      Have a mk11 Civic as well and feels the same way. put it side by side to the Accord and you wouldn't think it was supposed to be a size or two down. Not only is it longer but most noticably it is WIDE. Drives way wider than the Golf I had before it. I will say though the handling is pheonominal because you don't feel the size at all, but yes, it is a lot bigger than Civics used to be

    In Japan, it was long time ago but, I used to see Civics and Accords that were imported back from the US. I believe they were especially the fifth generation Civic and the fourth generation Accord. Of course, they were left-hand drive, and the design of the four-spoke steering wheel with airbags was really cool, and I still remember it. The Civic Coupe and Accord Coupe from that time are still legendary to me.

    One thing worth noting for those prioritizing reliability, was that the engine was changed from a port injected K20C2 to a direct injected K20C9 which is honestly kind of a let down. With that, it drops HP from 158 to 150 now as well :/

It's by no means catastrophic, but in the sense of reliability the K20C2 is more favorable since the port injection cleans the intake valves from its location, if that makes sense

    I really look forward to a possible review of the sport hybrid / sport touring trims.
    Honda is definitely strongly suggesting hybrid options / nuking gas trims IMO.
    Would love to know opinion on hybrid trim options compared to hyundai elantra hybrid / toyota options.
    Would also love a bronco sport but only if MPG improves.

    My friend bought a 2023 civic sport hatchback brand new awhile back. It’s just mediocre, but does everything well. Interior panels rattle at certain engine RPM’s and it’s just “okay”. Drives sporty which is appreciated. Overall, my 2012 Subaru Outback is a much nicer car and those aren’t known for being super quiet

    Glad they dropped the problematic 1.5T engine. But Honda please offer a manual transmission choice for enthusiasts. 🙏 People were not buying it? But everytime I look for a Mazda 3 mt or Honda civic mt they tell me oh we had a couple last week but the were IMMEDIATELY purchased. Tells me there is enough people who would buy if they were a little more available.
