I purchased the car new with the intent to get a fairly inexpensive commuter car with all the bells and whistles a car like that I believe should have - got the touring version. After two months I have mixed feelings. The handling is excellent, engine on a highway does deliver remarkable dynamic performance relative to what it is but will never deliver the advertised fuel economy if you drive in any other but conservative manner. Dynamic driving just strains the tiny turbo too much. I formerly had a 3.0L V6 Honda and the fuel consumption stayed within relatively stable range regardless of the driving style, which tells you small turbo engines are inferior to naturally aspirated ones. The level of highway road noise is one of the worst for the segment and is unacceptable in a commuter car although I read that changing tires would help alleviate it by about 50-60% (the OEM tires are total trash). On a bad pavement it is so bad, it makes enjoying the otherwise excellent Bose stereo system impossible and will interfere with spoken navigation commands, which will not be understood due to background noise. Supposedly the Touring version has sound deadening panels but they must be paper thin. The engine auto shut off feature only looks good on paper, in an urban environment it will only save a fraction of a percentage point. It is just for government regulations compliance, I don't think anyone sensible would actually want to use this feature.

After changing jobs and having to drive 100 miles round trip, I decided to buy the 2023 Honda Civic, I think it was the best decision of my life, not only does it save me a lot of gas but it looks spectacular on the outside and not to mention The interior is simply perfect with a lot of space, like any criticism there are negative points such as the sound system which in my opinion lacks power to be able to listen to your favorite songs at full volume, another point that I would like to highlight is that it lacks entry to the car without having to use your remote control even my 2011 grand cherokee has it, in a general perspective it seems like a good car for price, safety and appearance, it has been my first honda and I think I will continue with the tradition of continuing to buy this model for a long time

Wonderful vehicle! I am very pleased with it! Handles well, shifts well. I love the new boost blue color. Would recommend this car to anyone who appreciates good cars.
