Is the 2024 Honda Civic Touring a BETTER sedan than a Toyota Corolla XLE? 

For $32k, no lumbar, no ventilated seats, no rear ventilation. It drives great, but Honda should those nice features for a Touring, would've really stepped it up for the price.

I have the same exact same car. Couldn’t be any happier. Honda Dealers mark ups are a down side. I believe it’s the most expensive in its segment.

Ya know, Joe, a new guy that I work with, has a black 23 Civic Sport. He was kind enough to let me sit in his for a little while to check it out. You know what was the first thing I asked? I said, "Can I turn your climate control knobs?" He asked why, and I said someone I know said they have such a good quality to them they sound like turning a dial on a Wells Fargo safe, and I had to see for myself. Lol. I know it sounded weird. Trust me. 😅 You know Joe, it certainly is Wells Fargo safe approved 👍🏻, and it's very roomy on the inside. That was my first time in a new gen Civic. 5/5 🌟

I’ve had 4 Corollas. Great for economy, scary when it comes to acceleration. I’m going Civic in this case.

Literally just bought this car last week, and I love it!

Joe Raiti's is the man! My absolute fave automobile reviews!

To be honest for 32k it doesn’t have that many options like memory seats and back buckets, it’s a a lot of money!

I got the 2024 Honda Civic Sport and love it. So glad I traded in my 2019 Hyundai Elantra sport it was in the service department more then I had it 🤣

After having my Silverado being my daily for the last 3 years, I've been in market looking for a new, comfortable & fuel efficient daily driver. Ended up buying a 2024 Honda Civic Touring $32,000 OTD. I've never owned a vehicle with less than 6 cylinders, (most of them 8) nor one with a CVT. But I gotta tell you that's its amazing and I'm really loving it. I still have my Silverado though! :D

Hey Joe wanted to give a clarification, the Sport DOES NOT have 19’s, the wheels are 18”, only the Integra provides an option for 19” wheels

Agreed on the ventilated seats. It's not like Honda doesn't have the tech, it's available on the Accord. Hyundai/Kia and Toyota offer them on a bunch of models and most domestics from Ford and Chevrolet do too. I would guess Mazda will probably start offering them on more models in the future as they go more upscale too. Not a big ask for Honda to offer them as an option on the Civic.

Looking for a car right now have watched a bunch of your vids thank you so much, great content

The jokes take the review to a whole new level while keeping it professional😂 Keep them coming Joe🤜🏼🤛🏼

Looks better than big brother Accord.

18” wheels are better for touring and those ones look very nice. Touring customers want a quieter cabin while sport customer want value and aesthetics

Toyota mostly beats Honda in pretty much every car these days, but in the compact sedan segment, the Civic beats the Corolla imo

Love your videos! Got one a couple months ago the sport touring hatch and great for everyday errands!

Nice review keep up the good work Joe

I looked at several Civics but ended up buying an Acura Integra A Spec trim and have no regrets.

I own a 2023 Civic Sport Touring, and my friend just bought a 2024 Corolla. I helped him choose, test drive, and everything. I would say: If you just want a daily commute car, Corolla is a very solid choice. It's very practical, it has a Hybrid engine and Toyota's Hybrid system is amazing. You cannot really go wrong with the Corolla. If you want a fun car, join Civic camp Civic is "a bit more" Corolla. It is a bit bigger (but not Camry yet), the Interior is better, it has more characteristics and is more fun to drive. Honda's handling is really good, it has great feedback and road response. I have been driving a Civic for more than a year and still love it and have fun every day. The sad part for Civic is: - It's more expensive than the Corolla - It doesn't have a Hybrid powertrain (yet)

Some rear AC vents would be nice for the price

Raiti dropping gems during March Madness

I just got a 24 Hatchback, and I love mine

The Civic is an icon! I like it!

i’m getting my first car tomorrow and it’s a 24 honda civic touring and this video is too good , just what i needed to know what i’m getting into . this guy’s so funny

I own a 2022 Honda civic touring red since New and love it.

Yes of course Joe & this should be my daily.

For daily driving these are fantastic cars.

This guy has the funniest car review videos hands down. He's not a ZONK!!!

