Which model should you choose? The Hatch gives you more cargo space and that comes with a higher price tag.Also, The Hatch Sport gives you the option of a six-speed manual transmission or a CVT.😍
Hatchback manual Sonic pearl gray
Neither, 2023 Honda Civic Si in sonic grey pearl for me.
Wish they had hatchback Si
@@StandAloneState The only issue I had with the hatch was the swooping roof line that reduces the head room for the back passenger. I did not buy a Civic but instead bought a 10th gen Accord 2.0t, way more room for back seat passengers. And the 2.0t has the 10 speed that is smooth and keeps the power of the 2.0t ready and on tap at a small push of the gas petal.
@@sn4rl277 I’ve always been a hatchback guy. Rarely have guests in the back so the cargo room means more for me personally.
Great job! Thanks!! 😎
You bet!
I have a 2020 hatchback and when I buy this generation Civic it will be a hatchback. The utility is amazing, rivaling many SUVs. I’ll be in sticker shock though. I paid under 23k for my 2020 EX. BTW, no issues whatsoever in the 26 months I’ve had the car.
That’s the reliability of the civic honestly. Great thing to have on a car.
I got a 2023 Honda Civic sport (red) two weeks ago! I just love it! It is great on the road! It has plenty of room!
Great to hear!
I like the sedan because no one can see what I got in the trunk anyway and all my stuff surprisingly still fits! Had a Honda Civic Sport for a few days now, platinum white and love it! Can go really fast in a short amount of time but handles bumps quite well and it's easy to avoid potholes and drive well on the twisties! I drove SUVs for years and more recently a crossover and wanted something different, and I had many good memories of being in sedans when I was a kid, especially this Lexus my mom had at the time. I'm very confident now that I've gotten to break this in, I can easily go on longer trips too! MPG has been gradually going up as I keep using the car.
Glad you honestly like your car now! I really like the idea of not showing what’s in your trunk with the Sedna.
Sedan
you can just get a dark tint in the back and the covers that honda provides in the back helps with privacy.
I like that the sport sedan has a visible exhaust tip. I just road tripped with 3 buddies and the trunk space was more than enough for our suitcases, suits, some games, and an Xbox. (4 suitcases and 2 backpacks.) The sedan looks more complete imo. I love the hatch, but it feels like they took the sedan and just slightly adjusted it, rather than designing the whole thing around the “hatch” concept.
So Sedna for the win in your case. Haha I’m a sedan guy also.
Just bought the Honda Civic EX trim. Also got the HPD package add-ons. Love this car! Handles and accelerates great. Even though seats have no Lumbar I still have the heated seats and they are very comfortable. Have a bad back sometimes and that was a concern. For the money, no regrets.
I hear you! What’s your favorite part of the car and least favorite?
@@VagabondBuilds Looks great and fun to drive! Has decent space in it too for its size. Least favorite would be the single usb and single 12v power.
Lumbar is a huge deal for me. I wish the civic had it
@@Negative1KD seats are actually pretty comfortable, but still wish i had it
@@kyles3334 😅
No doubt the sport hatchback is waaay more appealing to the eyes 👀
Yea. You also get that possibility to fit more things in the back of the car when needed.
@@VagabondBuilds Exactly
Definitely.
The only thing better in the hatch is more room in the trunk. I choose the sedan
@@Pokka676 nah the look too lil bro
I like the back of the hatchback, looks futuristic 👌
Yes it does, I just lean more towards the sedan.
@@VagabondBuilds why tf
@@nolifezay4636why not tf
Almost looks like a charger which is cool
@@tealnoiseI was thinking a mini dodge magnum lol
You had me at dishwasher. Hatchback it is. I’m a garage/estate-sale shopper 😅 I love taking new treasures home.
Yea, there is that room for this. I’m a fan of the hatch for that reason.
Awesome video! I bought the 2023 hatchback sport and I’m having trouble finding where the car temperature is at!
Did you ever find it?
Want the Hatchback but not available in Indonesia, so I got the sendan pearl white. Eventually the more I look it the more I love it. Sedan look more proportional with the long hood and now I don’t like the hatchback anymore 😂
Hahaha yes they say some cars grow on you.
