock on the sport trim. Con's 1.) No manual E-brake. 2.) Prone to rock chips on the paint and windshield. 3.) Have to enable auto start stop to (off) every start up. 4.) Highway passing power isn't the most robust leaving some to be desired. 5.) Subpar audio system... Honda's stock 8 speaker system is a 6/10! In conclusion, I enjoy my Honda especially since it is the most reliable economy car that has a great handling chasis as this 11th civic does. I plan to keep this car a long time and will do oil changes every 3-4k miles with 0W-20 Valvoline Full synthetic extended protection with a Mobil1-110A synthetic oil filter or a Fram Ultra synthetic 7317!!! Also, Change the transmission fluid every 25k miles with Honda genuine HCF-2 cvt fluid and only do a fluid change, no flush.... Lastly, I always put my E-brake on before I park so help the transmission along with letting the car warm up at least 30 seconds before driving off and driving easy for the first 15 minutes.

Very poor exterior paint quality

Very poor quality control on the paint jobs of these Civic’s. I have a black 2023 and the paint looks horrible with a dull look and lots of orange peel. The bumper still has buff marks from where it looks like the factory tried to fix the dull paint. Very disappointed in Hondas paint quality.

Fun to Drive, Practical, Mature Styling

Enjoy every second driving my Honda. I was not a fan of the more aggressive styling of the 10th generation, the 11th gen looks more mature to me. the interior styling is the best in Civic's history, the cloth seats are comfortable for those longer drives and the leather steering wheel is a pleasure to engage. interior noise is not so bad and the engine is not that loud at cruising speeds. some corners were cut with this car though, and given its price (27k+ for a civic!?), thats why I have to give it four stars. my biggest ZONK is the instrument cluster, they could have done better that for sure (and they do with the upper level trim). no regrets though, I didn't want a turbo engine and am very happy with my choice.

Great but one drawback

I love this car. The color is beautiful (morning mist metallic), and it drives great. The sports mode is very strong, even my dad who rides a BMW was impressed. Economy can get you 40+ on the highway. It is comfortable for a person like me with back issues (disks in lower back) even on long rides and the Lane Keep makes it really easy on highways. Audio quality is great even without the Bose, and the carplay is very usable. Now the biggest drawback for me: THE CRUISE CONTROL! It always leaves so much space even on the smallest distance keeping setting. This leaves enough room for some swerving inpatient driver to cut in front of you (thinking theyll get to their destination so much faster...yeah right). And when they do cut you off, it starts braking fairly uncomfortably, and then leaves the same amount of space as before...So of course another idiot will come along and cut in front of you!!! AND ITLL SLAM THE BREAKS AGAIN. And all this quickly becomes annoying because it just becomes a loop of : get cut off, car brakes and its not smooth, then it starts speeding up to match speed, then someone else comes along ETC... Not suitable for fairly dense highways for this reason. On emptier roads, very good and its awesome that it matches speed.

I absolutely love this car!! So many great safety features, 34-36 MPG, 3 drive modes… it’s amazing! I would suggest getting the grey interior instead of black, it adds a bright feel to the car when you get in!
