Great review sir! comprehensive and very informative especially for an average consumer. nafefeature lng lagi ksi yung RS variant. You gave us the experience of owning the S variant. Specifically on what to expect driving one. Didn't realize it was 30 minute vid lol
Agree with your review 👍 sobrang sulit niya. Great handling and very responsive. Its unfortunate na mejo buggy pala android auto, sa apple carplay ok naman siya, di pko naka experience ng disconnection.
Very comprehensive review sir! Been looking po for a review ng S variant (since puro RS and V po kasi yung nakikita ko usually) kasi I'm interested in geting this car po. Sana po more S videos pa soon hehe.
Sir wag mo palitan ng led light kasi sayang, malakas talaga yang buga ng Hallogen pero sadyang madilim lang talaga ang medium dark na galing sa casa, e try mong takpan ang gauge ng civic mo pag gabi para dika masilaw nakakatulong ang pag takip ng gauge para makita mo ng maayos ang daan, kung madilim parin sayo subukan mo nalang pakitan ang tint sa windshield lang, yung sakin pinalitan ko ng 3M medium light at sobrang laki ng pagbabago maliwanag na talaga sya sa loob at madilim dn naman sa labas.
Thank you sa suggestion! Actually plano ko na muna papalitan yung tint bago mag-decide kung pati headlight bulbs papalitan ko rin. I'm planning to have it replaced with STEK Nex series tint a month from now siguro.
Fuel consumption is still as good as when I bought it, but of course with proper maintenance. The car is still great to drive and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Sulit pa rin!
Same sentiments on the low ground clearance. May light scratches na yung underside ng bumper namin, given na may matataas talagang ramp in the city area
Here are some figures based on my experience: Heavy traffic (Worst case scenario): 5.5-6.5 km/L Moderate traffic: 8-9km/L Slight traffic: 10km/L Average fuel consumption (Highway and City driving): Still at 12km/L Hope this helps
Thank you for the review sir. Did you have another vehicle na pinag isipan mo against sa civic before ka kumuha? Ako kasi si namimili between ford territory and eto.
Good question. My original choice was actually a Suzuki Jimny, but months have already passed and the color and variant that I wanted was still out of stock (and I was after the low interest rate promo of BPI at that time) so I suddenly went to a showroom to check the new Civic and placed a reservation immediately and re-applied my loan (though I made sure they still had the Platinum White Pearl for the S variant because that would be my only option) I didn't consider the Territory because I always wanted a fun sedan to drive and of course, it's a Civic 😉 (and also, I personally don't trust Ford's reliability)
Hi, really love the review! I have the same model and variant and may I ask how you turn off the speed alarm? Mine keeps going off when reaching 85kph. Would really appreciate your help. Thanks!
Thanks! I’m not familiar with the speed alarm though you can probably refer to the manual. I (sometimes) reach 120-130kph and I don’t get any alarms for it.
Good question. Yes, the aircon reaches the passengers at the backseat easily. The tint is also a factor though (I have medium tint currently installed) I always tend to ask backseat passengers if it’s cool on their side. They always seem to be contented with the temperature.
Hi! I got my OR/CR around 5-6 weeks after release. If you’re interested about the license plate, the dealership still hasn’t issued it until now and I’ve had the car for 6 months already.
Hi Sir, ask ko lang pano mo nalaman yung fuel consumption? Dito kasi sakin sa trip computer nakalagay 15.2L/ 100km Ito na ba yun or pano ko malalaman yung average na L/km? thanks!
Thanks! IMO, you really can't go wrong with those 2 choices. At first, I was also just planning to get a City RS but then the chance came to own a Civic so I went for it. I think here are some factors that you can consider: 1.) How comfortable are you when you're behind the wheel? Does this car speak to me? (Better if you get a chance to sit in both of your choices when you visit a showroom) 2.) How spacious do I want my cabin to be, including trunk space. 3.) Do I go for a tried and tested generation vs a new one? 4.) Will it matter to you to pay for the more premium 1.5L Turbo with Honda Sensing or are you just satisfied with the very reliable City that will always get you from point A to point B? I'd say go for the Civic, but it's still up to you. Headturner pa siya. Haha. Hope this helps.
