10 Things You Need to Know About the 2016 Honda Civic 

I actually liked the back. I notice them all the time in traffic and I'm like "that's my car alright"

The tail lights was one of the biggest selling points for me to get one I love them they stand out in traffic

That’s I liked about it

+Autos Fan Have not driving one yet, but I had a 2012 for 4 years and it was extremely far from 'fun to drive'.

+wantsanewvehicle that's because you had a different car...

Littleathquakes yeah, but there has never been a Honda that did anything more than move people from point a to b boringly. Has it changed? Very highly doubt it.

+wantsanewvehicle Have you ever driven an S2000, or a Civic Si? They have some cars that have been very fun, from what I understand this new Civic has a more sporty suspension and the engine is a lot quicker with that low-mid range torque from the turbo. I don't think the 9th gen civic was a very good example though, Honda has rested on laurels because they didn't need to try. Now this generation is them actually making an effort.

AzulKari I have driven a couple si's, I was not all that impressed. Yes, better than the civic.. but not by much. Interior quality/materials are still the same junk.

we need that type r to hit america!! then I'll be happy and I'll go from my Acura RL to that!

+Brian Lee. but how? everytime I go they have no idea when it's coming out

True even I drive at 160kms soon smooth

Hopefully the si looks better than this

Kregz Syb I spend 3 days with a brand new Civic and the design grew on me. Its in a different league than the last generation Civic. Its way more refined, handles better and gets better gas mileage. The interior is also miles ahead of the last generation Civic, its bigger looks better and is built better. The seats are also a huge improvement. I didn't like the design of the Civic until I had one for 3 days. It was even a base 2016 LX that I had. My 2013 LX has no where near the same amount of standard equipment.

+Bryan Doherty you make nissans sound better

+Bry . an Doherty "

+Bryan Doherty There only 500 si in China.

May I ask if you still like it

+chocolate milk What's wrong with that?

Hey cargo pants are great for utility lol

txmoney I don’t like the EX rims. They look outdated but there other trims have really good looking rims

Wils why is torque a problem? Considering 2016 civic or accord

Loll

but the seats are not well bolstered :( front seats are no fun to sit in.

The driver seat is extremely comfortable, but the passenger seat is too low and not as good.

i wish the driver felt like sitting "in" the seat and not "on" the seat. its too small

I'd still prefer to drive a Standard

+sirgrundel same

cool story bro

depends on the car, I've had many people frown at me because I bought an Automatic on my old 99 Firebird instead of a stick, most anyone looking for a "sporty" car wants a stick.

+sirgrundel Yeah, cheaper and it has a backup camera anyways just plastic covered rims.

I've seen on one forum where a guy claimed to be getting 50 highway on the 2016, but I don't believe any numbers till I experience them myself.

DanielRichards644 it's not easy to get 46.5 mpg on my 2014 you have to drive under 60 mph on cruse control I can only get those number when I drive long distance.

John Doe honestly as long as the rated numbers are the MINIMUM you will see this new civic would be worth it to buy when I'm at that point next year when the house is finished and i can afford one, my brothers wife just got the 2016 EX-T on Tuesday my current daily driver gets about 15 MPG so even with just doubling the fuel mileage on my work days (and still driving the gas guzzler on the weekend) I will save enough on fuel to pay the insurance cost on the new car.

How much did you pay for it?

@@olandomartin5216 depends where you arw currently in Philippines i buy it for more than 1M

@@RheyF Oh ok thanks

rheys Adventures oh you got money money 😭

@@luvliamarie Lol you can own one too love

Have you been in one? Its very comfortable.

+JUKEBOXX1990 Not yet but I will when I do my test drive in early 2016. But several online car reviewers commented that they wished the new Civic had lumbar support on the front seats. Comments about comfort have varied but most have been positive and that is reassuring.

