- Taking my 2023 Civic Sport Hatchback 2.0 with 6-Speed Manual Transmission on some back roads on my daily commute. Things I focus on in this video are shifting characteristics, looking at rev hang, and overall feel of the car on a spirited drive. Please stay tuned for more videos of this car!

These videos on the the 2.0L 6MT are a godsend. They are so helpful for someone looking at buying this car. Now if only the leaky hatch wasn't an issue to worry about it.
I’ll be uploading a new video on that shortly. Nothing was done to fix it but it magically stopped leaking for 3 weeks now 🤷♂️ definitely will be making update videos of it as my time with this car goes on
Dude same nobody has videos on the 2.0 4 cylinder. I had a 2020 manual civic sport and it was sweet. I had the coupe version and this hatch just makes so much more sense to daily driving. Even tho it’s not turboed it’s still fun to drive! Bulletproofed for longevity
@@jack.seamans I test drove a new Mazda 3 hatch with the 2.5 and I'm now leaning that direction. 191hp with a traditional automatic transmission is a pretty big card. It just has a pretty big blind spot which I'm concerned about.
I’m really glad Honda does still make a combination that will last. Apparently though the 1.5t and CVT has stood the test of time, the oldest being 2016 and there doesn’t seem to be many issues. But I’ve been telling people ever since the discontinued the regular 5AT that you’re best bet for longevity is to find a 2.0NA with the 6MT. I would snatch one of these up in a heartbeat if I needed a new car and the car market wasn’t so expensive. Hopefully there is a 2024 with the 2.0/6MT and they resolve the leaky hatch of the first year 11 gen. I wasn’t aware there was a hatch issue. Hopefully the AC issue from the 10th gen didn’t carry over too?
I'm just gonna park in the garage 😂
Nice one! Doing a great job man. The Topher and Tedward are definitely the gods of POV, your not doing a bad job at all. Rev hang is noticeably less. Keep it up 👍
Great job on the video, looking forward to your future work.
This POV review was awesome. Definitely reminds me of TheTopher's videos. I like how you gave descriptions of the actual driving experience and compared it to the Si and Sport touring. This video shows this car is more than just its specs. The low rev hang is something no one else has covered. The 2.0 will definitely be more reliable and can probably be "beaten on" more than the 1.5T in the higher trim models. Keep making videos on this car!
Thanks so much for the feedback man it means a lot!
Love your videos, I'm going to be getting mine shortly and I can't wait!
Just subbed! I've been looking for content creators with the same year and trim level as mine. There aren't many out there that I've found, so it was cool to find your channel. Keep up the good work!
I bought the touring manual last week... I love this civic!
Great video. Beautiful back roads in your area.
To me this is the purest classic Honda on sale today. Plenty fast for street driving. And fun.
Excellent job 👍🏼 very professional keep doing like that
You're doing a great job, you're talented! And your appreciation for the car is convincing as well.
Thank you I appreciate your comment! It makes it all worth it
Your doing a great job!.
1st pov videos on TH-cam for the 2.0 manual. Thanks for that
i just got my 2022 honda civic sport hatchback 6 speed and i love it soo much!!!
Great video I watch you videos mainly to relax and sleep I love you calming voice. :)
3:30 haha I did feel like I was watching Tedward video. I think you're doing a good job with the POV stuff. Keep it up!
Appreciate the comment bro! I’ll keep trying!
Thank you for all the coverage you have done on this exact car. Trying to find any real world info on the 2.0 6MT hatch is near impossible. Everyone else is covering the Sport Touring with the 1.5 turbo. I'm interested in the 2.0 manual for the same reason as you so these video have been extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for the comment! More videos incoming!
Great video man very informative and the lay out (pov) is great. I watched this video before deciding to get this or the si
Ultimately i got the si but this video made me definitely consider the hatch
Keep up the good work bro.
Thanks for the kind words bro I appreciate it!
Just bought mine yesterday in white !!! God I love a simple car !!
The Topher/Tedward style or not, you're equally as unique. Love pov drive videos. Keep it up :)
Appreciate the comment my friend !
It's good that you mention throttle response lagging a bit. Manual transmission cars require more than just a precise shift linkage, they also require linear throttle action and an easy-to-find clutch friction zone. I owned a great manual trans Accord, then a terrible manual Integra (both bought new), a few years later.
Alway love the POV road videos! Living in SoCal, it's insane to see roads SO empty. Makes me remember why so many people really love driving and wouldn't care for trains.