Also my dilemma, but went for the civic and had no regrets. I test drove the city hatchback and I was sure then that Its the car for me, but when I saw the civic at the showroom and saw the interior it changed my mind. The interior is so elegant and spacious, even if the City has all the LEDs, leather seats and leather wrapped steering wheel the S variant still looks more refined. My advise is visit a dealer and sit behind the wheel of both cars and then decide.
Thanks! This is a really good question. For the Altis, medyo nakukulangan ako sa power and it does not really appeal to me. It’s a different story for the Mazda 3. I actually also considered it as one of my choices. The premium quality of both the exterior and the interior is definitely an eye-catcher, along with its great engine. But it also comes with a more expensive price tag, even for the base variant. As mentioned in the video, I used to have a 2007 Mazda 3. The mechanic that I used to regularly go to used to work at a Mazda dealership. Relatively, the parts are expensive when you need to have them replaced. I can also confirm this since I actively read posts on the Mazda 3 Philippines FB group. That was also the case with my old car, considering it’s a 2007 model. This is one of the things that I considered if I were to choose the Mazda 3. I could be wrong but I don’t think I’ve read or encountered any major issues with the Civics in general (apart from the EPS gearbox issue in the previous generation although it was covered by the warranty). And a Civic is a Civic. If I were to compare the base variants of both the 2022 Mazda 3 and 2022 Civic for the features (Honda Sensing was the gamechanger for me), engine and suspension setup along with the price tag (1.29m for the Civic and 1.5m for the Mazda 3 Sportback because I wanted the Sportback version lol), I think the clear winner is the 2022 Civic. This is just my perspective but I hope this helps answer your question.
Very nice review sir. Detailed enough! Question lang sir,... Do you think if i buy The RS version and i decided to put medium dark tint like yours, do you think i can see better because it is Led in the RS?
Thanks! To answer your question, you probably would be able to see better but not by much. I think it would be better if you invest in better tint (I’m planning to change my tint to STEK NEX series tint which will cost around 20k. The one installed in mine currently is Platinum from which came as a freebie from the dealership) If you’re gonna buy the V or RS variant and one of the crucial features for you are the LED headlights, I don’t think the price difference is justifiable (in my opinion), but to each his own.
Unfortunately, there aren’t any parking sensors for this variant. Tight spaces are a challenge sometimes so you just have to get used to its dimensions. It’s a lot more wider than the usual sedan
Sir, consider peeling off the windshield tint. Ako kasi Malagian ako sa tagaytay ng hating gabi. kahit malakas na ung LED light ko, there are many things na d mo tlga makita pag may tint ang windshield,kahit pa medium lang. yun nga lang, sa tanghaling tapat, asahan nyong mainit sa harapan.
I agree. Although I’ll probably just invest in the more expensive tint just so I could keep it dark outside while being clear from the inside (Planning to have the STEK NEX series tint which will cost around 20k). I work the night shift and while I do agree about the tint darkness, nasanay na lang rin ako during my drives going to the office.
Boss dont go with LED headlight bulbs. Honda are known to have weak headlights talaga. Mag pa RETROFIT ka nalang boss, 300% light increase. Yan din sentiment ko sa honda city ko,, nung nagpa retrofit ako iba tlga,, 300 din astigmatism ko at nearsightedness,, kudos sa review mo boss. Soon sana magka civic din ako. Napaka ganda ng review mo.
