This engine is kind of pokey, though the continuously variable transmission is refined and well behaved, fading into the background most of the time. Like the base LX, the Sport uses Honda's naturally aspirated 2.0-liter I4, with 158 horsepower and 138 pound-feet of torque. Steven Ewing/RoadshowĪrguably the biggest difference between the Civic Sport and other models is what's under the hood. The base 2.0-liter engine is a little dull, but it'll be fine for most drivers. Automatic high-beams, a rear seat reminder and traffic sign recognition are also included, though weirdly, blind-spot monitoring doesn't become available until you step up to the Civic EX, and the Touring adds cross-traffic monitoring to that functionality, as well.
The good news is that the Sport doesn't skimp on driver-assistance technologies, with lane-keeping assist, full-speed adaptive cruise control and Honda's Traffic Jam Assist that combines the aforementioned functions fitted to every Civic as standard.
You can't get Honda's cool new 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster, either, though LX, Sport and EX trims do have a 7-inch, left-side screen in the instrument panel, which defaults to a tachometer but can show all sorts of pertinent info instead. The Civic Touring's larger 9-inch screen isn't available, nor is its wireless smartphone pairing.

Wired connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, thankfully, even if it looks decidedly dinky on that 7-inch display. Like the base LX and midrange EX, the Civic Sport has a 7-inch color touchscreen multimedia system, with a rudimentary infotainment package that's. The one downside to the Civic Sport is that you can't get all of the Touring's best tech. The Sport's cloth seats are super comfy and the rest of the interior is top-notch.
