2016 Honda Civic Touring - One Take
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 бер 2016
- For $27,000 as tested, this new Civic is just a really good car. It has lots of room, it has lots of features, and it has a newly found level of refinement at a totally reasonable price. It's built well and comfortable, and has lots of neat storage solutions. With a few key modifications, it could be a handling champion. But for the non-car enthusiast in your life, this is a car you can get behind.

Not entirely sure where the negativity is coming from in the comments. He isn't wrong. It is a good regular car for regular people who aren't car enthusiasts. Honda has stepped up their game and he is giving them credit for it...
+Rene “Kris” Hourian True. Hence why they have the 300+whp Type R version for car enthusiasts.
+Rene “Kris” Hourian The coupe will be manual btw
"Here we go... YES, well ya know, not really..." Haha that sums it up perfectly!
Don't understand why all the hate on Matt and Civic!? Seemed like a good neutral review of a very practical car. People needs to chill.
+ARMYTRIX NO
Yes
How many times did that bottle go in and out of that cupholder?!
Giggity.
+Rob Booth Automotive haha getting nifty with the product placements
+Nik Brudar Trying to get any grip in that afterwards is the huge fail...
A Fiji water advert....
+BTroxTV LOLOLOL! Quagmire, its Quagmire! Giggity Giggity Goo!!!
The most talkative TST One-Take guest award goes to...
Stock 2016 Civic Ecomony tires!
Hey, all yall arrogant "enthusiasts" in the comment section: this is a car for normal people, deal with it. And kudos to Matt for delivering a review that relates to real world, thank you Matt.
"I'm not touching the pedals!" *raises hands*
lmfaooo!!!!
oh shit im DYIN
Bwhahaha I noticed that too. Automatic hands up! 🖐🏽
$27k for a fully loaded sedan that gets 40mpg and will last 15+ years sounds good to me.
that cvt its not lasting 15 years, you can believe that!
+LUIS NAJERA Come back in 15 years and we'll see.
+LUIS NAJERA I think it will. My last gen civic without the facelift has been with me 11 years. Engine running smooth. All still pretty and good. I put my trust in honda. I think it'll do well
+Ur Bud Spud i think the car its going to do good in 15 years. that cvt its not. but what would i know im just a mechanic.
+LUIS NAJERA Oh yeah you're a mechanic, where, Jiffy lube?
This is probably the first Civic I would personally buy, and this is coming from someone who is anything but a fan of Honda. The car is just nice (even my mother did the "that's a civic?" routine), but the peppy 175hp turbo motor is the cherry on top.
Ah a new One Take a great way to start the morning.
agreed love them in the morn
Holy crap, The amount of salt in this comments section is crazy!
Guys, Matt reviews cars. This is a car review. How does him reviewing a modern car and actually liking it somehow translate to him being a paid-off sellout?
Look, The new Civics are genuinely good cars. My father just bought one. and No, it might not be a fun as my friends miata, or as enjoyable to work on as my project Subaru. But it really is one of the nicest modern cars I've been in and driven. This is Matt just sharing the truth about this car, Not being bought out like some cheap shill.
Matt you forgot to mention that this new civic is faster than the previous generation civic si. Hondata did a stock for stock test and the 10th gen base civic beat out the 9th gen si.
I am an "enthusiast" who just bought one of these new Civics, and it is fantastic. Handles great, tons of torque with the turbo, extremely refined, super solid chassis, and it looks like 60,000 bucks.
I discovered this channel because I was researching the VW Golf R as my next purchase. I've been glued to the channel ever since - it's nice to see a mix of modded and stock cars. Keep up the good work.
This test drive was by far the best I've seen on the new civic! Props
I find it hysterical that Honda finally makes a good product after years of stagnation and no one believes them. I hope this new Civic is a sign of good things yet to come.
Thank you for performing an honest car review. I'm a huge fan of this car and I get irritated when people can't see everything it has going for it. I'm impressed you're willing to review something that isn't stick and is in fact a cvt lol.
love that you keep doing reviews like this
I wish I lived in an area with beautiful roads like this! Always love your reviews.
2:40 "Yes! Well, you know, not really" Lol
Awesome review, thanks. For a very long time I've been a "car guy", thinking and researching sports cars (not yet driving them) but lately I've been thinking a lot about usable, comfortable, economic, affordable cars for just driving around, commuting and long range driving and this thing looks very impressive. Awesome
@ 4:11 man that view is amazing. The mountain in the background really gives it a good touch.
Matt, you are driving like a mad man that is totally relaxed!
Awesome I see my civic sedan at the beginning! Can't wait to see the one take of it soon thanks.
Great review, I think you're actually the first to review this car just recently starting to see them on the streets
Great to watch while eating lunch.
R u in Europe
This Civic will win a lot of awards! just watch
An automatic transmission civic... Wow, tickle me excited.