@@ralphbarcos nung ako, ang journey ko sa headlight upgrade, una nga nag LED bulbs ako ( Philips brand) galit mga kasalubong, glaring, maxado malakas output nakakasilaw even on low, (pero dko sure maging effect sayo kase naka projector ka) pero sabog ang ilaw, hindi maganda focus because reflector daw hindi naman designed for LED. So waste of money, pangalawa OSRAM nightbrker bulbs, ganda, improved naman sa stock, pero bitin padin. Baka malabo tlga mata ko. Having 300 sa nearsighted and 300 sa astigmatism. Pero wearing naman ako salamin so corrected yan while naka salamin (disclaimer hehe) Nung nagpa retrofit ako, iba tlga. Just sharing hehe God bless! Dko sure kung plug and play lang din ang retrofit sayo if it voids your 1 yr electrical warranty.
@@andronikkomanabat5390 I''ll definitely check the retrofit route out. Parehas lang tayo ng eye condition so this is very helpful. Although I think the S variant comes with projector headlights so baka pwede rin ang LEDs but then again, baka unahin ko na muna ang tint. I'm planning to have it replaced with the STEK Nex series. Thank you for the insights!
@Ralph Barcos, naka Civic S din ako.Medyo mahina nga ang buga ng halogen headlight natin.Nagpapalit ako ng LED.Keon Sondra yung pinalagay ko at ang laki talaga ng improvement sa liwanag compare sa stock na halogen light.Medium din ang Tint from Casa ang nasa windshield ko.
Well, there’s some tire noise that’s noticeable at higher speeds but I don’t usually mind it since I always have loud music on. 😅 the noise is there but it’s bearable
I used to have the same sentiments but the exterior really grew on me over the past few months. I’m starting to like most elements of the design over the previous gen.
uhm no. I like the exterior of the 11th gen more. More clean and expensive looking. It actually reminds me a lot of audi and bmw's design on their sedans
Yup. Fortunately nakakita din ako ng meteoroid gray metallic sa showroom. Maganda din naman! Mas prefer ko lang talaga itong platinum white pearl since limited lang sa base variant.
Syempre po, gagaan yan ang pagtatakbo, Lalo not fully loaded si sir!! Basta Liliit din ang tire size kasi lalakihan mo ng mag. Tapos Black like RS panalo.
Thanks! I'd say go for the 2022 Civic but that's just my opinion. Bukod sa mga nasabi ko na gusto ko sa kotseng to, mataas din yung "smiles per miles" 😅 definitely worth it for me.
@@ralphbarcos Actually yun din first choice ko. Kung iisipin in the long run panalo talaga kapag bnew unit. Deal breaker lang talaga for me yung tail lights di ko talaga mapusuan hahah! Anw, are you planning to modify your car in the future? White body color looks good in black rims!
@@ADJ161996 Ako din actually eh pero onti-onting nag-grow sa akin tapos nagustuhin ko na rin. Ang pinapansin ko na lang talaga ay yung Civic and VTEC Turbo na badge sa likod hahaha In the future, definitely yes! Pero after warranty na siguro. I'll get the stock RS mags if anyone puts them up for sale and coilovers once kailangan na palitan ang shocks. Aftermarket LED headlight bulbs na rin siguro and foglights since this variant doesn't have them
@@ralphbarcos That Vtec Turbo badge is really plus 10hp hahah! When I saw it sa casa napa kudos to Honda ko dun sa badge na yon. Interesting upgrades in the future! I saw one sa fb market place. 45k ata asking price. I will give myself some more time to think. Ang hirap din kasi makahanap ng 2nd hand na puting Civic rs (2019-2021). Good luck and ride safe bro 🙌
Unfortunately no. The longer I drove it, nasanay na rin ako sa buga ng current headlights kaya nawala na rin sa isip ko magtanong but probably on my next PMS this June, I’ll ask the agents.
As far as I know, walang setting para mabago yung sensitivity. I’ve read in a comment in this video na merong ganun for USDM Civics but none for the PHDM ones for some reason.
Great review sir, we are also considering this variant of the civic. You didn’t mention anything about its AC, how was it? Does it provide enough cooling to the rear seats, given the absence of rear vents? Thank you!
