    My coworker gives me a ride home when she closes with me at night in her grey Civic LX sedan, and even that is nice. But the Honda Sport Sedan would be my choice, but I am almost sure I will opt for the HR-V Sport at about the same price, albeit 20 less HP and Alpine having the powered subwoofer made for the Civic. Honda gets zonked for not putting the same upgraded radio and speakers in the Sport Hatchback, along with the push button start/keyless entry, and Goodyear Eagle Sport tires over the Continentals, though the latter is not a biggie. The non turbo 2.0L is more reliable than the turbo as I mentioned many times. Like the Hatchback, the Sedan should have a Sport Touring Trim with all of the Sport trim things, plus all the bells and whistles added like the sunroof, power adjust seats, leather, turn signal outside mirrors and such.

    I got the LX the other day. I had to make hard choices, it being a lease deal I could not change things. I hate hate hate on alloy wheels and rubber band tires. I wanted steel wheels and relatively high profile tires. Only the LX has that "good" feature so appealing to we sensible 65 year old guys. But the LX has a truly terrible and tiny LCD screen and no right lane monitoring. Those are the big downers for me. But overall I am happy. The car is zippy and solid. In hindsight I might have instead got the EX but for the thin tires and did I say (yeah) I hate on alloy wheels so easy to damage in a city street pothole or curb. It's such a sadness if you aren't super careful and then you hit a lousy hole and shred a tire sidewall and bend a rim edge. If I were buying the car I would have gotten the EX and traded out the wheels for LX steel wheels. Steel is so much stronger and slightly higher profile tires are worth the handling trade-off because they act more like tires and less like rolling pencil erasers on corrugated cardboard. PS: when you hit 65 you don't turn stupid. You just see the brick wall ahead in total detail.

    • @coniccinoc
      @coniccinoc 5 лет назад +1

      Low profile with alloy rims are not a good combo with any road imperfections. I live in an area where pot holes are common and the local tire shops print money. The only thing worse is when you add run flat to the mix. These tires are stiff and transfer the damaging energy more efficiently to your soon to be scrapped rim.

    I love the subtle refresh of this for the sedan and coupe. I'm really happy that they made the grille black for every civic model and trim. The only zonk I have is still no exposed exhausts except on the sport trim. I have a 17 civic coupe ex-l in energy green and looking to trade up to a 19 in the touring trim. I do have the chrome grille on my model and I'm not the biggest fan of it. The upgraded motor in the higher trims are 100% worth it. I'm sad to see the energy green gone but I'm really liking the tonic yellow! Hopefully if you ever get your hands on the yellow coupe you can do a review on it! Great and informative review as usual!

    If it has the 1.5 turbo engine run away as fast as you can. Honda Inc and the dealership will tell you the ecm update isnt needed if you live in a "warm weather" state (won't even do the update if You offer to pay for it). At 3000 miles on my oil changes (which is done at the dealer) my oil level will be completely above the orange plastic tip of the dipstick and smell just like gasoline (guessing near a quart of gasoline in the oil pan) yet they will say NORMAL for this engine. Honda corporate has been completely Americanized and could care less about the $28k you paid for a vehicle with faulty programming . Supposedly this oil dilution issue can be fixed with new ecm programming so I can't say the engine is defective (like my original post said).
    We DO take plenty of long drives in this vehicle so it is not related to short drives nor cold temps like Honda says.

    The problem with Honda cars is they are not very stylish cars and its not a car that owners can brag about. But this Civic is little bit better. Has a character and its appealing. Only downside is that there are too many of them out there.

    You love to talk about these armrests. I think it is because you drive a manual. As someone who is right handed, and have never driven a manual as a daily driver, my right hand is always on the steering wheel. You use your left hand like i use my right hand to drive, and you feel the need to rest your right arm on that center console. I think this is why you notice this center console as a poor place to rest your arm. I end up resting my left arm up on the top of the door by the window glass, rather than the actual armrest on the door.
    If you think about the mass of people who are buying these civics with the CVT, they’re probably on the same boat as me. Mostly right handed, mostly never driven a standard trans vehicle. I own a 2016 sedan and am seriously considering upgrading to an SI as soon as the 2020 changes are revealed. Maybe then i’ll know your pain

    Unless Honda has resolved the enormous a.c. failure issue found in many prior years' Honda Civics and other Hondas, buyer beware. Do your homework, research a.c. issues in Hondas, the magnitude might shock you. I own a 2016 Honda Civic Touring, purchased brand new March 2016, current mileage: 12,000. Car looks brand new, has always been garaged and received excellent care. Car has constant a.c. issues. Dealership is cooperative and has over the past 3 months tried to resolve the issue, but issue is not resolved so the car is not reliable even in cold weather - a functioning a.c. system is required for defroster use. Dealing with Honda Corp is a waste of time and very frustrating. I may be forced to trade this car which means I will lose money, plus then the car will be resold and therefore become someone else's problem and that really bothers me. Thoroughly educate yourself before buying any car. carcomplaints.com is a good place to start comparing - WISH I'D DONE SO BEFORE I bought my 2016 Civic. I have little to no confidence in purchasing a Honda ever again. Based on all my research because of my own Civic's a.c. issues I know exactly what make/brand I WILL buy. I might be headed there soon.

While dealing with my honda a.c. issue I made a graphic organizer of all comparable cars to the Honda civic citing complaint numbers and problems per each comparable car going back about 15 years and was shocked to find Mazdas were most reliable and significantly lower on complaints, issues and repairs. I expanded and looked at other models for each car manufacturer and found the Mazda was tops all around. I've kind of kept an eye on car manufacturers and what was once a very reliable car maker, Honda has sunk much lower in rankings. It's disappointing. When purchasing a car safety features and reliability are my main concerns. I hope this helps.
