Honda removed the storage pocket behind the driver seat because no one ever uses it. They did a study once, and discovered that 99% of people don't use the pockets behind the driver seat. However, drivers will often store sunshade in the back pocket of the passenger seat, that's why they decided to leave the passenger seat pocket only.
As a big man who just purchased one of these after the review, thank you.. been driving a 2014 EX Sedan for a while now.. started with an 01 LX Sedan. Civic for ever
This was the best review I've seen of this car! I'm leaning toward this 2/3 year older model & highest trim level for my next car & your review was extremely thorough! I didn't even know about the remote starting & other features available in the Honda Link app! I had a 2017 Honda Civic & of course those features weren't available, but I didn't even think about then being available in the newer models! Awesome review again!
Thank you for making one of the more detailed reviews of the Civic hatchback that also compares to other cars on the market. I would love to get a Touring with the manual for a fun, practical daily.
I just bought my hatchback yesterday. I love it. At $30k I’m getting all the premium features that would cost me $35k+ in the accord or HRV models. And I can fit a road bike in back with the seats down.
@@vekarros841 not OP but I just bought a Sport Touring. APR was 2.8% through Honda Financial Services and I pay $415 a month. Traded in a ‘19 Civic Si.
@@digitors Rowing through gears on a wide open two lane back road and hitting that perfect rev match downshift then gunning it around a corner. That’s fun! But other than that? Nothing. The touring rides better, sound system is better, screen is better, storage space and practicality is better, headroom better, seats better, quieter…just overall it’s a better car. I could have gotten a manual if I really wanted but I just wanted an auto this time around and so far I don’t miss it 99.9% of the time! And the CVT is fine, I really don’t even think about it which is a compliment.
I have three dealerships around one has the SI, the other has the touring CVT and the other has the touring manual. Si seems great for racing, I can’t lol. I really like Touring features- heated seats, remote start etc. I’m driving a Manual 2018 Accord Sport. CVT would be fine for sitting in traffic
Civic Touring(both sedan and hatch) outshines it’s Corolla top trim counterpart: Bose speakers, wireless charging, more HP, legroom, trunk space…Honda really did a phenomenal job with the redesign
Just bought one today, a '22 in sonic grey pearl. It's my first time ever buying and financing a car. Upgraded from a 2004 chevy venture lol. I'm so happy, it might be the perfect car..for me at least.
This is the exact car I'm planning on getting. Same color and everything. Hopefully I'll be able to find one at a reasonable price without too much markup. Great video.
I just got this car in rallye red, tinted windows, spoiler, and blacked out emblems, and contour lines. The only thing i miss from my 2019 ex-l hatch is the passenger side mirror that comes up when the right indicator is on. My favorite feature right now is the woreless charger and android auto! But it's only been 3 days so I'm sure i have more to discover
Thank you Justin!! I was really wanting this car, now I'm really happy I put in my order after seeing your video. I got mine in the beautiful boost blue. Can't wait!!
I had a 21 sport touring and sold it. I just ordered the 22 touring sedan in sonic gray Pearl. I can’t wait to get it. I’m hoping the back seat is wider than the 21.
Yeah it sits really in a safe spot among its competitors. Which is pretty balanced and comfy. Yeah i got my 2022 civic hatchback sport touring with spoiler package. Pretty sleek and sexc.
I’m considering the civic sport touring alongside the civic si, Subaru brz and Toyota gr86 as my year round daily driver to have fun with and even take it up to track days. I like all four but can’t seem to pick one over the others
@@stateniland i always fight them on the dealer markup. Ill usually have them throw on extras if they really want me to buy the car with the dealer markup. Usually its another 2.5k - 5k markup.
Thank you for the great review. I have the same car and it’s an incredible value proposition even over luxury German brands. One correction you will need to make is that this car does not offer heated rear seats in any trim
