Is the 2020 Honda Civic Sport the BETTER car to BUY than a Corolla?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- The Civic has been a value priced leader from Honda for years. The Civic Sport slots in right under the Civic Si. Under the hood is a naturally aspirated 2.0L inline-4 that produces 158HP and can be mated to a 6-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. On the outside you get a different grill, wheels and exhaust. On the inside you will find sport but comfortable seats, thick leather wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum pedals. Is the 2020 Honda Civic Sport the BETTER car to buy than a Mazda 3?

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 😂💯
Love reviews of common cars like this one. Something I actually have the budget to afford! Keep up the content, Joe!
I am so glad that I can bring the variety!
I think we all do 😁
@@cocmaster4474 Thanks for that!
Joe is awesome his 2020 Accord 2.0t Sport video pushed me on getting a Black Accord sport
So true. There's a million reviews on youtube of cars that nobody can afford. Cough, cough, Doug Demuro
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
whats your average mpg? close to buying one and just curious what like real life mpg is.
@@kevinmorse3738 I have the manuel and my average mpg is 36.
@@kevinmorse3738 35 average mpg with 70% of my driving being freeways in LA. Lots of traffic and city driving as well.
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. 💕
Nice try, we know you work for Honda
@@wrozay just say you’re broke bro
@@darwindark2561 im broke
I have a ‘20 Sport too in the Aegean Blue. Such a solid performer and never any problems 🤓😎
Does it have blind spot cameras?
*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 the same car in black 2 weeks ago had 14 miles on it I love it
@@Fazepagehonda Mine had 12 miles. Same white color. Year 2021 sedan version. Bought last month.
I know im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?

@Major Gustavo Instablaster ;)
@Riley Gage I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
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!
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.
I totally agree with you!
I agree as well, I dont know who started the tread but glad its starting to fade out.
Yeah, I hate that it seems to have become a trend to make it look like it's an ipad mounted on the dash among auto markers.
Tesla started it.
Love my 2018 Civic and my 2019 Impala with decent sized infotainment screens that don’t block your field of view and leave lots of room for traditional knobs and buttons.
It’s unfortunate that the Civic infotainment system is laggy garbage. Aftermarket definitely required
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.
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 just picked it up in the same color almost a week ago. It had 2 miles on it. This is my first Honda I’ve ever owned but so far I really like it. Congrats on the new car.
Agreed. I went from a ‘16 LX to a Sport. Its definitely has a livelier performer for sure. 🤩🤩
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!
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
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 🙂
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 👍
I got this Honda for about a month now and I can honestly say, it was the best change from the Corolla to the Civivc I ever made. I highflying recommend it
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.
Thanks for sharing that great input! I really appreciate that!
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 agree NO CVT!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 2019 Honda Accord touring 2.0t love it!!!!
Very nice! That is a great car Drew!
Whats cvt?
@@torihall2972 Continuously Variable Transmission.
@@RaitisRides you back at it again. The Canadian market is a bit different. Most people go for either civic, corolla and Mazda 3 here in the East coast and also the SUV trend is growing due to our winters but that also means rising costs of those SUVS due to demand. On the other hand compact cars are almost as big as sedans and people are missing the mark there i think.
Do you experience major lag at stop and go traffic Drew? We’re same except I got the sport variant. Driving on D always maybe that’s why.. sport mode is a beast but eats gas like a v8 if on full time especially on boost
GREAT Job J.Raiti on this review!I have a 2020 CIVICSport sedan!!!'I Love It!
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!!
Thanks Reagan! I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
I love the HDMI exhaust lol!. Watching your informative video makes it more enjoyable. Thanks.
Thanks Jun for letting me share the cars and some laughs with you!
I love these reviews. Super informative with normal cars, and the humor sprinkled in is hilarious!
Thanks for letting me share some laughs. I appreciate your great support!
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.
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
All fluff. Your Toy would and will last longer. Oh, I own a Civic. Lol
My wife has this Car 2020 Sport 2liter 6 speed manual, It gets Great mpgs 37 mpg at 79 mph all day long on 89 octane gasoline. Easy 45+ mpg if you drive it around 55-60 mph with 93 octane gasoline. Maybe I should do a Video of the read out after a 60 mile drive. Good luck finding one for $23.000 With under 1000 miles, Clean Title.
