Sam just to be clear, I think that that Civic had the 1.5t because it was a sport touring. That's why it destroyed the Elantra. The 2.0 civic would be closer the entire race.
@@SamCarLegion I noticed the same thing, so I checked the Canadian website to see if my hunch was correct. From what I can tell, it looks like the Sport Touring uses the 1.5T in both the US and Canada. It also looks like the Sport uses the 2.0 NA in both the US and Canada. While the Sport model comes with some extra convenience features up in Canada (lucky), those features do not include a sunroof, "leather" seats and steering wheel. So it's looking like the Civic you ran was likely using a 1.5t, which would explain the rather significant performance gap between it and the other vehicles. The regular 2.0 Sport is crazy slow off the line, but starts to pack a decent punch once you hit 5,000 rpm.
I have never seen anyone drag and roll race the 2.0 Civic vs Corolla. They’re always comparing the 1.5t to the Corolla’s 2.0na. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.
Now this is more interesting to watch than high performance cars. As others have mentioned, the civic is definitely 1.5T since it packs so much power compared to other cars. The Corolla in the race should’ve been the 2.0L engine, not the hybrid.
The Civic is a Sport Touring with 180 HP.. Which is why the obvious results of the Honda winning.. How do you not know what you’re driving?? You’re supposed to be car guys??..
For sure. They are more interesting. As with high performance cars, you kinda know the outcome from knowing the specs and seeing them in numerous races.
One of the things I wanted to mention but didn't- the underpinnings of even the most basic entry level cars are so good nowadays - esp when you look up the trim lines, GR Corolla, Elantra N and Civic Type R. Its a good time to be alive and enjoying cars. Curious to see how this particular Civic holds up against the Mazda3's of the world. Thanks for the invite and the chance at some grocery getting racing. Real question...did you make it on time for your appointment? 😁
The 1.5L engine uses 2 exhaust pipes/tips while the 2.0L N/A engine only has a single exhaust pipe/tip coming from the rear. The 10th gen civics also does the same thing mainly for the typical base models.
🎉Best idea for content on drag races!!! I love seeing regular cars going at it!!! Especially that i drive an Explorer ST, except mine is a 2023 tuned with Ford Performance’s ProCal, not voiding waranty, no mods required only to run 93octane,,, 0-60 4.2 sec 😂
Hey Sam, really enjoyed watching some mainstream cars drag racing. Next up can you do 2.0t A4 vs 330i vs C300? I really want to see that since I personally own 2023 A4 Technik. Appreciate that.
1.5T civic vs Kia forte 1.6 vs Mazda3 2.5 seems like a good match up would love to watch that drag race see which best compact wins! Awesome videos Sam
Would love to see 10th gen vs 11th gen on the civics. Do the 1.5 hatchbacks. Than the si. Then the type r. That way we could see how the old and new stack up against each other. Then for fun a race between 1.5, si, type r.
@@rinbine2713 well let's keep this nice and simple for the people that don't know anything about vehicles Honda was definitely the best vehicle out of these three but that's a little too obvious and we know in this world today obvious doesn't work so if you were saying Honda is trash you clearly know nothing about vehicles and the obvious doesn't stick out to you which is okay not everybody can see the obvious and it's pretty obvious is that a lot of people can't did you just proved that have a good one
Yeah that Corolla Hybrid just has the 1.8L old skool. My 2022 SE has the new 2.0L that has a physical 1st gear then goes into CVT mode. It's pretty peppy.
Stock car races are a lot better than the tuned car races even if the stock cars are kind of slow cars cuz most people aren’t tuning their cars. Plus you know exactly what you’re getting if you purchase any of the stock vehicles.
I think the N/A civic would be a much better comparison for those cars. So either next do turbo Elantra vs that civic or both should be the base NA engines.
Try kia forte gt (DCT) vs civic Si vs a higher spec corolla or even the base model integra. Love the more "realistic" consumer drag race rather than the more expensive vehicles.
😂😂😂 everyone knows Toyotas are slow AF… the 2024 Nissan Sentra SR 150hp.. yes its still a CVT but it probably would have put up a better fight than the Carolla
@@ArExsTee The 2.0 is quite a bit quicker than the 1.8. It definitely would have been closer. The 2.0 is 1.2 seconds quicker quarter and almost 2 seconds quicker 0-60. The Elantra is 8.1 seconds 0-60 and The Corolla is 7.9. I have had both and the Corolla is quicker, especially the SE.
Throw a 2019 Yaris hatchback in there , they come with a 6 speed sport transmission, not only that but the sedan comes w a manual transmission. I think the manual might be able to beat the civic. Producing “only” 108 HP and Weighing at 2,400 pnds it’s also I think a much more fun experience when it comes to driving. And cvts’ have been called out plenty in this video 😂 great work you guys ! 💯
The rear electric motor in the Corolla cuts off around 70kph, that’s why it’s good off the line but not on the roll. So at highway speeds it’s just a fwd and not awd.
Does a second or so really make a difference on the streets in commuter cars. Honestly, just don’t care about drag racing. I think it’s kind of pointless.
I Constantly see unfair competitors against the corolla. Its either turbo civics or higher displacement engines. lets do all 2.0 NA engines. Throttle house did the same thing, they had the Corolla against mazdas 2.5 and civics 1.5T.
Ughhh you don’t get it. The corrolla is hybrid is half electric and it has 1.8 engine and it can beat the Elantra until the speed is 40mph because the hybrid can go up to 40mph max. Thats why.
Sam, I respect your opinion and decision to make this comparison. But just don't do what everyone else has done. I got maybe an honest mistake, bringing the Civic sport touring with the turbo engine. My point is that when comparing cars that are in the same segment, try to compare similar cars, for example, the civic sport, hyundai SEL, and the corolla SE. All these cars are 2.0 litters natural aspirated with cvt transmissions. Later, if you want, bring hybrid samples of these 3 manufacturers you can do it also. That way, you are giving your viewers a way to compare these cars. Thank you, and I hope you can do this comparison again.
