2019 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback - Turbo Hatchback Fun!! 

I thought Gary Coleman was dead?!?!?!

just bought this today.......crystal black.....shiny AF......turbo a lot of fun.....gas mileage is great......it has every option i would ever need.....very happy with purchase

This time shift isn’t helping! Sorry that the video got dark at the end! We’re running out of light! Lol

Got one in Lunar Silver Metallic. It's a blast to drive in and responds very well. I got the automatic CVT version, with somewhat noticeable lag, but once the engine kicks in, it KICKS. Love this model!

I have to say, i really enjoy this reviewer! I've been on the fence about the new Honda civics but this is really pushing me to it! Consider me a new fan to this small, but more genuine seeming reviewer.

I must say one of the best and comprehensive review.

Great video! Thanks for taking the time to show small details (like a close up of the steering wheel and even every button on the centre console). Hope to see more videos as your channel grows 😀

Very nice job !!! Don’t let the negative comments get you down ! I found it helpful to me because I just purchased this vehicle and you answered most of my questions. God Bless and keep up the good work young Man 🙏🙏

Worth watching the temperature gauge when you start to check car warmed up before having the turbo kick in. It also has a kick from the V-tech engine when revs are up.

I have one and it definitely sounds best when in the lower RPMs. Such a nice deep growl

Drove this a few days ago. I liked it. My only minor gripe is that I wish it had a driver oriented center stack like the HRV. I also found the skirts/bumper at the bottom would scrape the ground as I drove in and out of my inclined driveway, if I didn't drive slow enough. Other than that, I like this vehicle. Thanks so much for posting this video.

Great review. Thank you for taking the time to make this.

Screw the CVT trans. This fine vehicle is meant for a manual transmission.

Nice review! Helped out a ton with my decision making. Keep it up!

Wow, this review must be the best one I've watched. Great stuff bro!

great video man! much respect you did a great job describing the car.

Been shopping for one lately and after having watched so many other videos, yours was a nice find. I like how you went over the styling details, I’m with you on liking the rear look. Fun review!

Love it. Have the 6MT 2017 and it's a great daily driver. With mainly highway driving I get 40 MPG. The one good thing about the low-end infotainment system is you can control it with gloved hands in winter. It's comfortable, drives well, accelerates well, reliable. Not a "cough" from it since I bought it-and I drive 30K miles a year in NE winters.

You got a lot of potential bro, I see you blowing up by next year

I just bought the blue model of this car. It's sweet and fun to drive.

Planning on getting the red with smoked out/tinted rear lights

This car looks really good in red

Well done. I find I agree with many of your thoughts on the details, and you cover the things I want to know.

I thoroughly enjoyed your test drive impressions, especially the WOW!! I test drove that same exact trim level in the Civic Hatchback and I did the "WOW", also! It's a fun car to drive. I never knew what that meant, as cars I've driven in the past (11 between my husband's and mine) had a stable ride, decent handling, were comfortable, good in snow, etc., but not necessarily all that exciting. This Civic is definitely Not Boring to drive!! The only thing I disliked about the car is that the seats are so low. One article I read said a person would have to do the limbo to get out of the seat, and yeah, I had to hoist myself up and then out. I'm going to investigate if power seats (in another trim level) would lift me up higher than the manual lever that comes with this trim, although it'll be more dollars. We'll see. I'm currently driving a 2006 Subaru Outback (yes, I've gotten my money's worth out of this one)! But, soon enough, it'll be time to replace it and I think I may want to change it up a little (I'll miss that panoramic moonroof, though). During this past year, I've been test driving various makes and models, getting myself ready to make an intelligent decision as to what I'll be buying next. I've test driven the following 2019 vehicles: Subaru Forester, Subaru Crosstrek, Mazda3, Mazda6, Mazda CX-5, Toyota Corolla, Toyota RAV4, Toyota C-HR, Honda CR-V, and Honda Civic Hatchback Sport. A few of them I drove twice in order to get a better comparison settled into my mind. My favs are the Honda Civic Hatchback Sport and the Subaru Forester -- for different reasons. Before each dealership visit, I did plenty of research on the Internet and watched innumerable RU-vid reviews, but there is nothing better than going out and driving the car(s) themselves! I encourage you all to do so, as well! It's been a true learning experience to have driven all these vehicles, and fun!

