I have decided I really don’t want to spend so much on my BMW M340i, a car that sits in my garage for five days a week and one in which I almost never use all the performance! I test drove the Civic Advance for four hours and found the seats much more comfortable than the cardboard like ones in the BMW. Ideally I would have liked more black trim on the Advance but not the all-black wheels (of the Sport). I have ordered Crystal blue with Nordic silver mirror caps, Elegance mats and Premium White Illumination Pack incl. illuminated tread plates and puddle lights. I thought the car was effortless pulling away from standstill (and really not that much slower than my M340i). Obviously, at high 80mph+ speeds the BMW’s performance was more sparkling. The Honda felt to be a truly well designed and engineered vehicle with handling genuinely very close to that of my BMW (a real compliment bearing in mind the Honda is FWD!) and the ride was, if anything, slightly better than my BMW in Comfort mode. I will admit that road noise was slightly higher than in my BMW but, overall, for a car that is £15,000 cheaper than my BMW was, I was truly impressed. My only real criticism was the infotainment screen being angled slightly away from the driver (why??) and the doors not being fully trimmed on the interior B-pillars (although, nor are Audi A3s and Mercedes A-Class). My Advance is supposed to be delivered in March 2023 just in time for the new English registration plate. Addendum… I’ve just been told blue AND red cars will not be delivered in England until late May / early June 2023!
I too have ordered the Advanced in Crystal Blue, like you from the UK and yes waiting till March. I was very impressed with my test drive, comfortable, good performance and refined. The handling was also impressive i have ordered the Red Illumination Pack, plus Blacked out Emblems. This is coming from a present FK8 owner.
Pilotsport contact 4S is a very good tyre for spirited driving. But is very noisy on highway speeds (100kmph+). So for regular highway commuters, this might be annoying. Swapping to a silent tyre will make this a fantastic daily driver, as the powertrain is super quiet at all speeds.
So i have been driving my Honda Civic for 1 week now. So far, I have 5.4L per 100 km after around 250+ km driven. I mostly used it for going to work and i mostly, 90% of the time, drive on the highway with 120+. I think that's a good result.
When I drive from Gibraltar to Malaga and back, which involves a number of hills and the speed varying between 80 and 120km/h, I average 4.5L/100km. It's super good on fuel. My average in my Kia Cee'd 1.6GDI (previous car) for the same trip was ~5.7L/100km. This wasn't exceeding 110km/h either.
I'm driving the previous generation with the 1.5Turbo, I wonder what your fuel consumption would have been with my car. If I had to guess I'd say 4,9 l/100km.
@@Schreibtisch1 If I drive from my house to Algeciras and back, I average 3.5L/100km. That's proper mixed consumption, with speeds between 50 and 100km/h.
It moves only with electricity but on higher speeds there is clutch engagement (there are no gears) in a ratio to 1 by 1. This is where we should see consumption.
I do not know what kind of noise you are talking about. I was on a test drive last week and must say the car was very quiet and smooth. I was driving the car in the town 50 to 60km/h and also on the highway 130 to 150km/h. Comparing to my 6 years old Volvo V40 2,0 much more quiet responsive and comfortable. When I was sitting on the back seat I only noticed the noise from tyres. But there was not any cover on the trunk. I already ordered Sport in white colour. As I was informed by the dealer it will come in the second quarter 2023.
If I can make one small request alongside this, regarding consumption, it would be interesting to see it at higher speeds, 120-140 if it's allowed in that highway area you're using for test driving. I know the engine drives the wheels between ~80-120 km/h, after that it's back to electric, but the engine still runs. The question is, which speed (and which power source) is more fuel efficient on the highway?
Hi as retired Master Motor Mechanic and everything else mostly Top end Euro cars, I would buy the Honda over Toyota even thought there also great reliability. I have to say I am a Honda convert for many years I going to buy the new Civic Hybrid or CRV Hybrid love the tech and by far the best reliable and resale valve which most reviews never mention in the tests. Buy the Honda Cheers
@@mylx1 it stands for Transmission but in case of the Honda Hybrid System it’s an e-cvt. The Electric Motor drive the car and with a clutch the motor can drive it too (like youre in the 6th gear) No Transmission in this System!
