Collision Mitigation Braking nightmare

2025 Honda Civic Sport Hybrid 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid EVT)

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.

In late August of 2024 we bought a new 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring. Within a week it had a computer problem. Back to dealer: "fixed" same day. A month or so later, same computer problem. Back to dealer. June 2025 (about 10-11 months later) same problem. Back to dealer. They also discovered it needed a new transmission. No problem. They have one conveniently available from their warehouse located on the back side of the moon: should be here fast. Drove loaner for a week or so. Got call to return that loaner and would be given another loaner as transmission had to be back-ordered from the Regional supply depot, accessed thru the local black hole: should be here fast. Went to the dealer and said, "Make me an offer." They gave me a deal in cash (to arrive in a month of so) and they get to keep the lemon. So, after losing $5000+ in approximately 11 months I am rid of that anvil. To be fair, model is nice looking, gets decent mileage (low 50's), drove nice but not reliable. I have owned, in the past 15-20 years or so, two Subaru, three Toyota and three Honda: this Civic had more problems and more dealer-time than all these cars combined. I don't blame the dealer. All the staff were great. I don't actually blame Honda: I believe this is just the new-model gremlins. Same day we booted the Honda, went to local Toyota dealer and put money down on new Corolla hybrid: arrives today (one week). What an experience. dave

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.
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.

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. Six months on and this car still brings a smile to my face every time I sit in the cockpit. It’s so modest in its outward appearance, yet a wolf when you hit that power pedal. Still feels smooth as silk and I love playing with the regen paddles challenging my self to get the best mpg on every trip. Small cars are not for everyone but if you’re looking for a sports car that doesn’t break your heart or you bank look no further.
