This vehicle is a stylish and sporty trim of the 10th generation Civic offering a balance of performance and practicality. Did you know these facts about it? 1. THE SPORT TRIM HAS AN UPGRADED EXHAUST SOUND Unlike the base LX trim it features a center-mounted exhaust with a slightly throatier sound giving it a sportier feel. 2. IT'S HEAVIER THAN THE BASE MODEL Due to added features and styling elements the Sport trim weighs about 100 lbs more than the base LX model which slightly affects acceleration but improves stability. 3. NO TURBO BUT STILL FUN Unlike the EX and Touring trims which have a 1.5L turbocharged engine the Sport trim keeps the naturally aspirated 2.0L 4-cylinder (158 hp 138 lb-ft torque). However it has re-tuned throttle response for a slightly sportier drive. 4. IT COMES WITH PADDLE SHIFTERS (CVT MODELS ONLY) With the CVT (automatic) version it includes steering-wheel-mounted paddle shifters letting you simulate gear shifts for a more engaging experience. 5. IT HAS A DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER BUT ONLY ON CERTAIN MODELS The manual transmission version of the Civic Sport does not include a fully digital speedometer like other trims; it sticks with analog dials and a digital driver display. 6. THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHIFT KNOB ARE LEATHER WRAPPED Unlike the base model the Sport trim adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob giving it a more premium feel. 7. IT HAS A SLIGHTLY LOWER RIDE HEIGHT The Sport trim sits 0.4 inches lower than the LX due to its 18-inch alloy wheels giving it a more aggressive stance. 8. IT'S ONE OF THE MOST FUEL-EFFICIENT IN ITS CLASS Despite being a sporty trim the 2021 Civic Sport gets up to 37 MPG highway making it more efficient than some rivals like the Toyota Corolla SE.
