- Join Steve as he takes a fun filled indepth look at the much anticipated 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. With head turning exterior styling, a more luxurious interior and ride...plus great tech options...this might just be a "game changer"! Check it out and see what you think!
Came for info on the car, stayed for the smooth voice and fun personality! Earned my sub
People say this dude is weird but I think all he's trying to do is add a little entertainment in this review, so why bag on him?
Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it..:) Steve
Varun Puri why would he be weird? He's basically positive about everything. It's reallly cool. He doesn't try hard to be edgy like some other reviewers.
***** I'm not calling him weird, but I saw other comments calling him weird and I think it is stupid to bag on him for just trying to make a review entertaining
This guy is definitely a dad. With at least 3 kids. Lol. His "liking fun" comment creeped me out a bit though haha. That aside great review. Very informative ;) cheers
Actually I only have two kids..:) Steve
I cannot wait until I can get mine.... I think the newer look the Civics have is just stunning. Every time I see this car I instantly get cold chills. I drove a 2018 for the first time a couple days ago and oh my god was it amazing.
Great advertising! Not boring at all. Love his energy. I brought this car. Fun to drive.
This guy is entertaining. Lol I'm so excited to get my new 2018 Civic Hatchback in a few days! :D
bel z I love it! It’s fun to drive.

Not going to lie. That retractable privacy cover is genius

I agree. Much better than having to pay $150 for it separately.
I Just Bought this car , same color about to tint tmmrw I'm hella happy! Such a beautiful car
Congratulations on your new ride! Enjoy..:) Steve
Purchasing one this summer 🙏. This color has been my favorite right next to white.
after 4 years what do u think? im picking up mine tomorrow
A very wise investment indeed. In Indonesia, all Civic generations can maintain resale value higher than other cars. Btw, a very complete, proper and fair review. Thank you.
Just got one im so excited this exact color too.
I'm not a hatch guy but I like this.
Honda, PLEASE KEEP THE CIVIC AVAILABLE AS A HATCHBACK! My first Honda was a Civic CX hatchback, so basic I had to have the AC installed. Loved it so much, it made me a life-long Honda buyer! Presently driving a 2014 Accord LX (have had manual transmissions in all of my Hondas) and typically buy a new car every 8-10 years. Keep up the cool styling on the Civics and I'll make it my next car! The hatchback version of the new Civic looks very European. LOVE IT! Steve is a trip as well! Nice work, man! :-)
I just bought this car Friday, I love this thing!
Congratulations! I wish you many years and thousands upon thousands of miles of safe driving pleasure..:) Steve
This color with tinted windows is amazing.
this guy made me sub to this channel! Great review sir!
Thanks! I hope you check out our other videos and pass the word to your friend..:) Steve
I was looking at a new family hauler but with the prices and the fact that 90% of our driving is only 1 or 2 people and short distances, this makes much more sense as a primary vehicle.
Seems like a fun dad
Civic Hatchback looks like the most reliable hatchback next to the Fit, but a little sportier
We get between 42 and 45 mpg on the highway in our 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback EX. We have Honda Sensing in ours. I love almost everything about this car. The only thing I don't care for is having to use the touch screen for some of the climate controls. We have to take our eyes off the road to adjust the fan speed, turn the AC on or off, and change climate zones. The defrost and rear defrost still have physical buttons.
Great review and very entertaining. The new Civic is awesome. Can't wait to see one in the UK. Love your reviews.
Thanks! I'd drive one over there but there's that "ocean" thing between us..:) Steve
Yes, Civics are made in Swindon in England. Unfortunately they decided to export to NA before supplying the UK.
To me the new Civic is a stand out car which is worth the wait. The looks alone are fantastic and the 1.5t engine seems excellent. Good luck with your purchase Kyle.
He is a fun , knowledgeable reviwer! Thanks for the great review.
You're very welcome! Thanks for the feedback..:) Steve
2:41 stay away from drugs kids.. seriously
Great advice!!! Thanks..:) Steve
Excellent presentation: we would like to see you more often, so where have you been al these years?
Thanks for your kind compliment! We've been doing car reviews for the last 13-14 years here on our Rosenthal Automotive channel. Where have you been?!? I'm taking a break after all these years but hope to be "back in the driver's seat" again in the future. Hope you Subscribe to our channel or at least check out our 250 other car reviews..:) Steve
@@rosenthalstevek8869 Thanks for the repsonse Steve! For some reason, I stopped getting notifcations of your new releases, so, from now on, I will make sure to check every now and then if there is any new content to watch, like and share! Cheers from a snowy Montreal after an exceptionnaly mild winter...
