To be honest, the Mazda 3 was more fun to drive than the Civic but the Civic's infotainment system and "Honda Quality and Reliability" got me to purchase the Civic
$19,050 including taxes and registration (no Honda Sensing). Accord EX was $27k so I just went with the Civic. I'd go with Civic unless it's going to be a family car
LOL, the Honda tail lights? they look like Charlie Brown's eyes when he is frustrated. Just a couple of big red brackets. Honda's not alone though, a few others do the same thing now. uggo supremo
Yea, the rear end looks weird. I like the front and side profile though, was thinking of selling my 8th gen and getting this, but having that ugly ass end kills it for me.
sporadicidiocy Your 8th gen is a better car overall. Far too many engineering issues make this model something to avoid, This isn't the Honda everyone came to know and rely on so many years ago,
Zapperzz99 If Fugly is your preference, I guess it does. I think people (mainly a much younger generation) are so used to seeing cars with no lines and ugly bulgy bodies that this actually has appeal, or people are just blind brand lovers (which is also all so common these days, ie: Apple? REALLY?). Compare this to what cars USED to look like or what higher end cars today look like, and it's boring, dull, run of the mill blech. Face it, it's just another bloody Civic that doesn't even stand up against their cars built 20+ years ago. ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Never thought I would want to own a Civic. However this is a genuinely good car. Honda has done a great job on this 10th iteration of one the 'used-to-be' most boring car in the market.
+Trades46 ever seen a Kia, Hyundai or early Ford or Chevy? Not really a boring car. Sure it's boring with a A/T and SOHC non vtec engine. They're enjoyable, reliable, and great handing car for the price tag. Boring? Nope.
darkwonder80 The Civic from the 80s~early 2000s were always enthusiast choices with advanced suspensions, great chassis and rev-happy engines. The 8th gen. (2006~11) went more bland & the Euro version even had a twist-beam rear axle that degraded handling even the Type R couldn't solve. The 9th gen (11~15) was even worse; it took everything fancy of the 8th gen. and made it even more bland. It could be mistaken for any boring sedan at a distance. Kia/Hyundai & Ford/Chevy stopped being terrible after ~2010. The Elantra & Forte started to have serious style after 2010. Ford imported their European best-seller Focus in 2010 while Chevy finally made their first decent compact Cruze with a class-first turbo engine. Sitting next to the boring & uninspired design of the Civic mk9, yes it was bland. Now in 2016, I argue the worse car in the compact segment is the Corolla. I would even add the Dart but Dodge is killing it in 2017.
+Trades46 Sorry, but my 2015 Civic is not boring AT ALL.... It is very confortable, agile, practical and very responsive.... It feels very safe on road, specially at high speed... I have put reached the 160 Km/h or 99.4 MPH, on the highway, and it feels very hugged to road... Actually, it is well known the later 9th gen Civic was had way more sporty driving than any other model in the segment, specially better than the latest Corolla, with is crappy suspension with torsion beam at the rear, while the Civic has featured independent suspension since many generations ago... And about the Engine... well, That R18 with i-VTEC is better than all other engines in the segment with similar displacement, specially that 1.8 VVT-i in the Corolla, stupidly underpowered... So at the end, I dont find the 9th or 8th Generation Civic boring, in any way.... Did I mention that the Civic is one of the most aftermarket customizable cars in the market? Well I just said it...
+wtrdogg20 Just wait for the next generation Corolla made on the new TNGA platform. Akio is really pushing the boys in the engineering dept. to up their game on handling and performance and the stylists are truly going wild at Toyota these days. Sadly, the next generation of Corolla won't be made way down south in the land of cotton or even Canuckistan it will instead come from Mexico.
