2017 honda civic LX feels heavier all of a sudden
I'm not sure if I'm being paranoid or if something is actually wrong, but I was driving one day and randomly noticed that the car felt heavier. By that I mean that it takes longer to accelerate and when I take my foot off the gas pedal it slows down a lot faster and somewhat drags. It's nothing super drastic to the point where it's hard for me to drive, I'm just wondering why this is happening? I always keep it in drive and I occasionally drive in econ. My friend has a 2014 honda civic and his does not have the same feeling so I'm not sure if it's me or the car.
Any response helps, thank you.

Not with these new electronic e-brakes.
Sounds like you just may be in a hot climate, and the car is reacting to it by retarding ignition timing in an effort to save the engine. When ambient temperatures outside get high , with high humidity and higher barometric pressure, the car will react differently than in other conditions.
Try driving it on a cooler day, and see if anything changes. Make sure you're running good, fresh fuel, also.