I tried the Advance version and it was very noisy from 40 km/h. I think it is not about the volume of the noise but the "type" of noise : it's like pressure on ears. I found much more supportable with glasses opened as this pressure disappear. This civic is a great car but with great defaults like : tall smartphones don't fit in the charger space, Android Auto with wire (USB-A, in 2022-2023...),a lot of little things that are annoying in the daylife. The visibility is correct, not that good. Try the Jazz/ Fit and you will see what is a good visibility with a very large windshield. But the driving sensations are crazy.
Which Is your wishlist of cars that you are considering to buy? It Will Be nice a comparison in future between this Honda and the Corolla hatchback 2023 when It Will Be available..
Hey, can you give an example of a more powerful car using less on the highway? My 1.0l 110hp 3 cylinder uses a lot less, but it's not the same confort the rest of the time.
How do you guys think about the reliability and longevity of this engine setup at 300.000km+ ? I'm really interested in the true cost of ownership meaning also maintenance and repair costs.
@@cstrx11 That's true if it's really the case. I also meant that this engine design is quite new and complex with many more parts. Does that increase the likelihood of something breaking ? And if yes would the repair cost be sky high for engine related issues?
@@Humanaut. I don't think there will be a lot of problems with the engine itself. It's a relatively simple ICE engine, no turbo, no compressor, no intercooler, no double-mass flywheel. The only weak point can be the direct injection, but the new Honda engines are not prone to carbon buildup. Electric motors don't break, the power electronics can go bad, but Honda has enough experience in that area already. As for the battery... that a different topic. I don't think it will still be properly working after 200.000kms. Replacing it can cost a lot, but we will see. Usually there is a lot of reserved battery power in cars, so the degradation is not that obvious, but after a lot of driven kms. However, if you drive long distances the battery will not be used. But in that case, it doesn't even worth it buying a hybrid to be honest.
@@cstrx11 Thanks a lot for your detailed response! That's good to know. And as for the battery, at least it's relatively small and as it isn't even really used to power the car but basically just to temporarily store the energy to release it in a more efficient manner i don't think the degradation is as impactful as in an EV that actually runs on battery power alone. The upside to this small battery is that it's at least a lot less expensive to replace than an actual pure EV battery pack. I was really just looking for a robust car that can run over many years and as many kilometers as possible.
Hey SDA, this car has many safety features that beep. Do you know if you can mute them(permanently)? I don't mind seeing lights but those sounds and auto steering if you're too close to the lane edge will be annoying
I go from Poznan to Warsaw (Poland) - 320 km 3 times a month. Do you think Civic is good for that "only highway" driving? I need a car which consumes little fuel with a minimum of 140 km / h.
If you buy one, which spec will you get? In UK the advance is very well priced for a car with so many extras so I ordered that one, even though I prefer the black wheels on the Sport.
Sport and Advance are both very enticing in their own way. Sport has some nice black elements like wheels, black top door trim and black inner roof lining. All makes for a cozy sporty feeling. Advance on the other hand is loaded with features with a lot of light+ feeling of roominess (chrome top door trim, diamond cut wheels, light coloured inner roof lining, pano. roof). It depends on what feeling you want from the car and how more or less features you are happy with for the price :) (For me it's a sonic grey in sport)
@@carthick1000 sonic grey with the black wheels is my favourite combo! But I'm an old fart so I like my comfort and went for advance, and I'm getting white because grey is such a long wait due to its popularity.
I am also from the UK. I have ordered the Advance in blue unfortunately not available till March , very impressed when i had a demo of the car. Great ride and handling, good performance and nice equipment . This is coming from a present owner of a FK8. On Carwow they did a 0-60 in 6.7 not bad at all.
There is no CVT in the car. It has no double clutch at all. The sound of the automatic transmission is artificial what another car journalist found out. So it does not shift at all.
