*Whoops* at 18:14 it said 28 mpg hwy, it’s 38 as stated in the video. 👍 What do you think of this new Civic? Is the redesign everything you wanted from Honda? I like a lot of what they did with it and a lot of the similarities from the last generation...but of course there are always things you can pick on. Overall, I think this is a great option for this class of car and it truly offers a lot for the price. Thank you for watching!
@@KJ-iq7fm gosh dang, you’re right. Idk where that number came from and I didn’t even catch that it’s not right anyway. I think I was looking at an EX or Sport before this one and got it from there. Sorry about that 😬
Didn’t like it at first, probably because of how different it is, but I have grown to love it more than the last generation… especially the interior and the rear.
@@BW-fz5kf I bought the white one in touring and yea no push on price right now but atleast I got it for msrp not the mark up price because of the shortage in cars being made right now. I absolutely love my car, worth it.
@@kegan8735 It's a really nice car. I have about 200 miles on it so far. Interior looks just as nice as the photos and its really smooth. I recommend it so far.
When Honda first released pictures of this car, I didn’t like it at all. But it’s starting to grow on me, thanks partly to video reviews…like this one. Your photography is excellent (as usual) and you show the car at its best. I had been thinking of grabbing one of the last of the 10th gen EX sedans but now I’m considering waiting for the market to improve and get a ‘22 after a while. BTW, I agree with you on the lack of lumbar adjustment…I can’t believe they don’t offer it at least on the top trims. Nice work, Nolan, I’m looking forward to more of your reviews! 👍
2022 Honda Civic Sport Touring is best in class. Yes, Mazda3 is torquer, but it short on tech, though it has nice soft touch materials. The new Civic is more like a mid-sized sedan with useable back row seats. The chassis has been redesigned entirely making the new Civic have fantastic steering, handling and performance. Independent rear suspension adds to the car's agility. Some people may decry the lack of lumbar support and the use of a CVT. I thought the seats were very comfortable and the CVT has been improved on this new model. It's pretty obvious that I'm in the market to buy the new Civic top trim.
Sharp car! My cons: 1. Volume knob should be bigger (or even one by the shift counsel/cup holders where your hand rests) 2. Chrome A/C vents, they look neat but on sunny days that reflection is annoying 3. Side Blinkers (besides mirror) could be better especially on the back. They do seam fairly visible directly from the front and somewhat on the back but your brake lights look like they’d overpower your blinker light and a side view all you have to go by is the mirrors flashing 4. And it’s got to have lumbar support
Just bought myself a 2022 Honda Civic EX and I love it. All the great futures of Honda and its simplicity, yet tied to modern futuristic style and roughness with this new front, its just amazing. Not to mention the 33-42 MPG its giving me on top of the Touring, I couldn't find anything else worth its money like this Honda Civic. Would like to add that honda civic's are like turtles, you see old Civic's running around In Mexico like it ain't nothing. Can't wait to drive it the next couple of years. Great video!!
I currently have a 2013 civic lx and I love it but I want a new Honda so bad. I wish the design was a little more sporty like the Camry or K5. I love the new features and screen, I can’t wait to upgrade
Great review! Honda has redesigned another winner for sure. I agree with you that the lack of lumbar support is sad to see and will be a deal breaker for old farts like me with back problems.
We own a 2021 Civic Sport sedan NA 6 SPEED manual, With 10,000 trouble free miles on it now it gets 37.2 Mpg overall average in the 10,000 miles driven, I do like some of the upgrades on the touring model shown here, I don't know why anyone would want a different car, If saving money is something you care about like my wife and I. Great review of this new car 😎👍.
I just got a 2021 Insight and I love it so much. I bought it because of its design and how it looked, and I like the modern futuristic look of this Civic.
I got one of the new2022 Honda civic Sport models a few months ago! they are already SOLD OUT in FRISCO!!!!!!!!! Mine is the Meteorite color and i just love the metallic in the paint. Its grey but has bluse and silver purple!? in this color! Im OBSESSED!!!!!!! Love the white pearl metallic color also.
