Just got a 2023 Civic LX.....can afford anything I want, but wanted steel wheels and tires that can take a pothole because the roads are horrible where I live, also wanted the naturally aspirated engine....nice and simple, will outlast a turbo every time.
If that makes you feel better, but the CVT is more likely to give you issues in the life of the vehicle than the 1.5T that has had pretty much all of its problems addressed. Manual transmission with either engine is probably the way to go.
Recently got the 2023 Honda Civic Sport 2.0L, I am happy with this one, glad I did not go with the hatchback, heard they have had some issues with leaking around the back window on the hatchback. Next car will be the Acura Integra 2023-2024...
Had a sport Touring for 15 months. 12.000 miles. Really no complaints. I may even like it more as my confidence grows that i made the best choice I could, for our needs and budget. I did drive the Mazda and Toyota and considered Hyundai/kia.
I just picked up an EX and paid $29K OTD including all taxes and destination. No markup! These high interest rates have slowed sales. Even for Honda. They are eager to move vehicles. Mazda is doing the same. I really wanted a new Prius, but Toyota is not producing enough of those and dealers making crazy markups with them! I will hang on to it for a couple of years and see how I like it. Maybe trade it. Great thing about Honda's, they have great resale value!
Recommend the turbo? The 158hp multi-port engine configuration with the MT is a 30 year / 300,000 mile car. Do you want to go zippy shorter term life of the engine or have a more reliable multi-port that lasts over 3 decades? It's your money.
@@ms.b9093People who take care of their things and don’t waste money. I like how you tried to pigeonhole “professional people” as if they think like you🤣🤣🤣
the last option hatch is my personal choice with manual transmission at $32.345K. the only thing that slows me down is the eye-soaring infotainment screen on the dashboard !! it did the same negative impression with Genesis and Hyundais products. I would option it out if that was possible. unfortunately, it is not
The EX should also have leather seats IMO!!!! Though I have not seen many of these 11th Gen on the road. Definitely have not seen a hatchback out in the wild yet!
Rumor has it that if you put a new Civic side-by-side with the absolutely huge 1976 Cadillac Sedan, the Civic would dwarf the Cadillac...making the Cadillac look like a tiny clown car. Seriously.
The Civic is the same size in length, height and width as the Mazda 3 sedan. However the Civic does appear larger for some reason. It definitely make better use of its interior space. The Mazda is cramped AF in the backseat. Not an issue in the Civic!
If you don't get the Civic Touring (excellent everyday driver) ... Get the Civic Type R (Sports Enthusiast), not the blah Si. ... need more room get an Acura RDX. The Mazda 3 isn't great but could do.
Sticky steering bro wake up on 2022 2023 Civic sedans.... Bad electrical steering mecanism. PERIOD even the NHTSA is aware of this Honda Civic 11th Gen fault...
You’re comparing the exterior to Audi lol they make some of the best looking cars. The new Gen Civics still looks better than the last gens. Those tail lights were hideous 😅
@@samrastagar8554 yes I pay attention to body shapes and Body Lines quite often. And whenever I see a car on the road where I think it is one make of car for a Split Second and find out it is actually a completely different car then that's when I make the occasional comment. Yes, haha, they are definitely different kind of cars with quality and performance etcetera that was just referring to the profile of the car