Justin, did you say this 1.5L tuirbo engine has 880 horsepower the first time you were describing the engine? I believe you don't need to use the funnel to fill gas from an automotive type gas can with the pump style nozzle, just if you need to put gas in sonething else because that all you can find and don't have a gas can.
Thanks for watching! I'm always torn to give my thoughts on audio systems. What people consider acceptable can be such a wide range when it comes to that.
Hello Justin, thank you for your great reviews, please I want to buy a brand new 2022 Civic and I am really struggling between the more powerful Si and the more confortable (and more features) Hatchback Sport Touring, compared to the Si I’m afraid that the hatchback would be not powerful enough, please I’m requesting a little help here, would you sacrifice the amenities for a more powerful car (Si) or the Hatch is powerful enough ?, thank you in advance 🙏
Question for you. Do you know what the time frame is for these being built. I saw your video and loved the look so ordered one but am still waiting 6 months later….
I believe the hatchback has the EX-L trim. But the Sedan has the the EX trim. The mpg factor is a base, but mileage improves slightly as the car is broken in, but also determined by how you drive and what driver mode you use. Also, for lighting for trim levels, that looks like the previous 10th Generation Civic. All trims should have LED lights from what I saw from alk the other videos, but onlybthe Touring Sedan and Sport Touring Hatchback has the LED foglights. The previous generation Sport used to have foglights. The hatchback highlights was darkened compared to the Sedans to have a more sporty appearance.
Hi Justin. Great review. I own this car, I love it. But can you talk more about the paddle shifters? Have you use them ? How and when are they used? When to use the + and - and brake. I’m still afraid to use them specially on the highway.
I acquired the '22 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring yesterday and had the same questions on my previous '21 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring back in March. It's fairly simple and hard to mess up. While learning this feature, keep the car in Normal or Eco; not Sport. Alright so say you're driving and you want to slow down just a bit without applying brakes just tap the - and if you're on the highway and you wanna pass someone you can also - to increase rpms, accelerate and then + to stabilize. In Normal or Eco while using the shifters, the car will revert back to standard D after a period of time without + and - input. I mainly use it in Normal or Eco while I'm traveling in 35-40 mph zones on a slight down slope and don't want to coast past the speed limit, but I also don't want to unnecessarily brake neither. Tapping - once enters D4 (Depending on speed) I coast for a bit, rpms drop then tapping - again shortly after to hit D3 remaining within the bounds of a speed limit. I never really use + unless in Sport mode. Once the paddle shifters are enabled in sport mode, the car acts as a simulated manual; requiring you to use the shifters to change the simulated gears unless you go back to Normal or Eco. In sport while using the + and - the objective is to figure out where you wanna + to reach the next simulated gear. Don't redline, although the computer will prevent any harm from your input in practice. So 3000-3500 rpm +, 3000-3500 rpm +, 3000-3500 rpm + ; S1 ,S2 , S3 respectively Etc.
@@Disxardust You're welcome. However, I don't even use them on this new '22. The better LKAS combined with the more advanced ACC overpowers last gens and renders the paddles useless imo
May I ask how is the turbo lag/jolt on this thing? I'm coming from a Nissan Note which is quite linear. Tried the VW Jetta which really gives me car sickness, so I'm quite worried about turbo charged engines 😅 Thanks.
The Impreza hatchback (although slower) has better leg room, more cargo space with the rear seats down, a better crash rating, and oh yeah far superior in the snow. 🏹🤠👍
For almost 31k it has no rear vents or lumbar support for the driver and no height adjustment for the passenger. Also, it has a lot of road noise especially on the lower trim's
Are you able to use the hondalink app with the 2022 civic? I don't believe it's available for my 2019 civic... Also, does anyone know how to turn the automatic shutoff off permanently?
this is truly one of the best reviews i’ve seen it feels very lax and not boring plus it compares trims and competitors 10/10
Thanks for watching!
I love how this man speaks at x1.25 playback speed without having to adjust the playback speed.
Nice video 👍🏻
Came here for this content. Was going to say this if somebody else hadn't.