0:50 When I took my friend's Civic out for a spin last year I was definitely surprised by it's handling/responsiveness. It felt so weird coming from a C-class Mercedes, which handles like a boat by comparison. Not necessarily a bad thing if you're more into comfort focused ride. Aside from the overall cheaper feel to the car, the Honda is a great car and I am seriously considering it as a replacement for the Benz. PROS: amazing mileage, more affordable, reliability and the options list doesn't add up to the price of a new car. CONS: no 4-wheel drive and the ride feels rougher around the edges than that of my 10 year old Mercedes. With the prices of gas what they are and the time it still takes to charge an electric car (inconvenient when going on a road trip), the Honda seems like the perfect choice for a sensible, budget oriented person.
Suboptimus Lime The Corolla is a great value. It has standard safety features like adaptive cruise control, autonomous braking, and LED headlights. Civic makes you pay more to get those features
Never thought I would buy a Honda Civic, when I saw the hatchback test drove it bought it that night. Black on black it's awesome and beautiful. Love it!
***** lol wow you're an idiot. The Civic was considered a subcompact car up until 2000 when the 2001 Civic launched and became just a compact car. The Civic COMES in a sedan, coupe, and (now) hatchback bodystyle. A sedan is not a market segment, it's a bodystyle. The size of the car (subcompact, midsize, etc) can be considered a market segment.
Just bought my first ever Honda. The 2017 Honda Civic Ex hatchback. It's got great power and it's aggressive looking! Honda did a great job with the 10th generation Civic! Thanks for sharing great videos always Micah.
A couple of important oversight for the Touring trim is lack of Homelink system and a lockable glove box. I wish these were available, but otherwise, a well-improved, luxurious, safe, and fuel efficient Civic update in Honda's history. Thanks Micah for your review. I'm waiting for my Civic Touring to arrive next week at the dealer!
I test drove the 1.5l EX-L today and I am definitely financing as soon as I get my tax return. The engine is very peppy, the interior is comfortable and premium feeling, while still remaining practical and spacious. The exterior styling is (imo) very attractive and striking, especially in black like the one I drove. Can't wait to have this.
Got a 2017 Civic Touring a few months ago and I absolutely love it. I used to drive a 2014 Elantra and let me tell you, the difference is night and day when it comes to handling. Once you drive a well handling car for a while, going back to cars with average or bad handling feels so weird. I almost never drive my old car now :0
I love civics. I drove an '01 through college then bought and still own a' 10. We had one of these newer civics as a loaner from the dealership and were impressed by the gas mileage we got on a road trip.
I like how this guy inserts "fun" into this Honda review. A twinkle in his eye and mischievous grins during the video, put a smile on my face while simultaneously learning a lot about the Civic. Good job.
Now that Honda finally fixed the surging issue for the turbo models and the no audio issue for the touring. I can honestly say that I love my Civic Touring
I never had any doubts about buying this car, I just find that at first it was really big compare from civics before this one. I love this version of the Civic, can't wait to buy one.
Or you could both pay attention to the road AND enjoy the added safety of Honda Sensing because human beings make mistakes all of the time while driving.
Was thinking about buying Manual 2019 Jetta simply because of dealer selling it $4000 or more less than its MSRP, but after doing my research and learning that VW Jetta, loses it is value 49% in just 3 years, I said to myself Honda Civic is the best option.
+Michael Nelson i dont see how is that true... vw engines are not that great, their interior start to peel off in some plastics... when they break down the repair costs are too damm high...

Hey everyone PLEASE be careful if you're thinking about buying a new Honda. I just bought a 2017 Civic Touring and have had nothing but electrical issues. Out of the last 9 days of owning the car it's been in the shop 7 days. PLEASE look up all the electrical issues the newer Hondas have. Please. The subwoofer constantly rattles, my center screen has went dark, the adaptive cruise control slams on its breaks without another car present, etc.