Hi Nolan. Great review of the new Civic. I can't wait for this to be on sale in the UK later in the year. Love the toned down look of the Civic, quite classy, and the interior is an improvement. :-)
I would stick with the accord. The reviews do not favor good ride quality as the accord, and it seems like this has more tire noice than the accord, and the accord isn’t that great with reducing tire noice
Just got the touring and it’s much much better looking than the sport. You need to see one in person. Plus you’ll be happy with the upgrade (leather, sound system, bigger screen, etc)
I wonder if Honda will let the Civic hold down the sedans and bring back the Accord Crosstour 🤔. They really only have a handful of sedans. Honda usually test the waters years ahead of the coming tides. If Honda give all their models a brand sound system…it would be hard for the dealers to keep stock up. Yay to Honda new leadership 🥳. Appreciate you Nolan!!!
No kidding, it will be interesting to see what they're going to put out there in the next few years...and I love to addition of Bose, or any other sound system lol. Thanks Key!
I know I’m very late to the game, but I’m considering a Civic Touring. Of course no one for over 500 miles has one in stock. I really wanted to know if the passenger seat headrest is as bad as the 9th gen LX’s where it pushes your head forward. I can never get comfortable in it and have to sit in the back seat for any longer trips as a result. After watching MANY reviews, you are the only person to mention this regarding the 9th gen and how this 11th is comfortable and doesn’t have that problem. Thank you! That helps me feel better about putting money down on one before I can actually sit in one.
I see Honda eliminated the over/engineered but really cool console setup of the previous generation. This is Civic console is like everyone else’s again. I’ll miss the huge space underneath the bridge and the huge under armrest storage and the sliding drink holders and such that we all came to be familiar with.
NOLAN YOU ARE THE BEST MY NAME IS PETTER IN CALIFORNIA I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2017 HONDA ACCORD EXT WITH ONLY 25,000 MILES. It is the first time i got into a Japanese Car and loved my Honda. After 26 new cars with in the last 30 years from Bentley/ Porsche/ Chevy Corvettes BMW and many others. I Love the way you work and i think after today my next car is going to be the HONDA CIVIC TURBO IN THE PEARL WHITE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME A HUGE HUG ALL THE BEST TO YOU WHERE ATE YOU? I WILL LOVE TO TALK TO YOU BE WELL AND STAY SAFE
Sad to see the lane watch Camera go, I like it better than lane monitoring. Was hoping to see cameras on both sides like Hyundai did. Also 360 camera would be nice
I'll probably get alot of hate for this comment but.....I don't like the outer design. To me, it looks so generic and plain. However, the other amazing, upgraded features redeem this for me. Your review is tactful and honest. I love it ♥
I was concerned about the get up and go since the last car I had was fast. It was a 6 cylinder 3.7. I have to say with this 1.5 turbo I was or don't think slug. It's just enough and actually really love it
My 2005 accord has the window roll down features and LED turn signal light in sidemirrors with auto fold. Imagine 17 years of age gap accord had those features already
I still liked outgoing model. Which looks bigger that this new one. I like Honda safety & it’s riding quality better than any compact sedan cars in market
They’ve stated multiple times that it won’t be until 2040, but I read that around 1-2 years ago. The only EV they have isn’t available in the US. But unless something was said recently. I don’t expect them to have a full electric models anytime soon.
I am on a quest to have all auto journalists inform manufacturers, that top of the line trims with leather should have vented seats! With all this global warming stuff...wouldn't ya think? By the way, you're right about the arm rest...should be higher. Good review!
It’s really upsetting that they are just now introducing a great sound system which is my only gripe about my 2020 model. I have to change out my sound system because it’s so bad.