Just a observation while watching. I bought a 2024 lunar silver civic sport 2.0 CVT a month n a half ago. It has 1500 miles on it now and the rpms are running so low in comparison to what your RPMs are at, and I am a manual transmission driver have one in my Tacoma. My RPMs have not gone above 2600. And it only kicks up to 2600 when I am climbing any type of hill or upper grade the VTEC kicks in. Otherwise it cruises around mainly around 1000 RPM. Nice and smooth.
Respect that you brought up topher and tedward
Informative video.
Good to know about the auto stop/start requiring a reset every drive. I’d have to modify that.
More importantly, the exhaust note level was disappointing high during your drive for my taste.
I’m looking for a replacement for my aging Accord 5MT with K24 NA engine. Even though your Civic is (somewhat) lighter, there’s no escaping the lower torque (requiring higher revs) of the K20.
Hey NAUS, you mentioned not wanting a tune, but ktuner might be up your ally for throttle response and even some mid-range torque. It did wonders for my 2018 Fit w/ MT, made the car tolerable. As an older buyer now coming from a similar car history, I appreciate you being one of the only reviewers of the 2.0!
Thanks for the comment man! I’ll definitely consider it as time goes on
POV is very much like my 10th gen accord. Great vid
Thank you!
AFAIK the 2.0 L never had rev hang issues. Drove a 2.0 manual multiple times and I daily a 1.5T manual, and they feel very different. The 2.0 feels more natural coming from older manual NA cars, but lacks the grunt and torque compared to the 1.5. It's nice smooth power, but leave you wanting more on the highway for passing. The 1.5T takes a while to gets used to its quirks and rev hang though. It's only frustrating when you are going high rpm/full throttle, where it doesn't come back down soon enough. For normal daily driving, short shifting at 4k, much more enjoyable.
I think your vids are just as good
Thanks man I appreciate that!
Honda’s 2.0L NA engines sounded amazing back then. I’m glad the newer ones sound great too
Great Video. This is the first Video I've seen with the Sport Hatchback Manual 2.0. I was thinking about buying this version of the 2,0 Sport Hatchback Manual and now
I'm sure this is the version I would buy. As you said this is all you need.The MSRP for this version is reasonably priced.. I like that this is the hatchback, which is like
an small SUV without the big price tag. I would take this Hatchback version over the Sport Touring Hatchback, back all day long.Kkeep the video's coming!
Toms of videos uploaded on this car since this one came out. Check them out on my channel !
I’m trying to figure out what part of HV you’re from. I went to high school in Monroe and college in Rockland County. Some great driving roads up there, at least when the roads aren’t broken and the cops don’t catch you! I have a Subaru Crosstrek and installed the Autostop Eliminator. I love it. My car is a cvt but I live in a high traffic area near Atlanta. With all the stop and go it’s absolutely worth the $100. I like your car- I would go for this Sport as a fun, low maintenance and under the radar manual. 👍🏻
Power for your engine gets serious after 5800rpm. For aggressive HWY passing (and to goat much faster cars) I'll time it so that vtec kicks-in when I'm beside other car. At that point, if they decide to flex, they'll need something twice the HP, cause Vtec transition for K20 motor is no joke. Granted, it's short lived, but still fun in third gear since it take a little longer to get to redline from 5800rpm. For track use, I find that I'm in Vtec in either 2nd or 3rd gear before the apex, which makes the car seem like it has way more under the hood then 168hp.
Nice to see Honda went back to classic gauge set up.
Love your channel! This video wish I'd gotten the Manual instead. But dad wanted me to get an auto🥲 keep it up! Your videos helped me so much!!
Solid video. Do you miss not having the auto - rev matching feature, like they have on the Si/Type R?
I never owned a car with that feature so it doesn’t bother me to not have it. I’d say the only place I can see it being beneficial is on the track in heavy braking zones so you don’t have to heel toe downshift. I don’t plan to track this car so it doesn’t bother me
I know this is weird, but I like that you can see the hood. It's more like an old school car.
Great video my friend. If you add a cold air intake to your car you'll see a noticable difference.
It's possible I may get this car. I came here for the review. I appreciate your time good sir.
You got it! More to come
A 90's Acura GSR with 2.0 Displacement. Minus the 8k Rev limit and about 10 or so less horses.
What was surprising is that the new HR-V does not have the auto start/stop. Someone that lives very close to my recently picked up Sonic Grey Pearl Civic Sport Hatchback, and I saw another one at work a few nights ago.
