Spare tire in 2021. This is WHY I love this brand :) And the funnel was also WOW. Never know when need. Maybe you don`t always have around a 0.5L bottle of Coke or something to cut it and make a funnel. Or a swiss knife with you. One thing bothers me: Where is the manual 6-speed transmission? Or I guess this is the USA.
Although the previous 10th gen was a little more "aggressive" and sporty, this is a good departure towards a more upscale design that will age well along side a young adult as their first car.
@@narutobroken nope, the average kid with average middle class families arent getting this as first cars. The wealthy ones with wealthy dads otoh are definitely getting a more upscale luxury sports cars like bmws or AMGs, they are not getting Honda Civics lol. the only ones getting these are 30s-40s middle income earners with a bit more to spend and has a family.
9:29 I can't stand when people merge like that, it's so dangerous and infuriating. It's the one place where you're actively encouraged to accelerate really fast, how can you not!
@@malekhalim1873 so what, you slow down on ramps now? I don't get your point. Obviously you don't just blindly accelerate and try to merge without looking, the goal is to match the highway speed, while simultaneously gauging the traffic flow to your left and trying to find a suitable gap. You may have to make some minor adjustments to fit into a gap, but the important thing is that the speed difference between everyone is minimal
@@Fordguy1997 It was a specific situation. Don't wanna get into it. But I am more cautious merging onto highways now. Also, all ramps are different you can't always gauge traffic flow.
I honestly believe these new, entry level cars under $35,000 are nicer inside then some $60,000 dollar luxury cars from a few years ago. Best example of this is Mazda, especially the Mazda 3. For the price, you cannot beat the quality of the interior and the materials inside. Once I started reviewing more and more of them I realized just how nice they have become. Great video as always!
probably right but the layout of the capless fuel filler looks even easier to use with a gas can than a normal one and I've never seen a funnel come in other cars
Love the styling of this generation. The 10th gen has that Euro feel, but still aggressive and Japanese. This 11th gen elevated that Euro/luxury vibe. Love the interior with the black trim. Also, so you do have those who merge slowly on the freeway. I agree, it is annoying. Slow isn’t always the safest, people!
euro feel? in europe nobody likes (I bought one hatchback version with many customizations), when you drive a civic here, people look at you asking what kind of car is that. here there are more ferraris than civics ))))))
As a former Hyundai owner, they did feel premium as first. However, gearbox issue and mechanical problems were quickly erased that feeling from my mind.
I had a used 2015 Hyundai Elantra SE it was a nice sporty car but i kept having small warranty issues with it. Nothing serious but i traded it in for a new 2019 Corrola. I thought about maybe switching back because Hyundai and Kia have come a long way but i think Toyota and Honda are still unmatched in quality. What do you think? Any issues with your Hyundai.
As a current Hyundai owner. They run fairly well even through all the recalls (grrr). After 200k on the transmission (80k on the motor) no real problems (knock on faux chrome). The "quality feel" does fade pretty rapidly over time though. The 'leather seats' in mine started to come off almost immediately with the lightest cleaning. I'll never think of the brand as anything other than a lease only vehicle.
@@tjefferies8563 I might switch back to Hyundai in the future but Toyota makes really nice vehicles i might go with a used Sonata or Camry within the next three year's
Nice video. Just got my first brand new car (it had 4 miles when I drove it off the dealer 😎) And am feeling proud I went for this honda civic. Amazing machine for a normal hard working person.
I like this hot red with black rims, not too bad. I usually don't like this red but the car and the wheels all go together. This looks like a good daily sedan for the price, it doesn't get any better. Runs smooth, simple and has everything you need.
Yes Tedward made it look epic. Also the car was so tastefully optioned, particularly the colors. Also Tedward is so lean he made it look bigger. Made me want to buy a civic!
Just got this in a Sonic Gray and it also came with a stripe down the sides. I can’t stop looking at it and it’s so buttery smooth. A perfect car for me.
9:24 I swear, people who drive newer Toyota RAV4s have to consistently be some of the worst drivers I've seen around lately. Timid, weak drivers are one of the biggest dangers on the road today. - If you can't trust yourself to drive, get off the road.
Love this video, started to get into pov vids and car vids myself but still trying to dial in the setup, this looks insane keep the content coming buddy and ive now subscribed you.