Just got rid of my 2022 sport with the 2.0. CVT Transmission was already having issues, steering was sticking as well, oil leaks, etc. And barely 20k miles too, won’t be buying Honda anytime soon again.

For $32k I'm perfectly OK with a standard sunroof. That's a lot better than a Ford F-250 Lariat that costs $82000, and has NO sunroof. Just a lil something to put into perspective.

1st one here I watch your videos all the time I love them!!!

Awesome video man! always look forward to seeing the next car review, Civic is not bad, I would take the hatchback with a manual transmission.

10:22 You know your history! That’s so cool, and it was even featured in the Toy Story movies!

Thank you,I just purchased the 2024 Honda civic touring metallic I love it,the gas mileage and the amenities are very high quality. THANK YOU RAITIS for the great review..I've had a 2013 Honda Accord and have not had any problems with it . Regular maintenance will keep your Honda running like a reliable vehicle.

Anybody know when we will get a Honda Accord redesign. Current one is gross.

I daily one of these and it’s a solid little car! Only complaint is it’s noisy on the highway

Cannot go wrong with Civic 💪

Honda really nailed ergonomics in this generation. I like having big buttons and knobs. Some cars are moving towards putting far too many controls in touch screens or via haptic buttons. Honda keeps it simple and easy.

Wrong info on the Sport wheels. They're 18 also. C'MON Raiti!

Definitely, the civic has three drive styles, sport, eco,and I call it smooth it rides like a luxury vehicle in that mode.Its Definitely worth the purchase and the reliability. With gas fluctuations like they are its qorhthe reliability.

That small 1.5 turbo engine with a CVT scares me with long term reliability

I have been on a streak of watching your videos. I have to say im glad i just subscribed your the best!!!

In my opinion the interior door material and designs of my 10th gen rival the 11th gen, middle leather section is dressed up with after stitching, carbon fibre looking trim instead of gloss black, but everything else is a step up for sure

Amazing review Joe.

I really like the overall look of those civics Joe. They just don’t spare the horsepower I’d be looking for.

The bottom of the tray plate has a Civic logo, which is a good Easter egg detail.

Joe, you say the one vehicle in the class that doesnt have the CVT is the Jetta. Are you overlooking the Mazda 3?

My money is going civic. Hondas fwd system dominates in this class. Behind the wheel they’re fun to drive and handle well

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

Ok so I have 2023 sport and I would love the touring but with the sport wheels because I love them

I need to upgrade my 03 Civic.. I'm going Manual!!!! #SI

I have the sport touring Hatchback 6speed. I love it. ALTHOUGH, i changed out the turn signal bulbs to LED, had to take off the whole assembly, and go figure, they broke from taking them off, they split open at the seam, plastic feels very very thin and fragile, and now i have condensation iside! So annoyed because the dealer wants $300 for each. Well, other than that, the car is great. Tons of space for the kids along with trunk space.

3:27 Haven’t heard of that or watched Titanic, but I’ll check it out! Thanks for telling me Joe!

the reason touring has an 18” wheel is because you’ll be driving and cruising more which gives you a softer ride due to more sidewall, 19 would make the ride rougher

Honda better bring that 12.3 infotainment for the refresh lol

No "ZONK" for the lack of rear seat vents?

Wow nice car. Thanks for what you do Joe

It was Rose not Ruth that threw the diamond over @3:26

Got mine less than a year ago and already a recall on the power steering system being incorrectly installed. I got a 23, and I’m surprised Honda didn’t fix it for the 24 models… disappointing…

As always Great review! We need that Honda ridgeline black edition review!!!

I've taken one out for three days and can say it is by far one of the best on the market. Felt great, drove great, no complaints from what I was able to experience. That being said, Mazda3 is still my #1

Looking at the Honda website, and I don’t see a Civic with 19 inch wheels. Both sport and touring models have 18 inch wheels.

ligtht bulb cheaper to replace than a whole tail light unit that has led"s

Kia Forte GT Turbo charged 201 HP 195Lbs of torque in line 4 , 6 speed manual or 7 speed DCT transmission , sport multi link suspension , sport tuned exhaust system 0-60 in 6.5 seconds plus all the goodies MSRP 26k ... Way cheaper than any other competition 😊😊

Did they fixed the steering rack?

