This is a solid car with excellent handing. The interior is good for a base car. Exterior looks good. The digital instrument cluster is cool as is having wireless Apple CarPlay. Bose system is adequate. Actually the best Bose system I’ve ever heard. Now for the cons of purchasing a top tier $31500 Civic. * Dealership was horrible trying to add a 9k markup!! I didn’t budge and even scored 1500 off the MSRP. Don’t pay anything over MSRP or simply walk. They wanted ~40k for a Civic! * Dealer didn’t follow through with the promise to tint the windows. * The road noise and vibration is inexcusable for a car costing this much. It’s bad folks. * Exterior fit and finish is poor. The hatchback is so much worse. * The interior carpet isn’t carpet…it’s more like the jute typically under the carpeting. * Rear camera resolution should be embarrassing for Honda. * Lots of interior pieces buzzing on rough roads. * No lumbar seat adjustment (Google the complaints about this one!). This top trim screams cheap at every corner. If you to improve all cons above, go with Mazda. Would I buy again…yes but only the base model as a daily driver. this is an economy car and buying higher trims is a waste and you’ll be disappointed.

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!!

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

2023 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

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.
