I must be old fashioned as fuck! That Civic is fine.Slow? Ok.will it get me to my destination? Yeah!.WTF? Does every car, truck or SUV have to haul ass to do its job? Always about power, 0 to 60, acceleration sport mode etc.Geez just put 707hp in everything! People even question if a R/T, GT, or SXT is fast.I don't get it.
It's such a damn shame that we can't get the 1.5T in the Sport trim sedan or hatchback even though the turbo was available on the previous generation Sport hatchback. I don't want to pay for all the extra fluff of the Sport Touring model that I don't care for or want. No auto Si either. C'mon Honda...
@@moran93oscar28 That's Bull Shit. I have owned 2 manual cars in my life including the turbocharged MK7 GTI, which I owned for 3 years. I love the spiritedness of the stick, but I have since suffered from a permanent hip injury and cannot operate a clutch pedal without pain, and I'm only 32yo. No matter how bad I want the new Si, it is forbidden to me because Honda won't throw in a dual clutch or even a CVT as an option?? Having an automatic available as an option does not take anything away from the manual Si. What is your logic behind this statement?
how does it look anything like a Hyundai?? it's a Honda's product - Japanese made. Please don't even compare it with any Korean - not qualified or eligible YET!

Great review man! Honda knocked it out of the park in my opinion. I agree that the plastic doors are cheap, but they are comparable to the small compact competition (excluding Mazda3). I’m looking forward to your review of the hatch!
the 2.0 engine does not have direct fuel injection it actually has multiport fuel injection it even says it on Honda's website just wanted to point that out
I love all your reviews, I am a total Honda person, though I don’t really like the sport model!!! Just a dressed base model!!!! I prefer the higher end trim levels Honda offers!!!! 🤷♂️ just me probably
Nope! I feel the same way! They really did come up short on the sport model. Lack luster engine and no power seats was a major setback. It’s really Touring or nothing
totally agree i was going for the sport model but i like bells and whistles so for me i would go for the 1.5 T touring model even though its $29,000. only live once..ho hum
I really do love this....Been a Honda owner for over 10 yrs.Gave up on North American vehicles since 2009....Took a few weeks to grow on me after owning 2 Honda's prior and my present one. I will wait 2 to 3 years until Honda gets all the little bugs worked out on this present generation Honda.Will likely get either get Touring or above. Very reliable car and company!!
@@juddloader4756 I don't think Honda will have too many bugs to work out. The infotainment has been around for 3 years thanks to the 10th gen Accord and Honda has already worked out the bugs throughout the 3 years of 10th gen Accord. As for powertrain, Honda has already worked out the bugs because the 11th gen Civic has the same powertrain as 10th gen.
Great redesign with a fantastic new interior. Unfortunately dealers want MSRP or more if you try to buy one. Also they cut corners with no rear armrest, no map pockets behind rear seats, no power seat for driver, no rear connections for power or USB, and no engine temp gauge on the instrument cluster.
Of course it’s not going to have much power, it’s a fucking civic. If you want fast then go buy a CTS-V but don’t bitch because it’s $100,000. You wanna play, you gotta pay!!
My complaint: back up camera needs better resolution, also it would be better if it is located in the center. 2-person memory seats needs to be on Touring Trim.
Ehh, the front and back bumper area is kind of grandma-ish. The review is good. I re-watched trying to find size and type of brakes... Didn't find any info on it.
Why have paddle shifters on a CVT since there are no input required from the driver to change te continuous ratio that is done automatically? For that matter, why have a tachometer on a CVT? Anyway if I were to buy a Civic I would wait for the hatchback whenever is available because of its superior cargo volume, and more attractive looks than the sedan, in my opinion, especially from the rear.
There is nothing "fake" about paddle shifers on a CVT. Sure, you aren't cycling through gears, but you are still moving through various positions within the engines RPM range, and are able to hold the engine at your desired RPM using the paddles, which is how a CVT works in the first place. If you are cruising along, you can use the left paddle to raise the RPMs to either engine-break or put yourself inside the torque band. What is fake about that? It's only fake if you tell yourself that you are "shifting gears." You aren't. You're just moving to a different location along the continous RPM range, but you still have direct control over your engine's RPM. Not to mention, the only reason paddle shifters exist on a daily economy car, whether you have a 6 speed or a CVT, is for fun. And they are fun to have on the 2022 Civic. That said, I still prefer a regular transmission for both performance and reliability, but the idea that paddles are "fake" on a CVT is void.
Unfortunately yes it is slower. I have the 2022 Sport, and when I dropped it off at the dealership to have my accessories installed, they gave me a 2021 Base loaner for the day, and that thing was zippier by a considerable amount.
Don't buy these cars on till they take off their $5,000 greed fee. Let these dealers sit on these cars the longer they sit on their lot the more tax they have to pay so let them keep them wake up people
It's like they took the most boring design elements from the 80's, 90's, and 00's, and thought it would evoke a cool retro look. The interior couldn't save it either, because that's ugly too.
Ok, I know your comment is from a year ago, but I think you’re misunderstanding what Honda is trying to do here. I bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring in January 2023 and I absolutely love this design! Honda is going back to their design roots, going much more conservative. You say boring, I say classic. It seems Honda is moving away from the “racer boy” look to a much more conservative look. With their semi-luxury interior and additional features, they’re trying to appeal more to women in their 30’s-50’s with money to spend. (Women make the majority of household buying decisions in the U.S., so appealing to women is in Honda’s best interest.) I’m a woman in my mid-40’s and absolutely love the understated new exterior and new semi-luxury interior. It also has a sort of chic Euro vibe to it. A lot of us DON’T want to stand out in the road with the exterior design. The more conservative exterior also is a more timeless look and will help resale value later. The “racer boy” look was a huge turn off. The current 11 gen Civic is designed to appeal to a wider audience, women in particular. Young men looking for performance and/or a “cool racer boy” look can look at the Si or Type R.
@@SmartPracticeSuccessits more that they cycle between conservative and experimental between generations. Next generation will like move back to experimental/sporty... Such has been Honda's pattern for a long time. The more luxurious interior is new tho.
Significantly slower than last gen. I think it's a combination of the extra weight and gearing of the cvt. I'm hoping the manual sport touring hatchback will be faster since it won't have the gearing issues of the cvt.

