This was a decision I agonized over. I am a city dweller who had been for several years without a car. I realized the days of the $399 a month lease deal on a BMW are over and made the decision that for the first time in my life I would buy a car outright, with cash. My list included the Civic, Accord, Jetta, Mazda3, Acura Integra, Audi A3, and BMW 3 series, and Tesla Model 3. Range anxiety and not having the luxury of my own garage to charge at home discouraged me from the Tesla. Ultimately it came down to getting a basic luxury sedan like the A3 or 3 series or something more pedestrian and saving like 10 grand. The Civic Touring just seemed to have the most of everything for the advertised price: a generally good reputation for reliability, good resale value, a good sound system (12 speaker Bose), and a very reasonable amount of tech for the money. The dealer sold me the car at MSRP. I've owned it a month now and so far I love it. The black exterior is a surprisingly rich-looking and impressive black. It's metallic but almost looks like jet black. Most metallic blacks seem more like graphite to me so I am really very happy about this. The rims that come with the touring model are also very classy and have already received compliments. Despite the lack of lumbar support, I find the seats comfortable. Visibility in all directions is solid. That may not be the case with the hatchback. I believe the car is advertised to get around 33 mpg but so far my average is 29.5 mpg with (mostly) highway driving. I understand the car needs to be driven a bit more to hit the advertised mileage so I will monitor it to see if it improves with the blessing of time. I think the sedan looks better than the hatchback, but that of course is subjective. If you are stuck between say the EX trim and the Touring trim, I say the sound system alone makes the Touring worth it. And the rims just make the car look more expensive as well. To be honest while I looked at the Integra myself, I really do not know why anyone would consider it over the Civic Touring unless they really want a manual transmission or something. The base Integra just seems like a lame duck with a worse sound system than my Civic and only 20 more horsepower, and to pay like 6 grand more for the A-spec with the tech package seems even crazier. But to each his own! Now for some nuances: I haven't figured out how to get turn by turn navigation to display above me on the steering wheel. It seemed to do it once randomly but not anymore. It's probably some setting I have to activate or button to push. Also, I've noticed the high beams will sometimes come on seemingly randomly when I'm driving at night. I would prefer if they didn't do this. Again, probably a setting that has to be turned off. Finally with regard to the engine and transmission, I certainly find the 1.5t adequate with even power to spare. Obviously it won't give you the same thrill as a BMW 330i but nobody should have that expectation. I find the CVT unobtrusive. Overall, I hope I continue to be satisfied with the 2024 Civic Touring. I will update this review in a yr or so!

2024 civic sedan. Nice looks, good gas mileage 34-35 around town. Wider tires hug the road. Stereo system is ok, android auto works as it should. Seats are AWFUL. Not enough padding. No matter what I can't get comfortable. Had to buy a wheelchair cushion to get some comfort. Visibility is good, but rear window is pretty shallow. Rear view mirror too small. Bought aftermarket attachment to give a wider view out the rear & sides. Controls are pretty good. Heat & A/C are fine. Sits low so sometimes hard to get in & out. All these negatives are only really noticeable AFTER you drive it a while. Test drive, you don't notice as much. It does have sharp/ crisp handling. Pretty quite & road & wind noise not too bad. But I drive on good paved roads. No power driver seats, would have been nice to have. Passengers seat only has adjustable back, forward & back. No up or down like drivers seat. Rear seat ok, but not for long road trips. For the money, it still reliable & dependable car. Was better materials inside than the Toyota corolla. Not too crazy about the CVT. But most cars today has that, so not a lot of choice in this segment. HATE the start/stop feature. Have to turn it off EVERY time you start the car . There should be a PERMANENT way to turn this OFF !! Plenty of room inside though. As I get more used to it , I might like better or just get used to it If I could change just 1 thing it would be a more comfortable seat !! Good thing I don't travel much & just use around town, or I would definitely be considering trading in faster than I have in the past. Guess they really " don't make them like they used to " Sadly.

For the cost, this is a good A to B commute. Stylish, plenty of interior room,good visibility ( rear window a bit narrow) trunk space adequate for its class. Handles very good. Good room on back seats but no extras there. ( Sport trim) pretty good excelleration, & brakes nicely. Stereo system is adequate. BUT, I hate that stop/start feature. Should be a way to turn off permanently. Also, the front seats are not very comfortable. No power seats except for the top of the line model. No lumbar, but seats are padded enough so that's not really an issue for me. Gas mileage is very good, & ride is pretty smooth and comfy. Takes harsh bumps in the road very well. Trunk space adequate. Fit & finish seems good. Of I could change anything it would be more comfortable seats & get rid of that STOP/START feature, or be able to permanently turn it off. Price was good in my area, with no up charge by my dealer. Even got $1 000 off MSRP. So pretty good deal. This car serves as my only vehicle & gets the job done without many bells and whistles that I don't need, use, or want to pay extra for.

The 2024 Civic Touring is amazing. Traded in 2018 Honda Accord EX which I felt had too much play in the steering. The 2024 Civic Touring has no play in the steering wheel. Handles beautifully. I love this car. Has all the perks that I want, including Sirius radio!!!!

Everything’s great on this thing. Would like to have had some more creature comforts in the car but comparing other vehicle prices, you can’t beat it in our current economy. Don’t buy a used car the same price as a new car, especially if you’re gunna load it up with so many miles. I got the silver color, not sure what the correct name of the color is, with black, sporty 18” wheels makes it look sweeeeet. Just need to invest in tinting windows. It’s spacious interior is great for a small family but for road trips, I’d rather use a bigger car, not this one. You won’t regret this purchase for a daily driver.