Good video. Thanks. I’m considering the ex because of sunroof and bigger screen but idk about that cvt.

Very good video. Thank you for posting the first video with an actual 2019 Civic Sport Hatchback to confirm things I wanted to know. The Sport Hatchback is an awesome car for those that can't afford the Sport Touring Hatchback. I prefer the Automatic, albeit a CVT, but it works well. The 6 speed is not the best, compared to the Si and Type R, like the the WRX shifter is not an STi shifter, but there are aftermarket kits to shorten the throw travel and feel. The 6 speed is only available in the Civic Sport Touring Hatchback in Canada for some reason. And you can't buy it if you don't live in Canada due to agreements with Honda. What everyone is wishing for is the Si Hatchback, which I don't see feasible be sure the hatchback is made in the UK, and it is only feasible if Honda wants to invest in the cost to bring all the Si manufacturing equipment and parts to their UK assembly plant. That being said, the hatchback has a little more headroom in the rear seats than the sedan and coupe, due to the higher roofline. If the tires are the Continental ones, the are the original tires from the Sport Hatchback, Sport Touring Hatchback, and Si from 2017. If they are the Goidyear Eagle Sport tires, those are the optional tires on the Si, which may be standard now, and the ones that come on the new 2019 Civic Sport Sedan and Coupe. The wheels are smoke grey on the Sport Hatchback, Sport Touring Hatchback, and the Sport Sedan/Coupe, and silver on the Si and the Touring Sedan/Coupe. For 2019, I see the Sport Hatchback has the upgraded TFT instrument panel like the EX trim with read gauge lighting of the Si, but not sure if the scrollable items include some if the Si performance features. The Civic Sport Hatchback also has the Honda Sense package available on all Civic trims for 2019. The honey comb front and rear fascia panels many people complain about are only in the hatchback models and the Si Sedan. The Si coupe has the front ones, but not the rear ones. It seems on the Sport Touring Hatchback, the rear panels have what looks like rear parking sensors, or a place to put them. Maybe the rear ones could be redone aftermarket, even to dispense 007 type smoke screen, oil slicks, or OC Pepper Spray... :P The Sport Hatchback seems to have added the projector low beam headlights like the new Sport Sedan and Hatchback. The Sport Touring Hatchback is probably unchanged from the two previous model years to my knowledge, with the exception of the updated radio with the physical buttons and volume knob in the left side in many of the 2019 Honda models, depending on trim level. I prefer the Sport Hatchback unless I am able to get the Sport Touring Hatchback when it comes time to get my next vehicle, but I may not opt for the Sport Hatchback. The turbo engine is fast, with either transmission, I believe the torque on the CVT is 162 - 164, and the 6 Speed is 177, but the CVT still.pulls hard. It would be nice for the Sport Hatchback to have the full LED headlights, though you could possibly get upgraded headlight upgrade replacment bulbs to make them brighter, and whiter. Also, the turn signal lights in the outside mirrors. But, I guess they save that for the Sport Touring Hatchback. Which brings me to the reasons what I don't about the 2019 Sport Hatchback. I like almost everything about it, especially the Honda Sense, Projector low beam headlights and upgraded instrument panel as mentioned above. I don't mind the lack of electric adjustment fir the seats or dual zone for the A/C. I know they equipt this car for performance, appearance and such for a lower price but has great upgrades for 2019. They didn't upgrade the locks to the keyless entry, push button start. I can live with that, but a disappointment. The thing I am ticked off about, unless they are adding it later in the middle year, along with the lock/ignition upgrades is the radio! Because of the reverse camera, and possibly other features, it makes it impossible to upgrade, unless they make the new radio available for purchase, and upgrade to get 7" touch screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I still hate that Honda, GM and others eliminated the CD player, unlike Subaru. The 5" radio mentioned has 160 Watts and 4 speakers, no separate tweeters at the upper doors. The new updated radios I mentioned without the 12 soeakers like the Si and Touring models have 8 soeakers and 180 Watts. I can upgrade that with the Rockford Fosgate digital processor, amps, speakers, subwoofer, and auxiliary audio input also missing. The biggest gripe that has me perturbed and disenchanted is that the upgraded Goodyear tires, radio, keyless entry/push button start, especially the radio is all included in the 2019 Sport Sedan/Coupe for a much lower price than the Sport Hatchback without the mentioned items, albeit the 2.0L non turbo engine with 20 less horsepower and much less torque. I'm older, a long time techie, and auto enthusiast, but not into tuning, racing, etc., so I would only do limited upgrades, therefore, unless due to being early in the model year, those lacking update are coming later, I will probably get the Sport Sedan, which I didn't pay much attention to until I saw videos with the actual cars and like everything about them, other that preferring the hatchback for utility and looks, but I have cone to like the lower front fascia of the new Sport Sedan. The engine without the turbo has more reliability and longevity without having to warm up and cool down for the turbo. There maybe tuning available later to increase the HP to at least 20 more, like the Sport Hatchback turbo stock output. Anyway, that's my input and perspective.

