Honestly if anyone is looking for a fun new civic, just get an si. They're really cheap for what you get. Fun, handles really well, and the gearbox is amazing. They will hold value better than any other new civic you could buy as well, aside from the type r.

I have a 2016 Civic Touring sedan and this 2019 has several good improvements like the integrated Homelink garage buttons, volume knob and real shortcut infotainment buttons, and 18" tires.

I just got a certified preowned 2016 touring. 26k miles listed at 19k got them down to 17k and they threw in the 100k mile 10 year bumper to bumper extended warranty. The performance may not be amazing, but its the fastest car I've ever owned so far, lol. Last car was a 2011 fusion SE. I drove Fords my whole life up till now, I would have got another Fusion, but Ford is not gonna be selling cars going forward, so I figured I had to get used to a new brand. But at least from my experience I can't really say a bad word about Ford. I drive a lot, and put 200k miles on each of my last 2 fords (2002 Taurus and the Fusion) No work but normal wear and tear on them.

I have the 2017 LX 6MT. My adaptive cruise control is my left knee. The LX is about 250lb lighter then that Touring (a lot less off the front end compared to touring) and I think a little more tightly tuned in the rear (links are different). Anyways, I'd be very surprised if the 2019 Corolla can keep up in the twisties. I suspect the 1.5t Accord 6mt dynamic is more comparable to mine. Given similar rubber, even the 1.5T Accord would have a tough time.

Looks too much like a Toyota Prius from the back. Side profile isn't bad and the new, revised front end is an improvement that looks good I think.. Leather interior is a must, for me, with some side bolstering to hold you in place. The Touring model looks pretty good inside. Nice leather look, good looking gauges and decent materials used. Just wish Honda used an automatic transmission that wasn't a CVT. Best cvt transmission I have driven recently was in a 2018 Nissan Altima SV rental. I was actually convinced it was a traditional automatic because it shifted exactly like an automatic transmission. Didn't hang in the upper RPM range accelerating like mine and most others do. I could hear in this video the CVT transmission behaves like garbage. It's all in the programming and could be fixed to drive like a normal automatic transmission. The removal of the fake air vents is a HUGE improvement in looks... And common sense.