6:09 2022 civic sport owner here. If you put the drive mode in sport, the paddle shifters hold the selected gear and rev as high as 6500 rpm. In normal mode, the transmission automatically chooses the preferred gear ratio. It’s not really a gimmick
I just bought a Honda Civic sport 2022 model for my son and I was blown away by the quality and features that this car has on it. I love the black star spoke rims on it.
The increased road noise is expected from a Sport trim model vehicle with wider tires, but it was noted by another reviewer that the Touring, and I believe probably the EX has increased sound deadening insulation materials as part of the amenities and added options. That's not an issue for me, as I would play the stereo anyway. And yes, those funnels are for the gas tank as mentioned in other comments. And the Speedometer is a real analog gauge, the Tachometer and information center on the left is a digital display This is a lower version of the 4 trims, but not quite the bare bones entry level of the LX, which is still not too shabby, especially over the previous generation. At the same price for the LX and Sport as the previous generation model, it's a good concession, albeit, this newer sport trim loses the fog lights, previously not LED, the leatherette door and center console armrests, and the 60/40 split folding rear seat. Pretty much everything is a carryover from the previous Sport version except for the upgrades and refinements, styling and design, etc. The Sport is a definite upgrade from the LX that is well worth the price, especially if you are more Sport enthusiast oriented, but even nicer in general for the masses with what you get for the upgrade from LX. You get all the other basic Sport handling and appearance gear from the top level Touring trim, with an optional HPD Honda Performance Edition exterior appearance package with a body kit, rear deck lid spoier and blacked out emblem trim, but it looks fine as is. You just don't get the leather, power adjust seats, sunroof, outside mirror turn signal lights and added perks like the fancier instrument panel, larger entertainment system display, the wireless phone charging/Apple Carplay & Android Auto, and only one USB port, dual zone A/C, and premium Bose Stereo that is nice, and a bummer not to have, but for $5K less. I could live with that, unless I could afford to get the Touring trim, or the Sport Touring Hatchback, or even the Sport Hatchback for a little more if it has the same equipment, with the option of a 6 speed manual. As far as the Bose system, it is acoustically designed and optimized for this car, but you could always upgrade the Sport system with a DSP processor, amplifiers, speakers, subwoofer to the extent you desire and can afford. I would probably go with Rockford Fosgate, JBL Club, or Sony Mobile ES. And yes, the two upper trim levels have the upper level 1.5L turbo engine with 20 more horsepower. But, the N/A 2.0L engine is ultimately more reliable over time, especially if you tend to push your car's performance. So to me, the larger displacement N/A is preferable, unless I could spring for the Touring. The power is adequate, and is just as fast as my 1984 Buick Grand National I had for 0-60 , with a 3.8L V6 turbo, or my 2000 Chevy Impala LS with the same size N/A engine. But the Civic is about just as roomy inside, with good trunk space in a more compact vehicle, which I now prefer. What would be really nice is if the Si could have an optional detuned version of the 2.0L Turbo Type R engine from the Accord Sport and Touring trims. That would make it really special for enthusiast drivers, and it is more affordable, comfortable and practical as a daily driver than the Type R, which is mostly for die hard enthusiasts/collectors that can afford it, modify and race it. Si buyers would not have to modify their cars much for the extra power over the 1.5L turbo from the previous version. The Civic Sport is the sweet spot best buy all around, with the superior reliability, longevity and durability and quality control over the other brands, along with Toyota, but had better handling dynamics and steering feel and design refinements over the Corolla SE/XSE. I would get this, and plan to, as I mentioned, unless I could get the Touring, or Sport/Sport Touring Hatchback. It is the same price as the 2021 HR-V Sport which is nice, and has even much more practical cargo utility, but not the new refinements, and 20 less horsepower. The previous Civic Sport Sedan is still nice, but the updates, and more mature and refined styling is great.
I don’t love the styling of the sedan, but I’m looking forward to the SI and Type R, should be fun cars. This also makes me really excited for the new Accord, since the Civic looks so luxurious now imagine how much more luxurious the Accord will have to be.
Really nice. And yeah the entry level asian cars have really come up to german premium fit and finish, and especially ride refinement these last years. I drive a ton of european premium rentals and just drove the new Corolla, like any contemporary BMW/Audi in ride quality.