Last night before work, after dinner, I saw one of those rare Civic Sport Touring Hatchback with the rear spoiler in the mauve purple paint. I forgot the exact paint code name, but it looked really nice. When I get my next car, whatever it will be, probably an HR-V Sport, Civic Sport Hatchback or Sport Touring Hatchback, I will probably get the Pedal Commander after getting used to how the car responds in the OEM Stock form.
Like the Acura Integra A-Spec Technology Package with the ELS System, the main reason I would want to get the Sport Touring Hatchback is the Bose stereo system.But if I get the HR-V Sport or Civic Sport Hatchback, I will probably eventually get the Rockford Fosgate Punch 4 x 100 watt amp snd stock location replacement speakers with the heavy gauge wiring. I don't think I would needva subwoofer. Though not specifically acoustically tuned to the vehicle like yhose systems, I bet it would still sound awesome.
The ride snd handling of the HR-V Sport may have some slight body roll on faster/harder turns that the Civic Sport, but if I dm not satisfied with that, I eould ptobably get the Eibach more moderate stiffer and lowered coil springs I believe is called the Sport Kit, as opposed to the stiffer snd lower Pto Kit.
There has to be a way to disable that auto start nonsense. Thank God my 21 accord sport 2.0 doesn’t have that. Like your content very much!👍
Good video, question, why do people keep the tags hanging off the glove box??? lol
Really appreciate your videos, putting my 06 crv Manual on the market soon, need something better mpg, Touring Sport overpriced, Integra apex Manual 40k with 1.5 definitely too much$
I have the same car just bought it a week a ago it’s a great car . But what is that blue light that goes on when you start the car and then eventually goes away within minutes. What does that light indicate or trying to let you know as the driver? Great review by the way
Check out my lastest videos on this car too! I actually go over that light in my latest video. It’s one of the things I don’t like about the car. The blue light is an indicator that your coolant temp is not up to operating temp yet. Idea is just try not to beat on your before that turns off. It’s Honda cheap way of not putting a real coolant gauge in this car
That engine sounds eerily similar to the L15 I had in my Fit.
I had a 2017 EX-T 6-speed (they only made them 2 years I think) and the clutch was incredibly light, and the shifter felt like a video game joystick. It didn’t feel like you were doing anything mechanical when driving it. I traded it for a manual Mazda 6 after about a year. I was hoping they would fix that for the 11th gen Civic, but didn’t have high expectations since the manual is a low volume car.
Yes the clutch is light but the shifter doesn’t feel like a joystick, I’d say it takes more effort to get into gears than my 8thgen
@@NAUS2KI still loved my 8th gen stick given years of driving. The auto rev is not a bad thing given heel toeing can be tiring. Thanks for the comparison
Maybe the rev hang has more to do with preventing carbon build-up in the turbo engines than carbon emissions due to the turbo, that the naturally aspirated engine doesn't suffer. Seems like most turbo engines have rev-hang, even in automatic form. My BMW 330i hangs on revs when using manual mode and is probably there when in full automatic mode because it gets masked.
I was looking at those as i had a 2021 Kia Forte 6 speed manual, that had 147 HP. I now have a 2023 RAM classic Warlock edition so i was thinking of a nice small car with good gas mileage, they seem to be about 27 grand
Rev hang gets better as clutch gets worked in. Your Hatch's pull is noticeably slower them my 2017 Sedan, but K20 engine gets faster with age. Mine had 170k (km) and it was still getting faster with age... If you switch to 16' RPF1 rims (weights 13.7lb), it's big gains in city driving.
do you have pictures of your 2017 sedan with rpf1s? would like to see it thanks
@@vince.r drive.google.com/file/d/1oi63cnHg4jF6XqbsB_702fxmdEeCFYrC/view?usp=sharing
Appreciate the coverage on this configuration. Currently a little dissatisfied with the low visibility in my 2018 Mazda3 GT MT. This Civic is a definitely one I’d consider if used prices relax.
How does the shifting feel? It seems smooth, comfortable, from watching your videos.
Shifting is great, very comfortable and good throw length for daily use
Ngl I'm gonna have to find one of these Civics and get those rims off for my 9th Gen V6 Accord Coupe! 😂
I want to test drive one but there are none on lots near me. I want to see how the auto start/stop works with a MT.
Hey Naus, thanks for doing these videos. I’ve seen them all to-date. I’m not sure if you mentioned it in this video or another (apologize if you already did) but wanted to know how the steering feel and the cornering is on your spec? I know the Sport CVT and Sport Touring CVT have a driver select switch that can put the car in “Sport” mode and firm up the steering and throttle response. Does your manual spec have good steering weight and throttle response even w/o the Sport mode? Or is it tuned for a lighter driving experience?
