Nothing really.
The Honda Civic Sport is a very nice car to drive. It is very comfortable even over long periods of driving. It looks great, has alloys, I have the 17 inch ones and they are very nice. You also get indicators on the wing mirrors too!
The car handles very well compared with my Peugeot 206 before. The car sticks to the road around corners and roundabouts.
Inside there is plenty of room and a sizable boot. The back seats have a flat floor! You also get climate control which isn't truly digital but if you switch the controls to auto you can then set the temp and it works very well. Air conditioning keeps you nice and cool too!
Sounds system is reasonable, I think you can buy add-ons for it from Honda etc if you wish.
Remote central locking is useful with a CAT1 alarm. The lights are good too, they are projector lights and light up the road very well.
The engine is only a 1.6 VTEC but this is a SOHC vtec so not a high rev engine. However I do I find it has a reasonable amount of power and suit my needs fine. Fuel consumption is also very good averaging around 42-45 on most journeys.
One niggle though would be that there is no dashboard icon light to show that you headlights are on.