( 10:11 ) ( 12:29 ) Road noise: the Touring model got extra sound insulation that was left out of the Sport trim. Less expensive, less weight. 18" wheels don't help, either. It would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of an LX (16" wheels), Sport, and Touring to see if the differences are noticeable.
Man' ive had this car for about 7 months now and I've been loving it and i definitely dont regret getting it as a first car. Down the line I'm gonna be trading it in for an Si for my first manual car once i get good at driving one lol. I've come back to this video multiple times before and after i got my car and it's still so entertaining to watch. 👌
Great review!! I REALLY wanted the sport due to it being cheaper and more aggressive looking (With the black trim and wheels) but unfortunately there were no sports anywhere I went. Ended up getting the touring which is nice but the extra gadgets and buttons are unnecessary for a simple guy like me. Overall, I love it! Got it when it only had 29 miles on it. Still feels brand new every day.
First time watching a review. But I absolutely love it. Loved your review! you are very funny and have a good sense of humor. This is how reviews should be. thank you I just ordered my 2022 Honda civic sport in white color two days ago. it should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. Very excited.
Ted we have a problem, I’m addicted to your videos and rehab centers will not accept it as an addiction! No but seriously I LOVE your videos especially with headphones in!!
As a 10th gen owner with the same powertrain, I agree it's incredibly refined and that the engine (and CVT) essentially disappear into the background. The mechanicals do their job so well that there is no drama or excitement. With the 10th Gen, it was styling alone that made the car interesting. Now that it looks like everything else I worry that the whole car is just going to be boring.
I have this car, same color and everything. Other than not having anywhere to put my sunglasses and the stop-start having to be turned off every time you start your car, like you can’t preset that, all in all, great car, and really fun drive.
The eco mode controls 4 things. Rpm is one and the other major one is that it cuts the air compressor to half use. Aside. A sport comes with leather wrapped wheel and shifter. The funnel is to put gas in the car when using a gas can
Update : I have ordered one of these bad boys from the factory in the pretty new blue. Gonna trade the Type R for it. Note to all of you young bucks who want a sports car as you're daily. Be sure you have a well paying job and a proper garage to keep her in. I love my Type R but as a daily she's become a source for more stress than joy. I'll miss her but a new, reliable Civic Sport that will be 100% in my name is the way to go. Growing up is about making the responsible choices. Maybe I'll have a Type R again one day but for now the sport sedan just seems like the best move.
That's a very impressive car . As for road noise I think it's partially the tires . My Kia Niro came with 18 inch tires and while they were good tires I still saw a smoother quieter ride when I switched to 16 inch tires . My gas mileage also increased around 7% . A lot of people want big wheels and tires . I'd rather have a smoother quieter ride .
got a civic sport from 2013 and still happy with it low on miles and the leather is perfect, it smells like brand new and I did not need to spend all my savings to get it even with that insanely low miles and it was a full spec model, and since I like MC more than cars it just was a perfect option for me, and for me right now Honda makes good cars no problems with it ever just normal maintenance and service and I might get one like this in the future, but I think they look more like standard now and not so playful and a minor fact I bought a brand new Samsung 65 tv and my little Honda hatchback did bring it home in one piece still on the box and that made me love the car for real :D
The 11th generation exterior / interior looks way better than the 10th gen. The look has a grown up look. It has a Euro luxury vibe look to it and will have more mass appeal. The 10th gen exterior has a very polarizing look. You either hate or love it when you first set your eyes on it. I hated the look of the 10th gen at first, then over the years I kinda warmed up to it. When I first look at the 11th gen, I absolutely loved the look of it.
For the money 💰, the Civic Sport is one of the best values on the market. The interior looks really good and has an upscale appearance. The fit and finish looks great 👍! It may not be the most stylish but still has a nice look with sport wheels and the orange color. I have a 21 Civic Sport Hatchback that I am leasing now and there's a very good chance that I will be buying another Civic Sport Sedan or Hatchback in late 2023 to 2024. The next one I purchase will be a finance for the long haul as I can see getting great longevity with just basic maintenance. Well done by Honda!!
The super conservative design is a big bummer but the interior design and quality and features for the money are a big step up. 👍🏻 It is pretty crazy how much you get with a "base" model in this day and age.
We have a 19' Odyssey Touring as a company vehicle and it's really nice. I've always thought the Civics always felt a bit better built then others in its class.