I am a 2017 Honda civic 1.5 touring owner. exact color too. and I love it. drives smooth. very quiet when I'm on my phone via Bluetooth. very great on gas. I love it. just absolutely love it. js. 😊
I purchased at night a Burgundy (looks almost black) Civic EX in January, from a dealer in TN, near the GA border. Drove it straight home, no issues. When I carefully wash it in the sunlight a day later, I noticed a 4 inch, but shallow indentation in the roof panel. Something that would occur when the roof panel was pressed and molded and the material in that spot on the steel was not as thick or strong as the rest of the blank. Immediately notified the dealer (I'd just spent $21k on the car), that I wanted the car replaced. The dealer acknowledged the existence of the deformity, but would not replace the vehicle. Contacted the factory where it was made in the U.S., as well as the U.S. marketing headquarters & Japanese headquarters. They referred me back to the dealer with the final proposal of the manufacturer paying for half & the dealer paying the other half to 'fix' it, not replace it. Indicating that they'd get 'someone' to push or pull out the indentation. Second issue. While driving the car on a busy day, all of the indicator lights went crazy, such as brake system warning, anti skid warning, anti-lock warning and about three more. I immediately pulled over, afraid to drive it. Creeped it home and parked it for more than a week. Took photos of the various warning lights and sent that to the dealer, again asking the car be replaced. Received a nonchalant type response. Third issue: All of this occurred within the first month of ownership. There are several plastic pieces on the exterior near the hood. One of them just popped out for no reason. Couldn't press it back in. Was like it wasn't molded correctly. I was sick of it and decided to trade it for an Accord (because I owned a previous Accord that clocked up to 307,000 miles flawless miles on it. The dealer tried to depreciate the CIVC 27% in less than 2 months of ownership (that ridiculous for a brand that is suppose to have low depreciation). I traded for a bigger Hyundai Sonata Sport that gets the same highway mileage as the Civic (39 to 41mpg). Been happy ever since. Consumer reports, talk about the CVT transmission and infotainment system (I really hated the infotainment all touch screen system).
Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. That's unacceptable that they wouldn't cover those things under warranty and I don't blame you at all for getting rid of it. I bought my EX-T sedan in August and its been sitting in the California sun everyday and I've never had any issues. It sounds like your car wasn't built properly. Again, I don't blame you for getting rid of it. Honda should've been more professional with your problems. Enjoy your new Sonata! They're great cars!
No I purchased a 2016 EX from Honda Superstore of Chattanooga in January. The model has been out at least two months by then. It has build quality issues that the manufacturer didn't want to address, plus the electronic dashboard would go crazy with alarms. Plus a stereo without buttons, took your eyes off the road way too much. Consumer Report even mentioned the dashboard issues from their quality report and did NOT give this compact the highest ratings. The car rated score was in the 70's. Subaru is still rated higher.
vegas wajeel The hatch will probably be officially announced this coming fall '16 than start selling at the end of the year or early next year as a 2017 model.
good god please stop talking about the lack of a volume knob! any driver would rather use the wheel volume anyway. It is such a non issue. It is like complaining about the color of a I.C.B.M.
I hate the steering wheel volume knob... Sorry that traditional stuff that works is liked by some. Rather than complaining about complainers why not just stop complaining yourself ? :) But yes it must be such an inconvenience for your hand to move so far away from the steering wheel and having to also look at the knob! What a distraction..
As a matter of fact....get a 2017-2018 Subaru Impreza. Its better to stand out from the crowd rather than having a car that is too common on the streets which is boring. Plus the new Impreza has more interior passenger space in its class, Apple Carplay/Android Auto, plenty of safety features, higher resale value, and symmetrical AWD! 2017 Japan car of the year and best crash test rating.
I always laugh when I see the back end of a civic at night, and a few other cars. This 'bracket' style rear lamps look like Charlie brown's face when he's frustrated.
1:05 - I'm curious... is the 1.5L affected by the Oil Dilution issue Honda cars are experiencing? Has the KBB accounted for this in their price recommendations?
Just got a 2017 ex and loving it..the only thing I don't like is the screaming CVT when I'm in sport mood..it kinda make me wish I had get a manual transmission instead,.other than that it's a fun car to drive..