Too much action on the touchscreen, searching for the route, while you’re driving - totally NOT recommended! You can pull over and set the route, then you can drive safely. Otherwise, a very good car, well optimized for city and mixed traffic. On the highway the consumption is bigger not only with this car, but with all cars (maybe, exceptind those with diesel engines, but they are not suitable for city traffic). I have the 10th generation Honda Civic, Sport Plus (MT) and I’m very happy to drive it (since 2019). But, in city traffic the consumption is HUGE and the pleasure of driving tends to 0. The 10th generation Honda Civic is a car designed for highways and curvy roads, while the 11th generation is a good compromise. The 11th generation has a way better driver’s seat (much more comfortable and much more customizable for the driver’s anatomy). The rear mirror could be bigger. I would consider buying this car, because the traffic conditions in Romania are more suitable for HEVs rather than standard ICEs.
Recently I got my first stable job with a decent salary, and I was considering the Civic as my proper first new car. Kinda disappointed to see that here in Spain the Sport model doesn't have the black badging, spoiler and skirts, they look so, so good. I know this question can be a bit tricky as both are quite different cars, but how would you guys say this one compares to the Corolla? Those were my 2 main options :)
I don't know how it works in other countries but in Poland we've got 3 trims: Elegance, Sport and Advanced, and for each of them you can add 1 of 3 accessories sets: Carbon Light, Sport and Nordic Silver which will include additional parts like i.e. spoiler, badges, skirts etc. So even if your dealer don't have cars with one of those accessories set put on, then maybe you can additionally buy them. Same with illumination accessories. For many years that's how Honda was working, so select car trim and accessories separately. Most (if not all) accessories were put on by dealer when the car arrives.
Really not that great consumption on road and highway. I have a honda civic 1.5 Turbo MY20, and actually do a lot less then that. Comute to work everyday 35 kms, 10 km highway 140+ kmh, 20 km road 90 /100 kmh, 5 km city, i average 5.5l/100km. I have gone this summer on vacation fully loaded car with 4 persons, with ac always on, drove 1000+kms highway and got 5.7l avg with avg speed of 135km/h, some times 150km/h / 160kms/h Obviously in pure city, stop and go i will do 7,5l/100km while this on the other hand will do like 4,5/5l. Conclusion, if its for city buy the new model, if its for touring, road trip buy the 1.5 turbo while they are still avaiable.
I have one and my lane assist is fine, I would get yours looked at by the dealer, and I get better fuel consumption than this Honda especially on the motorway.
I got my Civic Sport last Wednesday. No, there is no wireless Android Auto, you need a Cable. But, i bought the AAWireless Dongle for 90USD and with that i can now use Android Auto wireless in my new Civic.
Hello guys, I am interested in this car and I have a question: what's about a trip in mountain, four people on board? I have not found anything on the web about it... How much could be the consumption and how is the torque in comparison to a 1700 or 2000 turbodiesel? Beside, I have another question. All this battery recharging cycles may compromise the duration of the battery in the years? Thank you 🙂
In Honda current doesn't go through battery all the time- it goes directly to electric motor. Only surplus of energy goes to battery, but in also special way, so battery is never overcharged or discharged very low. I don't think first 10 years should worry you.
I think that the car’s body will go down faster than the battery over years… Uphill you will have a bigger consumption and downhill you will go most of the time in electric and hybrid modes, depends of the angle of the road and of the traffic conditions (probably you would go most of the time in electric mode, as with an EV). The torque is 315 Nm (electric!); my 10th gen. Civic has a 240 Nm torque and is not a “lazy” car.
My 2021 e Skyactiv x Mazda 3 will easily get less than 4.5L per 100kms on the motorway at say 115 kmph so you don't need a hybrid to get good fuel economy. I think this Honda is better suited to urban driving for good consumption.
This is well known fact and no one negates it. How much does Mazda Skyactiv X use in city :) ? Depending where you want to drive most you can choose what suits you more. It's not just about fuel consumption but overall driving experience. Both Toyota na Honda are more dynamic and give you very good instant power in moments when you mostly need it (like turbo engines, but without turbo engine relatively bad reliability).
In city traffic conditions the consumption with an ICE is bigger than with a HEV, because the brakes does not put back your fuel in the tank as with the electric power in a HEV’s battery. 😊
@@sorinpirtea2306 I now have a Honda Civic hybrid and you are right about the brakes which makes it very economical for town driving I recommend the Civic to anyone, self-charging hybrids are a great thing if you have no garage or drive to charge your car.
