Is the 2020 Honda Civic Sport the BETTER car to BUY than a Corolla? 

Love reviews of common cars like this one. Something I actually have the budget to afford! Keep up the content, Joe!

Not enough credit is given to this guy for his masterful tour and narration of the car. This guy is an expert at his job. I'm getting this car soon and homeboy makes me wanna go to the dealership right now 😂💯

My lease for this car is almost over and I really don’t want to say goodbye. It’s a phenomenal stress free car. So much fun to drive. The simplicity and just overall driving experience makes me feel so content with driving. Truly amazing car to have in the family

Just upgraded from my 2005 Honda Civic LX to a 2020 Honda Civic Sport 3 days ago and I am absolutely IN LOVE with this car! 😍😍 It’s so awesome and I’m planning on keeping her for quite a while haha. 💕

Refreshed 2020 Civic Sport 2.0 naturally aspirated engine with 6 speed manual is beautiful, drives great, will last FOREVER and can be had for around $20K USD brand new. BEST VALUE OUT THERE!

*My sister got this same car, color and all last October! My first "NEW" vehicle ever! Had 8 miles on it. Awesome car.* 👍

I bought one last month for my daily driver. White, 6 speed manual. Great car! Lots of fun for the money. Not as much power as my GTI or M2 but a lot less money and probably will be a lot more reliable.

Never had a Honda but you got me thinking about a Civic, nice looking car as well as price and you can't beat the MPGs. Thanks Joe 👍

Love the review!! Actually today I had a test drive of a 6 speed manual 2019 Sport and it was amazing. Thank you very much!!

I like that the infotainment system is in the center and not iPad style on the top like some 60k cars. Overall good car for a good price.

When trading in a 2016 Jeep Patriot a month ago I was in between a Corolla and civic, the look of black civic sport hatchback and steering sold me! I feel so much safer and now I enjoy my commutes!! I was watching all ur videos a last month when shopping, they helped tremendously!

I love my 2020 Aegean Blue Civic Sport Sedan! First car ever and I’m in love with it, so versatile and sporty. I loved the driving with the NA Engine much more than the turbo for some reason, but definitely go with this civic if you’re looking for an everyday car!!! Well done on the review, even though I do love the Hdmi exhaust!!

I love these reviews. Super informative with normal cars, and the humor sprinkled in is hilarious!

Just bought one. Great looking in my opinion. Thanks for the in-depth review!

I love the HDMI exhaust lol!. Watching your informative video makes it more enjoyable. Thanks.

You’re the best reviewer keep up the great content Joe.

Just got one this past Saturday, I got the dark grey love it so far ❤️

Love your civic reviews lol I cant get enough of looking at this car, particularly the hatch. I want one so bad but there's no manual options in Aus except type R.

Just got my ralleye red Civic sport! So glad I can fit my case of twinkies in the glove compartment. Thanks joe!

Just picked up this car today, same color and everything with literally 0 miles lol. Still had the wrapping on the steering wheel. I had a 2016 lx and let me tell you this car has a completely different driving experience than the base model lx’s. Great review!

I purchased a new 2020 sport sedan with the 6 speed manual transmission 6 weeks ago. It’s a very practical daily driver and should definitely last a few years! A great value 🙂

I love your videos! I own a 2018 Civic EX-T and I love it! Btw....I love those old school references that you sneak in!!

My son recently purchased a new 2020 Civic. We also test drove the Corolla. I must say that the Corolla was downsized as I had issues getting in & out of the car & interior space was very tight. I used to drive the previous generation of the Corolla for work & had none of those issues. I had more room in the Chevy Sonic, & that's a sub-compact car. The Civic was very different. Not only was access so much better, but I have more than enough room inside the car. As far as I'm concerned, the 2 cars don't compare anymore.

I just got one with the CVT. The only reason is I liked the color but it’s ok. It has a delay and only gets good power at the end. Almost like someone pushing the car and then gets a nice boost of energy so you can start it lol. All in all I love this car. I traded a Silverado for it and I love this car.

Great video I love my Honda Civic sport it so good with the handle and speed

I leased a 2020 Sport coupe a few months ago. The car has been a great value and fun to drive, but there are 2 things I have to mention. I agree that the car needs a traditional transmission instead of the CVT. Secondly, I'm very upset with Honda discontinuing the coupe. There are people who still like driving coupes.

Just purchased a 2021 model but with black rims. I absolutely love it so far! Such a huge difference from the LX I once had

Coming from a 2017 Toyota Corolla SE and just leased a 2020 Civic Sport Coupe and it’s such a huge difference! As much as I loved my corolla as my first car, I love the sportier look to the Civic and the upgrades such as push to start, getting my windows rolled down with the key fob and even starting my car through the key fob! Such cool features

GREAT Job J.Raiti on this review!I have a 2020 CIVICSport sedan!!!'I Love It!

I appreciate you using common sense when doing your reviews. I know as a car reviewer it can be difficult to not expect luxury/insane performance from every car you test but every car is built to a price point. I see to often that interiors get picked on for not being fancy enough. Im like no, the 25k honda isnt going to compare to a 70k bmw lol

Excellent review Joe😊. It's a good daily driver. They should have included pockets.

