2nd update- things take a turn for the worse

J. Clouseau, 12/03/2023
2024 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
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! 6-7-2024: Seems like a good time to post some updates. I've driven around 3,500 miles now, which is a bit less than I hoped. Somewhat concerningly, my avg MPG is 29.9...this is less than the minimum I should be getting in the city (31 mpg) and I am a conservative driver. If I don't see improvement by say 5K I may start to wonder. Every MPG counts, and many previous cars I have driven met or even exceeded their published MPG. On the positive front, everything I previously mentioned I enjoyed about the car I continue to enjoy. The 1.5t and CVT work incredibly well together-CVT's truly have come a long way. The power delivery is excellent. There has been some criticism of the upper trims. I do not agree that they feel cheap or at least have seen no evidence of it. Having prior experience with German cars I'm amazed at how refined this vehicle feels. The ride can be bumpier than say a BMW or Lexus over choppy roads, and there is a bit more road noise at highway speeds but it's like comparing a B+ student to a perfect A student. It doesn't bother me much and I doubt it will bother most people. Other things...the auto high beam feature can indeed be disabled. It would be nice if the car had seat memory, and rear ac vents wouldn't hurt either (for what it's worth, the Integra doesn't have rear vents either which makes that vehicle even more of a waste!). If you're still reading, some other great aspects of the Civic are the simplicity of the controls. Everything is logically laid out and exactly where it should be. You still have physical climate controls (many Volkswagens, BMWs have removed these- I just think of a situation where I'm merging onto a highway, my window is fogging up, and I'm fumbling through a menu on a screen trying to turn on the defroster). Oh and you still have a traditional gear shifter- no silly button shifter, column shifter or anything that would make you wonder what on Earth were they thinking?? Well, I think I have covered everything! I continue to believe the Honda Civic Touring is a great car that provides excellent overall value. But MPG is something I will have to watch closely!! 3.2.25- I now have roughly 6,000 miles on the vehicle. Unfortunately, a couple of surprising things have occurred that have compelled me to post a second update, and also reduce my star rating from 5 to 3 stars. I was debating whether this might be too harsh-I suppose if 3.5 stars were possible, that's where I'd be. But I'm honestly fine with the two star reduction. First, MPG: I've seen no improvement. In fact my average has gone down from around 29.5 to 27.5 mpg. That is just not good enough and again, is far below what Honda claims the car is capable of. EVERY other car I have had, without fail, has met or exceeded its range. Why should this Honda be the exception? Another point I think is relevant here is I've come to find out that the Civic has a 12.4 gallon fuel tank capacity. That is small relative to most vehicles on the market. Bottom line: for a car for which fuel efficiency is a selling point, I'm thinking about fuel too often! The next issue I had was honestly kind of odd. I was on a three hour trip and stopped to have lunch. To my surprise, when I opened my driver side door I noticed that this piece of molding or weather stripping right at the very top of the door above the window had come loose and was kind of sticking out awkwardly! I have NEVER experienced something like that in any car, let alone a new car. I immediately drove to the nearest Honda dealer I could locate. They apologetic but admitted that they had seen this many times, and basically just used their hands to put it back in place. It hasn't come apart again since then and I certainly hope it doesn't. Another complaint is with the wireless phone charger. The few times I attempted to use it, it was basically worthless. The phone has to be in a very specific position for it to do anything. I rented a Cadillac CT5 not long ago that honestly felt as luxurious as my Honda but let me tell you, the wireless charger worked like a charm. No issues whatsoever! Next, the sensors. They are too sensitive, particularly the forward collision warnings. More than once the car has beeped and the "brake immediately" alert appeared when there was no perceptible obstacle or danger. Would say more if not for limit!
