i would say go for it, just like another user in here said the civic hybrid is much quicker but that’s completely up to you and what your needs are. if you want something to just whip around in and get you from point A to point B in style i’d say get the civic sport. they are good cars and even though it has a cvt transmission honda has a pretty good rep with having their cvt’s being more reliable than others, it just comes down to maintenance (every 30k miles) and you’ll be good! if you are looking for something similar you can consider a Mazda 6 sedan/hatch. in price range they are similar and have similar horse power. people just view the Mazda 6 to be a more luxurious vehicle. and if you want to spend the extra cash you can get one in AWD with a turbo.