Overall, this or Citroen C5 X petrol 180hp? Interested in motorway, comfort, acceleration when passing, characteristics to price ratio. Thx Btw, can the artificial noise be turned off? Engine, Transmission or whatever is simulating.
@@nick5085 Just checked the manual, cannot see anywhere that says you can time delay the doors. In the UK at least, never had that option on my current FK8 and previous Civic's.
My optimized 2018,BMW 330i (300hp) xdrive average 7,2 in mixed highway and small roads and then I even include some inspired gashitting and turboengagement It is the most economic, comfy and still raceinspired car I ever owned. So I am not that much impressed to be honest, great vid though
Before You buy this car check protection against rust under the car there is clear metal not protected by nothing. I was also interested by this car but when I see movie about no protection against rust now I just stopped thinking about this car :(

I don't know how it works in other countries but in Poland we've got 3 trims: Elegance, Sport and Advanced, and for each of them you can add 1 of 3 accessories sets: Carbon Light, Sport and Nordic Silver which will include additional parts like i.e. spoiler, badges, skirts etc. So even if your dealer don't have cars with one of those accessories set put on, then maybe you can additionally buy them.
Same with illumination accessories.
For many years that's how Honda was working, so select car trim and accessories separately. Most (if not all) accessories were put on by dealer when the car arrives.
Really not that great consumption on road and highway. I have a honda civic 1.5 Turbo MY20, and actually do a lot less then that.
Comute to work everyday 35 kms, 10 km highway 140+ kmh, 20 km road 90 /100 kmh, 5 km city, i average 5.5l/100km.
I have gone this summer on vacation fully loaded car with 4 persons, with ac always on, drove 1000+kms highway and got 5.7l avg with avg speed of 135km/h, some times 150km/h / 160kms/h
Obviously in pure city, stop and go i will do 7,5l/100km while this on the other hand will do like 4,5/5l.
Conclusion, if its for city buy the new model, if its for touring, road trip buy the 1.5 turbo while they are still avaiable.
There is no CVT transmission in the car ... nor any transmission... dyor
Yes 👍
you know it has no gear box and the gear change are from the hi fi? :-)
I was thinking about Mazda 3 but its lane assist control is a total joke and borderline dangerous. This is so much more sorted for longer trips.
Mazda 3 has torsion beam suspension at rear. Not even multilink independent suspension like Civic.
I have one and my lane assist is fine, I would get yours looked at by the dealer, and I get better fuel consumption than this Honda especially on the motorway.
nice color..thank!
Thanks 🙏 🤗
Consumption on 120-130kmh constant? How many u think?
5l
hi Dan, do you know if the car has also wireless android auto? Have you tried? George
I would like to know this also!
It doesn’t, it’s only with wire
I got my Civic Sport last Wednesday. No, there is no wireless Android Auto, you need a Cable. But, i bought the AAWireless Dongle for 90USD and with that i can now use Android Auto wireless in my new Civic.
@@Setekh13 I've got my Civic working wirelessly using Android Auto, NO DONGLE!
@@ionelupsky I've got my Civic working wirelessly using Android Auto. Doesn't need a wire.
Hello guys, I am interested in this car and I have a question: what's about a trip in mountain, four people on board? I have not found anything on the web about it... How much could be the consumption and how is the torque in comparison to a 1700 or 2000 turbodiesel? Beside, I have another question. All this battery recharging cycles may compromise the duration of the battery in the years? Thank you 🙂
Battery comes with 8 years warranty (UK) upto 70% life. As all battery devices it will reduce over time.
In Honda current doesn't go through battery all the time- it goes directly to electric motor. Only surplus of energy goes to battery, but in also special way, so battery is never overcharged or discharged very low. I don't think first 10 years should worry you.