Good question! Yes, the AC is cold and enough for daily use. I’ve had passengers multiple times and I keep asking them if it is cool at the back (this was my way of justifying not picking the variants that have the rear vents. I was only doing this probably for the first 2-3 weeks of owning the car)
@@marvinjaymonteroso4910 My perspective is that if you've driven a car before that doesn't have any of those additional features and you're able to live with it, then go with the S variant. But if you really want additional toys, go with the V. I've been driving the car for 2 months already and the only thing that I wish I had that comes with the V and RS variants are the LED headlights but these can be done with aftermarket parts. Overall, the S variant fits all of my needs and I'm very happy with it. Good luck on your future purchase!
Another thing that disturbs me as much as you do is the ride height. Have you driven the car at capacity? Given how long its wheelbase is, I am worried of the rear sagging under weight.
@@marvinjaymonteroso4910 Yes I have. 4 people including me and the longest I've travelled with this many passengers was a trip to Tagaytay. There is some noticeable sag, which is normal, but not to the point wherein the ride height will be too compromised. The ride comfort is still great. Humps are also not a problem for the car (or atleast for the roads I've driven on with 3 or more passengers)
I was planning on having a test drive for a Mazda 3 but didn’t push through because I was already satisfied when I got the chance to check this new Civic.
Yes! Nakalimutan ko i-mention yan actually. Kahit dumaan ka lang sa may puno, bubukas na siya. Nawala lang sa isip ko sabihin pero yup, nae-experience ko din yan.
@@ralphbarcos sana may way para i off yung automatic hadlight or i adjust sensitivity. Yung US spec na civic may adjustment, pero satin wala. Musta pala NVH sa express way? Mejo may road noise kasi siya.
@@rlc2871 I agree. There's no absolute way to turn the lights off, which is kind of a bummer pero I think it's because some other countries have it as a safety feature para wala nang dahilan para makalimutan buksan pag gabi. For the NVH, it doesn't really matter much to me for this car. I always have loud music on so di ko na rin napapansin. 😅
Sabi nila, ang matic daw madaling masira ang transmission kung mag chachange ka bgla from “drive”, mas advisable daw na mag change gear kapag from park. Since nasa transmision ang sports mode nya (sa rs kasi may separate button to change to sports mode) di kaya mabilis masira ang transmission nya kung madalas kang mag change sa sports mode?
I don't think so. Pag nag-sports mode ka kasi, nagiiba lang yung mapping ng throttle, rpm, etc. I think it's also designed for the driver to shift between D and S whenever they like. You're not really changing gears, but how responsive the CVT will be. So gagana siya as you would with a sports mode button.
Can’t confirm is this can be done but my opinion is that I think it is possible. And also for sure, there’ll be a lot of aftermarket headlights for this generation of Civic in the near future.
Hindi pa ata ako umaabot ng ganyan kababa. Probably that’s purely city driving pero in my case, lowest na na-achieve ko na pure city is 9km/L pero kasi galing ako ng highway driving din tapos bababa lang sa ganyang consumption. Minsan di rin ganun ka-accurate yung trip meter kaya full tank method ang pag-calculate ko. Try running it on Econ mode pag nasa city lang or heavy traffic then just deactivate it pag nasa highway or nakaluwag na sa traffic.
@@ralphbarcos always econ na nga eh pero pure city driving sya. Tipong laging nasa 40kph lang takbo ayan nag register sakin 😔 tumaas lang sya ng lagpas 10k/l nung mabilis na takbo ko.
Thanks for this info! I was hesitant at first to list that down as I thought I was the only one experiencing it and I just have an old phone. It turns out issue pala talaga siya. Meron kayang magiging recall? 🤔
@@ralphbarcos I doubt there would be a recall, but I might ask my dealer soon if they are aware of the issue and if they have a known fix. Sabi sa google naayos daw ng ibang users by using the original cable that came with their phone or a high speed cable (i.e. 5gpbs transfer). I might try the high speed cable soon if maaayos niya. I tried using Apple CarPlay at wala naman naging issue even though its an OEM cable at ginalaw galaw ko young cable, hindi siya na di-disconnect, so it seems like it really is an Android issue.

