The 2022 Honda Civic Sport Touring Is A Fun Commuter Car With A Premium Vibe 

Honda CVT's actually do not suck. In fact (with proper maintenance), Honda's present-day CVT's have proven to be even more reliable than not only their early CVT's, but also their conventional automatic transmissions. Like Toyota, Honda has good engineers who learn from their mistakes.

I ended up reserving the silver sport touring which only comes in black interior. Was super close to getting the white and gray but didn’t wanna pull the trigger on white being the more expensive color 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's great!

WOW, that's the same color exterior and interior I ordered. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of trust in the dealership. I was told in writing that it was built about a month ago and I could expect it to hit the dealership about now, or within about the next week, Earlier this week, the salesman finally wrote and said it was being built this past week and it would be another month. I am really ticked about this, but as you can probably guess, how much of a fuss can you make? This is NOT how cars should be sold and delivered. I'll let you know in about a month if it actually comes in or not. I have my doubts based on what has happened. Oh, and not long ago, they dropped the number of exterior colors and interior colors available in the build a Honda website.. Not sure if this was just a temporary thing or not. I had my heart set on the gray interior after seeing pics of it. Black interior is so common and boring as I see it. If they try to come along now and say I can't get the gray interior, I will be furious. I ordered this Feb. 28 and it sure was available at that time. Glad you are very happy with your choice and I hope I can say the same in a short time.

what was your OTD price?

Do you still have it ? Is it still worth it a year later ?

They are very rare! Good luck, hope you can find one.

The price is right on this car. It has everything you could want.

Civic used to look like a teenager car, now it looks more mature and elegant. All of those gens you mention are ugly in my opinion.

What kind of mpg's you getting with that Accord? Just kinda wondering why you're looking to downsize? Or do you just like the looks of the Civic better?

Of you are committed to driving an MT while being able to manage overall fuel economy, then choose the Si. If however you aim at easy city driving with a lot of stop-and-go then maybe the Sport Touring is more preferred. Anyway just my 0.02......

How’s the accord 2.0 with the MPG ?

I didn't realize you spoke on the behalf of the rest of us in claiming "we all agree the 6th gen Civic is the most definitive version".

@@ivanlowjones You're welcome.

Eh idk. 7th gen pretty iconic too. I see 7th and 10th gens more than any other civic on the road.

@ 5:40 heheh "My only gripe is Honda only offers the Sport Touring with the black interior, I would like them to see them offer in a darker interior..." - Exactly how darker than black do you want it? 🤣🤣

@@battosaijenkins946 You took the words right out of my mouth.

It stands up great

Mazda 3 is junk. It looks good on the outside but underneath it is built with subpar materials and buggy software. Go to the Mazda 3 forum and read all the complaints. It's pretty bad.

I love a sexy rear end like this one

Or get a GLI and get everything you actually want without the compromise. Honda should offer their top trims with a manual. The people buying manuals today are NOT looking for bottom trim models. Honda does not want to cater to those of us who have money now and still want a manual. I will also hold judgment until the integra comes out, but I am still pretty sure the GLI is going to be a nicer overall package. Hello if I could get an A4 with a manual, none of these offerings would be interesting.

@@notmethanks816 the gli is not a hatchback, vw's long term reliability is questionable and the red trim around the fog lights is pretty tacky looking.

As a follow-up to my comment a while back, I bought a new Civic Hatchback Sport Touring with 6-speed manual two weeks ago. I love it so far. To me this was a better choice for a daily driver and for trips with my wife than the Si, which lacks most of the creature comforts and some of the tech of the Sport Touring trim. What I would say to prospective buyers is to make your decision on what you value more - upscale features or driving dynamics. My car is fun to drive, but the extra hp, LSD, and stronger brakes of the Si are worth the trade-off in luxury features if you value driving dynamics more. The ride is fine in my car, especially for a compact car, but I'll be upgrading the rear sway bar soon to reduce body roll. I may upgrade brakes or at least brake pads at some point, too. I test drove the Integra a few times in the last couple years and liked it, and there have been a couple times in the last two weeks I thought maybe I should have bought the Acura instead, but the additional $5K for an A-Spec with Tech package to get the manual is a lot of money, and the upgrades from my ST to the Integra just weren't worth it to me at this time. I wanted a lower car payment than what I was making, cheaper maintenance, and better fuel economy. Also, it helped I was able to get my car in Boost Blue, which was a big factor. Maybe in a few years I'll upgrade to an Integra, or maybe a Type S!