It feels light, and throttle response isn’t horrible for a modern day car. I haven’t driven a cvt model in sport mode to compare the steering weights. Compared to my 8thgen the steering is significantly lighter
@@NAUS2K Thanks Naus. Got me curious now on going to test drive both to feel the difference. But I still bet the manual gets more power out of the 2.0L than the CVT.
I’m considering upgrading from my 2014 honda civic LX coupe CVT to one of these. Do you think i should do it now or wait till the next gen car comes out. My current vehicle works fine, but the transmission makes it very slow and the coupe isn’t very practical.
I did it now because these cars are attainable at msrp. And msrp goes up the longer you wait. Next year they are bringing the hybrid to the civic lineup, so I’m not sure if the 2.0 and manual trans will be around too much longer
Great pov video, its shame 2.0 didnt come with sport mode just to give it better throttle response
I actually kinda prefer it without any drive modes, it just has the eco mode button which I’ll never use. I prefer the car just being the car , hopping in it and just driving
@@NAUS2K makes sense. Auto start stop is the only thing thats really annoying on my si
Good video good car. What part of NY
Hudson Valley area, thanks!
Great review! You hit all the points that interest me. Great attention to detail. I have a 2015 manual transmission with the 1.8L 5-speed (9th Gen) which I find to be really weak, especially from a stoplight. A school bus could give me a run for my money. Anybody have driving tips for getting up and going from a stoplight? I do drive like an old soul and I baby the car. At what revs do you shift? What revs do you reach on a daily basis?
You can wring that R18 engine out to 6800 every shift and it won’t care. Yes it’s super slow but is one of the most reliable engines Honda ever made. Extremely simple to work on too. I came from a 2010 civic to this, so same 1.8 engine. This car has a lot more pickup though, even though it’s only 18 hp more on paper, the shorter 6 speed gearing and more midrange power, plus true vtec on the intake cam makes it feel great for a daily
@@NAUS2K I appreciate that comment. I'm not ready to change cars but as somebody who likes to treat his cars well, I would shift before 3000 rpm (recommended in manual) ...but it's so slow pulling away from a stop. Now I won't feel bad driving it a little harder knowing it won't care.
Shifting at 3000 drops your next gear way too low for the R18 to have any shot at accelerating quickly. When I was trying to get up and go in that car I would usually shift at about 5000 rpm
@@NAUS2K Next time I'm at a stop light with a school bus, I'll take it to 4000 rpm before I shift into 2nd gear and hope that gives me a leg up. I can see how a few more hp paired with a 6-speed MT gives the new Civic a better feel.
This civic looks awesome. Hope it lasts you for 10+ years 👍
Do you you recommend some get the civic manual if the live in central city nyc? I know your upstate so traffic and roads are not the crowded and bad
That’s a user preference thing. If all you do is stop and go city driving I’d say no. But the clutch is very light so I don’t see it being fatiguing at all
Are you going to Autocross this once it’s been broken in? Would be interesting to look at.
No plans to as of now, It would be pretty unexciting to me as I still have my s2000 for that
I appreciate your content and the focus on what a car is beyond just the specs.
Do you feel the rear getting upset when you're taking a corner on a bumpy road? My '23 manual mazda3 is fine only until the road gets bumpy
No the rear is planted. I want to put Si rear spring and shocks in this hatch to stiffen the rear and make it a little more playful, we will see
Maybe just me but living SoCal I would add sunroof,
What’s the 0-60 with the 2.0 manual?
Shame on Subaru for not keeping the Impreza with a manual option, and kudos to Honda for offering it.
Rev hang is more noticeable when shifting ar higher rpm’s. When you shift below 4k it’s less noticeable.
Will you be getting the PRL intake for the 2.0 since they make it for your car?
Yeah, highway I shifted in this video was 5500, so I’ll do future vids to redline soon
@@NAUS2K as much as I love my si, I kinda wish I got one of these. The hatchback space is much more usable
whats quicker this or 8th gen r18 manual?
"Rev hang" does the sport come with Rev matching? Because, though my Si has the 1.5T, noticable Rev hang goes away if you disable the Rev matching.
No this car does not have auto rev match for downshifting, need to do it yourself !
can you do another drive like this but you ring it out to redline a couple times or just once?
Yes I plan to once I get some more miles on the car, stay tuned!