+yonda “pope” ila It's MSRP is $27,000. What you pay is entirely different, since this is a high volume car. I paid $24,900 for my Touring (top of the line trim with every option ticked).
+Jorge Lopez I would not say ugly. But the lack of curve between the back window and the top of the trunk make it kind look awkward. I prefer the hatchback version.
Thinking about getting this as my 'responsible' car. though I would be going for the Honda sense and Subwoofer packages. hoping to find a used one in a year or so (after I pay off my current one) with those features as I don't believe in buying cars new.
I bought a 1988 Civic DX Hatch last year. Old lady owned it, she was the original owner, I left a note on it and she said give me $100 and it's yours. Car was mint for the body original paint, original everything. Best part 40,000 miles on it, original 1.5l engine and transmission. The only con of it is the lame 4 speed auto. Haven't seen very many automatic civics of this gen but that's one of them.
Was planning on buying a 2016 honda civic, but noticed something, it seems the ones I'm looking at no longer has a touchscreen display and also no volume control on the steering wheel. Googled it but can't find info, so did the touchscreen not work and they replaced it? Looks like the older ones from the previous civics.
Wow, it was a good review, presented very well too. I have seen many car review videos but this was, by far the best. And your camera work is simply awesome dude. Pay your camera guys some more :P Keep up the good work. I am a fan of your channel from now.
Waaaaaaaaay smaller than this. I LOVE the 3 but no way it's better than this. Might be a little more fun, but honda has that in their DNA too don't worry.
+3rev 3 series is Considered a luxury car and does not belong to this league. Even at the luxury car division, the C-class is the better looking of them all😉
Unfortunately for Honda, the newer Chevy Cruze and newer Ford Focus are far better. More so the Cruze with its refinements. The interior of this Civic looks dated and very plasticky. Not a bad car, just trying to hard. Now before the Honda boyz have a heart attack, all these newer cars are nice in their own right and offer something unique. At least I was fair.
Hats off to Honda once again, with providing only the very best styling, performance, durability and amazing and I mean amazing fuel economy! BRAVO TO HONDA once again proving why they reign supreme
+Chummy Chime You're an idiot. Mazda 3 is rated good (highest possible) in all 5 IIHS tests and is a Top Safety Pick +. Do some research before saying dumb things and stop spreading misinformation. www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/3-4-door-sedan
This is very nice. I just got a 16 Malibu but if I knew this was coming I would've at least waited. Considering the options, you can get ALL the bells and whistles for a really good price. 25k-27k
Does anyone know how well the stereo/ speaker system is in the LX model? I'm considering trading in my 2010 Camry LE and it's six speakers kicked butt. I HATE when speakers "bubble" or rattle when the bass line hits in a song or if you try to increase the volume. I know my friends 2016 Subaru Crosstrek is the WORST at that. I just wanted to know how this Honda stacked up in comparison to those two.
The LX stereo/speakers are a little above average. I watched a few of "flyingato" videos about his Civic and even though he has the civic sport hatch I think it's the same exact stereo that comes in the LX trim..and he likes the stereo just fine. I've also read one of the Civic forums where some folks have purchased/installed aftermarket stereos and/or speakers for not too much money and they make a huge difference. I hope this helps..are you looking to get the sedan or hatchback?
Great video! I'm interested in trading in my Honda Civic 2007 but does the LX model have a fuel gauge/fuel range indicator where it shows how many miles until the next gas fill up?
I was on the fence about the Civic hatchback or mazda 3 hatchback. Drove both and ended up buying the Civic EXL hatch. Driveability isn't even close, the Civic is Unbelievably responsive. Civic has more HP and better gas mileage. Lacking a volume nob is my only complaint so far.
The new gen civic's are hella nice.

I got a 2006 that is pretty great, i guess after 11 years and only issues are a key fob that don't work, and a front speaker that finally went away.
