I have the 23 civic hatch touring and got 12k miles in a little over a year. Best daily, was looking for a hatchback and reliable. Was either the corolla or civic. Wouldve got the camry wagon concept but never was made
Just bought a Sport Touring as a workhorse to keep miles off my TLX Type S, I have no regrets… it’s an amazing car and a great commuter that’s fun to zip around in economically
You helped make my decision. Don't want the turbo. More complexity , less reliability. Just want something to get to point A to point B and fun to drive. The 2.0 is great for me and manual transmission.
4:55 BINGO! I decided on non turbo MT Sport Hatch as my next car awhile ago. I will take the detractors, thin paint, no fog lamps, and the cup holder hole in the center arm rest for the manual transmission. Engine and transmission should be everyone's top priority. I am going multi point and MT, avoiding any future turbo issues and the schlachty CVT crapola. This car under $30,000 is a fantastic deal, north of that price and probably not a good spend. That boost blue is awesome fantastic. I am thinking with the rear fin and black badging to guarantee they will have to make the car for my specs instead of a dealer lot variant.
The LX & EX-L is basically the budget, entry level, and luxury consumer Civic Hatchbacks respectively, basically for the non enthusiast oriented driver. The Sport & Sport Touring is for the generally more enthusiast oriented driver. The Sport being the general best bang for the buck, with all the essential goodies with the more reliability, without the frills, with less things to go wrong, like no sunroof, and manual adjust seats. Great overview in this video.
I just purchased an '24 EX-L as my new daily commuter (110mi/day). I think the only thing lacking in it is the sound system. It could definitely do with a sub to fill out the sound.
Sport wins for me, love the black wheels more economic better and longer lasting, if you take care of your interior and cloth is nice especially here in Texas sometimes the leather can age badly
100% agree i got a sport as my first car unfortunately i couldnt get the 6sp manual as a car enthusiast but, im willing to buy a older hatchback civic for the vibes as my first manual car to drive then instead of my main one
Yep - Sport w/6MT is the way to go for longevity and simplicity. K20 engine is the way to go for reliability, only drawback is no sunroof. Just wish Honda gave it full analog gauges, no auto-start/stop to help offset the cost of the sunroof.
You should do the TOYOTA COROLLA! I just test drove an SE Sport and honestly liked it - premium features are more than the Civic sport at a lower price point…. But I love the style of the Civic. Lifetime Powertrain warranty might sell me on the Corolla Sport, but still debating. Time will tell
Lx or Type R. Its a hard choice. I shopped all the cars in this class. All of them. It came down to the Mazda 3 and the sport touring. I had to go with the Honda. Its more versatile
Mazda 3 is too crappy and harder to see out of. Civic Touring Sedan because Sport Touring you lose the back end but you have an option of either CVT or 6MT with Sport Touring. Still better choice than Mazda 3. But if the Mazda 6 was still around ... think I could have gone with that.
This is a great vid, comparing models, clear, precise and straight to the point. I have a sport 6MT on reserve very tempted to switch to the touring model. I found a used integra a spec around the same price as the touring too.
Thank you! And I have also debated about the Integra A Spec against the Sport Touring. But the manual Integra is the Integra w/Technology. Those are almost always going for 37k or more, so that's enough to make me stay looking at the Civics.
That's easy the Sport trim is BEST with a 6 speed manual transmission with the K20C2 engine, Say NO to the 1.5 liter, This if you plan on owning it for more than 100,000 miles as a daily driver otherwise who cares.
Better check on turbo motor. From what I read they were having head gasket problems. I getting the na 2.0. Won't win races but zippy enough for me and been around along time and is very reliable.
I have civic sport. I feel like i made wrong decision after putting 10k down. Paying 500$ a month plus over 200 in insurance...for what 7 years? Yes dude im paying like 50k for it.
Your furry is wearing the cone!!! I love furries! I prefer the sedan over the hatchback, as far as exterior look, however, the Honda doesn't make the sedan in stick shift.
How on earth can Honda not have lumbar support in the top Touring trims of the sedan and hatchback, which are over $30,000 cars? You've got to be kidding me. The seat designer needs to be fired.
@@thesilveremir This is just not a feature. This is something many potential buyers want and need. I'm sure some people have moved on to another vehicle because of this. Besides, Touring models already a power seat, I've never seen any other current car manufacture who offers a power seat and leaves out the lumber support. As well, the Accord costs thousands more than the Civic. Plus, it's a much large car as well. If anyone is shopping for a Civic, they're not interested in a midsize car. They would shop for either a Forte, Carolla, Impreza, Sentra, etc.
Correction: The dual exhaust on the sport touring is functional and not fake... just bought the sport touring a month ago.

I’m happy to be in canada. The sports trim is the sports touring minus the entertainment upgrades

How's real world mpg?
Couldn’t agree more got roughly 4,800 on my ‘23 and the speakers are my biggest complaint. Along with the rear hatch leaking water on heavy rains 😂.
@@samyoon3218 I'm averaging around 37mpg. I would say 95% of my commute is highway miles. I do get stop and go traffic when I get closer to the city.
Got the EX-L literally a week ago. So far everything is great. I just wish Civics were smaller like they were in the 90s to about 2016.
Sport wins for me, love the black wheels more economic better and longer lasting, if you take care of your interior and cloth is nice especially here in Texas sometimes the leather can age badly

The exhausts on the sport touring aren’t fake. They are clearly visible & functional in billions of review videos.
Great video. Thanks for the concise, to-the-point comparison across the different trims. Helps a lot with my decision.
Great video on explaining the differences between trims. I chose the Type R. Such a great car.
Thanks for watching and I think you made the right choice for sure

Not only it's a better Overall Car, Has better resale Value in 10 years as well.

Love the extensive look at my options 😊❤👍🏿

Bought a sport touring but needed more space and power. Upgraded to an Accord 2.0t Touring and I'm happy!
That shift knob shown @ 4:39 doesn’t exist. I’m pretty sure it has to be a rendering.
Great video. Thank you.

please do a video on the honda accords different types of trims please emir
Does it have to be a Hatchback? Civic Touring Sedan and Civic Type R are the best. Maybe the Integra S or Audi RS3.
Currently own a 10th gen hatch CVT, im looking to get into a MT. Would a NA engine be better or a turbo ?
Depends what you value. If you want reliability go for the NA, if you want a bit more power go for the Turbo.
Better check on turbo motor. From what I read they were having head gasket problems. I getting the na 2.0. Won't win races but zippy enough for me and been around along time and is very reliable.
Civic 2024 hybrid.....thats the car....waiting for that one.
Absolutely Europeans are getting 85+ mpgs with them, The E-CVT from Honda it's being tested and perfected in Europe as we speak-write 🤫
Please make vid like this for 10th gen
Damn those prices are cheap. In my country the Type R price is 63K
Do the accord pls i cant wrapp my head around why they are faster then the si😢😂
Are these the 2023 or 2024 models?
If I recall right 2024

Got to find a way to keep some features away. So to convince you to upgrade to the Accord or the Acura line