How is the throttle response? I used to have a 2013 Corolla 5MT and remember the throttle response being an absolute dog. My father also recently had a 22 Corolla Apex 6MT and it responded a little better. Toyota’s always seemed to have be try spongy throttles for some reason. I personally don’t care about HP otherwise I’d get an Sport Touring or even Si, but they’re too much money at the moment, so if the throttle response is decent, I wouldn’t mind sacrificing HP for a better budget.
Check out my other pov driving videos, I go over this quite a bit! Throttle response is not bad, but not awesome, downshifting and blipping the throttle takes some getting used to . Need to stab the pedal all the way to the floor. The old school cable throttle bodies only needed a tiny blip
I feel the ride is bouncy. What do you think?
Any regrets of not getting the Touring? I’m in the market for one of these cars but am getting cold feet on spending 27k on the normal Sport that seems to lack some features for the price and thinking about getting the Touring instead.
I'm going to tell u that I REGRET it 100%. I have the sport trim in automatic and im going to tell u that's its nice and all but there are so many features that lack a whole lot. I wanted the touring but couldn't find it in my area for a reasonable price. On top of that I was coming off a lease so I had to get a vehicle. Get the touring bro. Trust me
The 2.0l will be bullet proof. If you dont need or care for the power everting the cost of ownership will be lower with the lower trim. If being frugal but getting a good cabin is what u want this car is a no brainer. Cant go wrong. With touring as well tbh but the port injected motor on 2.0l model is just s tier
HI, Why you went with 2.0 over 1.5 Turbo ? do you have any feedback from 1.5T owners?
Check out some other videos on my channel I talk a lot about why I prefer the 2.0
Why didn’t you get the Si ? Do you have any reservations about it !
Made other videos covering this , check em out on the channel !
Which car would yall recommend? This one or the 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T?
If you are okay with the size of the accord, it’s a better value . However they are too much of a boat for my liking
I have trouble learning how to drive manual in this car. It's always starting and getting going from neutral to 1st that gets me. I either stall or give too much gas.. 2 3 4th gear im fine. and you can't even feel the jerk. How do you drive smoothly ? I'm glad this doesn't have rev hang. My uncle keeps insisting I get the 1.5 turbo. That is all if I can drive it smoothly in the city.
Idk man I’ve been driving manual for 13 years now since I got my license. This car is one of the easiest and smoothest manuals I’ve driven, my 8thgen is much harder to be smooth in. I’d say practice practice practice. Barely need to give it any gas from a stop in 1st to get going, seems to have a heavy enough flywheel to dampen any jerkiness
@@NAUS2K Got it, thanks for the tips! I might be ordering one soon in white haha
@@timothybracken1728 It's also an over engineered transmission for the 2.0L NA engine. No matter how long it takes to get good at it, it will not stress the transmission or linkages.
@@psewgobind Gotcha, thanks for the advice ! the travel for the clutch is so long and it's just getting going that I always can't find the right sweet spot... Do I give it a lot more gas and rev it high then slowly let it out or what
Does the front license plate drill right into the painted bumper? Or does it bolt and nut through the lower black grill?
Bolts to the grill I believe
@@NAUS2K. The pedal commander is a nice fix the throttle input. I have it in my 2022 Corolla hatchback manual. I like it for extra security as it allows you to lock the throttle pedal when parked just in case someone tries to steal your car.
Can't wait til you upgrade to an FL5 😉
If you guys make me famous than maybe ! 🤣 for real though FL5 doesn’t make sense for me since I have my s2000 for the track/autox already. Plus my news feed is flooded with FL5 content everyday, seems like all the popular TH-camrs have one. Hopefully me bringing these videos of the affordable spec to the people is helpful !
So im confused, do people want the rpms' to drop fast? or slow? i raced 5 spedd cars and i have never heard people even talk about this.
When you drive a manual, the faster the revs drop between shifts, the better
NAUS question, couldnt find a 2023 Honda Civic Sport manual, had to order a 2024, in your opinion you think the 2024 will be a good car compared to the 2023?
I am anxiously awaiting for Honda to release info on the 2024. I’m curious if they made any changes
@NAUS2K so am I. I hope not to be disappointed on the 2024. Again, I attempted to find the 2023 manual, I must have waited too long, none to be found in Pearl White.
Nothing changed for 2024 , just the price for bumped up again !
Stupid question but can you adjust the rearview?
Yes it’s adjustable
In the dashboard, I can see the fuel gauge, but I don't see the engine gauge. Where is it?
