THE MOST COMPLETE Honda Civic 2022-2023 Touring Review!!!!! 

😛😂

I just bought one of these in the hatchback body I'm loving it. It came with continental tires instead of Goodyear so I haven't noticed any annoying road noise yet. Maybe I just haven't driven long enough to notice it yet.

@@garrettdurr7155 Congrats on the new car! Glad yours isn't too noisy!

Can't imagine why anyone would want to emulate, or BE Doug Demuro, lol, but your impression was pretty spot on. Now ,never do it again! Lol.

@@johnfranklin5277 I figured I could trick some of his subs to coming over to my channel :P

Great comment and additions!

Hello! How exactly do you enable the Bose sound system I have a touring as well but I sort of just left the sound system the way it is 😅

@@omarvasquez2721 hey Omar, I first pressed the Home button to get out of CarPlay mode. When you’re on the Home Screen, go to the next page of options until you see “General Settings.” Tap that, then tap “Sound.” You should see an option for “Bose Centerpoint.” You just need to turn that on. I hope this helps 👍

I’d love to hear more about your impressions of the different driving experience between the ‘13 Accord EXL (I had a blue one I loved for 10 years) verses the top trim new Civic. Thanks!

@@dennisjones8906 Hey Dennis, I replied yesterday but I included a link to a Honda forum, so RU-vid must have deleted or hidden my reply. It's been almost a year since I was last able to drive the '13 Accord, so I don't really remember how that felt vs the new Civic. But immediately after getting my Civic I remember thinking it felt so much more agile compared to the Accord. The Civic is only about 10" shorter, but it feels so much more maneuverable. I always have to take a sharp right turn on my way to work, and the Accord would sway a bit through it. The Civic can take the turn at a faster speed with what feels like less body roll, especially if you're in sport mode. Lots of people have complained about the "cracking" sound from the plastic infotainment system expanding and contracting in hot/cold temps-this sound has gone away for me. I guess the plastic has relaxed enough. However, at about 4200-4300 miles I noticed an issue with the steering that wasn't there when I got the car. At faster speeds like on the interstate, the steering gets a little sticky. Idk if this is the best description. It feels like lane keep assist is on even when it isn't. To read more about this issue, find the "civic11forum" (I can't add a link or it'll get removed) and then search "sticky steering." There's a post that has abut 275 replies. The sticky steering issue is the only thing I don't like about the car, and I'm hoping for a recall on whatever is causing the issue. Aside from that I love it!

Right on! Enjoy the new car!

Thanks GoldenLass! Appreciate you watching and commenting.

I had to go watch some Doug stuff. That's when I started laughing. Realizing how spot on he actually was.

My man Brian! Good to hear from you again bud. Thanks for watching!

Hah, thanks Sam!

The resell value on old cars right now is ridiculous. This will be no exception I'm sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Anthony! I had a fun time making this one.

That's a great compliment, thank you Sylvain!

Thanks for the nice comment Sam! Enjoy the car if you get one!

Do replace the mediocre Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season tires, especially if you live in wintery snow climate but you will need winter tires. All-Season on the Civic just does not do well in winter. If you live in nice warm and non snow regions, the OEM Goodyear will do even though they are not very quiet tires. If you paid more than $1500 for Honda Care 8yr/120K miles, on a new Civic you've been had, other Honda dealers should provide you the real cost of Honda Care and add a small fee for their service in submitting warranty paperwork. You'll need steel wheels to mount your winter tires on, this is to avoid unnecessary damage to your new alloy wheels.

@@ComputerStuff we got one, white sport touring. It's everything you said it was and more. Just wanted to say thanks again.

@@In-obscurity-n7j That's awesome Sam! Enjoy the new car!

Thanks David!

Good choice!

Bought mine December 4th 2023...❤

We agree!

Congratulations Clay! I think you'll love the car!

No problem 👍. Enjoy the car!

The infotainment, especially CarPlay, does take a bit longer than desired to start up :( Supposedly the Touring has more sound deadener, and for that matter it has the acoustic noise cancelling, but it just doesn't work great. Loud road noise is a consistent complaint among Honda's current line up. Whereas Mazda seems to be obsessing about getting rid of road noise. I hope Honda addresses this soon!

Hey you might need to get that looked at I got the touring and the infotainment comes up very fast

The BMW would probably feel more premium no doubt, and be quieter, but it won't match the Hondas reliability. That said if that's not a priority for you, go with the German tank!

It's the motion of the.... pavement....

Yeah capless is fun - but make sure you have that funnel in case of emergency!

Thanks for watching!

Why didn't you?? Get something else?

Thank you Camille!