THANK YOU for not speeding up to cut that guy off at 9:08. Now, can you please come to NJ to demonstrate that to everyone here, "how to merge safely and without being a d-bag" Thank you

The Sport is a definite upgrade from the LX that is well worth the price, especially if you are more Sport enthusiast oriented, but even nicer in general for the masses with what you get for the upgrade from LX.
You get all the other basic Sport handling and appearance gear from the top level Touring trim, with an optional HPD Honda Performance Edition exterior appearance package with a body kit, rear deck lid spoier and blacked out emblem trim, but it looks fine as is.
You just don't get the leather, power adjust seats, sunroof, outside mirror turn signal lights and added perks like the fancier instrument panel, larger entertainment system display, the wireless phone charging/Apple Carplay & Android Auto, and only one USB port, dual zone A/C, and premium Bose Stereo that is nice, and a bummer not to have, but for $5K less. I could live with that, unless I could afford to get the Touring trim, or the Sport Touring Hatchback, or even the Sport Hatchback for a little more if it has the same equipment, with the option of a 6 speed manual.

Can't wait to see the type R of this year
I love the way this Civic model looks, but I wish they sold it with the 6-speed manual or even just a regular automatic torque converter 🥺
Yeah they just left the manual for the Hatch, Si, and Type R for this one.
@@LJImutan Cool. If people want a stick they gotta get the performance model
I never thought I'd see the day when I desire torque converters but putting your foot down in a CVT is automotive punishment.
@@Syncopia Modern CVTs work pretty well these days and they are smoother than other automatic transmissions and of course manual transmissions.
( 10:11 ) ( 12:29 ) Road noise: the Touring model got extra sound insulation that was left out of the Sport trim. Less expensive, less weight. 18" wheels don't help, either. It would be nice to see a side-by-side comparison of an LX (16" wheels), Sport, and Touring to see if the differences are noticeable.
Spot on.
this car looks so much better than the last 10 years of civics
Man' ive had this car for about 7 months now and I've been loving it and i definitely dont regret getting it as a first car. Down the line I'm gonna be trading it in for an Si for my first manual car once i get good at driving one lol. I've come back to this video multiple times before and after i got my car and it's still so entertaining to watch. 👌
I can watch this all day
Great review!! I REALLY wanted the sport due to it being cheaper and more aggressive looking (With the black trim and wheels) but unfortunately there were no sports anywhere I went. Ended up getting the touring which is nice but the extra gadgets and buttons are unnecessary for a simple guy like me. Overall, I love it! Got it when it only had 29 miles on it. Still feels brand new every day.
The merging onto the highway felt like peering into my soul
First time watching a review. But I absolutely love it. Loved your review! you are very funny and have a good sense of humor. This is how reviews should be. thank you
I just ordered my 2022 Honda civic sport in white color two days ago. it should be here in 2 to 3 weeks. Very excited.
Thank you!
Just picked up the 23 sport. So nice to drive for its price!
Just saw one of these on the road today for the first time. Red also. Looks exactly like all the pictures-clean, inoffensive, just a bit handsome.
First time watching you and I can already tell we have a lot of pet peeves in common. Subscribed!
Ted we have a problem, I’m addicted to your videos and rehab centers will not accept it as an addiction! No but seriously I LOVE your videos especially with headphones in!!
😆
The visibility is heaven like
curious to see the six speed in the hatch
Love it, going to buy it tomorrow
How is it going for you?
@@galibrahman5589 amazing. Nothing like driving a honda. I dont like the auto turn off thou
As a 10th gen owner with the same powertrain, I agree it's incredibly refined and that the engine (and CVT) essentially disappear into the background. The mechanicals do their job so well that there is no drama or excitement. With the 10th Gen, it was styling alone that made the car interesting. Now that it looks like everything else I worry that the whole car is just going to be boring.

I have this car, same color and everything. Other than not having anywhere to put my sunglasses and the stop-start having to be turned off every time you start your car, like you can’t preset that, all in all, great car, and really fun drive.
the new Civic design certainly looks better than the previous one
2019 looks so much better bro
First time seeing your car reviews lol you’re a good reviewer and pretty funny 😂 definitely will subscribe for more. Keep it up
Wonderful job Honda I genuinely want this car and that's coming from a GM guy !