The spider next to the driver power seat buttons!! Watch out Nolan! Hahah - okay so I’m loving this car but as Nolan said I’m super bummed that there isn’t adjustable lumbar on any new Civic trim. I am young but have lower back damage from a car wreck 2 years ago. Lumbar makes all the difference while I’m driving. I bought a new Mazda CX-5 and it has 2 way lumbar but I’d pay a lot more to get 4 way lumbar. It’s a big deal for some
I think the new Civic is very nice, and my preference over the others in the segment. More refined and improved from the previous generation.. The Sport is racy with all the necessities, but without the extra cost items that is nice, but not needed to keep the price down, and have the adequate but more reliable N/A 2.0L engine, like the previous version. And it looks even nicer with blacked out emblems, body kit, and rear spoiler from the optional HPD appearance package. But if you are more mature and want the toned down subdued look with all the sportiness and all the bells and whistles, the Touring is the way to go, with the leather seats, Bose sound system, wireless charging, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, and everything else. But now I plan to get the Sport Touring Hatchback, color depending on availability, but I have my favorites, but the black interior. I like the more agressive front fascia and grille, rear end styling, and cargo utility, and the Sport/Sport Touring Hatchback is said to have an even more performance oriented sport tuned suspension. For me, it's almost perfect, except it would be nice to have the map pocket behind the driver's seat on the Sport Touring, the rear A/C vents on the back of the center console, memory driver's and ventilated front seats. The Si should have a dual exhaust tip version of the Sport, and it would be great if it had the detuned Type R 2.0L Turbo from the Accord Sport and Touring, since that would be the more common, practical, comfortable and affordable performance option to the full out Type R for those that want to go racing, and such. Great video, as always.
I would dearly love a Civic with ivory seats instead of black, but I can’t find one anywhere! Inventory is so low at my local dealerships and ALL of them have only the Sport model in stock. Ugghhh!
Update: I did indeed buy a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring a couple of weeks ago. My local dealership has had NO Civics in stock for OVER a year! Then like magic, they had Accords and Civics as of Jan 1, including two Tourings. (A third Touring came in that same week.) AND they had the Meteorite Metallic Gray with gray (ivory) seats! I grabbed one the second week and was able to pay cash. No car payments! Good thing I did too because those three Tourings were all sold that same week and they’ve had no others come in yet.
I know the Civic R is coming.. but only as a 4 door hatch back, with a hokie wing, fattie wheel flares and a cow catcher front spoiler, add to that 20" ghetto wheels in that ugly 'brake dust' black color... Id love that 380HP R motor, with a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission 8 speed) and add a exhaust cutout like the new Hyundai Elantra N.. put all that in a Civic sedan like you have there, WITHOUT BADGES... I want a sleeper...
Any long term reliability data on the 1.5l turbo engine, or is this too new? Also reliability of CVT... several other automakers do have reliability issues with CVT Folks that own this car... you feedback on honeycomb vents please? It seems like dust would be an issue requiring constant cleaning. Thanks in advance for your comments.
Let me understand this. So there is indeed a Sport trim for the 2022 Civic. That's great. But you can't get the Turbo charged engine option on the "Sport" trim. Seriously?
That’s correct. Same with the 2021 and older models from that generation. It’s basically just a bit of aesthetic differences. Less power and less torque for the sport lol
I just got one of these on a lease. Got it to 60 and felt like the car wanted to slide all over the place. Didn't matter what mode it was in, you just feel like you lose control of the tires and steering. Waaaay too delicate.
I think the styling is rather bland compared to the previous generation. I love the the way the coupe was different and stood out from the competition. I've driven Hondas for over thirty years but since the Accord and Civic coupes have been dropped . I know the coupe market was not as profitable as in the past but re-introducing the Prelude or S2000 would have been a nice option. Looks like an 86 or BRZ when my lease is up
Honda PR said they “fixed” it a year or two ago with these 1.5 engines, mainly addressing concerns with the CR-V. Specs are a little different with tuning for their engines. I’ve heard mixed reviews from owners before and after the “fix”. Even if there isn’t “excessive” dilution like there was, there is still going to be some regardless. As for long term reliability, not sure how it will be
Yes, I'm sorry about that. I think I pulled an EX MSRP and completely missed it.. You're right, including shipping costs the price was around $28 or $29 if I remember.
@@Ryan-yw8iz in short- a CVT takes gears out of a car. We all grew up on car transmissions shifting planetary gears. You feel in control of a cars REV’s. Driving is more enjoyable that way, and it’s familiar. Without gears you have a car that just feel like a soul less appliance that you aren’t operating. You gain a little MPG with a CVT and that’s it. A CVT is automotive trickery that had to be created to fulfill the Obama EPA’s cafe standards. Automakers had to act fast to get much higher mpg averages and hence the elimination of the majority of V6’s and V8’s and the much more urgent push for hybrids and EV’s. It’s kind of like the slow death of driving and a move towards automation. People still like driving.