I wouldn't mind seeing more one-takes with new(er) production cars, obviously as close to enthusiast as possible. I know R&T and C&D do this all day long, but I personally like your style and delivery, nice work!
"YES!!!... Well, not really"
Lol :D
I'm glad you reviewed this I am contemplating buying one as my daily. I wasn't a fan of the past couple generations but this one seems to fit my needs, though I will be waiting for the hatch.
So many people mad because Matt reviewed the new Civic, But I like the one takes because I can see many different cars compared quickly. I am glad we got a one take for the Civic.
I test drove a turbo civic when they first hit the street. I was very impressed with the car and the power! It would surprise a lot of people...
What a gorgeous road. Just a beautiful scenery
Thanks for actually delivering this review as it should have been, instead of trying to constantly compare and sound disappointed when it's not a "sports car".
Are you going to review the Civic Si when it comes out? Please tell me you will! You should also review the Type R when it comes out to see if it's everything we've ever wanted.
He's talking about TFL ha!
Seems like a genuinely decent car, and people forget press reviews are supposed to deliver feature info - it's always been understood between OEMs and journalists. Matt wasn't piling it on. I still like learning about new regular cars and this is way better than the tripe in MT/C&D nowadays.
Great video Matt! Enjoy seeing less exotic machines being driven hard down a canyon too 👍
thx for turning the car on for us man i asked u to turn the car on for the interior look around and u accually listened
Cant wait to see the Si version of this. I think it'll be pretty competetive
No more Si, mate. They're bringing in the civic Type R to the states.
+TrinityAmplify there's still going to be an Si for people who dont want to spend nearly $40k. It was delayed to 2017 however
+dragantoe correct, type R will be an extremely limited production run so expect high dealer markup and all mostly made to order, while the Si will be mainstream, stocked plentiful on the lots like how they have been all these years.
+dragantoe $40k?! My god..
Great video ! It's nice to see it doesn't have to be a stoopid fast car every time.
I like the regular cars in these. It's a nice change. Of course the modified cars are quiet entertaining, I really wanna see more FRS or BRZs haha
Just bought mine, couldn't be happier
Picked up an EX-T a couple weeks back and I'm an enthusiast. It's fantastic. Period. And he forgot to mention the lane keep assist. You can let this thing effectively drive itself above 45 mph and it works very well!
great video Matt
I live in LA. First time i saw it on the road, i thought WFT is that? I want it for the wifey - now confirmed. thank you sir.
I got a big bottle of FiJI "shows engine" LMFAO.
Great video Matt, don't listen to people bitching. Just bought my wife one of these, you're right it is a fantastic car!
Nice review thanks!
I like the idea of an occasional sub-$35k car for a practical car review.
we need open roads like these in newyork....
+ThatGuy Shane Some of the most adrenaline inducing roads I've ever driven were in the Finger Lakes region. If you go, don't just hoon them willy-nilly though. Lots of off-camber turns right after crests, so lots of people bite it out there. Get to know them and they will continue to try to tear your head off, but you'll be smiling the whole time.
+ThatGuy Shane I recommend Bear Mountain area, as well as the roads off I-84 in between the Taconic and 684
+ThatGuy Shane if you go upstate, you're bound to come across mountain roads
+TheSmokingTire i know you are from CT name me some good roads around here
+ThatGuy Shane and we have them poughkeepsie albany
damn honda stepping up their design game... not a fan so much of the back, but the front looks so agressive
Car looks amazing.
I like it and the make over is perfect...................
Thanks for the video. I appreciate it because once I analyze your review compared to the all the other reviews out there in existence in youtube...I can now see that your apparently modest review is actually an extremely great compliment to the Civic. Think about it guys, he's one of those hardcore car guys who like to get down and dirty with their manual transmission, revs and handling....and yet did he ever once actually talk trash or mention how disappointed he was with this car?
Not even once. The guy literally gave this affordable, stylish, luxury and economy based car a "meh, not bad" rating for sportiness? Holy shit, what else could this fucking car need? No wonder this car is the best car of the year NA. It's not only the best of all worlds, it's THE best IN all of those worlds! (minus the pure sportiness ofcourse, which is why it's amazing that it's still good enough to not get a thumbs down by this hot blooded car guy) Ooooh man I want this car.
Oh no, it's begun. Advertisements masked as videos on one of my favorite channels
+Jim Wheaton How else would you like them to fund the channel and continue making videos? I personally hate merchandise and anything branded.
I don't get it? What advertisement masked as a video?
+TheSmokingTire People think Honda paid you to show this. Announce it in the video next time. Car enthusiasts can be dumb sometimes.
+Chris Sorreda EVERYONE can be dumb sometimes.
+TheSmokingTire
A reference to a Southpark episode "Sponsored Content" in which ad companies circumvent ad blocking by masking the advertisement as 'normal content'.
A good write up on the episode:

Great video Matt, I hope you guys get to talk about this on an episode of the +TheSmokingTire podcast^^ Seems like some of the guys and whoever is the guest will have some interesting opinions about this car.
