22 sport sedan owner. Of 3 years and now 50k miles. love it. I would suggest though to anyone who wants to buy a new civic buy the sport touring hatchback. You will own that car for decades with no regrets.
Nice comprehensive vid on the civic lineup. Many reviewers don't mention head/legroom dimensions which I appreciate you doing. The interior specs nobody ever mentions are hip and shoulder room. All in all great review.
Nice vehicle inside and out. Why is Honda eliminating the engine temperature gauge in the instrument cluster on many of its models? Come on Honda, that's pretty cheap.
Probably the worst thing about the Honda Civic, other than the auto start/stop. Traditionally, a base trim would have things like this deleted or omitted. But usually would be in the Sport or equivalent trim and up. I think only the Touring and Sport Touring Hatchback with the full digital instrument panel has the temperature gauge.
I have the 2023 Honda Hrv Sport and it is a much better vehicle despite fuel economy because the 2023 Honda Hrv offers Blind Spot Monitoring, and Heated front seats and a comfortable height, and much more cargo space unlike the Civic.
@@shawnfahey7243 That's why I like it over the Civic Sport Hatchback. Both are nice, but it fits my needs and wants more. The balance of cost and equipment is expected to be reasonable to me. Adding other things to one or a few may not seem like much, but it's a big cost for Honda for the full production of vehicles. The same for many other manufacturers. There's a whole much of aftermarket things I already have a list of to tweak it to my liking. I live in Honolulu, HI and would rarely drive to the outer parts of the island where even that is comparatively much shorter distances than where many other people do their daily commutes in locations elsewhere.
The lack of a temperature gauge is very annoying and when I get tax returns I'll probably look into adding one. It's wild that my 2003 LX has a temp gauge and all my brand new Civic Sport has is a temp light that tells you when the engine is cold, and presumably when it's too hot (after it's too late to do anything about it)
I bought the 23 civic sport. Love it. Will be buying foreign from now on. The executives do not own stock in the company and you can really see the difference in the products. I drove FORDs my whole life. The American STOCK shares owning executives care about stock instead of customers.
I have the 22 Civic Sport Sedan. I am considering trading it in for an EX. I like the sunroof. But I like the Sport model wheels and exhaust tip. Not sure what to decide.... They both are good.
Thinking about getting this. Between this and a Hyundai Kona. Had a 2015 civic that’s ran like a dream and I like the reliability of this more than Hyundai. That’s my biggest concern as I travel from time to time
I've got to correct something in this video. In your earlier comparisons, you were comparing a Mazda 3 with the 2.5L NA engine. But in your 0-60 comparison, you posted the number for the 2.0L engine, which they don't even sell anymore in the American market. The 2.5L naturally aspirated Mazda 3 can do 0-60 in 7.0 seconds, which I verified in my own controlled testing. Some car magazines have posted 7.3 or 7.2 times, but Car and Driver got 7.0 seconds in one of their testing batches for the FWD hatchback. Same number I got. Now, the 2.0L option that's unavailable in the current US market does have an 8.3 to as quick as an 8.0 second 0 to 60 time.
Not sure why they put in the 2.0L NA on a Sport trim. I drive a 2021 Civic Sport with the 1.5T and there is a noticeable difference on the fun factor everytime you step on the gas. 2.0L still has the Vtec, proven reliabiliy though and is probably less strained since it is a bigger engine producing less power.
I switched from a 2013 Subaru Impreza to an EX-L, so that screen is practically Star Trek tech compared to the ass 1990's head unit they put in the Subaru. I have five issues: 1. The Auto Idle is god awful. Why do they do this to us. 2. The steering wheel is too reflective and catches afternoon sunlight. 3. The OEM Continentals cannot handle 50% throttle 180hp on hot dry pavement and it's sad. I switched from AWD and RWD cars for the first time so I'm still getting used to FWD. 4. No lumbar adjustments 5. One USB slot in the entire car at the second highest trim level.
Nice I own the sport but nextime I will definitely ask my sales person to teach me about the car and comparisons to other models there are some dislikes with mine but it's meeting my expectations some features are a little overkill appreciate the safety factor in some of then but some are things I'd rather do without for example the auto start lane departure etc. Don't mind them you can torn then off however it defaults back so as far as I know you have to reselect those options everything you start the vehicle ...
It’s the HATED MIRRORS for me 😤😂. @5:30 Great review! It’s funny because I recently financed a 24 Honda Civic LX for my partner and I am an anti Honda guy but my god its so simplistic… makes me want one.
Justin, I just purchased a 2025 Honda Civic Sport and I would like to know how can I turn off the running lights when I turn on my car in the morning. My Honda CRV lights are off when I apply the emergency brakes. Can this work the same with the Civic?
Just noticing more features they skimp on. The 60/40 seat, no blind spot, small infotainment, weak back up camera, no cup holder in the back. Im looking into buying one, but I have a Sentra SV with all the features I need. But the Sentra is a POS
Well crap. I didn’t do my research and thought the SI only had the turbo engine. The dealership tried to get a $5K “premium “. I didn’t pay that but what makes the Si so popular? Is it the suspension? Cosmetic stuff?
Low profile tires are a nightmare for bad roads. This is a huge miss for honda and hopefully this will change. Two sports owners in my condo had their tires destroyed and cars towed because of Low profile tires.
No more fog lights! Still no blind spot monitors or rear cross traffic alerts…. wtf Honda, keep raising the price but taking options away or not keeping up with the competitors… Still like the 2021 better…. Big time steering rack issues with the 24… causing accidents etc.. updated racks have been on back order for 6 months. Avoid the 24 civics.

