If the prototype Type R that just was shown sticks it looks clean but it's way less aggressive. Looks like the all the vents are gone, slimmer body and less aggressive and lower wing. I own a Type R and I love the aggressive style of the 10th Gen R. My 70 year old father isn't in the market for one. They're for driving enthusiasts and the aggressive body style is what makes it unique IMO
@@thinkforyourself5672 it's still camouflaged though but honda did go for a cleaner car though for this generation. Hopefully after the camouflage is gone we can see some functional vents.

@@RaitisRides we appreciate it more that you still keep in touch with us even though you already have hundred thousands of subs and comments just like you did when you only have 20k subs
As a honda manufacturing employee I loved the video, I am new to driving manuals but I've driven at least 50 of the manual civic hatchbacks since I started working a month and a half ago
This has to be one of the least zonked cars you’ve reviewed lately. Hopefully the full review doesn’t add many. Thanks Joe and Lori. Well done!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

This will make a great base for the Integra. Also, its impressive enough that it could be a tough choice depending on what the Integra ends up being. Looking forward to the driving review.
I'm looking forward to part 2. This was thought provoking, entertaining and informative, just like all your reviews. I think this Civic will be Hondas biggest selling hatchback in many years, and will appeal to many of the people who were turned off by the Transformer looking eyesore that preceded it. I just wish they offered the manual on the base model!
I like how they're keeping manuals around. We should encourage more people learn so they stick around too. It's just the supirior way. Being able to choose which gear you want to be in and when. You can granny gear it for good mpg and man, I'm all about granny gearing it for some reason
@@TheAnnoyingBoss I’m not as convinced my dude. I have a newer 5.0 with the six speed and although it’s a freakin thrill when you wanna drive fast, I’m usually driving to and forth work. Daily driving a manual in the city is more of a hassle I can’t agree it’s the superior way.
JJ - love the new exterior lines, scoops, curves, light treatments. cvt = ugh, but at least they're keeping the stick alive. I dig the color - even the interior is pretty sweet. great post, tony
Yah CVT can be annoying. It's great when you don't push it, but when you floor it, it sounds teeerrriiible. Would rather have a regular auto, even if it's a 10% drop in fuel efficiency.
In the last generation I thought the sedan was much better looking than the hatch, this generation I think the opposite. The hatch adds some fun to what is a more boring look otherwise.
My thoughts exactly. The 10th Gen sport and touring sedan looked great, but the SI sedan and hatchback looked ridiculous with the huge vents in the rear bumper and front bumpers as well. I agree the 11th gen hatchback looks better than the sedan, but still not “great” looking at all.
Love the manual transmission. H.A.T.E. the electronic emergency brake. If the battery dies or the engine won't start, no longer can you release the brake, put into neutral and "roll" it to start by popping the clutch. Basically, now you're screwed.
@@Stigz34 that's the key... luckily for me I considered a 2020 honda civic lx for finance back in September 2020, but the monthly fee calculated over a period of 5 years was gonna come to $33k Canadian and all I did I just said I will think about it and left the dealer and went to Toyota dealer and then got myself 2020 corolla LE for $22k out of the door for the same period of time lol. Honda priced themselves out of me there, thats the moral of the story.
Great job as always. Just took home a 23 Sport Touring Hatch but with the CVT. I love it. Not going to win any races but I'm fine with that. It is peppy in the mid range though. Sport setting makes things much more responsive. Bose system is pretty amazing.
Coming from a gen x sp touring owner, 6sp, it's a great combo. If new owners don't buy the 6sp, as an option, it will b gone in a couple of years. This will b ur last chance. For those who want to know, I can take myself and 2 ppl with a mountain bike inside without issues. Keep buying sticks. Congrats for a great review and Honda.
Finally saw the new Civic in person while driving. It is a very good looking car, and it looks better than the Accord in my opinion. It has a great presence on the road.
The new design language really works well for the Civic Hatch! I really like what they did with the tail lights as opposed to the sedan, night and day difference. Can't wait to see how it drives with the stick, thanks Joe!
If you go hatchback I don't see how any one goes with anything other than the Sport Touring, you get the highest HP and you can still get it as a manual. I am hoping the Si blows me away. I recently saw the honda civic out and about and it looked beautiful.
Much MUCH better styling that the previous generation. Love the way the hood opens for service. Zonk on the iPad on dash. Everything else a step in the right direction!
Like what they’ve done with the new civic. Looks so much cleaner/better than the previous generation IMO. Also, kudos to Honda for giving the consumer the option of a manual transmission I had a 98 EX coupe with the manual. It wasn’t fast by any stretch, but it was definitely a fun little car. Thumbs up Honda 👍
Honda for life for my family. Myself and kids have always owned Hondas. My Inherited Saturn Vue v6 has a Honda 3.5 liter engine runs wonderful. (RIP love you Dad) been waiting for this review, thanks RR
I drive a 2014 civic, I love it, I love almost everything about this. I just wish they could find a way to add a little more horsepower and bump it to 200 at least
The front grill Honda badge is the exact correct scale and proportion. Not some gigantic 'look at me' badge. No engine cover? Zonk. Makes the compartment look unfinished. The Normal/Service settings on the prop rod? Thumbs up. Honda will sell every vehicle they make, if they can make enough...
Torque: 240Nm Top speed: 201kmh Fuel consumptions: 8.47l/100km in city, 6.41l/100km on highway (manual); 7.87l/100km in city; 6.41l/100km on highway (CVT) Weight: 1345kg Boot capacity: 693l with seats up (hatch) compared to 419l
Great review as always! I honestly think this car is perfect. Honda is back to being the undisputed class leader of compact cars. As a previous owner of a 10th gen. Civic Si, I can assure you that these cars drive better than many costing twice as much. If you haven’t test driven one, do so and prepare to be impressed. I will probably turn in my 2020 Mercedes CLA35 at lease end and purchase another Civic Si. They are that good.
Nice review. The design stands out but I wish they put in a 2.0T instead when looking at the $29K price point of the Sport Touring. Could get a brand new GTI for that
People complained a ton when the 10th generation came out and said it was over styled, Honda listened and toned it down and now people are unhappy that it looks too "plain". You can never please people.
People do not know what they want and also thats why the brands are rising in costs. People have lost the ability to know what's important to look for when buying a vehicle.
Wow this is my new dream car. Love the interior so much! Was never a hatchback fan but that huge boot space and long front sells it for me. Would love it in black all blacked out maybe with a beefier exaust
Nice to see they're still using a manual trans in an era where companies are starting to ditch it in favor of CVT 😩. Although I wished the Accord went with a manual and a coupe.
My 2005 ex accord, manual needs to retire. It was a dream to drive . How would the two compare in terms of fun to drive, reliability and smooth ride. I understand “sports” model to have a rougher ride. Does that remain true ? I welcome replies from those that luv driving a stick .
Thank you for pointing out the service position of the prop rod. Also I noticed immediately there was no engine cover but you're the first I heard mention it!
@Matt Rodenbeck back in 2019 I was searching for a new car. Between the Civic hatchback (one generation before this one) and the Corolla Hatchback, the trunk space is not even comparable. It felt at most I could fit in the Corolla was a backpack, a lot more space with the hatch, especially with the seats down. GL on your search
Looks great and don't zonk that chrome trim above the window... it looks sharp and accents well with the wheels! Interior looks retro but modern... very cool!
I really really liked the Civic with this Sonic Grey Color. I really do. My Son ended up buying the Honda Accord 1.5 Turbo Sport though with the Sonic grey and it looks sick. Civic has def come to age and its starting to grow up with all the Luxury to boot. For the Price and what you get its still a to get into car. If you never owned a Honda this is the way to start into Hondas you wont go back.
@@RaitisRides But if they have the sportback, they should also have a wagon for the customers who want a more practical Civic, the hatch right now is only slightly more practical than the sedan. Take the Subaru Impreza Sedan and Wagon for example.
Nice car but 30k for a civic is crazy. Car companies are also charging a premium by adding on extra features to get a manual. I miss the days of truly base model economy cars.
I still can't unsee the Honda crosstour when I look at this car. It still looks way better than the previous civic hatchback, but I still put the Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla hb way over it in exterior looks.
Definitely love the new styling it looks like a winner so far just waiting to hear your comments on this performance to make the final judgment and yes we do love Lori she's fantastic 👍👍