I see you Joe throttling that red light at 13:32 haha
LOL
That non-turbocharged engine, doing it's business. ;)
Can’t wait for the redesign I’m looking forward into what Honda has in store for the future
It shouid be interesting for sure!
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!!!
More roomier too!
You’re the best reviewer keep up the great content 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!!
Very futuristic looking car
I love my 2020 sport. I ended up with the hatchback version. It’s just enough car for my needs.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience Adam!
same my 2019 Civic Sport Hatch is my first car ever and I love everything about it, the best handling and most fun car in its class
BMO I see you on almost every forte gt comment section. 😂
$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 📚👍
Thanks Louis! You are so awesome! Thanks for the support!
I like this Honda Civic sport it’s a really nice car I think it’s nicer and Better than Toyota Corolla!!!
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!
Good call man!
The Corola CVT is pretty smooth with shift points. Much better ride. Extra 1 second is not worth the smooth quite Corolla
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 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.
Just bought one. Great looking in my opinion. Thanks for the in-depth review!
Agreed 💯 no cvt🙅🏾♂️
💯
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 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
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
Great video I love my Honda Civic sport it so good with the handle and speed
You are so very right!
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.
Darn, guess you gotta buy a Type R then! 😁
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.
I hope you are doing okay!
@@RaitisRides The trunk lid actually held up really well and took most of the impact and the airbags didn't deploy.
I would say this is a perfect budget car that fun to drive and learn with the manual, and it is a perfect first car if comes with the CVT.
I totally agree with you!
Just bought a 2019 civic sport and I love it.
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!!
I took one out last week with a manual.. It is a great car!!
Just got one this past Saturday, I got the dark grey love it so far ❤️
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
Thanks for sharing that that well written comment based off your experience!
You look good for 66
Hope you kept the SS.
Nice 👍🏽
@@DS..69 I only wish I had David. I paid $1100.00 for it back in 1971 from a car lot called Drag Street. About two years ago I saw a 67 SS go across the line on Meaom Auto Auction with no reserve and it sold for $130K. It was identical to the one that I had. Blue with the white strip around the nose. 4 speed manual with the center console and the hide away headlights. Damn! Who new?
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!
Richard Favreau Sorry for the late response. The dealer told me the battery costs $200.00. I do my best to avoid potholes. Good so far as to avoiding damage. I have hit some. My problem was making too tight of a right turn. I’ve done it twice and have some nicks and minor tire damage. I’m a retired school bus driver and know better. I now make a mental note in those situations.
Yes the Civic Sport should DEFINITELY HAVE A TRADITIONAL AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION over the whimpy lackluster CVT!!!!!
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!👍🏼👍🏼
Just got my ralleye red Civic sport! So glad I can fit my case of twinkies in the glove compartment. Thanks joe!
I love it with Automatic because I don’t know how to drive manual. Plus I’m in New York City. There’s a lot of traffic here and stop lights. So having a manual is a pain in the legs.
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Living in NYC and driving?? I only do subways in New York but since relocating to Texas, I've been driving Honda standard transmissions for 20 years last month and I must tell you-it's very fun and sporty to drive and it won't be a pain in any way - only thrills.
@@subwayfantx1608 With the covid right now, I don’t wanna take the subway. Subway has the biggest chance you can get covid cause everyone riding a subway. Yeah they said manual is fun but the traffic and speed limit here will limit that. There are a lot of times that you’ll be stuck in very slow traffic for an hour and if you’re driving manual, you’ll mostly hurt your feet every single day. It must be nice to drive there in texas I guess.
@@Sauce-ke totally understand. Do your thing in this Covid mess and be safe.
No sirup needed...Made my day. I love my waffle iron civic though. Love your channel, man
Thanks Manuel for letting me share some laughs and cars with you!
@@RaitisRides so much positive energy, so much love for cars. My only Problem with your videos is that you show us chocoholics where to hide some more snickers
The civic is a great car and it has it quirks for being an affordable price however I think they really need to update the interior as the Corolla has the advantage
That is a great point.
Ma opinion is different. I think Toyota in general have worst looking interiors in car industry. Looking so cheap and dated.
Nikola Gregic I can see how as a lot of the interior in both cars are different in style exterior and interior however I think that the Honda Civic for 2016 and now as the same style over the years and it’s just hard to tell what’s new in the car
@@andy9651 They probably just waited to do an interior upgrade until the new version of the car comes out in the next year or so.
i don't like the tablet style screen in the corolla. it reminds me of those mini dvd players with screens. pretty cheap that they tack on a screen instead of integrating it into the dash like the civic
My 2017 Civic Hatchback sport has 165,000 miles and counting. No problems with cvt been doing oil changes every 25,000 miles.