Best overview of this vehicle I have seen. Thank you for going over it all so thoroughly.
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
I believe there is an “Easter egg”. It’s in the front arm rest on the bottom of the little removable tray.

Finally, a car review where someone actually lay flat on the cargo area with the rear seats down.
I slowed you down to 0.75 and the review was excellent. Not knocking you, I know that's just your personality. Great job. Thanks.
Absolutely the most comprehensive and time considerate review of this car! Thank you!

Just leased this exact model today. Love it so far. Really GREAT review!
Dude thank you, I've been looking for an in depth look at the car like this.
I had a 21 sport touring and sold it. I just ordered the 22 touring sedan in sonic gray Pearl. I can’t wait to get it. I’m hoping the back seat is wider than the 21.
The EX-L actually does keep the heated front seats and the leather seats
Yes, the "L" in EX-L always standing for 'leather.' I thought I saw that was mentioned as removed, but it is not of course.
Been selling Hondas for nearly 10 years now. Overall you did a very good presentation.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for doing this review. Your comparison to the Mazda 3 was super helpful!
Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
Which is better?
I loved this review! It actually kept me engaged the entire time! I will be getting mine this weekend!
How exciting! I hope you’re enjoying it so far 😍 I’m waiting on mine to come in!😩
Yeah it sits really in a safe spot among its competitors. Which is pretty balanced and comfy. Yeah i got my 2022 civic hatchback sport touring with spoiler package. Pretty sleek and sexc.
Thank you for laying down inside the trunk! Helped me decide to get one
Thanks for watching!
Great review, maybe the best I have seen. Honda should give you sales commissions lol
Here in Canada we get rear heated seats, which is really crucial for the hatsh winters!
U really went in depth with this review, u just earned a new sub.
Thanks for the vid bro, I just bought my 2022 civic hatchback sports touring today haha
Congrats on your new Honda!
Awesome video. Very detailed and extremely helpful. Thanks bro
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video. Do You have a Video Comparing the Touring Hatchback vs the Touring Sedan?
I’m considering the civic sport touring alongside the civic si, Subaru brz and Toyota gr86 as my year round daily driver to have fun with and even take it up to track days. I like all four but can’t seem to pick one over the others
Video uploaded 55 mins ago must be my lucky day
Excellent review! Have the issues with the turbo engine been resolved?
I wish the EX-L trim was still around. Leather is one must-have.
Just got this car today and it looks and feels amazing
How much is the dealer tacking onto the MSRP?
@@stateniland i always fight them on the dealer markup. Ill usually have them throw on extras if they really want me to buy the car with the dealer markup. Usually its another 2.5k - 5k markup.

I have this car in Canada and rear seats are heated.
@@robertconyers6207 Great info, I'm guessing its only available for Canada as I have the Sport Touring Hatch and it has no heated rear seats.
It does offer heated seats in the sport touring
@@jcubed120 Yes, but only in Canada. Same for the heated steering wheel, not available in the US market.

What do you think is the easiest colour to maintain SGP, White or Meteor Grey? Great review btw!
Will you be reviewing the 2.0 Sport? Almost no info on that trim level. Great vid as always man, shout out from Puerto Rico!

You sir are underrated
Very imformative review.. keep up the good work.
I wanted the hatch but in Canada its at least $3000 over the trunk which i think is ridiculous
Love the intro

What’s better in your opinion.
@@FoodTechLife exactly no response :/
Amazing how car manufactures are so cheap over these features that you'd expect to be standard nowadays.
If u want a si hatch, wait for the integra. This will hold a mountain bike inside, front tire off, and driver plus 2 passengers and backpacks
Does it have wireless apple carplay
Great review. What's the color name for this Honda hatchback?
Sonic grey
How do I reset the radio? It will not give me the option to delete any of the paired devices. I have this exact radio system.
can u do the 2023?
The Is the best civic review
I got the HRV touring that came with AWD and I am so glad I did. Much better than the other trim levels. Totally worth it.
What color is this car here?
My real question is does the accord LX beat this in everything except for trunk space?
🤣dude talks fast as fug. It makes the video seem shorter the what it is. But good vid none the less👍.
Are you able to use the hondalink app with the 2022 civic? I don't believe it's available for my 2019 civic... Also, does anyone know how to turn the automatic shutoff off permanently?
In your personal opinion which trim do you think is the best per dollar?
Sport or EX
Hey Justin, Can you do the same for accord 2022 as well.
Dude U Awesome 👏
No comparison with the Elantra? It’s it’s biggest competitor
Im 5”7, will i fit in the back?
In Usa you don't have 2.0 Lt hybrid 184 hp?!??
Golf 147hp?
Only interested in the Sport with the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine and manual transmission. Don't want Automatic, don't want Turbo.
Yes! Do it! I got mine!!!
I just ordered mine in color white. $37K out the door. But I’m in California.
Are they doing BS add-ons in CA as well? In Texas, if they aren’t charging over msrp they are slapping add ons on like window tint, coatings etc
Lmao. I remember some females in my platoon pulling out sheewees on the woods haha
