coming back to this to share: legit a week after this video came out I bought a 2024 civic in this white, in the sport trim. Not because of this video though, my last car got wrecked. I've had it since September 28th, and have put almost 1,300 miles on it, brand new. I was able to get it from the dealership with no packages or addons. If the dealer won't remove or is adamant about putting them on, go somewhere else. Here's what I can tell you. - The interior heats up and cools down quickly. On the colder days, I'm not even out of my neighborhood before it's at the perfect temp. Along with that, the dials and the buttons are clicky and responsive and I love it. - I do primarily city driving and range anywhere between 32 and 36 mpg. In the sport. It's a 20 minute drive to work, and another 20 back, all in the city. Yeah. I fill up at costco and gas only costs me 24 dollars for a full tank. - The steering is amazing. I had a jetta that was pretty good, this is just so sporty, its ridiculous. - It's a quick little car, even in NORMAL mode. It's zippy in sport but at the cost of your MPG and i'm not speedracer. - The interior is comfortable. I put in LED lightstrips in the floor, and have them in red. Beautiful. - The seats are no joke. Those buckets keep you firmly in the seat in winding turns. - It sits very low. Practically everyone who's sat in it has fallen into the seat. I like the fact it sits so low. Cool look. - Trunk space isn't great, considering I'm moving an entire bedroom 4 states away in August, so I'm worried, but it'll work. - The headlights are bright and are high quality. IF YOU WANT TO USE ANDROID AUTO, BUY A USB 3.0 CABLE. The car only accepts USB 3.0 transfer cables. It's a sad point, and I wish it was wireless, but whatever. I go about 350 miles on a tank of gas, and driving everyday, I go about 3 weeks without filling up. It's a looker of a car, so don't park it in the street. It will get robbed, or worse, your rims will be stolen. Look it up. It's a real thing. Also, buy a faraday cage. It blocks RFID signals so robbers can't clone your fob from outside of your house and steal your car. I also put Decepticon badges on the car because bad guys are cool
I got same car 2 months, & " Ditto" on EVERYTHING you said. I couldn't have said it better myself nor covered all the points you mentioned. I do like it for the price point & my dealer did not mark up the MSRP, so that to me was a GREAT deal !!😊. It had only been on the lot 2 days when I saw it & traded in my 8 yr old car & drove this baby home. Haven't looked back !! Enjoying everything that was mentioned in the video & it covers a lot of information.
I recently picked up a '24 ex-l hatch and agree with most of your points. It definitely feels adequately peppy in normal mode compared to the '21 hatch I had. Not really sure why, but I 100% noticed turbo lag in that gen and I don't with this one. I rarely put it in sport mode. Only stupid things are not having wireless charging, Sirius, or a glove compartment lock. I feel like they kinda went cheapo on that, but it's not a showstopper. I'd also like it to be a little wider in the front seat so my knee isn't resting against the center console, but that's another minor thing. Overall, I like it...this is a quality car. It's got a pretty decent turning radius, too (at least the hatch).
@alxbrooks I hear you about wishing the seat was a tad bit wider. I don't have a big "rear" , but if wider it would be more comfortable & your knee wouldn't be against the center console. Also, I feel cramped in the ankle on the gas pedal. If I move the seat back its too far to reach the steering wheel, so if I move it up, my leg is bent uncomfortable & my foot is angled up at the ankle causing some strain. No matter how I adjust I can't get comfortable. Good thing I don't have long drives or it would be a deal breaker for me in that regard.
@@JanetVaughn-cm3et yea I’ve found a sweet spot with the seating position, but it’s still not perfect. I could create more leg room by moving the seat down, but I don’t like the feeling of sitting that low. I’m assuming you’ve tried this, but you could pull the steering wheel out when the seat is back. I know the accord has great leg room, but I preferred the civic design. I tried the crv, too, but interestingly it felt like there’s even less leg room than the civic.