PS: I just got a 2017 Civic Sport Touring (in this same color + 6SP MT) as a commuter and I love it (It replaced my beloved MK6 Golf TDI)
Well done Steve.....well done 😎
Good call removing the hunchback bit, it was completely unnecessary. Great review as always! Civic actually looks great.
Well... He was just a special friend of mine that I thought the world was ready to meet. I guess I was wrong. Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you like the new Civic..:) Steve
I think he did a very good review!! And I'm getting one this January!! I love the hatchback for a change from all these hyundai sonata, elantra, chevy cruise and etc that have the same back styles..
Thanks for your kind words. I appreciate it..:) Steve
Finally you back, has been waiting for your video like months ago, did you go to the Paris Auto Show?
As always awesome review!!
Thanks...:) Steve
Great, FUN Review! This car looks amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! You certainly get a big bang for your buck with the new Honda Civics..:) Steve
I have a 17 sport hatch i love it a few things I hate about it is the interior well the color I have ivory and black and side marker lenses they pop out and get loose outside of that its a fun practical car
ok...now whenever i fill up my car ill be imagining him doing the "no more caps" dance.
Ha...! If you wan't to learn how to do it yourself...then simply go to my UA-cam video entitled: How To Do The No More Caps Dance!!! errrr....actually I'm just kidding about that... I didn't make that video...YET..:) Steve
Just bought one 5 days ago!
Great review!!! I'm glad it turns heads.
Thanks..:) Steve
Great review. Very likable presentation.
I'm getting my civic in a couple of weeks time, can't wait
Just LOVE your reviews
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy our work and hope you Subscribe..:) Steve
Great review, very entertaining. Would definitely love to see a sport touring review.
Well done, Steve. The new Civic will launch in march here in germany. Could be my next ride, if it´s as good as you say.
Love your reviews, i suscribe. Thanks from France.
You're welcome!!!! Glad you like our work. Greetings to one and all in France..:) Steve
Micky Phoenix congratulations with the world cup victory
Steve, when are you going to do a proper review of the M2?
Going to be switching from a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Is 3.6l to a Honda civic hatchback
Love that color. A shame the 17 Civic coupe does not offer same color
might pick one up this weekend.
areen khachadouri I love this car! I have had mine for a month
highly recommend it. I love my black one!
Great video! btw i love how the new hatch looks! ☺
Sorry for the delayed response... Just saw your comment... Thanks!!! A lot of people really like the styling change this year...especially on the hatchback..:) Steve
Hey Steve, Your previous review on Honda-Fit (Jazz) pretty much convinced me to buy one and now this! While many other reviewers put CVT down, I jus loved how you looked at from an everyday urban commuter by saying "Save a bucket of fuel". Love your daddy style delivery!
Thanks! Glad you enjoy our work..:) Steve
Hahha I like this guy
Hey Steve can you tell me what the difference between the polished metal and sonic gray are?
The Sonic Gray is the blue/gray color we're showing here...but when the sun hits it...there are amazing flourescent green specs of color that glow in the paint that look really cool..:) Steve
Nice looking and practical to boot.
What!? I’m just here watching the video and I realized I BOUGHT MY CAR THERE (same style and color, but 2019) 🤣
Congratulations on your new ride! I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed reviewing it..:) Steve
That intro makes up for the first time I tried to view this and it was private. All these comments bashing this car is wrong, I think it looks nice and Honda is a brand I like. Bring a Toyota and I'll happily bash that p.o.s lol.
no manual transmission in hatchback?
Top notch review
1) Pinstripes = the 80's called, they want their look back. 2) when is the Sport Touring HB coming out?
Great video!
Thanks! Hope you subscribe..:) Steve
Great review!! Thanks
This dude is too goofy.
I wish I would've waited for the hatchback
Great review for a car I am interested in getting.
Glad to hear. Give me a call please for the Civic Hatchback at Rosenthal Landmark Honda, Mark Davis 7035873716
Sorry. I'm over in Seattle, WA.
Nice I have 1.0 ex primium full option
That's a bad ass ride
when will the dealers get the sport touring trim?
As a daily commuter. When both 2017 Elantra and Civic sedan are similarly equipped. Which one would you prefer if value is the main factor?
teetee tee can't see a reason in a world why you would get a Hyundai over a Honda, ever! Don't
Honda if u see this we need the sun roof available on the manual transmission models
cant someone explain what the issue with the intro is? Confused
I love Steve
Love right back at ya!!! Thanks for watching our videos..:) Steve
Good review :) but why high beams on?