@@Ryan-yw8iz honestly if I wasn’t tired and having a headache today I would be able to give you a much more technical explanation but I did my best for not being able to think. There are as many cars as their are personalities. If you are a guy who likes cars and modifications or fast cars you would likely say heck no to a CVT. There there are guys who could care less about cars and they just like art or video games or think Toyota Corollas are all anyone could ever want, then thinking about a CVT or a transmission had probably never hit your radar.
@@Ryan-yw8iz to break things down a little more, Honda had been known among mechanics and the auto industry at large to have one of the best feeling and most reliable CVT’s. I drove a new Civic recently and although it confirmed it’s not for me, it’s a good car and a reliable machine. So if reliability is your main metric over passion for cars and driving dynamics, you can’t go wrong with another civic or accord from Honda.
I get the feeling maybe Honda wants to capture more of the female audience and not young females, but I’d say the 30-50 range. Then Honda can sell the Si and R to guys of all ages who want to. But this was made more luxurious and soft and smoothed out to attract woman again. And I think it will take sales from Mazda’s 3 and Toyota’s Corolla. I would bet my bank account that woman will flock to this new Civic, they will get so much and save cash versus the Honda Accord. I think this car is going to outsell even the Accord!!! Smart on Honda’s part to create a Civic that’s mature and cast a wider net to all kinds of people and young families who may want better gas mileage than a crossover would get. I might be wrong on some of this but I bet the car sells like hot cakes so maybe there won’t be many deals other than low interest financing. We shall see. I believe Honda has a new winner on their hands here. Good job! Thanks for bringing it to us Nolan!
Bingo! You’re the first person commenting on that (that I’ve seen) and you’re exactly right. I’m in that female demographic and just bought a brand new 2023 Civic Touring a couple of weeks ago. I like the more toned-down, mature look and the gorgeous interior. I had a 2002 Civic LX I’d been driving for 18 years, so it was WAY past time for an upgrade! This new Civic is beautiful and the less flashy, more modest lines give it a more classic look/feel. It will still look good in 20 years and I love that!
@Michael Thanks! I’m rather suspicious I WON’T get 18 years out of this new one. Ha! 😉 Actually, I needed to upgrade from my ‘02 LX for some time before. But I don’t drive a lot since I work from home and was laid up for some time with my third hip dislocation. But if I get 10-15 years out of it, I’ll be happy. (Preferably at least 12 years.) I see absolutely no reason to buy a car if the current car is running and safe to drive. I’ll never be one to get a car every 2-5 years. Absolute waste of money I could be doing something else with. But that’s also why I justify buying the top trim level. 😉 Fortunately, I was able to pay cash for this car. No car payments! Yay! 🥳
@@SmartPracticeSuccess sounds like you know how to do it right! You are right about everything. 12+ years is perfectly acceptable. Good luck on your hip! I’ve been laid up a few times. It’s rough. Makes you appreciate the healthy times! Happy New Year. 🎊
1000000% can confirm this as a woman. A few of my friends can also vouch. I haven’t liked the civic in over a decade since they were boxier! Always preferred the Accords. But the 22 is 🔥 classy, clean, & sophisticated looking! I’m trying to decide between a civic touring & the accord exl 2.0. I just almost like the civic over the accord, but I like that the accord is more spacious w more features and faster
LEDs can be sharp or blinding to the eye. In any case, if you really care, you can easily swap out those turn signal bulbs for LED bulbs. Pretty effortless.
Bought this exact white Honda in touring trim couple days ago, I absolutely love it! What tint percentage does the one you are reviewing have? I want to tint it but not super dark, I want a classy tint.
@@kegan8735 I love it! The Bose sound system is pretty nice! And it’s just an all around good choice in looks, fuel economy, and now more premium feel.
That's awesome and I'm glad to hear it! It's 25% tint..it's got a nice look with easy visibility out, but still makes it hard to see inside at most angles and definitely helps block out some heat. Enjoy your new Civic!
I just bought this car for my daughter, it's fantastic..I will say however that the Goodyear tires honda chose for this car are HORRIBLY loud. I can't believe those made it out of testing, if they were even tested.