i got the same of yours, unfortunately CVT :( i couldn't find the sport trim with a stick but anyway am satisfied with the car

Pretty happy the Canadian version of the sport comes with the 7 inch display and android auto.

I don't think the blacked out grille on hatchbacks is exclusive to sport and above, pretty sure all hatchbacks get it, and now even some sedans and coupe trims (the sedan and coupe refresh was really nice for 2019). EDIT: Oh shoot I spoke too soon, he corrected himself!

Just bought a white sport hatchback. Love it , great mileage . Sunroof would of been nice but it’s ok

Is the sound quality good? I personally love bass

Recently snagged myself 2019 Sport Touring Hatch.. I'm in love with it, so fun to drive especially for a daily. Had no idea about the different views for the reverse camera! "The more you know!"

In Canada you can get almost full package in the lowest trim..

great video. kind of hard to get all the info while shopping in canada. they only have 3 trims (LX, Sport, and Sport Touring) and the Sport has like 90% of the features of the Touring model. but this was a nice showcase of the new car. good content my dude.

This is probably the car I am going to get. The 2019 mazda 3 hatch 2.5 is my second choice and the 2020 corolla xse is my third choice. What features am I losing going to the sport rather than the sport touring?

I just bought a 2019 sports hatchback in Canada and it comes with basically all the touring features, such as push start, moon roof, satellite radio etc... I guess it might be different in the states? The only major differences with the sport and the touring over here is that the touring comes with a better sound system but the deck is the same, as well as a higher HP but not by much!

Great review my guy 👌

Isnt the veloster more suitable comparison than elantra

Very beautiful color , you got. Thank you for doing the first 2019 hatchback video. 😉

UK sport and sport plus only comes with LED headlights and are 1.5l 182 bhp, remapped to around 220 bhp ;)

Very good video. Thanks! 👍

i have driven one at the dealership and it really isn’t to bad I’m driving a 2014 Volkswagen Jetta se with a 1.8L turbo at 170hp and it’s pretty fast hope to get my civic soon though

Im glad I came across your channel. Great job. Subscribed! Looking forward to future reviews!

awesome vid bro! thanks!

Great overview, appreciate the video!

