Collision Mitigation Braking nightmare
I have only had my '25 Civic Sport Hybrid car a few weeks, but I am frustrated and would love to get rid of it. I did a recent highway drive and for 3h it was on cruise control, 3x during that time the car interpreted a passing vehicle was in my lane and started the Collision Mitigation Braking protocol. So I am cursing at highway speeds and suddenly the car jams on its brakes - fortunately no one was behind and I wasn't rear ended, but how many more times will I get luck with this? I took it in to the dealer to have the sensors adjusted, and the mechanics told me to get used to this. Their cars do the same thing!!! Enjoy, it is unsafe and we don't care!!! I cannot wait to find out what other features on this brand new car they did not bother to work out before bringing the car to market. I could never recommend a Honda.

Giving 5 stars as of now (updated to 3 stars now)
I traded in a 2017 CR-V Touring because it was cheaper to trade and get a warranty than to fix my previous car. I got the Sport trim. Of course I lost features and I do honestly wish the Civic had them. Although it's a brand new car I still worry constantly because I said I wouldn't buy another Honda. I do however go to a dealership I trust over anyone so I'm a little more at ease. I actually won't go into detail yet until I get 5,000 miles on it. Currently a little under 1,000 on it. Updated February 1, 2025: I am not super happy about the purchase as the new has worn off and Honda is showing their non-reliablity once again with an issue I feel I shouldn't be having. I'll be getting with the dealership as soon as I can to see if what is happening is normal but I believe it's the transmission acting up. Also the dealership is a good one from what I've heard but the price of the car was $3,000 more (you know added on things like tint, floor mats, trunk tray and the film protection) which the film protection is peeling off and it's the door edge guards and the door handle cups have bubbles in the rear ones with dirt under it. My salesman said to bring it in to be fixed 🙄😒. I honestly should have shelled out the money to fix my previous car but hey..., you learn from mistakes.

50 years on another Civic
My Civic history goes back 50 years to a new 1976 Hatch CVCC, I also had an '80 and '83 of that generation. New baby, low income at the time, long commute, dependable were key considerations. 40 years go by and I got the next Honda - a 2024 ST Hatch last January after "growing up" and selling my Golf "R". I was disappointed with the driving dynamic and CVT after the Golf R manual. I tested the ST hybrid in November and was amazed by the difference that 20 hp and 50 lb-ft of torque and the difference in "transmission" with the electric motor makes. Amazing! Otherwise its the same great CIvic. Nits are the passenger seat position, stock tires, absence of homelink and SXM. I've adapted and accepted the later two. I'll upgrade the tires after I get a year or so out of them. That will improve handling further and maybe the road noise. Passengers will not notice the seating. I'll get a little towel for lumbar support. I paid sticker for the 2024 ST Hatch - $32,500. I was able to work a negotiated $3,000 off sticker for the hybrid in mid December - at $31,045 this is a steal.

LOVE
I absolutely love this car. I’ve been driving the Honda Civic hatchback EX for the last eight years and decided it was time to buy new. The new Honda Civic hybrid sport touring was way beyond my expectations. I can see why it won best of the best for 2025. The car starts off like you’re speeding across a cloud then when you hit the gas cruises up to your desire speed effortlessly. The electronics are amazing and the music system in the touring is wonderful. I’m looking forward to at least another eight years of happy driving in my Honda Civic

Sports Touring
I like all of the features; however, in the excitement of purchasing the car, I didn’t realize how low the car sat. At 72, I hope that I stay nimble enough in my future years to get in and out of the car!!! Also, since I have only driven 130 miles so far, the mileage per gallon isn’t close to the advertised mpg. That’s a disappointment. Update - mileage isn't close to mpg posted on the windows sticker. Can't get phone to play through car Bluetooth. Using the front windshield defroster, the windshield cracked from top to bottom. Love the heated seats since they help my back.
