The online car mag reviews have been all over the place. I don't recall seeing such divergent reviews before. In general, they all have their favorites and preferences, but I find that they mainly all agree whether a car is good or is bad. Check this out:

Car and Driver on the hybrid brakes:
There are six (!) driver-selectable regeneration levels that range from normal to nearly one-pedal driving. Oddly, although we prefer high regen in EVs, here, applying the brakes the usual way seems more natural. It's a satisfying way to go too, because Honda's engineers did a masterful job of blending the regenerative and friction braking systems to deliver consistent brake feel. It's not an unsatisfying pedal you'd be happy to avoid.
Motor Trend on the hybrid brakes:
Still, we strongly recommend using as much regenerative braking as you can so you can avoid using the pedal as much as possible. It's completely spongy and has no discernible relationship between how far you push it and stopping power. This is how hybrid brakes felt 15 years ago, and it's shocking Honda's gone backward on an already-solved problem.

A forced-induction engine that size would probably use enough fuel to be subject to the Federal Gas-Guzzler Tax.....like the Shelby Super-Snake Cobra Mustangs and MoPar Hellcat and Demon Hemi Chargers and Challengers.

Yeah and the ability to have good proportions is one benefit of small engines. Look at Volvos, they are transverse FWD and they look RWD for this reason...

Uh so? I don't see an issue there. My best cars have that tax on them