Thanks Michelle! For this review we used two iphones and Rode mics. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think you'll like the car a lot, but ultimately these should prove to be pretty reliable cars. Nothing is without its issues, but the warranty should cover you in case of a major problem.

Impressive. Wildly different experience from most, but glad to hear you have a good one!

My 2023 civic Sport is extremely quiet.

Hah, thank you!

In the trunk!

Thank you 🙌

Thanks Reilly!

Noted! Thanks for mentioning.

Glad you enjoyed!

They are still a fine car to buy. Don't let negative rhetoric scare you. You can have issues with ANY car you purchase. A Honda Civic will likely last you well into 200,000 miles. The 1.5L engine plus CVT comes with controvery but I think in real world experience most people will be fine. That said the car is a little "noisy" with road noise.

Great question. In a high performance car you have to worry about turbo maintenance, but in a Honda civic it's nothing. These Turbos are so small and so dialed in you have nothing to worry about.

Great tip!

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's a tennis ball can in my pocket.

Congratulations! Enjoy the new car!

Appreciate you watching!

The lack of memory seats was a bit disappointing for me as well. Still, that's not a dealbreaker for most and wasn't for us either.

No, no! Only when you need to fill up with a jerry can or emergencies. Regular gas pump handle works without any accessory.

They had to pinch pennies somewhere!

Noted. Have lunch with the CEO on Tuesday I'll bring it up then.

It is to my understanding that a set of quieter tires will address SOME of the noise, but I dont think Honda paid very close attention to quieter metals / sound material. In other words, it will help, but not fully solve.

Yes.

Pickup is outstanding and I had zero complaints about the CVT. Smooth. Complaints about pickup or CVT would be those looking for a Civic SI - which it needs to be understood, this is not! This is a semi-luxury eco car that is smooth to drive and efficient on gas. No hesitation, get one!

Well I had the CRV and the CVT is pretty hard to get past. At least the CRV was AWD but with the front wheel drive and the CVT both it’s pretty hard to really like this car. I got the Subaru Forester and it’s also goos CVT but it’s way better version of a CVT than Honda has. Ideally I wish they would do away with CVTs. They suck. No getting around that

No, they're not necessary on a little car like this.

Honda needs to fix the road noise issue.

yes you can remove engine covers!

Great question. It's been a while but yes I'm almost positive.

I think a lot of that is conjecture. A lot of real world practical experience seems to enjoy the 1.5t - that said a 2.0 Hybrid would be fantastic.

And blinding!

It's not a quiet car, that's true.

Except Hyundai and VW are junk cars

Sorry Bilal, not sure. Doubt it though. Heated seat chips are one of the chips that everyone seems to be short on!

Hey, I just confirmed with one of the dealerships in Ontario, Canada. They confirmed that Honda Civic Touring 2023 will have heated backseats. :)

@@inkhanation You're awesome! Thank you for confirming that and posting it.

Heated back seats and steering is only for Canada.

Its a known fact, chrome reduces horsepower.

Yes they are but it will be identical to this one.

Under Armour. Tried finding another pair, alas I can't :(.

Thank you! If only I could get viewership based on looks :P

Yeah between Toyota and Honda, their websites are horrible about representing the color properly. Best of luck on your search to find one to test drive!

Not a bad little car!

Yes. Same height. No problems!

Probably DX and LX

This car is a bit loud.

Yes.

No. FWD only!

Not a bad thing I suppose! haha

Agree'd. Fine little car!

lol, yes.

I'll ring up the CEO of Honda and ask ;P

I wish!

Think of it like... she purrs on the highway ;P

@@ComputerStuff Nah, 32 grand on a car and they can't put some foam in it? Forget it.

@@mr.grumpygrumpy2035 I agree. It is not a budget car anymore at that price.

I only find noise loud on terrible roads. If road noise is your biggest problem, buy a Cadillac. I took 3 months testing every car up to 40,000 and this car was heads above anything else.

@@garytryan I drove all cars (Mazda3, Corolla, Elantra, Forte, Jetta, Sentra, Impreza) in the same category with my wife, and we both agree that the Civic is the worst when comes to road noise. This is also confirm by car reviewers. Don’t need a Cadillac, just any other budget cars are fine. Even my old 8th gen Civic is crazy quiet in comparaison.

Correct.

In this economy, yes. :\

Thanks Mike! Glad you like them!

It's a light family car and the CVT is fine for what it is. If you want sporty you're looking in the wrong category my friend!

Sorry you feel that way. It's a pretty great review otherwise ;)

This video is 2 years old my friend... at the time of recording they were hard to find. That said, I dont know where you are located, but Civics are still popular little vehicles...