The best reviews are users' reviews. Thank you!
Thank you for the feedback! ☺️
Been planning to sell my city and upgrade to civic S this year. Your review sir is the best I’ve watched.
Thank you for the kind words! Good luck with your future Civic!
Great review sir! comprehensive and very informative especially for an average consumer. nafefeature lng lagi ksi yung RS variant. You gave us the experience of owning the S variant. Specifically on what to expect driving one.

Thanks for the feedback!
Is the ground clearance adequate or laging sumasayad?
Also how many months and km yung interval of PMS?
@@phantomlancer0520 Yes, ground clearance is adequate.
PMS is every 6 months or every 5k km, whichever comes first
Sir wag mo palitan ng led light kasi sayang, malakas talaga yang buga ng Hallogen pero sadyang madilim lang talaga ang medium dark na galing sa casa, e try mong takpan ang gauge ng civic mo pag gabi para dika masilaw nakakatulong ang pag takip ng gauge para makita mo ng maayos ang daan, kung madilim parin sayo subukan mo nalang pakitan ang tint sa windshield lang, yung sakin pinalitan ko ng 3M medium light at sobrang laki ng pagbabago maliwanag na talaga sya sa loob at madilim dn naman sa labas.

Kailan kaya magkaka honda civic si? Yung manual transmission
How was the car after 2 years sir? Fuel consumption? Planning to buy here. Thank you for the answer
Fuel consumption is still as good as when I bought it, but of course with proper maintenance.
The car is still great to drive and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Sulit pa rin!
@@ralphbarcos thank you for the reply sir.
sobrang ganda sir sanaol
Same sentiments on the low ground clearance. May light scratches na yung underside ng bumper namin, given na may matataas talagang ramp in the city area
Likewise. Masakit sa una but it’s always gonna happen sooner or later.
sir baka pwede mag ka follow up vlog sa fuel consumption sa heavy traffic, medium traffic or slight traffic salamat!
Here are some figures based on my experience:
Heavy traffic (Worst case scenario): 5.5-6.5 km/L
Moderate traffic: 8-9km/L
Slight traffic: 10km/L
Average fuel consumption (Highway and City driving): Still at 12km/L
Hope this helps

Thank you Sir sa info ;-) planning to get a sport touring next week. Sir, kamusta po ang raod and wind noise?
Wind noise not a problem. The road noise is is loud around high speeds but I blast my music on every time so I don’t notice it that much
Would you pick the Civic S over the new HRV base model?
I’d pick the Civic S over the HRV S. Much faster, better interior and exterior design, and I’m more of a fan of sedans
@@ralphbarcos Thanks Ralph!
Hi Sir, ask ko lang pano mo nalaman yung fuel consumption?
Dito kasi sakin sa trip computer nakalagay 15.2L/ 100km
Ito na ba yun or pano ko malalaman yung average na L/km? thanks!
Full tank method. Reset to 0 yung trip meter every time magpapagas. Then pag magpapagas na uli, idi-divide lang sa kung ilang liter ang napa-gas
Congrats on the new car. Also considering this one S variant vs. honda city rs. What do you think?
Thanks! IMO, you really can't go wrong with those 2 choices. At first, I was also just planning to get a City RS but then the chance came to own a Civic so I went for it.

Go for the Civic with Honda Sensing
Contain naman ni Civic ang humps sa BGC? Since we all know na mataas ang mga humps sa BGC. Great review by the way!
Thanks! No problem with BGC humps for the car. Never pa naman ako sumayad. 😅
Kamusta po maintenance?
Hi sir this is a nice review. What made you choose the civic over the altis or the mazda 3? Thanks!

