I've own many civics in the past. a 94 civic si hatchback, 2004 civic lx 4door, and 2006 civic si coupe. Now I have a 2013 civic LX 4door. All the cars are manual. This new civic is a joy to drive way better than all the previous generations. The road noise have been dramtically improved. The styling of the car is a nice step up from the 8th generation. Although it doesnt have the wow look factor of other cars in its class, it is a beautiful car and a joy to own.
in Malaysia, we don't get all those update. all they throw in the new model is just a reverse camera n lame extended reflector at the side of the rear brake lamp. but it still look nice though
Funny some reviewers are so obessed with soft touch matetial. Agree a soft touch material would be nice on some area where u rest ur arm but on a dashboard area? Do people actually rub their face or rear end on that area?
Can't wait for the new Earth Dreams engines to come to the Civics with Atkinson/OTTO valvetrain behavior, hopefully with auto start/stop and CVTs with paddle shifters. Also, full hybrids rather than mild hybrid in their Honda Hybrids. Might come out for the 2015 year
We were looking for a touring civic but ended up with an altima sl i know its on a diff league but nissans lower interest and altimas lower insurance rate made the monthly payment the same
The name of the game is bang for the buck,if you can't afford gas,probably can't afford the extra 10k in unecessary gadgets,competition in this business is a bitch,at least in the US.
Other than reliability or maintenance costs, can someone please tell me why I'd spend $25000 on this car when I could spend $20000 on a used 3 series and put 5k in the bank for maintenance?
Both have cheap plastics, since the X1 is an entry level hatchback (mini CUV) and is full of hard plastics too (sat in one at the autoshow). My RL has soft plastics with nice graining wherever possible (the entire door panel, upper and lower dash, entire rear doors, etc). Does it make me a better person or get me from A to B quicker? Heck, no! But if getting from A to B was all anyone wanted to do, why do people drive Rolls Royce? Might as well buy a beater car lol.
LMAO for a BMW you're gonna need a heck of a lot more dough than 5K to keep it running as long as a Honda. >>>>>>BMW's are for posers - ESPECIALLY the 3 series.
great car!! just bought one. i also prefferd the beautiful original audio panel. the best family car in the world. like someone says here, its mini-accord. ive replaced my lancer 2008( at that time it was better then the civic, and new mode) i hade luck to get the 2 best family models in the last 5 years (mitsubishi lancer 1800 2008, and honda civic 2008. 1800) just sorry that in my basic version had no smart entry system......thats the problam with my country.....ha...ha....ha
I agree. Honda needs to partner with either Google or Garmin. Then we can have a real Nav system. They are still using the old 2D system I have in my 10 year old Honda.
Please. A rock hard interior isn't comfortable unless you're a caveman. Plus, you never know, a hard as fuck interior might kill you in a car accident. ;)
At for pretty bmw can beat any honda, they tongue are really fast than honda rpm for the tongue! bmw is higher tongues and can be very quick if they behind you.
i dont like the front look.... company these days are just trying to hard to give a modern look to most cars! after 2-3yrs the look are always outdated.
John O Old comment, but that wasn’t even sexist. It’s true. Women are more likely to have purses. When do you see a man come in with a bag with metal buckles on it? 2% of the time? Cmon man.
If your a guy who hates speed and wants good fuel economy go for this car. I have one and i fkn hate it, this is a car is good to go to point a to point b, the ride is boring as shit and has no power what so ever. I baught this for my wife cuz she doesnt care about speed. I will always love v8 but ya its a good car on gas but boring as fk to drive, if you spend a little more to get a v6 or a v8, trust me everytime you drive you will have a lot more fun driving than this... TRUST ME!
One of the best reviews I´ve ever watched. Congrats!
+seheyser Charles bronson s 88 was probably made in Japan. just sayin'
Civic is 100% rock solid, my 4 dr 03 is still running "and looks" like a new car.
I would love to test out a new one to see how it measures up.

drove my 1988 civic for 480000km. one battery and a couple of brake lights. that's it.
Great, review, thanks. Glad to see a review from Canada.
in Malaysia, we don't get all those update. all they throw in the new model is just a reverse camera n lame extended reflector at the side of the rear brake lamp. but it still look nice though
Thanks for this video. I'm actually from Ontario and I have my eye on a used 2013 Civic (same colour as this one even) for my first ever car.
How've you been?
I also have a 2013 Honda Civic as my first car. Mine's a coupe.
Same here saving cash for this car 😤
I bought this car, you won't regret it, it runs great, looks nice and it saves a lot of gas.
@@AudreyEllis24 I actually did end up getting it last August. I've been very pleased with it.