The CVT is awesome. My left foot loves to make love to the dead pedal under the moonlight everytime. Also, I have Call of Duty triggers with Duracell + & - printed behind the steering wheel

Just got a 2020 Sport Sedan in standard because I refuse to drive a CVT. Hadn’t driven standard in a long time but they only had stick and CVT only. Happy to be driving stick again! Thanks for the reviews Joe!

I remember from when I was a kid, the Honda Civic was this Dinky stinky quirky little squared off hatchback that was just so weird to look at and look just so small. incidentally, my aunt also owned a Toyota Corolla coupe, and the thing I remember most was just how small it was and how damn difficult it was to get into. It's cool to see that Honda has kept dinky quirky little hatchback styling of Civics pasts, and for that reason alone I would definitely say that the Honda Civic Sport would be near the top of my list.

I do really enjoy your videos. I like going thru the red light on this one. Lol. Seriously I do enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work

Loved the way you describe everything. I have Honda Civic 2020 Sedan and I do have armrest in the back and backpockets in the seats behind. I do not know how you don't get them on your car!

Just bought a 2019 civic sport and I love it.

I'm 71yo and my wife and I have had this 2019 Civic Sport for just over a year now and absolutely love it. It's everything that Joe said and more. It also has a great audio system with plenty of bass. I do have one Major Zonk with this car. Whoever designed the side storage pockets on the doors should be .... you know what I mean. I don't know what's behind the doors but only about half, if that door panel space is used. It would have also been nice to be able to reset the tripometer with the steering wheel functions instead of manually but that's probably on the higher end models. All in all, you can't go wrong with this car. The one thing that I almost forgot to mention that does concern me is that I had to replace the car battery after 14 months and 12,000 miles. When AAA came out to the house, the driver told me that he had to replace the battery on a 2019 Civic the day before. No, I don't sit in the car for hours on end listening to the radio. Fortunately the 3 year, 36,000 mile warranty covered this issue. Honda, you probably should look into this. Thanks again Joe!

Had a 96 civic, drove it until the speedometer broke at 180k plus miles and sold it for $3500 two years after. Loved that car, manual and cloth interior and cheap to own.

I took one out last week with a manual.. It is a great car!!

I test drove the Rallye Red 2020 Civic Sport and I loved it. Everything from the exterior to the interior was perfect. My only dislike was it's not available in Factory Black which would have been my first color choice. It's only black color is Crystal Black. But I really like the Rallye Red and the Modern Steel Metallic. Lunar Silver isn't too bad either. I'm hoping to get one in about a month or two depending on how much of a down payment I need

Hey, I would love to see you review the 2021 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback.

This is perfect timing; I'm trying to choose between a Civic Sport, Corolla Hybrid and Forte GT right now!

$23k is just about right for this car. The rims are nice but it everything else is rather plain. Great review as always. Joe does his homework 📚👍

Awesome review man I really enjoyed.

No sirup needed...Made my day. I love my waffle iron civic though. Love your channel, man

Can’t wait for the redesign I’m looking forward into what Honda has in store for the future

Great video again my guy!!!!

Nice video k guys y doing the civic reveiw the most!

my boyfriend just got this car & we love it! it's such a nice car. A little jealous cause I have a 2018 corolla se & it beats my car completely. It's so nice!!!

I am a fan of you me channel. You sometimes review some really fantastic cars but we as fans just don’t get to see them as I think we should. It would be nice if you could do a walk around from a distance so that we can see the overall aesthetic of the car. Just a thought

The civic looks awesome I saw it yesterday in the showroom

I agree NO CVT!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 2019 Honda Accord touring 2.0t love it!!!!

It would be better if it didn’t have a CVT. I would pick it over the Corolla, manual vs manual. The curved line over the front fenders leading to the doors looks odd. It looks like a seam and would look better without it. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Great car to buy for sure! Especially if you’re the kind of person that likes to work on their own car. Tones of working room, nothing cramped

I’m gonna be a picky Peter here; you told us under the hood it was natural aspiration and your first on throttle you said the turbo was doing it’s thing lol. You do put videos out everyday so who cares about a Teeny mistake lol. Keep up the good work joe!

Nice review Joe!

This right here Joe!!! All of this!!! I have a 2018 and love it!!! Great commuter car, handles great, excellent on gas and has storage everywhere!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #CrownVic #OnThrottleAgain #Zonkmeister #HondaCivic #ZonkOnTheCVT

Sup Joe. Sorry I'm late Joe I'm currently in the car watching this review 🔥.

Love the Start/Stop feature..... If I had to dislike anything about it, it would be that it doesn't have an exterior matching color.... It's red only

I see you Joe throttling that red light at 13:32 haha

Got the 2019 Civic EX Sedan and love it! Sport trim looks great with the 18 inch rims but I like the extras with the EX. Heated seats, 1.5 liter turbo, moonroof & whatever else I am leaving out.

