I was reaching the end of a lease term on my ‘18 LX sedan and decided to do a little shopping. Tried out an EX as well as a red Sport—had my heart set on that one but after what seemed like an eternity at the dealership I couldn’t get the numbers I wanted.
The following day I hit another nearby dealership to inquire about a Sport. Turned out they had one in stock, but they couldn’t sell it at the moment as it was being prepped to go sit at the auto show this weekend. After a little more research it turned out they had a ‘21 Sport in Sonic Gray that had just come off the truck and was still wrapped in plastic and styrofoam. The dealer inspection hasn’t even happened yet. They took off the plastic and did their inspection before handing it over to me for a test drive, so that’s what I did.

Immediately fell in love with it and brought it back to work up numbers. Spent another four to five hours working up figures and saying hell with sleep before going to work later that night.
Finally, just as they were ready to lock up for the night I finalized the deal!
Owned my share of Civics over the years but this is finally a big upgrade that looks closer to something I’ve dreamed of. The color really grew on me quick. Can’t stop looking back at it!
(a few pictures from this evening. Not even 100 miles yet!)
First on the agenda is getting those windows tinted. It’s a must I’m pretty sure. Then after that? Unlimited potential. Can’t wait to get started!