nice review. my only complaint is the angle at which the navi is mounted. sunroof open = renders it useless.
Why does the civic si not have leather seats maybe for a lighter car but the si seats are still really comfterble
Hi,
When can we expect the review of the 2014 Kia Forte EX??
Can't wait for the new Earth Dreams engines to come to the Civics with Atkinson/OTTO valvetrain behavior, hopefully with auto start/stop and CVTs with paddle shifters. Also, full hybrids rather than mild hybrid in their Honda Hybrids. Might come out for the 2015 year
since i live in the USA, we dont get the touring model, whats the difference between the ex-l and touring
I bought this car in January... rediculously worth every penny. 2012 really sucked compared to this new 2013 version. amazing review.
We were looking for a touring civic but ended up with an altima sl i know its on a diff league but nissans lower interest and altimas lower insurance rate made the monthly payment the same
Loving the 2013 model. Just not a fan of the view of the back. Also more chrome trimming on the sides would've been nice imo.
Where is your Kia Forte review?
great review! great closing music at minute 6:55 too
I like the 2008 the best. the back end on this one is odd
how is it on gas?
It's very nice at 15 grand,but at 25 just don't make sense,you can get a Camaro for that kind of dough...
Very nice and professional review.
I hate how these new cars look, I miss the early 2000s simple models :(
Take one for a test drive. Seriously. I thought the same thing as you initially. Used to be a VW guy. Never again.
kuhataparunks ikr it looks ugly af
he is really confusing me between 2012 and 13. Which is what?
The name of the game is bang for the buck,if you can't afford gas,probably can't afford the extra 10k in unecessary gadgets,competition in this business is a bitch,at least in the US.
Outstanding review!
In the next few days...
Other than reliability or maintenance costs, can someone please tell me why I'd spend $25000 on this car when I could spend $20000 on a used 3 series and put 5k in the bank for maintenance?
Any India when this car will release in India??

The honda will keep going after 300,000 miles not so sure on BMW's
excellent review
The wheel doesn't come out far enough - and this is after driving 50 other cars both old and new, big and small - I simply cant get comfortable in it.
LMAO for a BMW you're gonna need a heck of a lot more dough than 5K to keep it running as long as a Honda.
>>>>>>BMW's are for posers - ESPECIALLY the 3 series.
Steel is more durable, though! It lasts longer!
great review
great car!! just bought one.
i also prefferd the beautiful original audio panel.
the best family car in the world. like someone says here, its mini-accord.
ive replaced my lancer 2008( at that time it was better then the civic, and new mode)
i hade luck to get the 2 best family models in the last 5 years (mitsubishi lancer 1800 2008, and honda civic 2008. 1800)
just sorry that in my basic version had no smart entry system......thats the problam with my country.....ha...ha....ha
Nice grammar d1gps15..by the way, it's called the torque..not tonque..you may have your tonque properly alligned in engineeering classes...
Soft materials don't have a shine to them and they don't scratch as easily. Look at any luxury car to see what they do without hard plastic...
those "women and their handbags" arg...
Good review
Ok then! You should get a dashboard made of Granite or Steel if that is not hard enough.
Also hard plastic reflects sound which is very annoying!
Allright Bro,my mistake,i thought the story was in the US....
I agree. Honda needs to partner with either Google or Garmin. Then we can have a real Nav system. They are still using the old 2D system I have in my 10 year old Honda.
I drive a cavalier, and I also have a bmw x1, and I take this as an insult lol.
I like the 2012 interior more than the 2013. They went nuts with the fake chrome instead of basic materials of the '12.
Muhammad Saim
I cant stand cvt's
Charles Bronson okk
They are awful
Yes, 2013 model is much better. But what was 2012 joke? If I would paying a 2012, I'd feel bad seeing this new one
Please. A rock hard interior isn't comfortable unless you're a caveman. Plus, you never know, a hard as fuck interior might kill you in a car accident. ;)
🎉
At for pretty bmw can beat any honda, they tongue are really fast than honda rpm for the tongue! bmw is higher tongues and can be very quick if they behind you.
nice
and i hate it when i am the 2012 honda civic user -_________-
willing account decade sentence traditional.
My first impression on this model: A Civic and an Accord made a baby and Honda slapped a price tag on it.
Ive got this car, just black on black and different wheels. A sweet ride. Check out my videos! Going to do acceertion, racing and mod videos soon.
Guy you have short legs for your height 😂...but nice review
Şimdi olmuş...
Ehh. After the Honda civic that came out in 05, I stopped liking it. -___-
i dont like the front look.... company these days are just trying to hard to give a modern look to most cars! after 2-3yrs the look are always outdated.
I don't give a fuck about "hard plastic" on surfaces you don't touch
It's japanese designed car
lol way to not talk about the engine or the build of the car
REALLY? You get all butthurt about the nav system?
japanese designed car :)
I guess you've never owned a luxury car then. Might as well drive a cheap Cavalier/Sunfire or Corolla POS
And they say that the VW Jetta looks boring... But this..!!?? The Jetta looks handsome compare to this ugly thing
Are you stupid? the jetta is ugly.. especially the front.
honda fucked up the 2012 civic but the 2013-2014 civic is beautiful.
Hahahahahhaha 3:10 sexist joke ftw :D
John O Old comment, but that wasn’t even sexist. It’s true. Women are more likely to have purses. When do you see a man come in with a bag with metal buckles on it? 2% of the time? Cmon man.
2012 model was better... v.v

Man with gas prices the v8s aren't going anywhere... Should have bought her the si lol
LuxMindset Plus its ugly