In 5 years ricers will destroy it's reputation and publicity.
Nice, but, built like a glop of Shit...
Honestly yeah

Very nice. 1 question. Is it as incredibly fun to drive as the Mazda3? Im liking the Civic, but the CVT engine has me looking elsewhere.
To be honest, the Mazda 3 was more fun to drive than the Civic but the Civic's infotainment system and "Honda Quality and Reliability" got me to purchase the Civic
+Jae An How much did you pay for it? I'm debating between the civic and accord.
$19,050 including taxes and registration (no Honda Sensing). Accord EX was $27k so I just went with the Civic. I'd go with Civic unless it's going to be a family car
$19050 out the door is pretty good price for an EX. Where did you live and got from what dealer cuz I'm curious. Thanks!

Out of the last 9 days of owning the car it's been in the shop 7 days. PLEASE look up all the electrical issues the newer Hondas have. Please. The subwoofer constantly rattles, my center screen has went dark, the adaptive cruise control slams on its breaks without another car present, etc.
Shea Ellington I think my subwoofer rattles what do I do ??? :/ I just got a 2017 Honda Civic ex
TkoBallerx had my 2017 xse Corolla for 5 months without any issues. Goodluck though with that Honda.
Eddie jr good
That's a used car, you can blame the previous owner for those problems, not honda.
I call this bullshit sponsored by...
I am a 2017 Honda civic 1.5 touring owner. exact color too. and I love it. drives smooth. very quiet when I'm on my phone via Bluetooth. very great on gas. I love it. just absolutely love it. js. 😊
Purchased one in January. Sold it by March. Had some build quality issues that Honda would not address, no matter how much I pursued it.
Build quality issues? Do you mind elaborating? I'm just curious.
I purchased at night a Burgundy (looks almost black) Civic EX in January, from a dealer in TN, near the GA border. Drove it straight home, no issues. When I carefully wash it in the sunlight a day later, I noticed a 4 inch, but shallow indentation in the roof panel. Something that would occur when the roof panel was pressed and molded and the material in that spot on the steel was not as thick or strong as the rest of the blank. Immediately notified the dealer (I'd just spent $21k on the car), that I wanted the car replaced. The dealer acknowledged the existence of the deformity, but would not replace the vehicle. Contacted the factory where it was made in the U.S., as well as the U.S. marketing headquarters & Japanese headquarters. They referred me back to the dealer with the final proposal of the manufacturer paying for half & the dealer paying the other half to 'fix' it, not replace it. Indicating that they'd get 'someone' to push or pull out the indentation.
Second issue. While driving the car on a busy day, all of the indicator lights went crazy, such as brake system warning, anti skid warning, anti-lock warning and about three more. I immediately pulled over, afraid to drive it. Creeped it home and parked it for more than a week. Took photos of the various warning lights and sent that to the dealer, again asking the car be replaced. Received a nonchalant type response.
Third issue: All of this occurred within the first month of ownership. There are several plastic pieces on the exterior near the hood. One of them just popped out for no reason. Couldn't press it back in. Was like it wasn't molded correctly.
I was sick of it and decided to trade it for an Accord (because I owned a previous Accord that clocked up to 307,000 miles flawless miles on it. The dealer tried to depreciate the CIVC 27% in less than 2 months of ownership (that ridiculous for a brand that is suppose to have low depreciation). I traded for a bigger Hyundai Sonata Sport that gets the same highway mileage as the Civic (39 to 41mpg). Been happy ever since.
Consumer reports, talk about the CVT transmission and infotainment system (I really hated the infotainment all touch screen system).
Wow! I'm sorry to hear that. That's unacceptable that they wouldn't cover those things under warranty and I don't blame you at all for getting rid of it. I bought my EX-T sedan in August and its been sitting in the California sun everyday and I've never had any issues. It sounds like your car wasn't built properly. Again, I don't blame you for getting rid of it. Honda should've been more professional with your problems. Enjoy your new Sonata! They're great cars!
must be the 2015 model. not the current model if you had it last march!!
