I've owned my Sport 2.0T 6spd for a year now. Some thoughts:

I love the engine. Plenty fast for me when I want to let loose.
The shifter is definitely not as sporty as other Hondas I've owned. Don't get me wrong it's still good, but I want something sportier. I plan on upgrading with Acuity shifter parts.
I love the interior. Just enough creature comforts for me as a daily driver. Any more and I'd feel like I'd be paying for features I don't value.
The screen is great - it has Honda's updated interface with Android Auto. I have a volume knob!
I do think Honda overachieved with the design and finish of the centre console area.
Tons of room in the backseats. I have 2 car seats in the back.
My commute is 90% highway. I average around 8.3L/100km. I can easily do better if I really want to.
The sound system is very meh. But I mostly listen to podcasts and the news. Not blasting EDM like I was 10 years ago.
My car is a 2018 model, so first year of this current generation. One year and 19k kms later, and my only issue was condensation in a taillight housing.

What I valued was a sedan with space in the trunk and back, something sporty with 6spd, and a nice modern interior. And of course reliability, fuel economy, price, etc.
This car ticks all those boxes for me so I felt compelled to make this my first brand new purchase.

I'd be happy to help if you had any more questions.
