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.

Thanks for the tour! You gave a great detailed review. I had one of those old hybrid Civics; somewhere around 2011-2014 (can’t remember). I think it was around $29,000I chose that over a Prius. The color of this Civic is horrendous. It is so awful I almost didn’t watch, but that’s not your fault, so I watched on, kicking and screaming how ugly it is. It reminds me of the 1970s appliances on the old Let’s Make A Deal with Monty Hall. But, the grandparents will love it. I can’t imagine anything looking good in that color. White, black, red, gray and blue; that’s all you need. No need to make something up no one ever asked for. I’m going to laugh so loud when I see one (hopefully I won’t). The Camry LE hybrid is $31,000, but I like the attributes the Civic model. I’m sure the Camry doesn’t come in bizarre colors, but they have in Ocean Blue that is spectacular. I like just about everything about the Civic and I like the head unit size and would not want it larger. I realize you do, but I see no logic to reaching over half way across the car to adjust something, and I like it separate from the driver indicators and the steering wheel would hide part of it. It’s a car, not a movie theatre. I don’t care for the Rolls Royce-looking air vent diverter controls and I’m sure they’re not solid steel, so calling attention to them serves no purpose. They will probably break either using them or moving your hand from the mirror to the gear shift, or some other accident knocking them off. There's always some silly design someone takes credit for that is ultimately a disaster. I’d pass on the hatchback at the upgraded price ($3000 is very too much) and living in Florida, I think heated seats are ridiculous to include in any package. As a stand-alone option, it’s a nice idea for some regions, but this isn’t Iceland. You shouldn’t have to buy that to get a leather steering wheel. I wouldn’t buy cooled seats either and we have 11 months of summer here and it gets damn hot and over 100 at times. I also understand packages are to the advantage of the seller, not the buyer. I would change out the lights that weren’t LEDs. I did it to my car and have had no issues with them. I don’t understand why they don’t spend the extra $10 and install them at the factory. Thanks again for the tour. My comments are directed solely at the car and I appreciate the review. If I were to say what I liked about it, other than most things, the post would go on and that isn’t necessary. I’d love to see it in a typical car color (and I will), so I can tell what it really looks like on the exterior. I’ll bet it would be really sharp in a dark red metallic. It would make me more motivated to part with my cash. It just looks like cheap plastic that is waiting to be painted. I mean, it doesn't even look like paint; it looks like primer. Okay, I'm done now...lol.

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.)

I think the mpg numbers depend massively on the driver. I can probably get wayy more than advertised with this car. I say that because I get 525 miles range in my 18' Sentra with a 13.2 gallon tank with my average normal driving. Roads here are longer/less lights in Florida but still. I'd probably be in 600s in this civic, very attractive. Would love to get one, but too much OTD lol, MSRP is fine.

Good looking car. Nice paint job. No hybrid for me though

[@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!

[@VinzoBooks]

It appears Sand Dune Pearl is only available on the hatchbacks as I can't find any pictures or reviews on the sedan in that color. Does anybody know if that's true?

[@yusted1]

Ive been trying to find reasons to upgrade from my 2015 civic se to a new hybrid model with the main draw being mpg. However im having a hard time seeing the boost in efficiency when my car with a stated 33 mpg combined goes sometimes over 600 miles in one tank in great traffic and frequently 330 miles in around often under half a tank. Wheres the 15 mpg combined increase? Is it only if your doing city travel?

[@rickross6390]

Will these be available in boost blue. Thank you sir love your reviews

[@Almighty_cornholio]

Yes

[@DominionAnako-bb7ry]

Honda Civic love the car, in every cardealship brand new ones are higher prices later during the year prices decrease by less

[@rogerh2694]

$40k Camrys and $34k Civics is what we're living in!

[@saultorres4021]

So is it better to get the hybrid version or the cvt transmission one ?

[@aca2983]

This could be my next car. One bummer is that the "blue lagoon pearl" offered in the sedan is not offered with the HB. You can still get the smurf blue though, in either trim. The sand color is growing on me.

[@williamwood1776]

"Smurf Blue"...they should use that as the official paint color! 😆
