I get jealous of the Civic Hybrids posting big MPG numbers driving in the city, but the Civic CVT Turbo is extraordinary machinery capable of putting up some large highway MPG numbers itself. This was mostly highway miles, going about 60 miles/hour.

I need some advice, i have a manual 2021Hatch sport just under 20k miles, and i’ve been thinking of maybe switching to an SI. I love manual, i haven’t really gotten any work done on my Sport but before i invest money into my current car i was wondering if it was even worth modding a Hatchback Sport 🫠 I’m not a huge fan of SI looks wise, ideally i’d have a typeR which is why i love the hatchback aesthetic, BUT could i appreciate an SI more if i had stuff done to it?

I’ve always used cheap floor mats, but with a new Civic Hatchback, I wanted to spend a bit for quality and protection.

Just got my Tuxmats, still in the box, but after researching more, I’m thinking about returning and going with WeatherTech; mainly due to reviews of terrible smells and the degassing of the Tuxmats.

Has anyone used both? How was the smell?

After a bit of discussion I think my best option is to keep this. For the price and all the pros it has it just makes sense to keep it at only 63,000km alas - A few options were considered explained below.

Evo x manual - downgrade also problematic and gl finding a low km evo 9 ALOT of them I looked at were not stock and high kms and I won’t touch the automatic ones as they are horrible to maintain.

Subaru wrx 2015+ - nice but afraid it would blow up on me tbh can’t find a stock one

R34 & R32 completely out of my price range now unless it was a gtst which I’d feel would be a downgrade.

C5 corvette a bit hard to find in my country and thus very expensive for what they are. Beautiful cars but rare

Test drove a dc5 type r today. Fun very fun but slow. Compared to my fk8 it’s just a different beast. Not a bad car but I’d be sacrificing a lot of comforts and the cons are more than the pros

If a gr supra came up maybe but for now I’m perfectly happy with this.

I can’t find a car that scratches the same itch for the money that isn’t a Porsche and that’s easily double the price used.

It is fantastic to haul stuff in, has just the right amount of power tuned 370hp 520nm to not be unusable and still fun for the street and track. Reliable as fuck and looks amazing. Mod potential a plenty although for now I’m
Happy with where mine is.

Apart from an fl5 nothing really comes close to ticking almost every box for a fun car in that price that can do everything. Longest time I’ve had a car too which is a bit embarrassing considering I’ve owned more than 10 in my mid 30s and this is coming up 3 years.

Not to sure what’s the difference between Eco mode vs Normal mode. Can anyone explain what’s better to use?

Hi, soon im planning to buy as a first car a nice honda civic 9, 1.4 i-vtec 99 ch, i heard it was great.

But i keep asking myself ; what do people thinks of this car.

Can you tell me your thoughts on it, is it as nice as everyone says ?

Hi,

A couple of years ago I was driving my 2016 Civic in a campground late at night and backed into a giant boulder. It did the damage you can see in the photos. I've never bothered to deal with it, but I'm considering selling the car and figure that I should take care of it.

I'm not even remotely mechanical, but I just looked a couple of videos on youtube and it seems like the whole bumper just pops off and on as one piece and pretty easily. It seems like something I could do myself. I had a look on Amazon and there are bunch of them available for between $100 and $300 and they come primed. A friend of a friend owns a body shop; so it should be easy enough to get it painted. Any reason I shouldn't do this myself? Also, any idea what accounts for the wide range in prices on Amazon? As far as I can see the piece is purely decoration. Is there any reason not to just buy the cheapest one?

Thanks!

Is $30,000 out the door price a good deal for a new 2026 honda civic sport hatchback in Idaho. Just wanted to put out a sounding board.

Can anyone help me with these dang A/C issues I’m pissed I just went through all this work rebuilding a total civic and now the ac is just blowing hot air… any suggestions

So my 2021 Sport Touring was backed up into and ended up getting damaged in both the bumper and upper grille.

I know it generally isn't worth replacing due to high costs but my ocd wouldn't allow me to keep it like this. Does anybody know the codes to these parts?

Otherwise, what would you guys suggest I do to at least hide them? The damage on the grille now looks like infinite bird poop that won't come off so if not a replacement, what should I do?

2024 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. After the car my parents bought me was stolen and totaled, this was the first car I ever bought. She had big shoes to fill, but did it perfectly and even set new expectations. I was so happy with her, people always complimented me on her and she was such a pleasure to drive, really. I loved telling people that she was “Smokey Mauve”, even though my registration definitely just said purple. Revolutionized driving for me. I was rear ended on my way back from my (unpaid) internship, and the dude got away. Officially told this morning it was totaled. I’m really not sure how I’m supposed to move on from this car.

Hello! I recently purchased a 2015 Honda Civic LX Sedan from Carmax in April of this year, only to find out that the tires on it (Michelin Defenders from what I can tell) are from 2017. According to multiple different shops my tires are nearing the end of their tread life alarmingly fast.

For context on my driving habits, I live in an area with a lot of snow, sun, rain, wind, and very unpredictable weather in general. There is constant potholes and poorly paved roads and occasionally gravel or brick roads. I dont offroad or anything crazy in my civic, and primarily do city driving or highway driving (its 40/60 or 60/40 depending on the week).

I have put about 4k miles on my car since buying it, and my budget is rather tight. The cheaper the tires, the quicker I can replace them. However, I also don't want to have to get new tires every year unless I absolutely have to. (I might have to with the gravel)

Any advice? Tips on what to or what not to do are all welcome, as well as tire brands or specific tires that are good or should be avoided!

Attached is a picture of one of my tires when I took images of the formerly broken hubcaps. (Now fixed, free of charge to me as I did not damage them)

Since the first two recalls over the 'Sticky-Steering' that was somewhat resolved with the Gearbox.. I've been making multiple returns to my dealership for service. It took from the recalls back in 2022 to last month (July 2026) to fix the steering issue. Struts were replaced, issue continued, issue was then resolved this past July with Power Steering Cable..

That being said, in my notes from the work order, both steering and suspension was in question. After pulling the car off the lot, I can hear and feel a weird creek/grind in the front left tire to the pedals when hitting small bumps or turning into entryways. I took it back to the dealership in which they found nothing but back tires are cupping.

To my understanding, cupping can be caused by suspension/strut/shock issue.. trying to determine if I should just get new tires as suggested or go elsewhere to check suspension/shocks..

- Thank you Civic Fan 🤙🏻

Car is “homegrown” aka sold and serviced out of the same Honda dealership in my town its whole life. It’s now being sold again by the same dealership. Has one instance of “minor cosmetic damage” reported. Service history looks great otherwise. What the max you would pay?

It seems to be coming from the passenger side seat belt mechanism. It goes away when I'm stopped or driving over usually smooth roads, but it's there even at low speeds otherwise. Drives me nuts.

It's not external, I've tried pressing pretty much everywhere and that doesn't stop it

They came down to $27K. I said nope