I think that the car’s body will go down faster than the battery over years… Uphill you will have a bigger consumption and downhill you will go most of the time in electric and hybrid modes, depends of the angle of the road and of the traffic conditions (probably you would go most of the time in electric mode, as with an EV). The torque is 315 Nm (electric!); my 10th gen. Civic has a 240 Nm torque and is not a “lazy” car.
there is no transmission. so, you cannot hear it ))
Yes 👍 right
My 2021 e Skyactiv x Mazda 3 will easily get less than 4.5L per 100kms on the motorway at say 115 kmph so you don't need a hybrid to get good fuel economy. I think this Honda is better suited to urban driving for good consumption.
This is well known fact and no one negates it. How much does Mazda Skyactiv X use in city :) ? Depending where you want to drive most you can choose what suits you more. It's not just about fuel consumption but overall driving experience. Both Toyota na Honda are more dynamic and give you very good instant power in moments when you mostly need it (like turbo engines, but without turbo engine relatively bad reliability).
In city traffic conditions the consumption with an ICE is bigger than with a HEV, because the brakes does not put back your fuel in the tank as with the electric power in a HEV’s battery. 😊
@@sorinpirtea2306 I now have a Honda Civic hybrid and you are right about the brakes which makes it very economical for town driving I recommend the Civic to anyone, self-charging hybrids are a great thing if you have no garage or drive to charge your car.
This time you drived much better not like an old man :-)
Hehe 😁🫣👍
Overall, this or Citroen C5 X petrol 180hp?
Interested in motorway, comfort, acceleration when passing, characteristics to price ratio.
Thx
Btw, can the artificial noise be turned off? Engine, Transmission or whatever is simulating.
Both are good cars but somehow different price range and hard to choose
Does the doors automatically lock when you start driving ?
Can’t remember 🤔
No
Yes can programme the time delay for it also in digital setup screen 😊
@@nick5085 Just checked the manual, cannot see anywhere that says you can time delay the doors. In the UK at least, never had that option on my current FK8 and previous Civic's.

I love the look but I did expect a bit better mileage . The Corolla Hybrid gets about 4.3 L / 100 km.
Thanks David for feedback....I will test corolla soon
Are you talking about the 1.8l hybrid version? Because that one is very slow.
the Corolla hybrid is only 138 hp. the AWD model only gets 45 mpg which is low for such an underpowered car..
Without AC you probably get 6.0 l/100 km😉
😊👍
Kia ceed gt vs this?
Where is the high speed part with 130+ km/h?
Civic or Mazda 3?
Has to be the civic!
Depends on what you value but most reviewers chose the civic.
The Mazda has some + points too though.
Civic 😊
Which is quieter? Mazda 3 or Civic?
@@vedranmatanic3653Mazda 3 is quieter, but Civic is simply more enjoyable to drive.
Does the advance model come with a head up display?
No.
@@carthick1000 thank you
No 😪
There is no CVT in this model!!!!!!
Yes 👍
did you managed to get the top speed above 200km/h??
Didn’t try it yet 😁
@@SDADanCars what is the fastest speed you get in this civic? is it struggling to get to the speed?
As far as I know the new Civic is factory limited to 180 km/h. Hope I was wrongly informed …
Then you buy it? I yes
Fuel consumption is pretty shit for highway driving. I can get 7.5L / 100 in my i30n sedan and that's hardly a hybrid.
Full hibrids purpose is to be efficient in city, not on highway. On highway you have more or less the same efficiency as a normal car.
So much boring motorway driving. Why no twisty roads?
Will come soon 👍
My optimized 2018,BMW 330i (300hp) xdrive average 7,2 in mixed highway and small roads and then I even include some inspired gashitting and turboengagement It is the most economic, comfy and still raceinspired car I ever owned. So I am not that much impressed to be honest, great vid though
Thanks for feedback 👍
@@queroever but he said „optimized” ;)
@@queroever yea thats true original, mine is reprogrammed and optimized though
Overpriced
you drive very bad, accelerating and the putting the break....
Yea the car 👍
consumption - /kənˈsʌm(p)ʃn/
👍
Before You buy this car check protection against rust under the car there is clear metal not protected by nothing. I was also interested by this car but when I see movie about no protection against rust now I just stopped thinking about this car :(
Really??🤔😶
@@claudiobernardi18 Yes just check under or find some movies about this
