I’m honestly so sad about my car. I just bought my 2026 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hybrid in June, and it only had about 6,000 km on it when this happened. I absolutely loved this car and was so excited about it, so seeing it like this has been awful.

There was a three-car chain reaction accident in front of me. I had basically made it to a stop, but unfortunately made contact in the front with the hitch of the truck in front of me.

Then, while I was stopped from that collision, a Dodge Ram hit me hard from behind and pushed my Civic forward again, leaving me sandwiched between the two trucks. The Ram also ended up with a pretty significant dent in the front from hitting my car. So the whole accident ended up being a five-car chain reaction.

The rear of my Civic ended up pretty badly damaged.
Insurance is now sending it to an autobody shop, and their preliminary estimate is around $18,800 CAD in repairs. Their paperwork says the car is currently considered repairable up to about $31,500.

The estimate also says they aren’t ordering parts yet because the shop still needs to tear the vehicle down and properly inspect everything. So right now, they don’t really know the full extent of the damage or whether there’s additional hidden damage underneath.

I know nobody can say for sure from pictures, but I’m curious what people who work in autobody or insurance think. Does this look like something that will realistically be repaired, or is there a decent chance the cost goes up significantly once they start taking it apart?

As sad as I am about the car, part of me is kind of hoping it ends up being written off if the damage is extensive enough. I’ve heard from a lot of people that having a car repaired after this much damage can come with its own issues, and that honestly makes me nervous too. Mostly I just hate the idea of my basically brand new car never feeling quite the same again :(

Yes I know it’s up to what I like, I’m wondering what you guys think

27,990 sticker they are discounting 850 which i feel like could be better 0 down 409 1500 down 363 2000 down 349 what can i do to get them to lower the price a little bit more so i dont have to put money down

Hey guys. Ive messaged a few dealers but the best I’ve gotten is $33,000OTD with taxes for a blue civic hybrid. Also seems everyone is pushing $600 honda packages under different names for the nitrogen filled wheels, wheel locks (which I don’t want), mud guards, and a trunk tray. Anyone recently got a better OTD deal in Georgia?

Type - 231

Let's assume you get this for $10,000 (USD or CAD whatever) off the sale price. Would you take it!

Hey all, just got this brand new 2026 civic sport hybrid a few weeks ago. Overall, I am LOVING the car! Looks amazing, and coming off a 2003 Corolla it feels very new and fancy and I am very thankful and grateful for what I have purchased.

Now, this was my first time buying new, and I didn’t really know the touring trim existed and what it came with until I had signed everything. They never tried to upsell me at the dealership, I’m kinda blown away loll!

So now the only thing I’m regretting is knowing there is a way better sound system that exists out there. I could go without the leather seats and whatnot (I actually like my rims much better) but the music listener in me is slightly crying.

I’m trying not to think about it too much but it’s like a little itch in the back of my mind. With that being said, does anyone have recommendations on ways to improve the sound system on the standard sport trim? New speakers? Can you put a sub/amp in a hybrid?

Would love to hear people’s thoughts on the audio who have heard both.

Hey everyone, long time lurker here haha. I’m looking to buy my first car and after a lot of research I settled on the civic. Specifically the type on the title of the post. I went to Capitol Honda and they quoted me a price of $39846 OTD. I figured it was too high and tried to negotiate lower but they wouldn’t budge so I walked out. I figured they’d call me after to negotiate again but come to find out the only one they had was bought the day after my visit 😭 So now I have to wait which I don’t mind.

I have a couple questions though, is stock limited for this exact trim? I asked around and a lot of dealerships in the area either have only 1 available or they’re waiting for a delivery. I asked Milpitas Honda and apparently boost blue in that trim is “extremely rare” and it’s “hard to get a discount for that rare color.” Is this true at all?

I’m wondering if there are any boost blue 2026 civic STH hatchback owners here from the Bay Area that can provide their OTD price and also which dealership they went to. I’m going to Fremont Honda later today so I’m wondering what number I should negotiate to.

Appreciate any help!

hi all, just trying to research for my next car. i always see these light blue honda civics around town and i’m obsessed with the color, but can’t find much on it. is it custom? it only seems available in some of the sport hatchbacks

Hi all, I wanna buy a honda civic 2010 ex(175k mileage) for daily commute and occassional road tour(10 to 12 hour). Is it going to be a good buy? I heard that after long ride with this type of car, there is some repair needs to be done. Is it true?any user of civic 2010 can confirm this? Thanks in advance.

Not sure what kind of front lip to add to my car 😅 links or advice would be much appreciated

Hey all, my current vehicle, a 2014 Ford Fusion SE, is starting to get up there in mileage (162k, and current commute is 20k~ miles a year) and I’ve been eyeing the Honda Civic Hatchbacks for a while now as my replacement option since I know I’ll want to upgrade sooner rather than later.

However, I have never had the luxury of buying a new car outright before. I come from a low-income family and even when I financed my current vehicle starting in 2019 (paid off last year, 6 year finance) it wasn’t new off the lot. Everything I’ve done research-wise for the Civic Hatchbacks I’m looking at says that it’s best to just buy new at this point instead of used because the price difference isn’t large enough since people are keeping their used ones, and the upsides in the long run such as having dealer warranties make buying new a better choice.

My question to you all, I suppose, is if there is a specific time of year I should be waiting until to purchase? I’m open to both a ‘26 or a ‘27 model, and I’m not in a rush to buy, although I’d like to purchase it in the next 6~ months if possible. I know there are occasional holiday deals and apparently dealers trying to sell the previous year models around the time of year. Also, is it worth it to trade in my used Ford at a dealership instead of trying to sell it on my own? I’ve never owned a vehicle to trade in before so I’m pretty new to that process.

Any additional tips or advice on what to look for would be EXTREMELY helpful - thank you!!

Anyone getting dealer discounts on the new 2026 Civic Sport Hybrid (non-Touring)? If so, how much off MSRP did you get?

I'm trying to decide between the Sport Hybrid and regular gas Sport. A few dealers I've talked to are offering around $1,000 off the gas model, bringing selling price to about $26,000 before taxes and fees but so far none are willing to discount the hybrid.

Located in California

Curious what everyone else is paying?

2019 Hatchback

Noticed today that my passenger side dash trim is slightly popped out, no clue when or how this would’ve happened. I can pop it in, but I’m more concerned with the thumb wheel for adjusting the air flow, it’s strangely pushed to the left and rubbing against the inside of the cutout, making it harder to spin. What do you guys make of this?

hi everyone, i bought my civic sport last month and everything has been great but unfortunately something scratched the hood of my car 🥲

(pls ignore the dust.. i left it sitting for a day and it got dirty)

anyways, i knew purchasing a black car would lead to me noticing every little scratch but i wanted to ask what’s the best route to go to remove these little scratches? i’ve already noticed 3 of them in 3 different spots and they’re all smooth scratches. any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks! 🫶🏻