10th gen exterior design + 11th gen interior = perfection
I used to have the same sentiments but the exterior really grew on me over the past few months. I’m starting to like most elements of the design over the previous gen.
uhm no. I like the exterior of the 11th gen more. More clean and expensive looking. It actually reminds me a lot of audi and bmw's design on their sedans
Maganda rin po ba yung meteroid grey na color or mas head turner po itong pearl white in person sir?
Yup. Fortunately nakakita din ako ng meteoroid gray metallic sa showroom. Maganda din naman! Mas prefer ko lang talaga itong platinum white pearl since limited lang sa base variant.
Set up ng 18 inches wheel po, next video, din recall mo San Pedro to BGC. Mas titipid pa.
May effect ba sa fuel economy ung wheel size?
Syempre po, gagaan yan ang pagtatakbo, Lalo not fully loaded si sir!! Basta Liliit din ang tire size kasi lalakihan mo ng mag. Tapos Black like RS panalo.
pag palitan ng mags ma void ba ang warranty?
Awesome review sir. I'm torn between these 3 cars; Civic 2022 S, City RS, and 2nd hand 10th Gen Civic FC RS. Keep safe!
Thanks! I'd say go for the 2022 Civic but that's just my opinion. Bukod sa mga nasabi ko na gusto ko sa kotseng to, mataas din yung "smiles per miles" 😅 definitely worth it for me.
@@ralphbarcos Actually yun din first choice ko. Kung iisipin in the long run panalo talaga kapag bnew unit. Deal breaker lang talaga for me yung tail lights di ko talaga mapusuan hahah! Anw, are you planning to modify your car in the future? White body color looks good in black rims!
@@ADJ161996 Ako din actually eh pero onti-onting nag-grow sa akin tapos nagustuhin ko na rin. Ang pinapansin ko na lang talaga ay yung Civic and VTEC Turbo na badge sa likod hahaha
In the future, definitely yes! Pero after warranty na siguro. I'll get the stock RS mags if anyone puts them up for sale and coilovers once kailangan na palitan ang shocks.
Aftermarket LED headlight bulbs na rin siguro and foglights since this variant doesn't have them
@@ralphbarcos That Vtec Turbo badge is really plus 10hp hahah! When I saw it sa casa napa kudos to Honda ko dun sa badge na yon.
Interesting upgrades in the future! I saw one sa fb market place. 45k ata asking price.
I will give myself some more time to think. Ang hirap din kasi makahanap ng 2nd hand na puting Civic rs (2019-2021).
Good luck and ride safe bro 🙌
@@ADJ161996 Thanks and good luck with your car journey! 👍
Shoutout pre HAHAH subscriber herw
Nako mukhang bibili ka na rin pre ah. See you soon!
@@ralphbarcos HAHAHA oo nga pre tumitingin tingin muna sa ngayon habang nagiipon pang down
Ayos!
boss natanong mo na kung mavovoid warrant kung papalitan headlamps?
Unfortunately no. The longer I drove it, nasanay na rin ako sa buga ng current headlights kaya nawala na rin sa isip ko magtanong but probably on my next PMS this June, I’ll ask the agents.
Pwd ko po ba palitan tires ng 2021 honda city at palitan ng tires ng 2022 honda civic?
I don't know so I can't confirm with this one.
sa S variant po ba, may auto headlight sensitivity settings ba? di ko kasi mahanap yung settings
As far as I know, walang setting para mabago yung sensitivity. I’ve read in a comment in this video na merong ganun for USDM Civics but none for the PHDM ones for some reason.
@@ralphbarcos sa higher variants po meron
Great review sir, we are also considering this variant of the civic. You didn’t mention anything about its AC, how was it? Does it provide enough cooling to the rear seats, given the absence of rear vents? Thank you!
Good question! Yes, the AC is cold and enough for daily use. I’ve had passengers multiple times and I keep asking them if it is cool at the back (this was my way of justifying not picking the variants that have the rear vents. I was only doing this probably for the first 2-3 weeks of owning the car)
Thanks! I am contemplating if the ₱200,000+ premium of the V variant is justifiable enough to get a few toys over the S.
