I've had the sedan for a month now and after 3k miles which has included a number of road trips into the mountains I can say that it consistently gets right around 50 mpg and that's while being driven like a normal car with no efforts to maximize economy. My Trip B meter has never been reset and currently reads 49.7 mpg.

Today I visited a Honda dealership in Los Angeles. And they have the Civic hatchback hybrid, sports touring version. But only one. I felt pretty lucky because no other dealer in my city has one. The sales man showed me the car and I took it for a test dive. It's a great car and I decided to buy it. But while sitting in the sales office I found out that it's not for sale. Honda sent the car to the dealer as a demo. The dealer must keep the car for 90 days before selling it. I had cash in hand but could not buy it. Bummer!

No memory seats in a 2025 Touring? C’mon, Honda! They make life a lot easier for a young couple sharing a car. Our 2020 Mazda3 Premium has 2-driver memory seats that is linked to the exterior mirrors and the HUD. Nice vehicle overall, though. By the way, Honda used to offer a very similar color on the Civic decades ago.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

Honda cheaps out on everything, always. My Fit has power locks but no keyless entry. I have to use a damn key to lock and unlock the doors, and they use inferior locks which always fail and have to be rebuilt by a locksmith. The Fit also leaked after a few years, all the factory seam sealer on the roof failed and had to be resiliconed. My car has no MP3 player built in either. You had to buy the Sport trim for that (same with the keyless entry). World-class cheapos. This is our 3rd Honda. We also have a Mazda, my 5th, the brand we prefer. Doubtful we will buy a Honda again.

[@bill7481]

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Honda does have the tendency to give the least possible to its customers. On the current SI, for instance, they don’t carry the color and material of the front seats to the rear seats. On the Pilot Elite, they use reflector LEDs as opposed to the projector LEDs used in the competition. Again, even our 2020 Mazda3 Premium has projector LEDs that turn in corners.

[@jeffjo8732]

I'm amazed at how many different ways this powertrain is described. It is possibly the simplest ICE powertrain available, but that makes it so different from any other that some explanations will make it sound more complicated than it is. Most of the time, it is an EV. Not a _Battery_ EV, like a Tesla, but a _Battery_ and _Generator_ EV. The ICE runs at its most efficient rpm and power, and _only_ _as_ _a_ _generator._ You can calculate the ratio of the transaxle OUTPUT_RPM/INPUT_RPM, but it is not a "gear ratio." Because there are no gears, and no mechanical connection. It "varies continuously" only because speed varies continuously. You can't combine the ICE and motor torques because the ICE torque is not applied to the wheels. If you want to call that "direct drive," sure. It is. But "direct drive" usually means that an ICE is driving the wheels directly, not an electric motor. That is what happens when the clutch closes. But that is only when a more conventional car would use an overdrive gear, so this mode is not important to a discussion of performance. Because it is an EV, you can't "brake-torque" it (15:10). But by going thru those motions, you are telling the computer that you want a 0-60 test, so it turns off those asinine simulated shifts. All the shifts do is momentarily drop the ICE out of its best efficiency mode, and lower the application of power since we have been raised to think a momentary loss of power means more power. While true for an ICE with an actual transmission, that does not apply to EVs. (Ah, you say as much later, less cynically.)

No lumbar support = No buy. Shame, because I like the overall look

[@kesomon]

Finally, the hatchback! If only it came in that lovely blue color from the sedan and not the sand muck color. :

[@IgoZoom1]

I think the Civic Hybrid Sport Touring Sedan will be my next car! But I will never understand who would want this color!?!? It's a lot like the Zircon Sand color that Mazda has....which is also hideous! Make mine blue please!

[@goni274]

$30000 for this hybrid in the US! In Canada we pay $40000 plus 12 % tax and the ruddy thing is made here in Alliston Ontario. What a rip!

[@mrlang125]

i hope the day comes where honda doesn't consider the civic being the "lower" end car compared to the accord. The small premium features like cooled seats, powered trunk would just make it even more perfect.

[@ellen0328]

Yes - totally agree! I hate when I see things like no lumbar support, no rear air vents, no rear usb. Smaller size shouldn’t equal less premium.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

They're keeping the price down.....

[@truckercowboyed2638]

​@@ellen0328yes it should it's an entry level car, nice but still low level.......a civic is not a BMW

[@ellen0328]

@@truckercowboyed2638 You have your opinion and I have mine.

[@mrlang125]

@@truckercowboyed2638 yeah thats fine but if I want the touring model and willing to pay $30k+ i'd love those features there's a handful of other cars in that price range that does come with it. I don't think its a price factor but more of saving these "premium" features for the accord.

AWD option would have been solid. Still a good vehicle though.

[@kellyaustin7487]

Then it would be much heavier and way overpriced. AWD doesn't apply to this particular vehicle. Not necessary.

[@bigmacdaddy1234]

AWD doesn't improve a car's ability to stop or turn in poor conditions. It can also be tricky in some conditions, like intermittent ice and snow. If you hit the wrong patch of ice at too high a speed, you could slide or spin. AWD vehicles may also be more likely to hydroplane in some circumstances. Better off with proper snow tires and becoming a better driver.

[@JoKIA_-100]

34,500 and no rear vents and no rear connectivity. Come on Honda. Great car but are the improvements worth the price? Add all the additional costs when buying and it’ll be darn near 40k. I’ll be sticking with my 2024 EX-L for a long time.

[@mitchellc2723]

Love that new color.

[@gibreezy]

They need to put the same screen they do in the accord!!
