Most people have forgotten the sheer joy of driving a small, sporty car with a manual transmission. Almost none of them under about 30 will ever know. I learned to drive on an old Celica with a five speed and while it was bog slow compared to today's cars it was so much fun in the mountains where I lived.

I bought one last month. Love driving it at night, feels like you’re in a spaceship with that dash. It definitely does feel deceiving big lol. It just amazes me how far Honda has come over the years perfecting their cars over time

I bought mine on Memorial Day and it’s literally so fun convenient and gives you plenty of comfort. Lemme tell you tho, when the turbo kicks in you can really feel it😂 my hatchback handles like a dream.

I just bought one and I love it! It is the first brand new car I have ever bought. I plan on keeping it for years and years.

Joe you nailed it in this review! I picked up mine in March. Identical to your test car but in Aegean Blue. Definitely the best car I've ever owned. I had a 98 Civic EX coupe. 2005 Subaru Legacy. 2014 Accord Sport sedan. All with manual transmissions. And this is definitely the most fun. Loves to rev. Has VTEC. No turbo worries. Great ride and handling. And the value for the price is incredible.

Great car with great history. Thank Honda they still have the manual transmission option. Those wheels reminds me of the wheels from the NSX. Beautiful bodylines and overall design. Love it.

Which do you think is more reliable? 2020 Civic LX, Corolla L, Impreza Convenience, or Elantra Essential? They all have CVT. Should we consider Manual? Is anyone good enough to buy, or should we just lease? We need very reliable AC . We were leaning toward the Civic but they have big AC problems.

It's a Honda, and has a 6 spd. manual transmission, no CVT, how can it, "not", be a great value, @ $22,000.00 Functioning front air vent, for horn noise decibel amplification... "Genius"!! Prop Rod, a true traditional Honda standard item! 😁 Sounds Awesome! Interior is great for what your getting for your money! Nice under dash cubby area for the your concealed carry, "OH, Nevermind"! 🙄 Simple business side, however, I'd like to see a flat bottom steering wheel, for I would need the leg space for clutch pedal travel...