@@marvinjaymonteroso4910 My perspective is that if you've driven a car before that doesn't have any of those additional features and you're able to live with it, then go with the S variant. But if you really want additional toys, go with the V.
I've been driving the car for 2 months already and the only thing that I wish I had that comes with the V and RS variants are the LED headlights but these can be done with aftermarket parts. Overall, the S variant fits all of my needs and I'm very happy with it. Good luck on your future purchase!
Another thing that disturbs me as much as you do is the ride height. Have you driven the car at capacity? Given how long its wheelbase is, I am worried of the rear sagging under weight.
@@marvinjaymonteroso4910 Yes I have. 4 people including me and the longest I've travelled with this many passengers was a trip to Tagaytay. There is some noticeable sag, which is normal, but not to the point wherein the ride height will be too compromised. The ride comfort is still great. Humps are also not a problem for the car (or atleast for the roads I've driven on with 3 or more passengers)
nag test drive ka sir mazda 3 before mo kinuha civic?
I was planning on having a test drive for a Mazda 3 but didn’t push through because I was already satisfied when I got the chance to check this new Civic.
Kumusta po ang oil consumption? May na-observe po ba kayo na potential oil dilution issue? Would be very interesting to know.
@AJ RV how is the oil consumption po? Manageable naman?
Na notice mo ba na masyadong sensitive yung automatic headlights niya? Nag on agad siya kahit maliwanag pa. Also an owner here
Yes! Nakalimutan ko i-mention yan actually. Kahit dumaan ka lang sa may puno, bubukas na siya. Nawala lang sa isip ko sabihin pero yup, nae-experience ko din yan.
@@ralphbarcos sana may way para i off yung automatic hadlight or i adjust sensitivity. Yung US spec na civic may adjustment, pero satin wala. Musta pala NVH sa express way? Mejo may road noise kasi siya.
@@rlc2871 I agree. There's no absolute way to turn the lights off, which is kind of a bummer pero I think it's because some other countries have it as a safety feature para wala nang dahilan para makalimutan buksan pag gabi.
For the NVH, it doesn't really matter much to me for this car. I always have loud music on so di ko na rin napapansin. 😅
Yes, sensitive ng auto headlights. Just a normal cloudy sky will turn on those headlights
@@ralphbarcos Pag naka off ba sa stalk nag auto-on pa rin headlights?
the powerfolding side mirrors should be standard in any variant of civic. a 900+k budget crossover has a powerfolding side mirrors. wake up honda pls.
I agree with this statement. 👍
feel ko lang masyadong sensitive you auto lights niya kahit morning may ilaw mabilis maubos batter
I agree. Nakalimutan kong banggitin sa video kasi di ko madalas iniisip pero kapansin-pansin nga. Wala lang paraan para i-adjust yung sensitivity eh.
Sabi nila, ang matic daw madaling masira ang transmission kung mag chachange ka bgla from “drive”, mas advisable daw na mag change gear kapag from park. Since nasa transmision ang sports mode nya (sa rs kasi may separate button to change to sports mode) di kaya mabilis masira ang transmission nya kung madalas kang mag change sa sports mode?
I don't think so. Pag nag-sports mode ka kasi, nagiiba lang yung mapping ng throttle, rpm, etc. I think it's also designed for the driver to shift between D and S whenever they like. You're not really changing gears, but how responsive the CVT will be. So gagana siya as you would with a sports mode button.
Honda hayat onda bizim ülkemizde en çok tutulan araç👍💯💯💯👑🇹🇷
Pwede po ba palitan ng headlight assembly yung s model ng kagaya nung sa RS trim?
Can’t confirm is this can be done but my opinion is that I think it is possible. And also for sure, there’ll be a lot of aftermarket headlights for this generation of Civic in the near future.
Sir nakapag lagay kanaba foglights?
Not yet. I might finish the warranty first before I do install any electrical aftermarket stuff.
Safe kaya palitan yung tires from 16inch to 18inch?
