2023 Civic Touring

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!
Wow.....What a car!!!

First of all, if you are thinking about buying an Accord, you need to look at the 2023 Civic, first. This car is incredibly roomy inside. The cabin is upscale. The dash is amazing. It is quiet and smooth on the road. I do not hear the whine of the engine at all. It handles bumps in the road like a larger car. Also, the 2.0 liter engine has plenty of power, both around town and on the highway. Don't believe the reviews that say it is under powered. It has plenty of power with the way Honda has the CVT tuned. You can also use the sport mode when you need a little more power. I have owned about 40 cars in my lifetime, including numerous Civics and Accords, and this is one of my favorite cars, if not my very favorite. I cannot believe I got a car as upscale as this Civic is, for the price I paid. The infotainment center is easy to figure out. All of the tech features are intuitive. The speedometer display is easy to figure out and customize to your liking. The car looks sophisticated and refined, yet still sporty. This is a great family sedan.

Gorgeous car, but you’ll need a chiropractor!!

I absolutely love the styling of this car inside and out!! I opted for the lunar silver in the touring model, first Honda I’ve ever owned, and what a disappointment. First, let me say I purchased this car for gas savings and it was one of the few cars on the market that weren’t price gouging! I said that to say I didn’t compare other cars in this segment. However, that shouldn’t matter for this price point and when Honda can do better. Honda didn’t bother to give you an option for lumbar support or a decent seat in any class of this civic, I’m 5’11, 42y/o and cannot get comfortable at all! Legroom is about an inch short, constant back pain, the lower part of your back will have no support at all! I’ve tried various pillow types, non have worked.. I’ve been to the chiropractor several times since I’ve purchased this car, now it’s parked and I’ve gotten back in my truck. So be warned! I’ll jump to the road noise for a bit, I’m not even sure if they have any sound deadening in the flooring at all, if they due it’s paper thin!! The tires are all season Goodyear which I’m sure makes this worse!! If I keep the car long enough to change tires, I guess I’ll find out! I’m sure I’ll trade and eat the negative equity at some point! The drivers who don’t live in areas where the idiots opt to use coarse pavement won’t have issues, smooth surfaces are great! The engine and power are spot on, and I’ve had no mechanical issues as of yet (3200 miles). There are some personal things that, well just irritate me that some won’t even care about in no certain order.. lane assist isn’t worth using, system warnings are too low even at max volume when the radio is on, Honda link app for this car is a joke!! Remote start is only useable via key fob, but u have to be in eyesight of the car when using or u won’t know it worked (parking lights flash 3x) then the whole car is dark. I’m not a fan of the windshield wiper change mode, nor the washer system. There’s no digital gauge to display tire pressure, but you will get a warning a tire is low.. could be either one of the 4.. those are some minor gripes I have that just to me are noticeable but not punishable.. I will add another major complaint is very thin paint!! I was standing near my car parked under a tree when an acorn fell out of the tree bounced on my hood and gave me 2 chips, fingernail deep!! This is my take on the car, if you don’t have back issues and like the styling just try to ask to keep it for a day or two before purchasing!! You’ll love the styling, peppy, great sized car if you can handle the rest!!

2023 Honda Civic Type R 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

This car is stellar. Period. It handles remarkably, is fast, and comes with lots of standard features. I haven't had it for long so far, so my opinions could change, but I feel that overall it is going to stay this way. One essential feature I'm very happy to see here is individual mode. It really helps considering how firm the suspension is on this car, especially on R mode. Which itself is better suited for tracks. That mode is too firm. Some features are lacking, such as heated seats, and a 5th seat, which I found quite frustrating, especially when it came to carrying more people. The amount of roadnoise is painful at times, and sometimes os a dealbreaker for me. The real dealbreaker is te price. The markups I recieved were even worse. There was almost a 10K markup on my model, which was pretty terrible, but that is to be expected, where I got mine next to California, which thankfully I didn't recieve relatively crazy markups for. This is a fabulous car, but there are a few flaws that can be dealbreakers for some people.

Best Civic Ever But Missing Things
Gunga Din Drives!, 07/31/2023
2023 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
4 of 4 people found this review helpful
This is by far the most comfortable and stylish Civic ever made. It also rides smoothly, but I have to say that it lacks Blind Spot Monitoring and Frontal Collision warning. Backing up there is a camera, but there is no warning of any objects in the area or cars passing. A much improved Civic but skimped on needed safety measures.
Sporty fun

Good fun car with good fuel economy but still sporty. Only downsides would be lack of feedback on remote to notify remote start and wished there was a app for remote start

14K Miles with serious issues

I purchased a Honda Civic Sport 2023 new from Autofair Honda of Manchester New Hampshire. On the ride back home from the dealership, the Bluetooth in the car was cutting in and out when I was listening to my music on my iPhone 13, which is by no means a dated phone right now. At 500 miles, it didn't start when I was leaving for work. It took a couple tries to get it going. The car is now at 14k miles and it hasn't started 5-6 times throughout my ownership. My newest issue is my slipping CVT transmission, which jutters and jerks sometimes when slowing down and accelerating. I've brought the car to Honda 3-4 times to address both the engine and transmission problems and they say everything is working perfectly fine and they couldn't find an issue. I am definitely not keeping this car past warranty. It's a ticking time bomb for an expensive fix.

Worst Honda Civic LX I've owned
Jsb333, 01/24/2024
2023 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

The car over-all does not drive smoothly. It doesn't have a sporty look or feel. The navigation has gone out multiple times, the steering wheel shakes terribly when you go out of your lane, the gas mileage I'm averaging on the highway is 28 miles, which is way down from my other Civics. If it's raining very hard or slightly foggy, then it let's you know that most drivers assist aren't going to work. That never happened in my 2021 Honda Civic. It's also very noisy on the highway. I would give anything to have my old 2021 back. Very disappointed, and I really hope Honda doesn't keep going in this direction, as I love Honda all-around.

A bumpy ride
Chantia, 04/29/2023
2023 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
11 of 16 people found this review helpful
The car is beautiful the leather is soft snd the power of the engine is great, wish I had a heated steering wheel though like my much cheaper ford focus had because it can get really cold. I say the ride is bumpy because you feel every bump on the road I took it back to the dealership they said nothing is wrong with the car it’s probably the low profiled tires. I wish I would’ve got the Honda Accord. The civic’s front seat is kind of small I’m a plus sized gal so the more roomier Accord with the smoother ride would’ve been a better fit guess the Accord is going to be my next car. Also I really don’t like the lane assist sometimes it pulls the car out of the lane I think it could cause an accident hopefully there’s a way I can turn it off. Thank you for the opportunity to share my experience.

Mediocre...

Not exactly what I'd expect from Edmunds Top Rated Awards car choice for 2023. Prior to heading to the dealer for a test drive, I went through several reviews, both good and not so good, just to get a sense of other owners experience. After having driven tested the new Civic I couldn't agree more with many of the other drivers complaints, particularly related to road noise, which is prominent, and driver seat comfort, especially the lack of lumbar support and tight seat. I didn't have enough time behind the wheel to experience any of the other issues with the infotainment system, but obviously the driving aids tend to be on the overeactive side, which can be more an annoyance than assistance. The 1.5 turbo is punchy but the CVT lagging initial response tells me that a CVT might not the best match for this engine. (The 6 sp.manual may be a better choice). Yes, I agree, the Civic is fan to drive around town but not what I'd choose to drive in my long commutes, let alone my road trips... All in all, not my favorite Civic. Fortunately in this price segment there's plenty of choices with similar road manners and comfortable ride (Mazda 3 here I come...)
