Lease term would be 36 months, 10,000 mi/year.

$2,700 down — $327/month
They said this is a “lease special.” After reading through Leasehackr, I realized I should not put money down. I did not ask for a quote for that scenario. Unsure if I would still get the special price if I put $0 down?

Welcome to LH.
Honda leases are bad these days. It is better to buy/finance and sell it after 4 to 5 years. They keep the value.
Look at Marketplace and see what deal you can get from one of the brokers.

Also, if you need just the commuter i would look for different options.

There’s no point trying to hack a car if it is not hackable.

So what if OP really wants the Civic Sport Hatchback and is just looking for the best deal on a lease?
This kind of autoreply “advice” time and time again is not at all helpful.

He can reach out to the brokers and see what they can offer or find better deal by himself.
Long time no see!
Don’t worry I am going to have my profile name changed…probably to “The Honda Guy”! I am not very creative!
While I THOUROGHLY enjoyed my time at Brooklyn Jeep, the commute from Middle Island to Brooklyn (75 miles each way!) six days a week was just too much.
My original GM at Volvo, offered me a job at his Honda store. That being said, lets move some metal!
2025 Honda CRV -LX AWD
CRV EX AWD
CRV EXL
CRV Hybrid Sport
CRV Hybrid Sport - L
CRV Hybrid Sport Touring …
My question was rhetorical and in response to the “advice” above it, but yes, OP certainly can reach out to brokers or seek a deal himself.

LOL, agree, there is no magic here. Someone needs to do the leg work.
Invoice on that car is 27310
holdback is 546
For a great deal, target a selling price of $26,764.

A $900 reduction in selling price still won’t make it a great lease. It will be a good purchase though
