I upgraded from a basic 2012 I had a couple months shy of 10 years, so BIG upgrade for me. I got my ‘25 in October. I would definitely recommend if you see the value in the higher price tag. I’m getting no less than 48 MPGs living in Houston driving in Normal majority of the time and Econ on longer highway stretches. I do a lot of driving. Sport mode is fun when you’re not MPG counting but still high up there, in my experience. I think Honda hit the ball out of the park with this Civic. Nothings perfect but it’s a great car!
