It’s unfortunate the 6 speed only comes in four colors. I want the LX trim because it doesn’t have push start/smart entry system. Less stuff to tear up years down the road.
i love this car, got it in march, after 2 months of driving it, i am so in love with it...(: especially i love dressing it up with chrome and carbon fiber (:
I just leased the lx and let me tell you I love the car had a 2001 honda accord this is a HUGE upgrade I agree with the downside of the blind spot they shoulda added it but still a solid car you also forgot to talk about sports mode it has some kick for a honda handles really well and is so smooth the lane assist is great too I could go on forever about this car I love my baby lol
Got the ex version used. Few days ago. Loving it so much. Drives nice. The road noise is louder than my grand marquis. But it’s a white noise I actually like. It’s not obnoxiously loud. And I’m getting better fuel mileage then advertised so far
I was lucky to buy a 2017 LX in 2020 with 17k miles. I'm glad all that safety stuff wasn't standard. My windshield has been hit and replaced one time and amended again. Had it come with all those features i would've paid a pretty penny. Also. Since I don't have the collision sensing i was able to install aftermarket fog lights with no problem.
Thats nice! Its good that you review Civic 2.0L option. Most of car reviews are 1.5L turbo! Not everyone likes the high end model. Is there any manual transmission for 2.0 engine?
Yes the LX has a manual. The 2.0 is a much more proven engine as its the same basic K20 engine that they have used forever now and can be made very powerful.
Looking at getting a civic as my commuter car for work. Dont need anything special when I'm only drive 2 to 3 miles up the road one way. Thanks for a very detailed review Subscribed!
What you didn’t cover is, I was able to put the windows down with the key fob..don’t ask me how it happened..that’s what I would like you to tell me...how did I do it..
Happened to me twice too, all 4 windows roll down 1/4. I think I must have press and hold some keys on the fob. Manual did not mention any of this feature. It has good and bad, what if you accidentally did it when you park your car and the rain came, your car could be all wet....
I love what you said about the flat tire OPTION 😮😅. You get a flat Honda comes out and changes the tire then when you thought you were going home. Honda tows you to Honda Dealership?? Stupid !! Just another excuse to pull more money out of your pocket with a possible stupid find and an additional charge. 🤣🤣Yeah right. I will change my own tire and stay clear of the expensive Honda dealership. Use AAA towing and my mechanic if need be. There are ALWAYS STRINGS ATTACHED to a new car owner. Even phony orange cards to simulate a recall which aren't even legit just to get one back into the dealership. Freaking never ends
The best wheels covers are on older fusion like 2010 model.. the steel wheels were made like cover shape so when it is on you can't tell they are wheel covers
I'm confused, I just bought a Honda Civic LX and it has 40/60 split and apple car play.. Are these standard or were they upgrades? Thanks for the video.
Got my coupe in silver I’m not a fan of direct injection it can cause carbon buildup in the long run. I managed to get very nice alloy wheels instead of plastic wheel covers
@@gearedtowardsautomotive - No, far as I know it was the LX to get the automatic trans. Maybe they recently did an update or refresh. Everything looks the same except the infotainment system.
I hope Honda keeps the lane watch camera in the mirrors. I wish Honda would fix road noise. Their hubcap models are quieter then the larger wheel models. Great review!
Are CVTs as prone to breaking as some people say they are? And if so is there a car under 21000 that is similar to the civic or elantra without a CVT or IVT?
What breaks in Nissan and other brands CVT's is the belt that attaches to the two pulleys in the transmission. It dries out and wears over time. Honda has engineered their belt out of Stainless Steel to avoid the same issues. They have been using it in their cars for 9 years and in the last 2 years we haven't had a single transmission job in our Honda dealership so something is working with their design.
Test drove it. ended up buying a GMC Terrain for just a bit more, AWD, best infotainment center you can find, turbo, 5 USB ports, great looking, etc. Just hope it lasts, I didn't go with Honda because they have went down hill in the last 3 years or so.
