As a fair comparison to the new hatchback, the 10th generation Civic sedan offered both 2.0 and 1.5 engines. The volume seller was the Sport. Only about $1500 more than the LX.
I think the Sport will be the sweet spot for the average HB buyer too. In general the "loaded" models of a car...
List is based on what Honda Canada posted on their configurator today and what's already on the Honda US configurator. These are all manual transmission cars. And they will all be made in the same US plant.

Honda Canada appears to offer way more color choices with the manual transmission hatchbacks than US versions, yet they are all going to be built in the same US plant. Hmmm....
Sport HB 2.0 and manual weighs about 200 pounds more than my 2018 Civic LX coupe with manual transmission and 16" alloys. So HB should definitely be slower. I'm planning to downsize my 2022 Sport HB to 17 Enkei TS-10s which I guess will save 30 pounds. Every little bit helps. Will never be a...
I totally agree with you!
This review of the Civic coupe sums it up.

Nice. You will enjoy it. I have 2 Civics with the same engine and transmission. Have to hit at least 3k RPM to get going but has power to pass at highway speeds.
When I get my 2022 HB/manual I plan to swap to lighter weight wheels. Will help launch a bit.
What colors are you considering?
My short term plan is to get a silver 2022 Sport HB with manual transmission. And add some storm grey Enkei TS-10's.
In a few years will step up to the Si (hope more color choices) or the new Integra (the preview Integra photo is silver so should come in silver)
Absolutely. Goes with the black mirrors on the Sport just like Honda did with the black lip rear spoiler and mirror caps on the 19/20/21 Sport sedans.
I'm planning to get a silver Sport HB and was thinking of ditching the black Sport wheels for silver but if I get a black rear spoiler it's all...
The only thing missing from the LX Accord for me is a leather wrapped steering wheel. I can't stand the hard plastic on the stock wheel. Could either get it leather wrapped at an upholstery shop or get the Honda leather wrapped heated wheel that's a dealer installed option.
BTW in most markets...