@alxbrooks yes. I already adjusted the steering wheel out as far as it will go. But no help. Tried cushions & helping some but most are too narrow. Endless cycle. So I guess I will have to adapt. Oh well, minor issue I will have to learn to live with
I also noticed when I test drove one that the road noise was kind of loud. Louder than it should be. I know it’s a sport. But put sound deadening in the car Honda. Other than those little complaints. I loved it
@@cean1599when my dad bought his Santa Fe, he knew he wanted it right away and told the dealer all the things he wanted to hear. Eventually he started laying back and would just come to the dealership to look at the car. Eventually they got fed up and begged what it would take for him to leave. He said take 3k off the MSRP you’ll never see me again; been driving the car for almost a year lol
I’m looking into buying my first car and I can’t decide if I’m interested in the civic or the accord. The civic looks better but I’m 6’1and i wanna feel comfortable in the car, the civic looks small to me. Maybe i need to see it in person but if anyone have one plz let me know how you feel about it! I would appreciate it
I’m confident you would be able to fit quite comfortably in the civic. Though I don’t have a 2024, I do have a 2016 which my brother can fit and drive perfectly fine in. (he is 6’1 as well). I’m pretty sure the 2016 has a bit of a smaller interior than the 2024 too. I know you can also adjust the seat in more ways than one. Of course the best way would be to test them out in person but I hope this helped a little!
I'm 6'1 as well. No issues in my hatch so far. That said, I could use probably an inch of leg room and maybe an inch wider so my knee isn't so close to the center console. Otherwise, it's been pretty doable (certainly not crammed). You're gonna have trade-off's in every car.
I have a 2023 Civic Sport and it seems very large for a Civic. I don't think it is much smaller on the inside, from the Accord. And the Civic is a much better value. It is one of my favorite cars I have every purchased.
@@Ken-v2b6b the Accord usually has a little more leg room in the front, but maybe not as much in the latest generation. I didn't test drive that one because I just wasn't a fan of the styling. However, I think the CRV has even less front leg room than the Civic. I felt crammed in it during the test drive. Overall, I like the car so far, though I could do without the idle start/stop...that is definitely the most annoying feature on the car. I'm hoping that I get used to it.
I just bought one too waiting on it to come in only downside I see with it is the road noise but hell my old 04 crv has shit tons of road noise so with a decent stereo system no biggie lol, looks cool Hondas are super reliable and price is right that’s what sold me.
Purchased my 2024 civic 3 months ago and I'm highly disappointed with quality 2 repairs in 3 months! I feel like this car is sitting in dealership more often than in my parking lot
I just Financed mine! pulled it off the Lot with 5 miles on it. it drives very nice and it's very smooth. it has 3 modes (Sport, Econ, and normal). The steering wheel is either real leather and very smooth or its cheap leather, but it's still very smooth! Also, I don't recommend the 1.5turbo engine. turbo engines tend to overwork the engine and the engine wears off faster. The Honda Civic sport has a natural gas 4-cylinder engine, It's actually quicker than people think. Mine is still very new, I got to put more miles on it!
I traded in my 17 civic lx and it’s such a nice upgrade. I’m glad the driving is similar in both cars and I get Apple CarPlay now! Plus straightforward cup holders in the front, the 17 was slanted and putting any cups would spill lol. I’ve been watching all the reviews on the touring and hatchbacks but honestly simplicity fits better for me and my budget lmaooo. Oh and the rims 🙂↕️I had hub caps on the 17 and they were so ugly.
I think the people that buy Corolla XYZZ are more value conscious and truly are not interested in having their having to be clean. There is a certainty about Toyota even dated limitations. I like Hondas but Toyota is their own galaxy and planets period. Oddly the Toyotas I had let me down and the Hondas held up: manual trans though. I think HRV sport owners like to get dirty then get a super wash. Base Civic owners would interesting but I never see the reviews for them 🚗
Got one a few days ago Sport in Sonic Gray after driving nothing but whoopties with no AC. And a working speedometer. Big upgrade from my 92 Grand Marquis 😂 absolute game changer for me
it's not fast, it's not slow.. You do NOT have the complexity of the 1.5t either ! The 2.0l Honda is bulletproof. The CVT for some reason has been really reliable as well. Great little car !!
Where they get this wrong is not doing a fully loaded higher tier sport version with blind spot monitors and all the safety features with leather interior.
These base model civics have the same K-series K20C V-tech 2.0 motor as Type - R. Just minus the turbo. So yeah, many possibilities of upgrading this engine...
I wanted a manual civic sport, i got my 2024 for around 27 msrp 😢😂. But yeah its a great car. I traded in my 2012 si, due to premuim gas and putting way too many miles on it for work
I was at a honda dealership and saw a red one just like this. Looks even better in person. I think this car in manual is the perfect civic. Si and type r is nice. But this is what the classic Honda brought, but new.
I had a 2022 Honda Civic sport for two years literally just lost it yesterday,driver made a crazy turn and hit me head on….. the car is a champ at taking damage The other person car is destroyed my civic sport was bruised badly but still put together.
