2022 Honda Civic Sport - Redefining Entry Level Refinement (POV Binaural Audio) 

The funnel in the trunk is so you can add gas to the tank from a gas can with the capless mechanism

Man, to think that this is gonna be some kid's first car! It looks so nice for being a Civic!

They left room for at least three turbos in the engine bay, how thoughtful!

It actually looks relatively easy to work on. That engine bay is gorgeous.

Although the previous 10th gen was a little more "aggressive" and sporty, this is a good departure towards a more upscale design that will age well along side a young adult as their first car.

Smooth as butter. Having a car like this makes you enjoy the calm chill drives more

wouldn't be a highway merge without a toyota in front of you doing 45

Okay that little Honda logo animation when you closed the door was adorable!!

"Oh my goodness, take this turn slower?! ... We're gonna die on the highway because you can't go fast enough?" Felt this with all my core and soul

my 2012 Civic Hybrid went 360K on the first CVT, put in one with 35K miles from a wreck and its just crossing 400K and still going.. I love my honda's

Pretty sure the funnel is for using a gas can for the cap less fuel filler

9:29 I can't stand when people merge like that, it's so dangerous and infuriating. It's the one place where you're actively encouraged to accelerate really fast, how can you not!

I just bought a Honda Civic sport 2022 model for my son and I was blown away by the quality and features that this car has on it. I love the black star spoke rims on it.

I bought one last year and it's a fun car to drive, great on gas, handling, styling and just an all around win for Honda.

Focused, tight and pristine. How a civic should be.

I test drove this car today and was very impressed. The inside felt significantly nicer than the 10th generation.

I honestly believe these new, entry level cars under $35,000 are nicer inside then some $60,000 dollar luxury cars from a few years ago. Best example of this is Mazda, especially the Mazda 3. For the price, you cannot beat the quality of the interior and the materials inside. Once I started reviewing more and more of them I realized just how nice they have become. Great video as always!

I can't wait for the SI and the Type R, those are gonna be serious performance dailys

Just got this in a Sonic Gray and it also came with a stripe down the sides. I can’t stop looking at it and it’s so buttery smooth. A perfect car for me.

Finally something that doesn’t hurt my eyes!

The highway merger in the RAV4 and the corresponding rant was entirely reminiscent of 90% of my merging scenarios.

As a former Hyundai owner, they did feel premium as first. However, gearbox issue and mechanical problems were quickly erased that feeling from my mind.

That's the best looking civic I've seen in a long time.

The Honda Civic is an icon in the daily world. You hit the nail on the head nothing wrong with coasting in an inline 4. Great review

Im driving one right now for the week. It's so much better than the previous generation.

Finally an Si that will have luxury looks on the inside. Can't wait to see the Si with this new design

So good to spot something for a regular dude in your channel

Honda is killing it with the interior game lately. The 10th gen Civic’s interior was great, but this one is on a different level.

Kind of guy who is fun at parties and is super nice at the same time The review is 💯

The road noise is definitely the tires. I had the same tires on my 2016 Accord Sport and once I changed the tires out it was way quieter. 😌

A great review, perfectly done, just what I need. I’ll get one in the next few years.

Just saw one of these on the road today for the first time. Red also. Looks exactly like all the pictures-clean, inoffensive, just a bit handsome.

I like this hot red with black rims, not too bad. I usually don't like this red but the car and the wheels all go together. This looks like a good daily sedan for the price, it doesn't get any better. Runs smooth, simple and has everything you need.

Your commentary is gold! I feel like I literally say the same things as I drive.

The merging onto the highway felt like peering into my soul

I have this car, same color and everything. Other than not having anywhere to put my sunglasses and the stop-start having to be turned off every time you start your car, like you can’t preset that, all in all, great car, and really fun drive.

Love this video, started to get into pov vids and car vids myself but still trying to dial in the setup, this looks insane keep the content coming buddy and ive now subscribed you.

First time watching you and I can already tell we have a lot of pet peeves in common. Subscribed!

Sooooo... When's the F1 review coming? 😁

This is a classy little car. I dig it.

yes, coming back to the retro designs

Man, I cannot wait to see more of these in my area.

Man' ive had this car for about 7 months now and I've been loving it and i definitely dont regret getting it as a first car. Down the line I'm gonna be trading it in for an Si for my first manual car once i get good at driving one lol. I've come back to this video multiple times before and after i got my car and it's still so entertaining to watch. 👌

Ted we have a problem, I’m addicted to your videos and rehab centers will not accept it as an addiction! No but seriously I LOVE your videos especially with headphones in!!

First time watching a review. But I absolutely love it. Loved your review! you are very funny and have a good sense of humor. This is how reviews should be. thank you I just ordered my 2022 Honda civic sport in white color two days ago. it should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. Very excited.

Nice video. Just got my first brand new car (it had 4 miles when I drove it off the dealer 😎) And am feeling proud I went for this honda civic. Amazing machine for a normal hard working person.