If you mean the wheels, then yes, it is safe. The RS variant has 18s on them after all.
@@ralphbarcos Ayos, btw does the s trim have the low speed follow?
@@valdomerotimoteo4335 yes it does, while in cruise control. I think all Honda sensing features are the same across all variants
@@ralphbarcos Then this variant is perfect, has the core features that one needs with lots of room for upgrades hehehe. Thanks for answering.
Pang trailer lang ung siete boss.ung may bale
Tuwing kelan palit ng CVTF and magkano?
As per the owner’s manual, every 2 years or every 40000kms. Whichever comes first. As for how much, I don’t have any idea yet.
good afternoon ask ko lng po if yung S mode may +- tnx
Hi! The Civic S doesn't have manual mode but the RS does have paddle shifters
Bat ganun sakin haha sa trip meter nya city driving 40kph na takbo naabot ng 5.5km/L average consumption ko. Same ba tayo sir?
Hindi pa ata ako umaabot ng ganyan kababa. Probably that’s purely city driving pero in my case, lowest na na-achieve ko na pure city is 9km/L pero kasi galing ako ng highway driving din tapos bababa lang sa ganyang consumption. Minsan di rin ganun ka-accurate yung trip meter kaya full tank method ang pag-calculate ko. Try running it on Econ mode pag nasa city lang or heavy traffic then just deactivate it pag nasa highway or nakaluwag na sa traffic.
@@ralphbarcos always econ na nga eh pero pure city driving sya. Tipong laging nasa 40kph lang takbo ayan nag register sakin 😔 tumaas lang sya ng lagpas 10k/l nung mabilis na takbo ko.
Or 91 octane gamit mo na gasoline?
Sakin 9.4km/L, daily route is commonwealth, quirino highway. On normal mode, 95 octane. Mag 2 months na sakin.
@@jerwinbartolome2526 91 Octane. I only use Shell Fuelsave.
May i ask sir hm dp and monthly ng s variant. Thanks po
I paid 262k for the DP (20%). Monthly amortization is around 22k.
Sir anong bank po ninyo? Parang mababa interest rates ahh hehe
@@bemvlogstolosa231 nag taas po price ng civic 2022 nsa 1.2m lang nung unang release
@@bemvlogstolosa231 BPI. They had a low-interest rate promo last Dec 2021, hence the relatively low monthly amortization
Front reminds me of the old galant
Yup! Definitely looks like the front of the Galant "Shark"!
Issue daw yan sa Android Auto, yung madali ma-disconnect yung phone. I have the same issue with my Civic 2022 V Variant.
Thanks for this info! I was hesitant at first to list that down as I thought I was the only one experiencing it and I just have an old phone. It turns out issue pala talaga siya. Meron kayang magiging recall? 🤔
@@ralphbarcos I doubt there would be a recall, but I might ask my dealer soon if they are aware of the issue and if they have a known fix.
Sabi sa google naayos daw ng ibang users by using the original cable that came with their phone or a high speed cable (i.e. 5gpbs transfer). I might try the high speed cable soon if maaayos niya.
I tried using Apple CarPlay at wala naman naging issue even though its an OEM cable at ginalaw galaw ko young cable, hindi siya na di-disconnect, so it seems like it really is an Android issue.
@@ralphbarcos update lang sir. bought fast charging anker (USB 3.0) cable yesterday at hindi na siya na di-disconnect :)
ui ralph!
Ui sir! Nice to see you here! 😀
haha yeah we have exactly the same car haha sheesh
Nice. I see you have great taste in cars as well. Hahahaha. 😅
naka 2 minutes pa lang ako sa video, nahihilo nako.
Kuya ang pogi mo pala.
L15B7
I don't like the rear design of the car
Well, to each his own, I guess.
You got your car in an automatic transmission? Pare, what is wrong with you???? Stick shift is the better choice, and you're Pinoy! What the heck!
Unfortunately, there's no manual variant of the new civic here in the PH local market.