I feel like this is def a nice equipped trim level but i owned the 23 model touring and for $30k + too much road noise and rough ride…this trim should be priced at $27k

What about the very soft paint on this civic after a year or two it will blister and start to fall apart

Great video but incorrect on the wheels. Both Sport and Touring trims have 18” wheels. Only difference is Sport is painted black aluminum alloy and Touring has machine faced dual tone aluminum alloy. Overall great review!

Hmmmmm Forte GT 2 201 HP and 7 speed twin clutch auto, with REAL paddles... and nice exhaust note.

Please do not make a car buying decision based on the review like this one. This person gets the car from the manufacturers' dealer so he cannot say too many negative things about it. This Honda has incredible levels of road noise, more than any of the competitors such as Toyota or Mazda within the same price range, lacks driver lumbar support, passenger height adjustment (not even a manual one in the most expensive touring!!!) none of which were mentioned. So please make your decisions carefully. Yes the dynamics are great but what good is it when the noise levels are so high? How can one enjoy the Bose System when the noise is so bad, it cuts through any music you're listening to!!!

The sport and SI trims get the exhaust tips… literally makes no sense why they left it off the touring. The only thing I don’t like about mine

I have a 2023 Civic Sport, and the wheel size is 18", not 19.

Just put my daughter's name on a 24 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback (to be built in Apr 2024) not with the CVT but with the 6MT ... with the upcoming Civic hybrids in '25 this might be the last iteration of the 6MT (exc for the TYPE-R if Honda continues it?) ... Thanks Keith Chicago IL

Waiting to see the Civic hybrid.

It looks fairly fast here....what is the 0-60 time? Real world MPG?

It looks nice if I can’t get the hatchback sport touring I’ll get this one for sure.

Best compact. No question.

The sport touring are 18” wheels not 19”…..still great review Joe! A little disappointed at the 32,000 price tag ….for a Civic!!!! OUCH. I wanted this to be my next car but there will be some heavy negotiation going on or I will walk. Prices are crazy !!!!

Sport comes with 18” wheels also. The difference is the sport are gloss black

Got a 2022 civic touring sonic gray 🔥…runs great , sound system is perfect the car ride is a bit loud ? But overall I would buy this car again 👌🏽

I bought a 24 civic, sport trim…one thing I wish I could change is the arm rests…they are all to low…Joe next time you sit in one, see if you think they are to low! Just a little annoyance, not a big deal.

ON THROTTLE!!!!!

Hey raiti, do you think the sport or touring is better I can’t decide , the sports looks are better for me

I would have taken one if they did a 3.5L V6.

Both are reliable!

18 inch wheels on the sport, they are not 19 inch. Same size on the touring just different design and sport are all black. 18 inch on the hatch as well…..19 inch on the type R

Dealers aren't letting this go for that $32K MSRP

I drove civic and corolla but ended up LE hybrid base model, cracks me up small stuff they take out to make it as cheap as possible

Good little car, the Honda Stealership experience on the other hand guarantees that I will never set foot into one to buy a Honda. Always with a crapload of mandated worthless dealer installed accessories AND an ADM!

Hello, is the base Integra CVT a better car here? Ride, fit and finish, handling?

Crazy to know that this has more than the SI

Joe, Any idea when the newly redesigned 2025 Civic will be released? I know they typically come out atleast a few months before the new year.

he looks a bit cramped in the back hmmm also wait the sport touring doesnt come with ventelated seats? nor lumbar support wait what i was looking to get the crv and road a 2024 accord loved how roomy it was and well all the features wish it was 2025 wanted one in that year so i started looking into the crv since it was roomer and newer the only thing i hate is that no spare also wish i could get the accord but like the price is no different than the crv so im at a lose if i should just go for the crv or accord ! ahhh any suggestions would help thanks

Joe I crunched the numbers on this one: same ballpark as the GR86

Yes

Oh yes I did want 10 inches

32k no rear air vent no lumbar no memory seat

In Canada you can get an si for 3k more or get a vw gli for 3k less and an estra 60 hp

Wtf.. The jetta civic and corolla look nothing like eachother.