I love this car. I got me one! However I had to go out of state to get me the color I wanted
8chamber shaolin which color did you get?
"It can read the street signs"...? (9:12)
Thx have Honda for offering the sport touring, fully loaded, with a 6 sp. Love my 2019
I imagine you've heard this before, but you remind me of Kirk Douglas a bit
Yeah... I have from time to time... But it's always great to hear it again!!! Thanks..:) Steve
Why are there extra fuses laying in the arm rest?! Did you keep popping them?
Ha...! The car had just arrived the night before and I had them do a rush job on it so I could get the video done asap. I should have noticed the spare fuses they accidentally left behind when we were filming, so I take full responsibility for the oversight. I'm sure they took care of them once I returned the vehicle. Once we finished the editing I just knew someone would notice them..:) Steve
How would you rate the 8-speaker audio? Solid Bass?
I have one it is alright
forward to 2:42 then go to 5:10
Sounds like it was sponsored by Honda. Got excited about the most basic things that every car has.
Neil McMahon I was shocked to see him review an economy car. Usually he reviews audi and other luxury brands..
I do a little bit of both to hopefully provide enough variety for our viewers. I'm getting ready to do the BMW 7 Series next. Thanks for watching and hope you subscribe..:) Steve
srk7555 Great channel subscribed Years ago.
What are the huge black spots on the rear bumper for? Looks horrible
Awesome
Sold.
Excellent review
Thanks..:) Steve
Awesome review. Subscribed!
is this the sonic grey or polished metal?
Aman Ullah Sonic Grey
We are going to but one hatchback VTiL LX
car salesman tells you the obvious.
car enthusiast tells you how the car fells.
“Cap less.! No cap, no cap.! Wooooo,” unreal cringe!
does it come in beige leather?
MeganRT yes if you opt for the EX-L trim level:)
I noticed that you never have any reviews for Infiniti ? 😐
I wish I could but I can only review cars our company sells... Sorry about that... maybe someday we'll get an Infiniti store. But until then...thanks for watching our videos..:) Steve
Where have you been man? Welcome back
Still here..:) Steve
no blind spot monitoring
Dung-Ngoc Le blind spot monitor=turn your skull.
Sport Touring trim offers blind spot monitoring. This particular model, the EX-L comes with Lane departure warning and HondaSense as well as Navigation.
I want to know what different between blind spot monitoring and lane watch camera
Whats the name of the colour?
Sonic Gray
@@sam693691 thank you
Ughh I wanted this color but got lunar silver
Backend looks chopped off. Engine is noisy. Hope it don't have as many problems as the Civic did......wait 2 or 3 years and see what the redesign looks like....
Compared with the old Civic hatchback that was only available in Europe, this new one is just awful in every way...
Doesn't really look like a hatchback compared to the sedan. Also not the biggest fan of the exterior design
Not feeling the wheels.
Nice review tho.
This guy looks/sounds/is probably high.
That rear end is hideous...
if im buying a new car i dont want any dealer badge....i will cancel my purchase if the dealer will insist
EvendimataE or you can just use a heat gun (hair dryer) and peal it off in 15 seconds; you know, like a normal person 🙊
ok if its that easy it should not be a problem.....i just hate it when they dont ask for permission to stick their badge ...and when you are ready to pick up your car you will see its there
What the hell was that no cap celebration? So random. Lost interest after that
Yes..it was a random act or shall we call it "a celebration" of one of life's tiny joys. To lose one's interest so easily in just a silly moment of fun deny's one the opportunity to discover that which one might truly appreciate and enjoy! Why not take a chance and risk 11 minutes and 21 seconds of your life watching the entire video and then pass judgement fairly. If you don't, well thanks for watching it for as long as you did in the first place. We appreciate it..:) Steve
It's typical "Dad" jokes. Relax.
what a horrible intro. 😂 but good review.
Too expensive ! Lot of hard plastic !
everything you physically touch, is soft touch, it is a budget car, not a Lexus, a sub 25k car is a pretty good deal in this day and age, with the feature list you can't really complain.
Lol Camry SE more expensive and more plastic
OMG that intro cringe is real! This guys sounds exactly the sort of guy you would NOT buy a car from.
Prosthetic limb gray…nice! CVT…junk
Seriously...this car looks good? It looks odd.
