2022 Honda Civic Sedan vs Hatchback - This is the one I buy and why 

Me too, I may get this when prices stabilize.

Same here, especially if the Sport Touring will have a more aggressive suspension tuning to match the grill, front fascia, and tail end treatments. Plus, the added cargo utility, full length taillight/center brakelight treatment and exhaust ports.

Same!

Same! I didn't like it as much at first but it grew on me so quickly. If they truly do give us an Si hatchback then I'd probably have to get that.

@@alexc7864 From everything I heard, the Si will probably be still a sedan and the Type R a hatchback. Is seemed pretty reliable as such. The Si would seem fine with upgraded suspension of the Sport/Touring, dual tip version of the Sport Exhaust and HPD Appearance package, etc. But ifbit was up to me, the Sport Touring Hatchback shoukd have the previous Si 200 HP 1.5 Turbo, and the Si should have the detuned Type R 2.0L Turbo from the Accord Sport/Touring and the Bose sound system, etc. and what options they usually have. It is the more affordable and practical performance version fir enthususst, and more comfortable for daily driving than the Type R, particular the seats and supension ride, brakes and super soft tires that stick to gravel and are expensive and wear down superfast. People who get the Tyoe R, usualky want to go racibg, like my friend does with his, or collect them, and/or had the money to get one for status, and may not even know the real life down sides of it mentioned above. Which makes the Si much more practical. For the more budget minded that are enthusiast, but don't need the horsepower, and all the tech but want the sport appearance, handling and essential gear without the extras like the sunroif, power seats, dual zone A/C, etc, and want the more reliable, N/A 2.0L engine, they can get the Sport Sedan, and now the Sport Hatchback with that engine, with an available 6 Speed. I think that makes if great, especially if you like the styling and engineering refinements of the new sedan and hatchback over the previous generation. It surpasses the Corolla Hatchback, unless you're a diehard tuner that wants to tweak, customize and modify your car.

I agree. However, the wheels on the Sport Touring do not look good (the angles in the spokes are backwards on one side compared with the other side). And there is no port injection in the 1.5 Turbo engine. So make mine the regular Sport with 2.0-liter port-injected normally-aspirated engine and radial (more or less) spokes in the wheels (which look the same on both sides).

I'm leaning to that as well just waiting to see the Si first.

Manual sucks for a dd

Hope you're either good with the base 2.0 NA engine in the Sport trim or live in Canada then, eh (at least for the 2022 model year)

@@andrewmai1541 , no port injection is a big deal breaker for me too. Yeah, the 2.0 will be slower but I drive a 99 Miata and 2000 4Runner. Haha, everything I own is slow. 🤷‍♂️

They look like glorified station wagons. This lift back looks nice!

Agree can't wait for type R

I guess there is a new 2 door coupe version also to be introduced at some point, for 2022? I wouldve liked the new 2 door to be that liftback version. Like my 1986 white Honda Accord hatchback coupe back in the day

@@ryanfgrantjr3009 I remember hearing that they officially cancelled the coupe for this generation, because of extremely low coupe sales on the outgoing generation. Imo that might have to do with the fact that they half assed it and made it almost the same size as the sedan for production cost (I think it has the exact same wheelbase?) Which made it just an awkward looking car. Kinda sad because I like coupes, but I'm not to hurt.

@@spencerlorrigan Hey Spencer, Thanks so much. Everything you said made perfect sense. I forgot to google it after I posted question. I am huge fan of past Honda coupes as my 1st ever car , age 16, in 1995 was a used 1987 white Accord HB coupe and my last car was my favorite, a 2010 black on black Accord hottie EXL which I still miss badly after selling her for a CUV in 2018.

Exactly. It's an optional parts called "door visor" and so popular that many people even think it comes as a standard.

Smokers usually have them, lot of smokers in Japan?

@@ThisGuyRides that’s thing is not related with smokers, but yeah Japan has a lot of smokers

@@mitsuhiaoyagi7654 opening the window one inch allows the smoke to escape, so smokers put those ventshade on so they can smoke and drive in rain

@@ThisGuyRides well yeah, but I don’t think that’s the main reason for that since 90% of the cars in Japan have that

@@mitsuhiaoyagi7654 - who else needs to open their windows in the rain. In the USA, it’s low class to have those. Never seen on a luxury brand.

Congrats! How much thou

I ordered a hatchback with the HPD today. Is the HPD worth the money?

love style of the current hatch of Mazda 3. But we could just not accept the huge blinded pillars on the back doors. Our vision was way to obstructed, esp when the rear hatch glass was already pretty small and sloped. We couldn't find a car we liked in design as the 3 so we just took a pass on buying a new sled last fall.

@@ryanfgrantjr3009 that blind spot & the torsion beam is what made me pass on the new mazdas

Traditional hatchback I meant

Per Honda's press release the LX will have 16" alloys. The Sport will have 18" alloys. Both come with the 2 liter engine in US.

Luckily its a Civic, so there will be TONS of aftermarket taillights to choose from.

The LX sedan comes with steel wheels and hub caps. The LX hatchback will have 16" alloy wheels. And some suspension upgrade over sedan.

That’s what they went for. Backend diff

is this actually true? i feel it is, but i wonder why the MPG is actually less on the “hatchback” even tho it’s about the same weight etc

That makes sense. Look at the K4. It increased in length to compete with the Civic and the hatchback looks more like a wagon. I personally like the “liftback.” Hatchbacks haven’t been doing well in the US for quite sometime. They haven’t been popular since the 90s. So this style makes more sense.

Uhh it's a normal car that's supposed to get you to work or whatever. Why would you ever want more power. That's what the type R there for!

@@mrwhips3623 I mean it depends on your opinion I suppose. Some people like to pass prius's and cyclists with a bit of vigor. Yes there's the type R, but that thing has over double the power and the price. They just need to get with the times and at least edge the 200hp range.

Patience grasshopper. There's an Si and Type R coming for sure. They always logically release the mass market models 1st.

What are you talking about? For its class its actually pretty good, have you seen its main competition's HP, the Corolla?

They resolved that issue with the 2019 and 2020 models