Just subscribed. The best Civic model breakdown out there! 3 things I would like to ask: 1. Does Honda, for ALL the 1.5 Turbos, recommend premium 91-93 octane? 2. If only the Si need 93 Octane, would the EX and Touring get more HP by using 93? 3. Assuming Honda brings the European version of the Civic hybrid this fall as a 2025 model, with a 2.0 181-184 HP, and 237-243 Torque, would you recommend waiting till they come out before buying an ICE Civic? They are reporting getting 50-70 mpg depending on driving habits. There is a rumor that Honda will put the 2.0 Accord hybrid set up in the Civic and boost the Accord to 225-232 HP next year.
1. You can put regular unleaded gas in the standard Civic with the 1.5 l turbo. 2. I don't know that changing the octane of gas will really affect the horsepower in the regular Civic. 3. I am very curious to see you. What happens with the Civic hybrid. I would love to see something with power get put into it. But that's not typically what Honda does...lol
Honestly I love the Sport and the 2.0. Port injection is a huge win, and it’s much more reliable overall. Capable of 200+ hp with a tune if you want. The 1.5s aren’t fast either, and I don’t think spending extra for them is worth it unless you move up to a Type R (Si being only a sedan is unfortunate but makes sense since they’re pushing you to the more expensive Sport Touring). That being said, everyone has their own needs and wants, but the Sport fit the bill for me.
The civic is roomier interiorly and exteriorly. I got the 2.0 litter engine without turbo. I love mine
I have the 2024 Civic sport hatchback! Love it!💜

I bought a sport love it, great for daily driving. Handles great and accelerates decently for what I need it for.
at 16:43 he claims 158 hp turbo which is incorrect; it’s naturally aspirated. the Sport Touring is turbo at 180 hp.

Great Video! I bought a 2024 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback and I love it!
Rare to see vids about the 2L K20s especially the manual lol It's always the faulty 1.5T. I'll look into adding a temp gauge on mine as well

Bro just get better tires . Simple fix.
The front end on the hatchback Civic looks a little better than the sedan. Red colored cars are gross unless its a Ferrari.
Sport gets really great gas mileage to the point where the extra miles and complications of the hybrid system are not worth it!