I traded in my 2014 Nissan Versa (hated that car...so many issues) for a 2023 Civic Sport Hatchback last month and I'm in love! I was going to get the standard LX trim but I got a Sport for 30k after fees/markups, wich is what I had been quoted for an LX elsewhere and I'm actually really glad I got the Sport! I feel so spoiled in this car.
Haha nice! New is always nice! But yes, good change !
I just bought brand new 2023 white Honda Civic Touring Hatchback and love it!!I love the steering wheel and it drives great!!I was originally looking for an Accord but went for the Hatchback!!I think both cars are great though!!
Great! Was the video helpful at all?
@VagabondBuilds It definitely would help anyone considering these vehicles!!Thank you for the information and great video!!🙂
Nice, im getting a 2024 sport touring in sonic grey
I ended up going with the sedan in blue, glad I did for eye appeal but man I do wish I had the hatch for Amazon flex and other things
Yea, I know. The space can be a deal breaker for some, but the sedan is something.
Same here man but got it in pearl white. My dealer didn’t have any hatchbacks in stock and only had 3 in transit. Was close to waiting but good a good deal on the sedan
got*
i like the look of the sedan for sure, thinking about getting it soon
Yea. I honestly wouldn’t mind one to be honest! I really like them.
I bought the 2023 civic sport hatchback with a CVT.I don't regret auto transmission for a change. I overpaid for it but i now have reliable new Honda. I put 200,000 on my EG hatchback and 150,000 on my S2000.I travel 33 miles to work and honda makes great work horses.
I will say they do! Honda is reliable.
The sedan for sure! Upgrading from a '19 lx sedan to '24 sport sedan (canadian version) this fall in aegean blue metallic. Super excited!
I hear you! Congrats because I’m a big fan of this new body style sedan!
@Vagabond Builds thanks brother. Had the privilege of taking a '22 sport out for a test drive at my local dealership when they first came out. Gorgeous car, definitely went the upscale route and no longer econo like. Loving the way they went euro style, kinda like an Audi on a budget.
@@Tom51993 do potholes ruin ur rims or no
@NoLifeZay never had a problem where I live
I'd take the hatchback...love the back end better..great vid.
Appreciate your support thank you!
Honda should have made the back end of the hatch longer like the Integra. It would look more balanced overall with the long front end. That should give it a little more cargo room too.
Wouldn’t it look to much like an integra?
The sedan itself is actually about 5 inches longer than the hatchback. so the trunk isn't as long by 3-4 inches.
The hatches are so hard to find right now. When you do, they're marked up $3-5k. I've been considering a Civic Hatch Sport but not sure I want to pay almost $32k after taxes, registration, fees, and the markup.
Paid 40k for mine
Lol i just paid 32k for a sports sedan goodluck finding a hatch for 32 now😭
@@jemar2037 I’m like 3 payments behind lmao my shit about to get repoed
@@localpizza. hopefully it ain the repo reaper lmfaoo
Yep. Apparently that is the case
all i got was the hatchback of notre dame.. hahah jk
thanks for the review :) grew up near there!
Lol get it!? Hahahaha
I just purchased the sport sedan in pearl white the other day. Wish my dealer had hatchbacks in stock as I might’ve bought that instead
Both look good. But I have to say I like the sedan look better..
i agree i love the tail lights more on the sedan and coming from a ‘21 civic sport sedan, i love the design of the new gen more
What about the differences in rear visibility? Would have been nice to see.
Yeah, I’ll try to include that next time
I mean can you just speak on it now.
Is there more or less rear visibility in the hatchback?
@@itonlyhurtswhenyoulie I would say it's less in the Hatch and it would be nice for Honda to offer that LIVE VIEW Camera that you find on a higher trim for most of the cars.
@@VagabondBuilds
Cool, thanks.
Once you go hatch, you won't go back! Hatch FTW
Nice! Why do you like the hatch ?
Hatch Back❤
Why the hatch?
How much is the hatch back. Does it come in a ,2 door. .
I believe we put the price in the video if I’m not mistaking.
Which drives and handles the best between the two?
I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t drive them but my guess would be the sedan.
Here i am been watching and searching cars can’t decide between 2021 accord sport or civic hatchback sports touring 😣
Are you asking for opinions hahaha
back seat hip/shoulder room are same size in both hatch and sedan? or hatch has smaller than the sedan?
I believe the hatch is 4 inches wider if not mistaking so the hatch would have a tad bit more room
@@VagabondBuilds ok thanks :)
I’m located in Sacramento do you know if there are any dealer markups?