I bought this car with the CVT but in gray about 8 months ago. Very happy with it. I drive mostly in the city and consistently get 37-42 mpg. Then it got rear-ended with over $4K in damage. We'll see what happens when it gets out of the shop.

Great video thanks for sharing thoughts

I have the LX and I think a 6 speed automatic would be great. I’d trade the few MPGs for the conventional gears

CVT's are great I think.car drives really smooth.whys everyone hate them.unless its a v8 Camaro might be an issue but for grocery getter its mint.

I'm a middle aged man having had all kinds of cars and at this point can comfortably afford just about any car. I want one of these Civics in hatchback form, and definitely manual transmission

I am not sure if you have heard of this transmission but it’s called DCT. Better than a cvt or the traditional automatic tranny. You get a nice feel of the car and it shifts gears smoothly, it’s really nice. Better mileage too.

I have the 6mt sport in white just like the video, I love the sportiness it gives the car while maintaining its calm, daily driving ability. I have an 02 si and this car is ALMOST as much fun to drive as the ep3. Anyways, great video like usual!👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks for the review.

Agree with you joe! Hate the CVT transmission 🤢manual is the only way to go when it comes to a car.

Just got back from my trip to jersey. I’m here in central Florida. Drove my 2018civic si up and back I-95 doing 90mph at 3800rpm’s getting 38mpg. Not bad huh Joe?

I love my 2020 sport. I ended up with the hatchback version. It’s just enough car for my needs.

I got this on car in coupe and is amazing!!! Fast as hell

I’m currently looking at trading my 17 VW beetle for this exact car color & sport. It cost a lot more than my beetle but I think long term I would be better off with the civic. I love the pearl white color with the black trim.

Great review Joe. The civic sport model definitely shows well, l like the interior as well as built-in infotainment system would been nice if it was larger. Some options l noticed were missing.....Personally the better buy for me is definitely the Corolla.

2020 Honda Civic Sport does have a 6 speed manual but this car only has CVT that's the reason and also you could get a USB charger for the second row for a price of $152.

Hey Joe, loving the videos! Are you originally from NY by any chance?

I’m with ya Joe, I had a rental with a CVT 🤮 felt like the gearbox was a spongy rubber band. I’m down to row the gears myself 💪

I have that same one l love it . traded in my old 06 cobalt Lt with 130,000 miles

This with a manual is pretty much a naturally aspirated version of the Si, would be perfect with the ILX engine.

I have a Civic Sport so I'm probably a little biased in this in my answer. Yes for me a choose the Civic over the Corolla. I actually looked at the Corolla before I made my decision and hands down the Civic Sport won hands down. It may not have the performance that the SI does but at 66 years of age I don't need to be driving like I did @ 18 when I purchased a used 67 Camaro SS with the 4 speed manual lol. Thanks Joe

Nice review. This is the LX version in Canada.

No armrest for the rear passengers with cup holders major Zonk. Big ups for bringing a naturally aspirated engine as an option though. 👍

It would be good to point out that, in Canada, the Sport comes after the EX trim. So it gets all the goodies of the EX along with all the extra that the sport brings. So you actually get a sunroof, heated seats, rear center armrest, dual climate control and so on! I'm seeing a lot of Sport models in New York City lately, they seem to be selling quite well. But I'm wondering what they think when Sport owners see my Canadian model with the sunroof up. LOL

The 6th and 10th gen civic are my favorite civics.

I think the Civic is more appealing than the Corolla, but the Mazda 3 would be my choice in this segment. Really looking forward to that Mazda 3 awd Turbo. Despite the torsion beam.

You lads are mad peds been having cvt’s for years mate Cheerio

Still loving my 2018 civic hatchback

I have a Turbo Hatchback Sport, and to be completely honest, as much as prefer a Manual or Automatic, reality hits, and I’m just thankful to have a modern car. I just use the paddle shifters and pretend to be driving and shifting myself. It’s actually pretty fun and convenient for when I just want the car to “shift” its self.

Still deciding if I wanna upgrade to the 2020 Honda Civic sport from my 2018 Honda Civic Lx? Hmm. For the money, this new one is very well equipped especially with the safety technology.

Joe is the CVT not too bad? I’ve heard Honda CVt’s are pretty reliable nowadays.

Alright you sold me! Picking mines up tomorrow

Mazda 3 Sedan, Hyundai Sonata, and Kia Forte all the way! :) Also... It may be down on power but the Toyota Yaris Hatchback (Mazda 2) is a pretty fun, light, and efficient car too!

Great first car got mines yesterday

I own a 2020 civic sport with the cvt, and I wish it had a traditional automatic transmission for sure, other than the cvt, I love my 2020 civic

I’m with you Joe. I hate those CVT trans. The sound and the drive dynamics are so lack luster. To me it’s the true combo of a throw away economy car.

PERFECT JOB SIR! YEP 🥂✨

I REALLY want one of these! Thank you Mr. Raiti! Debating between a sport and an lx. Leaning towards the Lx for the price and value

I just bought one 2 weeks ago and I love my civic sport
