Sure, it ain't cheap...but is the Honda Civic RS e:HEV four-door perfection?

We loved the turbo-powered Civic RS, but has Jim found something better in the pricier and electrified hybrid variant?
Honda's i-MMD system offers many of the perks of driving a fully electric car with seemingly so little downside that it's now making his job of nitpicking a car very difficult!

Just dropped by to say I have one, and I love it. Two months in, and I'm a happy camper. Only thing I wished they improved was the insulation. Because the engine is so quiet, quite a bit of tyre roar intruded into the cabin. But for all the other pluses of the car, it's a trade off I am happy to make. If you guys have any questions, go ahead and ask. I'll try to answer as truthfully as I can.

@@aizekpersonal6389 Yeah, actually that's one more thing I wish was improved. Thanks for the reminder. Full leather seats would have of course been better. But so far, no issues yet. There are auto detailers out there that are offering reupholstering the seats to full leather. Maybe something to consider after a few years.

With you on the tyre noise point. It's a pretty quiet cabin with good refinement qualities but could use a chunkier sound deadening material around wheel wells.

2023 Civic RS e.HEV got a space saver spare tyre. Rare for an electrified sedan. Its downside is the Direct Fuel Injection which is prone to carbon build up on the valves.

Will they bring in the Corolla Hybrid or bring in the latest Prius(wishful thinking). But they need to bring the 5th Gen Hybrid with the 2.0mill to even stand a chance.

@@syafiqhusni9309 Wow, you are triggered by a poor resale value comment. If you know maths, you'll know that the total cost of vehicle ownership is purchase price minus resale value plus cost of maintenance, repair and petrol. Whether you like it or not, resale value is a HUGE component of the total cost of owning a vehicle. And like I said earlier, if money is no object to you, then total cost of ownership doesn't matter. Resale value may not be problem to you, but labelling it nonsensical and archiac is disrespectful to the rest of us who matters.

@@tenka__ if you brake boost it, it will stay constant, if not from factory, no. e:HEV systems require fluctuations in this case, the programmed shifting to prevent itself from overheating from constantly being hammered at full throttle. If not, in city driving it’s perfectly silent and behaves like a typical toyota hybrid.