Soooo Im in search for a vehicle.,, as you may know with the chip shortage I find myself watching this video because I seen a 2019 LX CIVIC FOR 19.900 with 19.7k miles.... is that an overwhelming amount of market adjustment ? It’s all a mess right now
I have a 2017 LX, added the Honda sensing package to it. I really like the chrome and the black front. Canadian models does have the touch screen. Love the car
For the Canadian Honda website it says the 2019 Honda Civic LX has Apple Car play and Android Auto. Can you confirm that it does? Your model doesn't seem to have it but maybe that's an American car thing?
The Canadian LX has the full digital dashboard information screen, the 7 inch Head unit with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, heated front seats, and heated mirrors as well as a split rear seat with a fold down arm rest. The US LX has none of these.
Well when you see how Trump treats his foreign trade friends you can see why Japan won’t give the US the good stuff. Why would you want to be nice to someone that’s a bully back to you?
Your video said removing the chrome in front was sportier, and adding the chrome to the back was sportier. I envy your extreme positiveness. I think it is optimistic to call this a refresh. I have the 18, same color, I wouldn't be able to tell the difference. While I wish I had the Honda Sensing, my car was 17.8k, I wouldn't have wanted to pay 3k for it, my goal was to buy a car that is a good value. I paid cash and didn't need gap insurance and didn't get any extended maintenance or seat cleaning insurance or plastic covers for the front, etc. The Civic feels like it is more much expensive than one of the cheapest cars in the US.
@@tacocruiser4238 havent really gone on long drives yet but driving it so far no it doesnt and I do hardwood floors for a living. it's very smooth barely feel bumps in the road and stuff I love that car
Nice review, but that center console is a mess! That thin black mesh cover is sooo cheap and becomes filthy after a year or so. VERY poor material choice by Honda!
Honda Sensing is a pain in the ass. Bad implementation... the automatic braking system is tied to the cruise control and turn off completely as soon as you brake. Very ridiculous!!!
It depends on the color but I prefer the chrome front bumper of the previous model years. I wouldn't exactly call "piano black" "sporty". I got a blue 2018 civic ex and it looks like I pulled the trigger at the right time for that color at least. The chrome really makes the blue pop. I am a little jealous of the volume knob though.
Yeah then your infotainment (sort of) center in this thing goes and you have to whistle or hum on the way to work. Cars should still have them in case. Not everyone is into all the TECH in cars, myself included. I use a USB flash drive but still I use CD's as well.
Damn all those new civics and accords are ugly as shit. Both exterior and interior look hidious. All this useless technology in new cars now which most or it you won't even use but still gotta pay for it and yet they don't bother including cd player which costs nothing now a days.. My 08 Civic looks 100 times better, got cd/dvd/Bluetooth Panasonic radio...
I agree with you on the part about technology you don't even use. Frustrating that most cars include a bunch of useless shit, that most people don't need or really want, but it pumps the price up.
Always good to get a lower end review. LX is what I would buy.
ayee got this exact car: 2019 Honda Civic LX CVT: 25,000 miles still going strong no issues so far
its a honda civc, youll still be fine at 100000000 miles
Be mindful about transmission especially if it’s automatic. If it’s manual you should be fine
I just recently bought a 2019 Honda Civic Sedan LX and I love it. It's a huge upgrade. Very pleased 👍
Love my 2019 Honda Civic Lx had my car for 7 months and only 5100 miles, since I own 2 other Honda’s. My 2006 Civic Ex runs awesome with 256,000 miles
I just got 1 in black ! !
It blends very nicely with the front grill even when the driver seat isn't automated is still good.
Im getting mine in black in a couple of weeks too! How has the car been treating you?

It also has sports mode that has a little more kick to it great car I love it

The hatchback is the only thing that makes it look any different than the 17 16 15---12 civic
Agreed if it had the back end of an elantra I would be sold. But I may go with the elantra just because of that feminine bacl end on the civic.
Does it have HD radio?
Doesn’t the lx come with a 7” touch screen? Thats what it says on the specs