Passing on a double yellow. The kind of guy who never has an accident but causes hundreds
Good and Honest review - Thanks (just found you and sub)
can't wait til you finally get that focus rs in your hands to review Matt :D
Going from an 06 Civic, to an 07 MK5 VW Golf .. surprised how much storage space I gave up lol. The center console, it feels like I went from Santa's sack to the pockets on Lil Wayne's skinny jeans. But for real, Civics have some lovely storage space.
Gotta love that 5 dollar Fiji water
Civics are known for their easy customisability, at least the pre 2010 versions. So they are(kinda) enthusiast-grade vehicles.
Nice review. nice to see this car at its limits. This car clearly will not probably ever be pushed that way by a potential owner. The SI/Type R are another story.
I just got an EX T as a DD. Its a smooth and refined ride. Sport mode is always there when I want to open her up. Can't wait for the aftermarket support to find tricks on getting more out of it. While the base Accord 4cyl is attractive for about the same money, the handling and 1.5 turbo really shine on the Civic.
This is definitely an awesome car. Get to drive them all the time working at the dealership.... I'd love to see you get ahold of a manual accord, they're even better!
I must admit...I love the Civic. I have a 2015 for my kick around, but the 2016 looks amazing! VloggingAdventureswithRob
Nice. Very comprehensive review, better than autocar
Hi Matt, if the opportunity ever presents itself it would be interesting to get your thoughts on a 2016 CVT Accord Sport since it has similar power and the two cars are so close in size these days.
Seems like a nice car
This is the only other automatic transmission compact I would consider to replace my daily-driver 2014 Mazda 3. I'm still leaning toward Fiesta ST though as I don't hit traffic too often and miss having three pedals.
Matt, any insight into steering feel on the Civic vs. the Mazda, or other comparable attributes?
Thanks!
Good review, Matt. Kinda nice to see regular cars on this channel. Anyone knows why the Japanese still insist on CVTs?
If you ever come to the Palm Springs area check out highway 74 it's a nice road up the mountain side
I can see this as a practical daily to fight traffic and get to work.
Matt, I love your videos and you're a cool guy. Having said that, WTF dude?
This looks like a great commuter car
Next time you are in NY matt you should test out my '88 944. Would be a joy to meet you and something never seen on TST
Can you do a one take of your Aston once the manual conversion is done?
Hey Farah any shot you can test Dinan's new big turbo 328? It doesn't meet emissions out there so the odds are probably slim.....
cant wait for the si & type r version
Maybe next year
+EK9GraphicDesign I was shocked to see the Type R beating the 2008 GTR, Ford GT,LP560, 997 991,991 911, etc
but that type r wont come to the US, another version will
it kinda sucks this video came out the day i bought a 2016 EX-T, but this video reassured me of my sound decision on the car. Great car, loaded with options and features, mid range power is solid along with steering feedback
I bet you really want to drive the new type R aye Matt :D
That's the last time that Civic will see Sport Mode
I for one would actually like to see you do more reviews on newer affordable cars.
I love this new Civic.
I wonder if it fits a fiji bottle in the cup holder?
Superb road this one!
I would deeply appreciate and love for you Matt & yout friends to do a small build on my 1999 mustang gt i just got 2 months ago can't see to have it running right, constantly running into.problems this my only car so transportation is limited for me right now, would love that for my birthday coming up in June
1:00 to 1:08, That's a pretty heavy bottle for you to try to raise 3 times, you need the 2 hands , perhaps a winch
Grey leather very rarely ever looks good, and it's no different here. It gives it a much cheaper look. Black would look much better IMO.
agreed
I know it's branded an Acura vehicle, but the RDX turbo to my knowledge is actually the first turbocharged Honda on the market to hit US shores. Someone should correct me if I'm wrong.
The one time Matt didn't want to pass the car ahead they move over lol
I LOVE the new civic. It's just so hard to look away lol. Man, if I knew ahead of time that the 10 gen was gonna be this good, I wouldn't have jumped the gun on my FR-S lol. But I still love her though :)
Honda already announced they will offer the manual in the coupe, sedan, and hatch. Cant wait to see the production hatch. Hopefully it looks like the concept
trying to choose this or a jetta GLI going to go test drive this on the weekend
Matt how would this compare to the Mazda 3 in terms of driving dynamics? I presume the Corolla nor Nissan Sentra would really stack up in this category.
Honda is coming out with the 1.5L turbo with a stick shift on 2017 models.
I don't think they will make SI versions but they might have the type R in the US though.
"You can hear the tires screeching a little bit, but they're not losing grip, They're just telling me like what might happen if you keep pushing it."
"The kind of speeds I can carry"... massive understeer 1 moment later! lol :)
Test drive the new accord sport, i wanna see what u think.
Seeing it handle those corners at that speed was great. I mean it’s a civic what more can u ask