Is the ride as comfortable as a Corolla?
It's TURBO CHARGED?🤔
Can’t wait for the Type R, if Honda make it it I hope they do 🤞
Oh it is coming for sure.
It's been seen many times on the road in Europe, its ready for track testing in Germany 👍
They will make it. Are you going to buy it?

I still can't unsee the Honda crosstour when I look at this car. It still looks way better than the previous civic hatchback, but I still put the Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla hb way over it in exterior looks.
I Love It! Especially the interior.
I am so glad that you are digging this new Civic!
It has good leg room in the back, I like that
This is the one. Honda has really nailed it here
Definitely love the new styling it looks like a winner so far just waiting to hear your comments on this performance to make the final judgment and yes we do love Lori she's fantastic 👍👍
The electronic e brake is the worst thing to happen to sports cars.
Wow Joe, this is the best Honda Civic Hatchback review so far! Keep it up! Looking forward other civic variations.
This is gonna be a good one.... So much better looking then last Gen
Car looks great from the front and the rear for me. Some reason the side profile looks really off? Hunchback like rather than hatchback lol.
To me it looks like the accord. And the accord is ugly. Just to odd looking.
You are freaking hilarious ! It is like a sportback.
@@semiauto3148 maybe wait until you see it in person.
@@RaitisRides yeah. You right…just my initial thoughts.
Thanks!
Can't wait for the Type R and SI
Trust me neither can I!
Thanks for pointing out that there is something wrong with me - I knew it was 1972. Raiti's Rides, manual transmission - I'm in 110%. Great job on the review! Awesome to know I've got a great choice post my Mazda6.
Nice to see a Civic in Area 51 appropriate paint for the 10th Fast and Furious, when they go into space in their cars.
You got that right! LOL
God I wish the Accord brought back the manual. I have a 2015 6 speed that I love and refuse to give up, unless Accord brings the stick back.
