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
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
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...)