Bought one too, loving it so far. Its only $20,000!!!

@@Ty-uy6bf I got the sport touring model so it was a little more pricey but yes a very good entry level car

@@Ty-uy6bf wow that is dirt cheap! Who is selling $20,000 Civics?

This car looks amazing but this exact model doesn’t seem to be available near me 😭

@@Noseycone get ahold of your dealer to order one. That's what I had to do.

Right there with you man. The HPD package really takes it to the next level and upgrades the front/back looks. I was worried the boost blue would be a bit loud for me, but I think the HPD kits brings it all together. I'm looking forward to the aftermarket tail light options for either a more clear or tinted look.

There is nothing sport about a civic 😂 eco car that’s it

Blue? You know that’s the worst color on a car. At least to industry insiders. Which I work with. Managers crap their pants when people come in to trade blue cars. They have a reputation of looking “cheap” all the bosses and executives say. Although good for young people. Anyways they are hard to sell so we don’t offer nearly as much money on trade for blue cars. The bosses always say uh oh here comes a “no sale blue car.” Manufacturers are cranking them out of course and colors are in these days so times are changing. My bosses have always been older white men. They just hate blue cars lol. The neutral cars seem to hold onto value tremendously.

Your blacks love those colors though they buy blue like hot cakes! So if you are black then ignore everything I said earlier and get blue. You Asians love white. It’s amazing how different ethnicities gravitate toward different colors and wheels! Omg. Or a carpeted dash board lol

I have been driving cars with the light control on the turn signal stalk for over 7 years and that hasn't happened a single time.

A sedan will have more trunk space with the seats up. The utility on the hatch is only superior with the seats folded down, which isn't going to happen with kids sitting back there!

Unlocks.

Meanwhile, some of us Americans hope that the e:hev hatch cones to the US. The hybrid doesn't have oil dilution and even though I have faith Honda's CVT, the I-mmd mechanism is just even better.

This one is the 6 speed ?

This is actually his second video on the 6spd sport touring

Did C/D use the 1ft roll-out method though?

@@eloneatmyshorts According to the test sheet, that number omits the rollout.

After you start the car, just push a button by the shifter, easy! Disabling auto-start-top isn't some complicated Volkswagen-esque menu or something.

Hondas have been like that for me since the late eighties.

@DOGS LOL no, not every time. Just each time you start the car. Or keep the a/c on and it will disable it automatically

It's really annoying to have to hit the button every time you start the car. Thankfully there are some aftermarket kits that permanently disable the idle-stop "feature" so the user doesn't have to hit the button every time they start the vehicle.

They have the sedan for that. I really like this design

You really dont want a lower roofline if you have any passengers

If you don’t care about a manual transmission, then yes you’re right. Kia offers more content for the money.

Honda fixed the oil dilution problem in ‘19

@@PapaShubz thanks. I ended up getting one and have had zero issues so far. Great car.

@@rtroiani had an 18 touring with cvt, no issues, just gotta change the cvt fluid when the car tells you! Currently waiting for my ‘23 ST cvt to come in

Ya in all the reviews I have seen it slowly opens

I think they have a reverse gear lockout at certain speeds

It is behind it will be a couple more years before the redesign

@@2004cyrus it’s actually coming out later this year. Spy shots already out

@@2004cyrus My imagination is they will do a mid-cycle refresh and hopefully make some refinements and updates but you're most likely right. The interior will have little to no tweaks while they while make some subtle exterior changes. Usually it's rear tail lights with Honda.

@@2004cyrus The Accord is being fully redesigned for 2023. That's why they haven't released the 2023 model yet. Heard they are going to reveal it in late summer

Acura models had Bose in the US, not Honda’s.

@@ajlee6933 The Wikipedia article for Honda Accord has many references to Bose being factory installed throughout the years. Lots of old forum posts talking about the Bose speakers on the Accord too.

No but if has a T66 turbo with NOS.