Please try to compare ... like this Civic with Merc-A class ... with 20k difference - and no much difference in specs .

2022 Honda Civic is great compact car.
Sport is now $26,145 MSRP 😳

The SI has never been offered in automatic in its whole life, and it should stay that way. The SI is for spirited drivers.
I agree, sport should be offered with both engines. Kinda like Accord Sport available in both 1.5T and 2.0T.

Why is there an analog speedometer when there is a digital speed next to it? Bizarre with the split digital/analog gauge cluster,do one or the other.
Was waiting for this one

cant wait to buy the Si version
Deciding between this or a Mazda 3 or a Subaru Legacy
Wow. Might go back to civic
Looking forward to the hatch, in Boost Blue ? , I'm sold
Would be awesome if they put the accord engine in here and make it awd...
Great review! Please add the overall length to your reviews. Thanks.
FYI. 184" length, 55.7" height
Maybe you did not notice there is no Temperature Gauge!
hi, is this lunar silver?
Yes it is, nice color right?
Hey Gold Pony! Between the ‘22 Civic 2.0 NA and the Kona’s 2.0 NA engines, which would you rather have when you need to quickly merge on the highway?

Oh then 2000s Sonata sud be beautiful too in ur eyes considering front looks the same.
Fastbook looks much much better.
Sport touring is only 17 inch rims not 18 the sport is the only one with 18
Nope, sport trim and sport touring trim comes with 18 inch wheels. Lx and Ex comes with 17 inch
I wish I could see an honest review of the EV's from your side......
hybrid?
Great review, nice looking car. Not a big fan of CVT transmissions.
I agree.. that CVT is why I'm leaning towards a Mazda or Kia for my commuter
@@timw2083 I purchased a 3 turbo though pricey, the 6 speed auto shifts smoothly with the turbo.
@@timw2083 New Kia Forte has CVT now
Man the Honda Civic model 2016-2020 interior still looks better than the 2022, though the interior looks more classy in the 2022
Man, this is slooooow. What do you rec for a zippy daily driver - but can double as a kid hauler when it's time for soccer?
Should look at the EX civic then. It’s got the 1.5T with 180hp
Anyone has a used 2016 civic you want to sell to me in Ghana ? I have been saving but still haven’t been able to buy one yet.
Could you possibly do a video comparing the 2022 Kia k5 and the 2022 Honda Civic?
just to let you know , civic is compact sedan , and the Kia K5 is a midsized i think, The civics competition is the Kia Forte

Yea, another silly addition is having an analog speedometer next to the digital speed in the top middle.

Slow as molasses. Good review though, GP!
It looks more American old design more Japanese
I think Honda missed the mark with this one. The edginess of the previous was part of the appeal. The Civic is in Accord territory now.
Don't buy these cars on till they take off their $5,000 greed fee. Let these dealers sit on these cars the longer they sit on their lot the more tax they have to pay so let them keep them wake up people
🤜🤛👊👏👌🙏
Behind one today. It looked so to boring.
Oh no, black wheels...
Is that bad?
Looks really boring, great to go get groceries and pick up the kids and that's about it.
if I wanna get an Accord I'll buy one, not a civic.
Great features on all trims, but the exterior side view is damn 'Ugly' IMO, my sister bought the LX trim, and I almost puked when I saw it!!!
I want this trim this color with the HPD package
You get it?
Show muito top 👌👌👌👌

Really nice remake! Looks more bmw in a good way
Can you review 2021 BMW X6
I'll probably wait for a 2022 model at this point but yes I'll definitely try! 😁
2.0 is NOT direct injected. MPFI all day long.
Is that good or bad?
Good, no carbon build up on the valves.
i dunno why ppl say new design...just recycled accord stylings from 2018
Looks best it ever has. Seat material could be nicer. But they have to keep the car affordable.
very good car. Only issue is the cabin noise level. its still too high for civic.