No I purchased a 2016 EX from Honda Superstore of Chattanooga in January. The model has been out at least two months by then.
It has build quality issues that the manufacturer didn't want to address, plus the electronic dashboard would go crazy with alarms. Plus a stereo without buttons, took your eyes off the road way too much. Consumer Report even mentioned the dashboard issues from their quality report and did NOT give this compact the highest ratings.
The car rated score was in the 70's. Subaru is still rated higher.
Eagerly waiting for the KBB's review of the Honda Civic 2016 Coupe version !!
Keep up the great work :D
5:07 Never change the lane on the intersection!
snow.....FLAKE!
Just picked up a Black 2017 Civic Ex-T Coup. It's really fast and I love Apple Carplay. Get one.
"Look how much room I have!" Yeah with skinny legs I bet you have room lol
Looks exceptionally good in Red color!
Can't wait for that hatchback to come out soon!
+SKEMETUBE Type Si and Type R!!!
+SKEMETUBE It's more of a lift back than a hatch which is a pity after such a long wait.
+Desperate4Attention is the hatch coming out in the 2016 model or only the 17?
vegas wajeel The hatch will probably be officially announced this coming fall '16 than start selling at the end of the year or early next year as a 2017 model.
Getting mine tomrrow . . so excited 😍👍 !
Seems like Honda tried to do too much on the styling, the rear end looks odd
Pero Perhan the new Civic look odd.
I guess I'm the only one who likes the back.
Hatchback is your friend.
It just looks like most other compacts, but I like iy
FrldyZX87 the civic type r is worse
Awesome review. Your review was so lively and fun to watch. Great going dude
They finally realized they needed to focus on appearance too! Too many years has the civic just looked like that same box year after year.
I want a sports car so bad for my first vehicle but, this car is so good and is so much more practical for my needs.
I could never live without a volume knob on the radio, that is why I got a 2017 Hyunda Elantra instead.
I love Micah's reviews more than any one..he looks and sounds intuitive friendly
good god please stop talking about the lack of a volume knob! any driver would rather use the wheel volume anyway. It is such a non issue. It is like complaining about the color of a I.C.B.M.
I hate the steering wheel volume knob... Sorry that traditional stuff that works is liked by some.
Rather than complaining about complainers why not just stop complaining yourself ? :)
But yes it must be such an inconvenience for your hand to move so far away from the steering wheel and having to also look at the knob! What a distraction..
In 3 years they will say ...and these cars still have an outdated volume knob....
+hondatrix lol true
It's actually an issue. My wife has this car and the inconvenience is just too much
+madridtillidie l m a o. She'll adapt. It really isn't that big of a deal.
As a matter of fact....get a 2017-2018 Subaru Impreza. Its better to stand out from the crowd rather than having a car that is too common on the streets which is boring. Plus the new Impreza has more interior passenger space in its class, Apple Carplay/Android Auto, plenty of safety features, higher resale value, and symmetrical AWD! 2017 Japan car of the year and best crash test rating.
maybe honda should have NOT put a CVT in there
Honda uses CVT because it is more efficient than either traditional automatic or manual transmission
yea , but it's not reliable at all. The most it can last is 5 months, even less. better to get a 6 speed or even a dual clutch.
mark rakov DCT on a sub-$30k vehicle? Are you serious? Lmao
its a CVT trasmission, which stands for continuous variable transmissoin.
I know what CVT means. You mentioned a dual clutch (DCT), which is unlikely on a vehicle at this price point
I just got mine, Idk what to say but this car is AWESOME.
just bought one on Saturday. The corolla sucked, it didn't look sporty enough.
TheYellowmon02 You should have checked consumer reports before you did that... Honda/Civic are way behind for this year in terms of reliability.
DeathMammoth Honda is doing this stupid fastback sloping rooflines the new Hondas are looking stupid in the exterior.
