I don't even have a new civic yet. I'm waiting for my 2008 Honda Fit to die but if it happens in the near future I will be replacing it with one of these Civics. I'm thinking an LX Sedan with some some lightly used wheels is the most affordable way to a nice looking civic. Especially since the...
In case I go with a Civic LX, at some point I would probably replace the stock covers with some OEM wheels, however I don't really like any of the standard ones (not a big fan of black wheels and I don't like the EX ones, touring wheels are ok).
I was checking out the Accord wheels and I like...
No kidding. That's probably the closest thing to the Turbo engine Sport (non-touring) that we all want. it comes with Alloy wheels, Carplay, Pushbutton start and version of the 1.5 Turbo making 190HP. I don't like big cars but you almost have to at least consider it if you're in the market for a...
The usual suspects at the top (Honda and Mazda). However, I still don't think VW gets enough credit for including their turbo engine in all iterations of the Jetta. Sure that power plant isn't impressive when compared to the higher end engines from Honda and Mazda but it's their standard engine...
Weight is such an underrated factor in cars. I have a 2008 Honda Fit with only 109 HP but it feels peppy and agile because it's so light. It impacts so many things like handling and braking as well. I get so annoyed when Car and Driver or Motortrend do a car review and they're like "interesting...
Yup, I agree 100%. I've only owned Hondas/Acuras for the last 20 years but these trim options suck. You have to spend high 20's to 30k to get a Civic with the 1.5 turbo engine. The refreshed 2022 VW Jetta's will come with a 1.5 liter turbo engine standard and the base price is supposed to stay...
Is there any added features that I'm not getting to account for the price difference between the hatchback and sedan (other than the LX hatchback having alloy wheels vs. steel wheels and covers). The LX hatchback is $1200 more than the LX sedan and the Sport hatchback is $1000 more than the...
They should have kept the blacked out trim for the Sport Touring model. Instead it gets the chrome and only the regular Sport model has blacked out window trim.
I also wished that the regular Sport had the 1.5T instead of the downgrade to the 2.0.
As is usually the case with Honda, the...
They do it so it must be smart but it definitely isn't what I want. Give me the Turbo Engine and Apple Car Play and I'm pretty much good. I don't need power seats, windows, sunroofs, leather, subwoofer, etc. I'll take remote start, keyless entry and push button start but even that is not a...
Damn, downgrading the Sport from the 1.5t to the 2.0 really sucks. That trim would have been exactly what I wanted, now I'm left in no man's land where there the turbo models are a bit too expensive and include features I don't care about while the more affordable models have the risk of...
I think it has a german-like subtle sense of style (similar to Volkwagen). It's like they took a generic boring body and added a little bit of character here and there. I think little things like color choice and wheel choice are going to make a big difference on this car. An LX in gray with...
The 2.0 Sport trim has basically everything I want (keyless entry & Push Button Start, Apple Car Play, Paddle Shifters, upgraded audio over the LX) and I love it's look. My only concern is whether I'll regret getting the 2.0 vs. the Turbo.
Here are a few things about me:
1. I currently drive a...
I think this is a missed opportunity. There is a market for affordable sporty cars with good automatic transmissions. In fact, arguably the Si's biggest Competitor, the VW GTI is known for just for that.
Man, the sports looks nice in Red with all the black touches! I think the Sport models will best in Red, White and Silver since those colors go well with Black. Something like Blue just doesn't go with black imo. If the Sport just had the turbo it would be an easy choice for me. Heck, if they...
They did a good job with the trims because part of me can almost rationalize any of the trims. With Car Play, Push Button Start and the proper digital Head Unit the LX seems like it has the few things I really missed on the previous gen LX.
For a little bit more the Sport adds some great eye...