Love the styling of this generation. The 10th gen has that Euro feel, but still aggressive and Japanese. This 11th gen elevated that Euro/luxury vibe. Love the interior with the black trim. Also, so you do have those who merge slowly on the freeway. I agree, it is annoying. Slow isn’t always the safest, people!

Styling is a home run. Nothing goofy. Strong, straight lines. The interior is what VW should copy for the Golf Mk IX.

The fact that he makes everything look epic, even a dam civic.

I love the way this Civic model looks, but I wish they sold it with the 6-speed manual or even just a regular automatic torque converter 🥺

this car looks so much better than the last 10 years of civics

The NA I4 will definitely be the one to get. But not the CVT.

The eco mode controls 4 things. Rpm is one and the other major one is that it cuts the air compressor to half use. Aside. A sport comes with leather wrapped wheel and shifter. The funnel is to put gas in the car when using a gas can

First time seeing your car reviews lol you’re a good reviewer and pretty funny 😂 definitely will subscribe for more. Keep it up

The funnel is actually for the cap less gas fill up… I took some time to read my 2018 Civics book and if you need emergency gas they don’t want you trying to beep the door open with a tool etc…

Honda did an outstanding job!

I'm excited to see the new Type R. I own a 2018 and love how sharp and edgy it is.

We have a 19' Odyssey Touring as a company vehicle and it's really nice. I've always thought the Civics always felt a bit better built then others in its class.

Man, you really do meet the nicest people on a Honda. They were right after all.

I can watch this all day

the new Civic design certainly looks better than the previous one

Well, the look of the new Civic is quite subdued compared to the previous one😮

For $24k I'd really enjoy this car. Looks great and that powertrain is gonna be super reliable. Also that pupper at the end was adorable!

I preferred the one before it, and I didn’t even know the one before it existed. Though, I do like how they are going back to their “small car” roots.

I had a 10th Gen Civic Sport with the 2 liter. I wish it had more power, but it was still a fun car to drive.

Can't wait to see the type R of this year

Ah good old Massachusetts merging onto highways. I'm always praying I don't die when I'm behind a car merging on at 45 mph while everyone else is flying by at 80 mph

Wonderful job Honda I genuinely want this car and that's coming from a GM guy !

is there a way to use only paddles? it seems like once you press a paddle shifter the normal drive mode takes over fairly quickly.

love this guy and his wit

Great review!! I REALLY wanted the sport due to it being cheaper and more aggressive looking (With the black trim and wheels) but unfortunately there were no sports anywhere I went. Ended up getting the touring which is nice but the extra gadgets and buttons are unnecessary for a simple guy like me. Overall, I love it! Got it when it only had 29 miles on it. Still feels brand new every day.

Just picked up the 23 sport. So nice to drive for its price!

got a civic sport from 2013 and still happy with it low on miles and the leather is perfect, it smells like brand new and I did not need to spend all my savings to get it even with that insanely low miles and it was a full spec model, and since I like MC more than cars it just was a perfect option for me, and for me right now Honda makes good cars no problems with it ever just normal maintenance and service and I might get one like this in the future, but I think they look more like standard now and not so playful and a minor fact I bought a brand new Samsung 65 tv and my little Honda hatchback did bring it home in one piece still on the box and that made me love the car for real :D

The visibility is heaven like

The increased road noise is expected from a Sport trim model vehicle with wider tires, but it was noted by another reviewer that the Touring, and I believe probably the EX has increased sound deadening insulation materials as part of the amenities and added options. That's not an issue for me, as I would play the stereo anyway. And yes, those funnels are for the gas tank as mentioned in other comments. And the Speedometer is a real analog gauge, the Tachometer and information center on the left is a digital display This is a lower version of the 4 trims, but not quite the bare bones entry level of the LX, which is still not too shabby, especially over the previous generation. At the same price for the LX and Sport as the previous generation model, it's a good concession, albeit, this newer sport trim loses the fog lights, previously not LED, the leatherette door and center console armrests, and the 60/40 split folding rear seat. Pretty much everything is a carryover from the previous Sport version except for the upgrades and refinements, styling and design, etc. The Sport is a definite upgrade from the LX that is well worth the price, especially if you are more Sport enthusiast oriented, but even nicer in general for the masses with what you get for the upgrade from LX. You get all the other basic Sport handling and appearance gear from the top level Touring trim, with an optional HPD Honda Performance Edition exterior appearance package with a body kit, rear deck lid spoier and blacked out emblem trim, but it looks fine as is. You just don't get the leather, power adjust seats, sunroof, outside mirror turn signal lights and added perks like the fancier instrument panel, larger entertainment system display, the wireless phone charging/Apple Carplay & Android Auto, and only one USB port, dual zone A/C, and premium Bose Stereo that is nice, and a bummer not to have, but for $5K less. I could live with that, unless I could afford to get the Touring trim, or the Sport Touring Hatchback, or even the Sport Hatchback for a little more if it has the same equipment, with the option of a 6 speed manual. As far as the Bose system, it is acoustically designed and optimized for this car, but you could always upgrade the Sport system with a DSP processor, amplifiers, speakers, subwoofer to the extent you desire and can afford. I would probably go with Rockford Fosgate, JBL Club, or Sony Mobile ES. And yes, the two upper trim levels have the upper level 1.5L turbo engine with 20 more horsepower. But, the N/A 2.0L engine is ultimately more reliable over time, especially if you tend to push your car's performance. So to me, the larger displacement N/A is preferable, unless I could spring for the Touring. The power is adequate, and is just as fast as my 1984 Buick Grand National I had for 0-60 , with a 3.8L V6 turbo, or my 2000 Chevy Impala LS with the same size N/A engine. But the Civic is about just as roomy inside, with good trunk space in a more compact vehicle, which I now prefer. What would be really nice is if the Si could have an optional detuned version of the 2.0L Turbo Type R engine from the Accord Sport and Touring trims. That would make it really special for enthusiast drivers, and it is more affordable, comfortable and practical as a daily driver than the Type R, which is mostly for die hard enthusiasts/collectors that can afford it, modify and race it. Si buyers would not have to modify their cars much for the extra power over the 1.5L turbo from the previous version. The Civic Sport is the sweet spot best buy all around, with the superior reliability, longevity and durability and quality control over the other brands, along with Toyota, but had better handling dynamics and steering feel and design refinements over the Corolla SE/XSE. I would get this, and plan to, as I mentioned, unless I could get the Touring, or Sport/Sport Touring Hatchback. It is the same price as the 2021 HR-V Sport which is nice, and has even much more practical cargo utility, but not the new refinements, and 20 less horsepower. The previous Civic Sport Sedan is still nice, but the updates, and more mature and refined styling is great.