Yea Toyota needs to step up their design game and make their cars look less granny
Do you know if the Sedan Touring Model will offer a manual transmission later this year rather than just CVT?
I always laugh when I see the back end of a civic at night, and a few other cars. This 'bracket' style rear lamps look like Charlie brown's face when he's frustrated.
1:05 - I'm curious... is the 1.5L affected by the Oil Dilution issue Honda cars are experiencing? Has the KBB accounted for this in their price recommendations?
Honda Civic Sound- HHOOOOOOOONNNNNDDDDDAAAAAAA
Toyota Prius Sound- IMMMMM GGGGAAAAAAAAAY
Just got a 2017 ex and loving it..the only thing I don't like is the screaming CVT when I'm in sport mood..it kinda make me wish I had get a manual transmission instead,.other than that it's a fun car to drive..
Is it normal?
I will never buy a Honda Civic for $$27,000 for a civic no way!!!!!!
+KillSumHakGwais Camaro
+KillSumHakGwais Exactly, why for 27,000 would you buy a civic when you could get a v6 beast Camaro.
+yonda “pope” ila It's MSRP is $27,000. What you pay is entirely different, since this is a high volume car. I paid $24,900 for my Touring (top of the line trim with every option ticked).
davidrx795 Yeah, I agree
+davidrx795 the Honda Civic is defiantly not made in Ohio you mean indiana
king returns
Beautiful car except for the back it looks kinda ugly.
+Jorge Lopez I would not say ugly. But the lack of curve between the back window and the top of the trunk make it kind look awkward. I prefer the hatchback version.
Jorge Lopez I think the 2012 is looking ugly
GamerTaserz GT I don't like the vary sloped rear roof.....the new Civic just look weird and fugly.
Rye Shelton. I own one of those. Don't mind me
Jorge Lopez YOU look kinda ugly
Thinking about getting this as my 'responsible' car. though I would be going for the Honda sense and Subwoofer packages. hoping to find a used one in a year or so (after I pay off my current one) with those features as I don't believe in buying cars new.
watch out corolla this is miles better
"Miles" better ... haha I get it :)
wurd
Clous von Check out consumer reports... then get back to me. Honda and this new Civic are not as reliable as Toyota or the Corolla.
Travis Judd I don't think reliability is the reason people buy civic over corolla tho
Travis Judd
Of late CR hasn't really been accurate either.
I bought a 1988 Civic DX Hatch last year. Old lady owned it, she was the original owner, I left a note on it and she said give me $100 and it's yours. Car was mint for the body original paint, original everything. Best part 40,000 miles on it, original 1.5l engine and transmission. The only con of it is the lame 4 speed auto. Haven't seen very many automatic civics of this gen but that's one of them.
Corolla is better. Team Toyota!!
Matthew Liguori no. Lol.
Was planning on buying a 2016 honda civic, but noticed something, it seems the ones I'm looking at no longer has a touchscreen display and also no volume control on the steering wheel. Googled it but can't find info, so did the touchscreen not work and they replaced it? Looks like the older ones from the previous civics.
Add a volume Knob! 😭
Wow, it was a good review, presented very well too. I have seen many car review videos but this was, by far the best. And your camera work is simply awesome dude. Pay your camera guys some more :P Keep up the good work. I am a fan of your channel from now.
Mazda 3 is still the better looking of them all
Waaaaaaaaay smaller than this. I LOVE the 3 but no way it's better than this. Might be a little more fun, but honda has that in their DNA too don't worry.
BMW M3 is still better looking of them all
+3rev 3 series is Considered a luxury car and does not belong to this league. Even at the luxury car division, the C-class is the better looking of them all😉
+3Revs This kid 😂
Lots of stupid comments in here.
How is the trunk on the Touring model smaller? The sub takes up no additional space. Its the same size as the other models.