That’s a good looking color

Great review.. how loud is the road noise..i hate road/tire noise

Pretty car! Good video friend

Some are saying you can’t upgrade the head unit. I don’t think that’s true. Crutchfield.com sells a variety of aftermarket head units for the 2019 Sport Hatch, manual drive.

i though the 2019 civic hatch sport came with the key fob, and push to turn on button...other videos ive seen of the same model came with it

I had a quick question regarding the back lights. Does the back line strip light only turn on when you are braking while driving ? or if you parked and have the emergency brakes the back brake line strip is off ? 5:08

Idk why but I really like the old keys

Great review thanks a lot

Test drive the 1.5 last week and and a great car

Looks great

Awesome video! I wish more of your viewers actually subscribed

I saw a pearl white one on the road, it looked clean asf.

Is there an option for automatic and manual? Back seats3legally unlike the typeR right?

Does this car come with a modified cold air intake like k&n or similar

Out of interest does sport or normal version of this civic have a CD player? It's hard to find cars with CD players nowadays

does it come with a standard heated seats?

I thought you were high at first but then I realized this would be great if you actually were!

Really good review, I drive an RS (Sports Touring) Hatch in Sonic Grey. I love this little 1.5 Turbo engine coupled to the CVT. As you pointed out, it does get up and go, yes there is a little turbo lag but over all good. Also love the chassis, superb manners on the twisty bits. Another thing I like is how low you sit, makes you feel hunkered down. All around a great car by Honda.

Great video. The only complaint I have is your mic picking up a lot of background noise. Maybe getting a mic that cuts out the noise? 😊

Great Review !!

when he said "im about 5'8" i lost it. Dude looks like a 6'4 next to the car at the start of the video

Cant decide between the SI or the Sport =(

I like this guy!

So well done. Thanks

Thank you for the nice video. Which trim is the highest level with manual transmission?

my girl has one non turbo, auto, red sedan sport, 2019. Radio is a little nicer and have the “smart key” with push start. I love driving the thing lol

Does Hondata have a tune for this

So it essentially is the same exact engine as the Civic Si just tuned down about 25 horsepower and comes with the CVT instead of 6 speed manual?

Just got mine ❤️

i like the looks of the civic hatch but the interior infotainment seems LACKING to me, especially with what mazda is offering in the 3 hatchback....that also has available AWD!

So the 2019 Sport coupe and sedan get keyless start and the new infotainment, but hatchback is same as 2018?

Nice video!

17:58 😍😍🚗💨

Very informative review from what seems to be an ordinary guy who enjoys cars. Thanks for the video. All in all I will probably run out and buy one of these hatchback sports, but in my case it's stick or nothing. I certainly won't go from the $21k Hatchback Sport to the $29k Touring and be told I have to drive a CVT with no option for a stick.

No cvt for me, wish a different trans. on this car

How can you close the side mirrors when you park it ?

It adds 6HP 174+6= 180 NOT 174+5\= 179

Nice looking car

Nice job! I noticed the road noise too in mine driving it home. Not sure what to make of it....:/

just one thing WHAT ARE THOSE??????? (shoes)

Hey Honda, go all out LED already.

No parking sensors and no updated bumper garnishes 😢

A dealer in MA is asking $21700 plus fees (around $550 total) and taxes ($1400) for the 2019 EX hatchback. Is that a good deal?

Is the light for the speedometer red for all the civics or only the hatchback??

I'm unsure as to why you don't have a push start on the CVT, I test drove the exact same car and it had the push start. Is it just a difference in the market where is Canadians get something the Americans don't? Like how Europe doesn't have a volume knob?

Great Vid but FYI all 2019 civics now have black grills sedan and hatch

Yes

is that 2017 model ? 2019 Red is not exist from my country

Honda Sensing available on this trim?

There’s nothing wrong with the turbo engine? So the fuel dilution thing was a myth?

Which model was this? LX,EX, sport touring etc?

Y dont the civic hatchback has push button start come on Honda

what model has the push buton start ???

Does anyone knows how many 'pretty' he used in this video?

Are these cars reliable? i’m on the road often