There is only a cold icon that appears and turns off, no gauge , I show this in my dislikes video , check it out on the channel !
How would you rate this vs the Mazda 3 hatch NA manual?
I have not driven a Mazda so I can’t say, I prefer the exterior and interior styling of this car though so that’s why I leaned toward the Honda. I also had a tight budget and the lowest trim Mazda 3 with a manual was a couple thousand more than this car
I'm having these same considerations myself. For around 28/30k you can obtain a Mazda3 hatch manual with bose sound, leather Interior, more power, comparable mpg, good looking exterior. I love the new Civic but the prices are ridiculous thanks to dealer markup. Another potential consideration is the WRX too... I don't think you can go wrong with either choice in the end.
I just bought the 2023 hatch auto. I just realized it doesn’t have the temperature gauge or I’m I tripping.😢
so, no option @ all to view?
What part of Virginia are you in?
I’m in the Hudson valley NY area brother
Im really sad i wasnt able to find a manual.. I love the car but i like to drive aggresive and that cvt is the worst...
How are you finding the seat comfort with the manual?
Seats are awesome for me , not for everyone though
@@NAUS2K ok, i test drove the sport touring and found it uncomfortable but im hoping the sport seats are better
Is there rev match in this model?
Gotta do it like a man in this car!
I had Sport sedan, then traded in for a ST 6MT hatch. One stupid thing I have repeatedly done in the past is get a lower trim like that and then set about trying to upgrade everything. Just get the trim you really want. This is my area. th-cam.com/video/pomNhBSU0oI/w-d-xo.html
Glad your enjoying your hatch my man!
I have never heard of those guys..
dos it take civic gas 87 or civic si gas 93
87, another main reason this car is a winner for a daily. Cheap to fill up
Is there an engine temp gauge?
Just a cold light that disappears after the car is warmed up unfortunately
@@NAUS2K Ah I see. Thanks for the reply!
Thank you for normal driving. I am looking for dailey driver not a race track car.
Exactly! This is my daily I plan to keep for 10ish years. I have an s2000 to hit the track with on the weekends so no need for it here
Buy an “idlestopper”, $90.
Hitting the button is free my friend! I’ve gotten in the habit of it
I think you need to go back to your roots and supercharge it lol
There sure is plenty of room for one!
May I tell everyone the honest truth about this car and what's becoming of Honda now ,first stay away please Honda since the 90 went down hill with making cheap quality cars with just bad transmissions and weak suspensions as now my civic hatchback is looking like is going down that road not to mention cheap plastic all over cheap plastic at the clusters scratches so easy seats way small and I'm thin the back seats are made by a toy company meaning cheap quality u hear road noise wind noise impressive that there's more wind road noise than an old SUV I owe with no carpet ,then there's the power there's none on that engine then no real clutch to engage manual with the transmission no real feel then water crawls in when it rains I've got a 2000 lude sitting with moon roof out in the yard zero cover zero water leaks then there's gaps all over the body panels then the hatch seems to be misaligned it's jamming with something like an old car door that hangs and when you close it you have to pick it up to close right oh I forgot brakes are also soft to the feel meaning not a firm strong braking system Then the weather seals feel cheap quality then on the paint you can see bad workmanship then the headlights are spotty not a nice clear bright on them you can see dark spots on a dark road that doesn't happen with a old SUV I owe because I take care of my cars so in words I'm selling my civic hatchback 6 speed manual naturally aspirated asap any decent offers and it's gone before it's to late and it's a 2023 just bought it 1 month ago and yes I'm a true Honda fan from the 70's so I know my Hondas I'm not a fan boy I'm a real Honda fan but Honda just died decades ago I thought I give it a chance with this new civic hatchback but this killed it for me not to mention the new Hondas that are coming out just pure junk stay away people so now before they're all gone I'm getting a V6 4x4 Tacoma o yes I have an old one n a 4 runner n a crx n si n dx nd lude so yes plenty hondas n Toyota n nissan hope this true comment helps out
I wanted to ask how the power feels? Is it adequate for a daily driver? Does it feel slow
Fine for a daily, will keep you out of trouble
Looks more than fast enough to me tbh. I drive a Toyota Yaris IA 2017 and it has just 108 Horsepower, but the thing is so fun to drive. Its wild man. This definitely looks faster. I want to get an SI preferably but this is definitely worth a look if markups are too insane. May just consider an Integra if SI prices dont come down. It makes no sense a more expensive car is less expensive than the less expensive car. The SI badge carries a lot of power.