That’s where I got my hatch :)
Styling is a home run. Nothing goofy. Strong, straight lines. The interior is what VW should copy for the Golf Mk IX.
THANK YOU FOR THIS POV
Man, you really do meet the nicest people on a Honda. They were right after all.
love this guy and his wit
The eco mode controls 4 things. Rpm is one and the other major one is that it cuts the air compressor to half use.
Aside. A sport comes with leather wrapped wheel and shifter.
The funnel is to put gas in the car when using a gas can
I'm excited to see the new Type R. I own a 2018 and love how sharp and edgy it is.
Update : I have ordered one of these bad boys from the factory in the pretty new blue. Gonna trade the Type R for it. Note to all of you young bucks who want a sports car as you're daily. Be sure you have a well paying job and a proper garage to keep her in. I love my Type R but as a daily she's become a source for more stress than joy. I'll miss her but a new, reliable Civic Sport that will be 100% in my name is the way to go. Growing up is about making the responsible choices. Maybe I'll have a Type R again one day but for now the sport sedan just seems like the best move.
That's a very impressive car . As for road noise I think it's partially the tires . My Kia Niro came with 18 inch tires and while they were good tires I still saw a smoother quieter ride when I switched to 16 inch tires . My gas mileage also increased around 7% . A lot of people want big wheels and tires . I'd rather have a smoother quieter ride .

Can’t wait for my future son to get one of these for 2k and slap a phat turbo on it
I had a 10th Gen Civic Sport with the 2 liter. I wish it had more power, but it was still a fun car to drive.
Perfect first car, I might buy this for my first car!
For $24k I'd really enjoy this car. Looks great and that powertrain is gonna be super reliable. Also that pupper at the end was adorable!
Honestly might try to get it for a first car
Really looking forward to seeing you review the Civic Si and Sport Touring Manual Hatch when they become available.
Very excited for both!

got a civic sport from 2013 and still happy with it low on miles and the leather is perfect, it smells like brand new and I did not need to spend all my savings to get it even with that insanely low miles and it was a full spec model, and since I like MC more than cars it just was a perfect option for me, and for me right now Honda makes good cars no problems with it ever just normal maintenance and service and I might get one like this in the future, but I think they look more like standard now and not so playful and a minor fact I bought a brand new Samsung 65 tv and my little Honda hatchback did bring it home in one piece still on the box and that made me love the car for real :D
Great review, great personality
Awesome vid man! 🔥
This looks like it would be good to own long-term over the 1.5 turbo.
this guy just talks to much but i love his video of test driving
The 11th generation exterior / interior looks way better than the 10th gen. The look has a grown up look. It has a Euro luxury vibe look to it and will have more mass appeal. The 10th gen exterior has a very polarizing look. You either hate or love it when you first set your eyes on it. I hated the look of the 10th gen at first, then over the years I kinda warmed up to it. When I first look at the 11th gen, I absolutely loved the look of it.
For the money 💰, the Civic Sport is one of the best values on the market. The interior looks really good and has an upscale appearance. The fit and finish looks great 👍! It may not be the most stylish but still has a nice look with sport wheels and the orange color. I have a 21 Civic Sport Hatchback that I am leasing now and there's a very good chance that I will be buying another Civic Sport Sedan or Hatchback in late 2023 to 2024. The next one I purchase will be a finance for the long haul as I can see getting great longevity with just basic maintenance. Well done by Honda!!
Red and black glossy. Woow.
But chaos inside the hood.
The super conservative design is a big bummer but the interior design and quality and features for the money are a big step up. 👍🏻 It is pretty crazy how much you get with a "base" model in this day and age.
The external design is so outdated
I appreciate the analog button and switches
Thanks for honest reviews
Great Daily driver for years to come!
Generation 9 had the best interior then any other civic
We have a 19' Odyssey Touring as a company vehicle and it's really nice. I've always thought the Civics always felt a bit better built then others in its class.
Ive got a 9th gen shit box for my daily. Been wanting to replace it with a new civic. I’d definitely get the manual hatch.

THANK YOU for not speeding up to cut that guy off at 9:08. Now, can you please come to NJ to demonstrate that to everyone here, "how to merge safely and without being a d-bag" Thank you
i honestly hate driving in nj😭😭
I preferred the one before it, and I didn’t even know the one before it existed. Though, I do like how they are going back to their “small car” roots.