Great vid and excellent overview… question- if the costs were similar would you go with a ‘22 Si or a nicely used ‘20 Type R?

( 10:11 ) ( 12:29 ) Road noise: the Touring model got extra sound insulation that was left out of the Sport trim. Less expensive, less weight. 18" wheels don't help, either. It would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of an LX (16" wheels), Sport, and Touring to see if the differences are noticeable.

curious to see the six speed in the hatch

The funnel is for putting fuel in the capless fuel tank from a gas can or any container. You can figure out why that could be useful.

9:24 I swear, people who drive newer Toyota RAV4s have to consistently be some of the worst drivers I've seen around lately. Timid, weak drivers are one of the biggest dangers on the road today. - If you can't trust yourself to drive, get off the road.

Love how you started in the Stone Zoo parking lot.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POV

dont know why but the car reminds me of a few cars in terms of looks. Camry, Jetta, and an Impreza. maybe if they decided to compliment the front by making the car 2 door it may have looked a bit better. it may have even looked like a newer version of the 90s-93 civic. The interior is beautiful and simplistic, cant get enough from looking at it.

Damn that looks smooth af for a Honda

Awesome vid man! 🔥

Really looking forward to seeing you review the Civic Si and Sport Touring Manual Hatch when they become available.

I appreciate the analog button and switches

Perfect first car, I might buy this for my first car!

Man! Beat Honda civic yet! I liked the previous gen but this is through the roof! Better yet it's gonna be cheap when I'm gonna buy my first vehicle!

I don’t love the styling of the sedan, but I’m looking forward to the SI and Type R, should be fun cars. This also makes me really excited for the new Accord, since the Civic looks so luxurious now imagine how much more luxurious the Accord will have to be.

I remote started my 2022 civic from outside and the engine is shutting down when I get inside and start to drive. Is it the right way to drive the car after starting it with remote?

As a 10th gen owner with the same powertrain, I agree it's incredibly refined and that the engine (and CVT) essentially disappear into the background. The mechanicals do their job so well that there is no drama or excitement. With the 10th Gen, it was styling alone that made the car interesting. Now that it looks like everything else I worry that the whole car is just going to be boring.

Not-so-fun story, I literally pulled over for an ambulance on the same day you posted this, and the guy behind me cuts me off shortly after and starts breaking in my window, accusing me of spilling his drink. And this was in Boston too....

For the money 💰, the Civic Sport is one of the best values on the market. The interior looks really good and has an upscale appearance. The fit and finish looks great 👍! It may not be the most stylish but still has a nice look with sport wheels and the orange color. I have a 21 Civic Sport Hatchback that I am leasing now and there's a very good chance that I will be buying another Civic Sport Sedan or Hatchback in late 2023 to 2024. The next one I purchase will be a finance for the long haul as I can see getting great longevity with just basic maintenance. Well done by Honda!!

lots of space for the modification, but why do they remove the turbo out of this 2.0L CVT?

Great Daily driver for years to come!

I'm supposed to pick up my 6 speed hatch or sorry lift lol. Thank you for helping me make sure I was making the right decision

THANK YOU for not speeding up to cut that guy off at 9:08. Now, can you please come to NJ to demonstrate that to everyone here, "how to merge safely and without being a d-bag" Thank you

no electric folding mirrors? didn't see any button for them in any of the trim so i'm curious if that's a US thing.

Great review, great personality