Engine recalled, infotainment problems and unresponsive
+E “GymRatt” Bentz 1.5L Turbo is in the clear. Only 2.0L is recalled.
Mazda 3 and Honda civic 2016, best compacts overall hands down!
for some reason this guy rubs me the wrong way. He's just a bit too much show for me!
This is the best car ever . Hi Micah
Unfortunately for Honda, the newer Chevy Cruze and newer Ford Focus are far better. More so the Cruze with its refinements. The interior of this Civic looks dated and very plasticky. Not a bad car, just trying to hard. Now before the Honda boyz have a heart attack, all these newer cars are nice in their own right and offer something unique. At least I was fair.
Fords are junk, disposable cars. After 80K miles you can just throw them away.
Dawn Of A New Era thrulpe ☺️😄😱👌😇😱😇🎎🎉🎉✉️🎐✉️👾👽㊙️🅰️🛑📴🆎🆎ijckl
5 years then the cruze and focus won't be on the road anymore anyways.
Was going to get this but end up getting the Mazda 3 instead. No regrets.
still wont match a corollas resale, reliability, or cheap servicing
+Jonathan Isaac Rice my 16 year old 200 runner limited has 216k miles and still runs fine.
Yep, these Civics aren't reliable now.
Whatever. You talking about a Honda
Also won't match Corolla's boring design, cheap interior materials and refusal to add carplay at all.
Prophet Ascending Lately they haven't been reliable.
Hats off to Honda once again, with providing only the very best styling, performance, durability and amazing and I mean amazing fuel economy! BRAVO TO HONDA once again proving why they reign supreme
the mazda 3 is way batter.
+Chummy Chime You're an idiot. Mazda 3 is rated good (highest possible) in all 5 IIHS tests and is a Top Safety Pick +. Do some research before saying dumb things and stop spreading misinformation. www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/mazda/3-4-door-sedan
Chummy Chime Was he in a 2016 Mazda 3? I'm sorry about your loss, but you should've specified that it wasn't a crash test.
Lol Mazdas are shit. They live at the shop.
Felipe N A Why do you think that?
(MrSniper)+ From Mars! From experience.
Does the screen with the apple car play come with the base model ?
This is very nice. I just got a 16 Malibu but if I knew this was coming I would've at least waited. Considering the options, you can get ALL the bells and whistles for a really good price. 25k-27k
Does anyone know how well the stereo/ speaker system is in the LX model? I'm considering trading in my 2010 Camry LE and it's six speakers kicked butt. I HATE when speakers "bubble" or rattle when the bass line hits in a song or if you try to increase the volume. I know my friends 2016 Subaru Crosstrek is the WORST at that. I just wanted to know how this Honda stacked up in comparison to those two.
The LX stereo/speakers are a little above average. I watched a few of "flyingato" videos about his Civic and even though he has the civic sport hatch I think it's the same exact stereo that comes in the LX trim..and he likes the stereo just fine. I've also read one of the Civic forums where some folks have purchased/installed aftermarket stereos and/or speakers for not too much money and they make a huge difference.
I hope this helps..are you looking to get the sedan or hatchback?
Great video! I'm interested in trading in my Honda Civic 2007 but does the LX model have a fuel gauge/fuel range indicator where it shows how many miles until the next gas fill up?
yes it does. It has a little nob on the gauges that you turn that lets you see how many miles left till you have to fuel up
Neil Patel Don't do it!! Your 2007 Civic is much more reliable.
Any opinions? Honda civic or Mazda 3?? Gonna test ride both but would like to hear what other people think.
How's this car on snowy weather (since it's FWD)? Any thoughts on this?
The civic is great in the snow..check out flyinggato's youtube video on this very subject!
I was on the fence about the Civic hatchback or mazda 3 hatchback. Drove both and ended up buying the Civic EXL hatch. Driveability isn't even close, the Civic is Unbelievably responsive. Civic has more HP and better gas mileage. Lacking a volume nob is my only complaint so far.