I believe there is still mark ups. We do drop the stickers in our videos. If you are shopping just tell them you saw us as a commercial on TH-cam
Same here! Sacramento area. Mention your video and get a special deal? ;)
please what are differences between 2.0 and 1.5T , any recommendation ?
Go with 2.0. Naturally aspirated
Naturally aspirated and turbo. Go 2.0 for the win. The 2.0 has a few less hp and gets a couple mpg less. But it’s a better motor that will last longer.
We bought 2023 Hatch.
Best buy ever.
Nice! Glad you like it! Was the video helpful at all?
@@VagabondBuilds We checked a lot of videos and yes it was.
No regrets ☝🏼🥰
Ground clearance is same for both ?
Same for both yes. 6.7 inches
Both are nice but Honda should have included BSM and RCA alert standard for the sport models there is really no need for lx and ex models anymore.
Yea. I mean true but both re still selling.
I thought I read somewhere they stopped the sale of the lx
@@christopheradams3717they stopped it in 2022 but this year 2023 they brought lx trim back
ex give you the turbo 1.5 for 3k less than the touring, it makes sense pure money wise
I still love my 99 sedan that finally died, but it was reeeeeeally old moving my passenger seat all the way to the front to tetris my bike in. Costco run or a bike? No problem. Still feels like a smaller car too.
Are you buying a new civic?
I bought the 21 hatch sport 6MT. It's been perfect so far. Lots of room when I need it. Doesn't feel like an SUV. Won't beat any sports cars but no issues getting to 75+ by the time I merge on the highway. 37MPG on my daily commute around 45 MPH.
The sedan back seats don’t lower?
They do lower.
Hatchback in general for the compact segment, regardless of whether it's a Civic or Corolla. 2000s nostalgia factor aside, what advantage does the sedan provide?
Cheaper. In Phoenix, hatchbacks are marked up about $2000-3000 more than sedans. if I wanted more space, I’d go back to a 4Runner.
Not sure honestly. But I just like the sedan look better.
At the dealership I went to the hatch is only marked up $1k. I think the dealers aren’t extorting people like they were the last 3 years. I got a lease for $369 with $500 down. End of lease I can buy for $18k.
I wish SO badly honda would sell a civic trim that has cooled/ventilated seats. A red interior would also be super sick. I'd buy a hatchback civic tomorrow if I could at least get the vented seats.
For the price though, looking at a cadilac CT4 for 35k, I'd take that over a civic any day for a few grand more
Haha great idea honestly! Let us know what you decide !
@Vagabond Builds probably going to wait for the 2024 mustang
@@Tellurdogisayhellothere’s a dealership near me that had a hatchback with red leather. It was beautiful. Pretty sure it was a third party job though because Honda doesn’t offer red leather
IMO the sedan looks better but the hatchback does provide more utility
Yea, I agree with ya.
do both of them have the optionof manual transmission?
Sedan is available only in CVT AND manual is optional for the hatchback if I’m not mistaking.
@@VagabondBuilds ah I see, thank you. Now it's clear for me to choose the hatchback, it's not that I dislike automatics just that the lack of a gearknob feels weird to me
Do you know why car makers forego the seat memory option? That is extremely helpful to my husband and I. He’s 6’ and I’m 5’2”. It’s nice to not have to adjust things if one of us is too tired to drive our cars.
I honestly don’t have an exact explanation for this really. I just know some cars have them and some don’t do to trim levels.
Tough decision. Hatchbacks are cooler, but this sedan still looks like it offers a lot! As long as the car is manual transmission, either car works!
I’m going with sedan….
I can't get over how remarkably similar in design the new Civic Hatchback, and Sedan look to both the Audi A5, and A4 respectively.
Honda are playing Audi at their own game - and beating them! Certainly for price and fuel efficiency. But the interior dashboard is a masterclass in uncluttered design - serious thought has gone into its layout and look. Love the combination of different materials used too.
Yea. I have to say I’m a fan of the new body styles all over.
Audi uses 2.0T or bigger engines, RWD/AWD, and Automatic/DCT transmissions, all things that Honda lacks. I’d say Mazda is much closer to Audi than Honda.