25,000 miles?! I've heard of 15,000 mile oil changes with certain full synthetic oils, but never 25,000 ...
@@2thePtBassTuT I meant for the CVT and 5,000 miles for motor.
Still loving my 2018 civic hatchback
Thanks for sharing that!
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
Agreed on the CVT. I would have bought Honda for my daily driver because the steering feel and braking feel / suspension felt really amazing for the price point but I ended up buying the 2019 Camry because no CVT, the 8 speed drives so much better. I just can't stand CVTs
I have the 2019 Honda Accord touring 2.0t it has the 10 speed transmission.
I know how you fee!
@@drewbenefield2001 That is the way to go!
@Raiti's Rides Your review sold me!!! Thank you 🙏🙏
@Randy Jackson I do my oil changes every 5000 miles. I take very good care of my cars and I’ve had good luck with Honda’s. But I do also like Toyotas!
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
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and some laughs!
This is perfect timing; I'm trying to choose between a Civic Sport, Corolla Hybrid and Forte GT right now!
Have u seen the Honda Insight ? I think it’s a better car than the corolla hybrid it has more trims to chose from. The corolla only comes one way.
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.
Agree with you joe! Hate the CVT transmission 🤢manual is the only way to go when it comes to a car.
Hey, I would love to see you review the 2021 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback.
Civic is more driver focus in my opinion.I like it!!!!!
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.
I have this car in black and I LOVE IT 🤩💖 I just wish it had a sunroof lol
I have a question can u turn the theme to blue instead of red like the other ones
@@Mir-bt9vm only in the infotainment screen not the gauge cluster /:
Joe is the CVT not too bad? I’ve heard Honda CVt’s are pretty reliable nowadays.
I completely agree about having a conventional automatic. CVTs are terrible, especially in Nissan vehicles.
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
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
Great first car got mines yesterday
That is so wonderful! Congrats!
I bought the touring version 4 days ago. Very happy owner.
Congrats ! I am so happy for you!
@@RaitisRides Thanks 🙂
I like the Honda Civic Hatchback Automatic transmission.
Nice man!
I own a 2020 hatchback sport but the CVT gotta go
The other people in the area: Hey Betty...there goes that car test guy again.😂
LMAO! You are so very right!
@@RaitisRides Love the videos. You are easily my go-to for car reviews!
Haha, I was the youngest of three in the middle of the back seat growing up, but the elbows coming at me weren't resting. I felt like a pounded steak when we finally got home =(
Alright you sold me! Picking mines up tomorrow
It is a sophisticated compact sedan in an entry level price tag. The only downside would be the infotainment system, wish it has the new Accord info system. Mechanically this civic will run forever because of the NA engine and CVT. Great reivew, Raiti!
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!
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
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.
This civic I’d tie w the Corolla because it’s not turbo.
The other trims of the civic I’d take the Corolla
The 2.0L Civic is actually slower than the 2.0L Corolla.
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
I just bought one 2 weeks ago and I love my civic sport
@therealman I paid 22,395
@@Fazepagehonda i bought one this August and payed 21000
This thing should not have a CVT it should be manual or automatic no in between
Excellent review Joe😊. It's a good daily driver. They should have included pockets.
This with a manual is pretty much a naturally aspirated version of the Si, would be perfect with the ILX engine.
Traded in my jeep for this and can’t be happier
The civic looks awesome I saw it yesterday in the showroom
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
You are so very welcome.Make sure you drive them back to back to get a real feel.
Raiti's Rides 👍
Does the LX have Apple CarPlay ?
IlIIlIlIlIlIl in Canada I believe they do since they have the touchscreen but I live in the US so no not here. The US mode lx does not have a touch screen
Spend a bit more and get the sport! You’ll get the alloy wheels in the Sport over hubcaps on the LX
I LIKE CVTs. Don't get the hate for the smooth acceleration and braking.
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
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I am two years late! But I still buy one Joe.

Thanks Jay! I am so glad that I can share it with you!
It looks 1000 times better than any corolly
I agree with you!
I never get tired of civic
I prefer the civic for Style, Fun to drive and great economy on gas. That's why I love mine. 👍
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
Awesome review man I really enjoyed.
