Thanks @Palmer8 - it's fantastic so far. Zero complaints. Yes it's weird the hybrid hasn't yet made it to the US. It's a great car that I cannot fault and I can imagine there's plenty of demand in the US for the thing.
On a side note. there are very few 11th gen Civics on the road here in Aus. It's considered overpriced (fixed price agency model) and Honda hasn't done a great job explaining to the market that the brand is moving up-market to compete with entry-level BMWs and Audis etc. Oddly, for Australia Honda only offers the highest trim level of both the turbo petrol and hybrid varieties. One trim level only for each. The hybrid gets the works - sunroof, Bose sound system, leather seats, full digital display etc, making it the better value of the two. The turbo petrol lacks all those things and also omits parking sensors (crazy decision).