Not a chance a honda compares to an audi lol
@@TheDiameter he’s referring solely to the visual design and layout
@@TellurdogisayhelloI own a 2018 Audi s5 visually I see the point he makes on the exterior
Sport Hatchback in Boost Blue.
Is that the one you bought?
Does the hatchback trunk leak water
I didn’t do a water test on it to be honest.
A few people found water in the trunk where the spare tire is, but I think that was in the 2022's.
Shame you can't get a Honda for MSRP anywhere in the Northeast. Dealerships gauging $4K over in some places.
Yea, crazy the markups some are putting on these cars. Insane.
@@VagabondBuilds really? for a sport hatch? i got mine in Feb 2022 for MSRP . Guess I got lucky I'm in NJ
Just got mine outside Philly for MSRP. There are other dealers in the area also selling them at MSRP, but they are limited in inventory, for sure.
The hatch obviously
Thanks for sharing
In my area you can't get the sport hatchback for under 30k with the insane markups. Smh
Where in the world is your area. ? Haha
In September my 2022 sport hatchback was just under 30! And that’s before taxes, etc 😢
This is in Texas
Just got my 2023 hatchback with spalsh guards, wheel locks, cargo tray, all season floor mats for 29,900 o.t.d. i think i got a really good deal
@@saulpaz9635 In Tennessee I got the dealer down to 27,000. The problem is I have to wait two months for the car to be made. I think the prices are coming down.
The hatch tail light more cooler
Really, you like them better? Why so?
Can attest to putting a dishwasher in the hatch lmao
Haha nice! Done it many times with things like that lol
i went sedan. not sure if it was mentioned in the video but the sport sedan gets remote start, the sport hatch does not. really helps in winter before leaving for work to clean off your windshield and warm up the car.
Thanks for the info!
I have the 10th gen hatchback. Way more practical then sedan. It eliminates my need for a SUV. Except being blinded by other vehicles Led headlights
Haha well you can always get a darker tint on the back windshield.
@@VagabondBuilds mostly from the front. The worst is those big ass pick up truck putting shame bright aftermarket LED to the lowbeam. I can’t see shit when they drive towards me and I can’t see pedestrian crossing. The low beam height is like High beam height of SUV. Seriously this should be illegal
Sedan looks better!
I hear you. ! Haha
Newest sport hatchback and sedan model with less HP, slower than previous generations of civic sport hatchback and sedan with more HP.?
Have you driven one to see the difference?
Sedan looks better… Got it in Platinum Pearl White…. So sexy
I have to agree. But the extra space is a deal breaker for some.
@@VagabondBuilds I agree also… that’s a easy decision if you want that extra space
I like the sedan!!!
Same!
I bought the lx sedan, didn’t care for the sport since the only difference I saw was the black wheels. I’m happy with my purchase, not a fan of the hatchback look lol
I’m a sedan person myself. But the hatchback is super convenient at times.
There is more differences. The LX has a smaller radio with less speakers and there is more differences. For about 1,300.00 more you get a lot more options with the sport.
Definitely more to a Sport than the wheels. Well worth it.
My Honda dealer wanted the sport sedan 2023 for 32k... The touring they asked for 38k out the door.
Not worth it? Which dealer?
Find a new dealer. That's a joke in the present car market and with current interest rates. Car dealerships are not moving much inventory at present.
In Tennessee just paid $27,000 for a red 2023 Civic Sport sedan new. Seems prices are coming down. Also got some upgrades for that price.
if only you dropped the rear seats on the hatch so people could see the difference.
Totally sorry to be honest! Wish we would have, my mistake.
Hatchback all the way win🎉
Where is the 2-Door hatchback?
You missing the old body style?
@@VagabondBuilds A 4-door with a hatch looks like yet another cross-over.
The Hatchback of Notre Dame - pretty funny.
Haha haha thanks for the compliment
Too bad every dealership is giving customers the middle finger with what they are selling for.
Haha but honestly they are still selling so people are paying it.
I got mine at list
They shouldve made an si hatch
Would you have bought it?
@@VagabondBuilds absolutely. Which is why they probably didn’t make it. Makes the type r that much more exclusive
*4:10
🤔. I thi k you meant to say Huntchback
Hahaha yes! Sorry 😅
The hatchback of notre dame lol😂
Glad I can make someone laugh hahhaah
Wanted a 2023 Honda sport hatchback but it doesn't come in the 1.5T. You have to get the sport touring if you want the turbo.