+Zach Simpson Thanks for your excellent reply! Much appreciated! One or two RU-vid Civic reviewers said they were disappointed with the lack of lumbar support in the car while the Accord does have it on the higher end models (if not all of them). Anyhow, I do a lot of long distance trips and seat comfort is VERY important to me and glad you find the Civic's seats comfortable. I am only 5' 10" and currently drive a larger car (a 1998 Camry) and like the roominess and the large gas tank. The new Civic gets high marks for many things including the roominess for the model. And as far as the smaller gas tank (less than 14 gallons), I can live with that but will have to fill up a bit sooner than before. Anyhow, I will do my test drives this spring and then go from there. (I had a 1986 Accord LX for 11 years and it is probably the BEST car that I have owned with the Camry second.)

+Doug Celeste I've had a Civic Touring model for about two weeks. First, I think it looks terrible in the color shown in this video. Mine is black/black and I've already had a half-dozen people ask me if they could look at the interior. It's a nice looking vehicle, maybe just not for everyone. Also, I find the seating very comfortable. I traded a 1998 Accord EX-L for the Civic, and the new car sits just as comfortably. I think the lack of lumbar support is offset by the seat design - it just sort of "hugs" you, you feel very secure and protected. I get it with the 14 gallon tank, but remember, if Honda is right about their gas mileage, you're looking at a range of over 500 miles between fill-ups, that's not too shabby. I have not taken a long trip in it yet, but it's fine around town. I'm also not seeing the 35/41 mpg yet, but that's probably not fair with only 600 miles on it. I am averaging just over 30 mpg, though, and I'm happy with that, I know it will improve. Visit your Honda dealer (I'm not one!), if you're serious about buying see if they will let you take it overnight and try it for yourself - you might like it. I LOVE it!

+Bill Paul GREAT reply and thanks so much, Bill! Sounds like you really LOVE your new car which is great!!! I was considering the silver color for the new Civic Touring but then I got a BIG shock yesterday when I found out that the new Civic does NOT have a cd player even though the Accord still does. And please note that I do not have the tech devices to hook up to play music in this car and I am not tech savvy. Anyhow, I am now looking again at the Accord Sport which was originally the car I was really considering since I am a former Accord owner. Sure, it does not have all the "bells and whistles" of the Civic Turbo but does have enough for what I really need in a car AND the larger gas tank which I really like, esp. on my long road trips. And yes, your gas mileage should improve as you break the car in. Finally, not sure where you live but I have NEVER had a car dealership let me take a test drive overnight and so consider yourself VERY fortunate that you found one that did just that. So for now, Happy Driving! (And P.S.: Your name reminded me of the 70's singer, Billy Paul, but I bet people tell you that all the time.)

+Bob Bill The footage of the LCD screen (navigation and the other stuff) are taken from somewhere else, it's not actually his. Maybe an ad or something. Because he mentioned in the video that the car he is reviewing doesn't have that option.

+Bob Bill Ontario is also a place in California. Ontario in Canada has blue licence plate, compared to the red one shown here.

+MrAbduzz The red plate shown in this video is a regular series Ontario Canada dealer plate. The blue Ontario plates are passenger plates.

Mines an lx with that same screen

+KylexSheppard I dont believe you

hahaha those were the good old days - when a Civic would max out at 20k. Now they start at 20k.

+pedrof830 I hear that! You have to step down to the Fit to get anywhere close to that. Seems like the price of everything has doubled, but we are all making the same thing we were 15 years ago.

1guyin10 Well, not ALL of us, but the majority of us, I live in a lower middle class condo and the parking lot has never had as many older model cars before as it does now, I think it says a lot.

+pedrof830 Agree, this Civic is way too expensive.

I'm planning on getting the civic but the Fit is not bad, I think is the best car you can get for under 20k

+12799MaDeuce 2016 way better my friend.

+Jeff Spehar sounds like they're pulling off a 2013→2014 instant facelift lol

+Paultwice22 Agree, I like the looks of the Mazda3/Corolla S more.

+vader11111 I like the Mazda 3 but concerned about road noise and reliability.

+Tien Ha The road noise is not that bad and they have improved a lot on reliability.

+Paultwice22 me neither man, that kills it. It makes the decision difficult. If id had another type of rear I'd get it in a heartbeat.

Feeling the rear end just not the front

your wish came true on the mazda3!