Even then the engine is anemic.
Yea, I’m not a big fan of these turbo induced engines. We will see how they hold up
@@VagabondBuilds I got the Mazda3 instead with the 2.5T - but now I'm concerned because my 2023 sedan was manufactured in Mexico and Japan. Hopefully the QC is just as good there.
Turbo is junk. You have been warned.
This would’ve made a nice 2 door coupe smh. All Honda has now is the NSX 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Sheesh….. it’s a nice car though haha
Same features, same interior only difference is on back and price difference is CAD $3500 more for hatch not worth it
That’s is very good because I like the sedan haha
I'll buy a hatch when they fix the leak.
Hmm, not aware of that issue.
Thanks for sharing.
These pauses in your sentences are KILLING me
Sorry! Overall was the video helpful?
I bought the hatch but I wish I would have gotten the sedan.
Why?
Why so?
You're seriously throwing that out there with no explanation, most people here are interested in purchasing a new vehicle share info with the group
Why tell us now
If you aren't somehow incapacitated, then you're just an idiot
That hatchback is not really a hatchback. In that case the model s from tesla is a hatchback just because has a fifth door. Vw golf is a real hatchback.
I see what your saying. I see it.
Fastback
Touring models have wireless charging 😊
Thank you for the input and response! Appreciate it!
I would choose the 1.5 turbo 6mt all day
A lot of potential with that set up to get some real power out of it.
Turbo 1.5l is having head gasket problems. I would get the 2.0L all day.
@@jaysmith179 my wife has a 2018 civic hatchback 1.5t my brothers wife has the accord 1.5t a good friend has a 2017 civic 1.5t an they all have 70k + an none of them have head gasket problems idk anyone with a head gasket issue on the 1.5t it's not even on the mechanics service boards. Head gaskets are far far from a common issue..
Well I will take the Civic hatchback over the sedan because the hatchback comes in a manual transmission versus a sedan unless it’s that SI Honda Civic Jack just comes manual transmission. That solves the problem there. No automatic worst transmission. You can’t drive a manual transmission your whip.
It is very true that the manual transmission will give you a whole lot less issues.
HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME
Haha totally sorry 😅 haha but yes! Will correct next time!
@@VagabondBuilds It was a good play on words no need to be sorry. You convinced me to purchase one.
Coupe
I hear you!
hatchback better
It comes down to preference.
I'd prefer the hatchback, but wow, that rear seat is spartan. The lack of map pockets and a folding center armrest is inexcusable. My $22k Corolla has more backseat amenities than this.
What do you get in the Corolla?
@@VagabondBuilds There are cupholders in the doors, there's the center folding armrest with cupholders, and there are map pockets for both seats. The Civic definitely wins in rear legroom, but even with the Corolla's smaller size, most average size humans fit back there perfectly fine and there's plenty of amenities. It's ridiculous that you have to go up so high in the trim levels for standard features in the already expensive Civic.
@@StopWhatYerDoing fair enough.
Hatchback of Notre Dame huh? 🤔
Haha. Yep
The panel gaps on the civic hatch are laughably large and uneven. The way cheaper Corolla hatch appears to be assembled way better. It's too bad the Corolla has way less room. 😢
So which one are you going for?
@@VagabondBuilds I have a 2021 Corolla hatch se 6spd manual. I just wish it had bigger back seats. I was looking at a 2023 civic to entertain the idea of switching in 2024 or 2025. They might work out the quality control issues by then.
No way bro said hatchback of notredame
Haha Yes way! Haha
You picked up the wrong hoode
Why do you say that?
“what’s up TH-cam?” …. Come on dude…you can do better than that
Hahaha! Ummm…. Any ideas ?
@@VagabondBuilds ….enjoyed the video…..my suggestion…drop the “TH-cam “ part…..people are watching TH-cam…..we don’t work for TH-cam.
Either dual exhaust or no exhaust, one exhaust showing looks like you forgot the other, looks tacky
Haha. I understand but never really thought of that oh a civic haha
It's 2022 not 2023
Come again?
Center console, hunchback of Notre Dame… sorry just sayin
Haha no offense taken haha. I kept saying hatch so much I was like whhaaaa? Haha
The hatch is so ugly
Really, I think it looks a whole lot better than the last model.