This is a $40,000 car. It starts at $25,550. Add $3,000 market adjustment, $1,000 delivery fee, $1,000 office fee, $1,000 extras they put on, $750 registration and fees, extended warranty $2,500?, $2000.00 taxes and $4,000-$6,000 interest on finance fees. I know because I bought one.
Bought this car 3 weeks ago same everything but added tinted windows & wow hot asf not gonna lie & depending where you live you see one every couple of days or your the only one with this care within 10 miles
@@caffmaster6804same I leased my frontier 17/m ago and will lease again. If you negotiate a decent OTD price and not just monthly payment you can get a good deal. I'm leaning more toward a Sentra SR/SR premium now.
I have this car and love it. I will no longer buy American products. The Japanese forbid their executives and board members from owning stock in the companies they run. The differences are NIGHT and DAY. I love Japanese products.
Sonic gray pearl looks great with all the black trim. I have seen other cars with too much trim, this is not one of them. Aegean blue would be my 2nd choice. good: It has a trunk latch in the back now! It has wash spray IN the wipers and remote start! Hopefully, the LED headlights will be an improvement over the worst feature of the 10th generation, (2016-21). It has leather steering but with a seam right at your finger-tips, and automatic time on the clock if you wish. Visibility seems better. Warning light if there is something on the back seat when you turn the car off. bad: It has a smaller glove box than last generation and idle-stop. You have to turn it off each time you drive, or you get an engine start, slight lurch and scrape sensation. Maybe a software upgrade some time??? Gas gauge is lower resolution and no temp gauge. Interior seems to collect dust better now.
The 2.0L K-Series motor is a gem. No Direct Injection, no turbo, no hybrid. Just a simple Honda 4 banger that will serve you for many years without the complications.
For me, I don't care if a car has a sunroof or not. The Sport trim cars doesn't seem to have this or offer it at all. The biggest reason why I love the Sport trim Civic is the black headliner. I HATE the contrast between the black interior and light gray headliner/pillar trim in the Touring and other trim levels. I think the Sport is the only one out of all the trims levels that offer the black headliner as standard.
The sport looks like the si and has everything I need for sure ! This red one REALLY ! Looks like the si for sure and that’s a good thing . I love it !
I'm in canada and the sport here is a step up from the American version, the sport in the states is below the ex but the canadian is a step above the ex, example my 2024 has a moon roof and turning lights on my mirrors, why the difference?
You think it offers more than the Hyundai Elantra SEL? 14:55...most of those are found in the Elantra SEL at a price point of $25K. Including heated seats and a 10.25" infotainment screen. Reliability is another story...
From an on-road perspective the Civic is a better daily. The Elantra is certainly more tech driven and cutting edge, I just don't think the 2 liter with the IVT is that great of a pairing although I'm not too crazy about the CVT for the Civic either. What has me sold on the Civic is the chassis and platform especially under $30k. With the Elantra, knowing you can get a DCT with the N-Line just incentivizes to spend a little extra. But reliability will ultimately be what sways a shopper at this price point.
I purchased the 2023 Honda Civic touring. It was a very good deal but you’re still gonna pay more than the retail price with that being said remember you will pay for what you get.
I had 8200 equity in my 20 Fit EX. I had a 19 accord touring hybrid I had to sell in my divorce. I wanted a accord ex for 23. My car insurance was going to go up by 445 for 6 months. The Civic was 440 more over 6 months. The lowest at 235 more was the HRV. Accords and Civics are stolen more and very expensive to repair. I bought a 24 HRV EXL blind spot just on the cheaper insurance. I paid 29K, no mark ups, put 2K more down. My Fit was 330. My HRV is 342 a month. I financed 20500. Don’t over pay for a car or insurance. I really wanted another accord but not paying that more for insurance.
I'd shop around for sure. As for it being the top 2 most stolen, it seems that is true for the decade old civics and accords. I am interested though when you say expensive to repair.
Not to keen on the cvt trannny but oh well it’s gonna be like my 87 Honda 250 elite scooter so it’s all good I’m sure all companies are gonna go to it in few years anyways but it gets the job done for what I need which is work and home and a few things around town, prolly not the best road trip car but how many people take road trips anymore these days anyways lol. Nice looking car that won’t break you.
I don't know if you have shopped for cars lately, but this is what it is. Around me Civic Sports go for 27K and I bought one. That market price is because people still want cars not SUVS or trucks and no one makes "affordable" cars anymore except Honda, Toyota and Mazda. The Civic sport is really a nice car, not perfect but good on gas, handles well and is fun to drive and looks great.
@@thumperbangin2000 Of course. We are all entitled to our own opinion. Liking or disliking cars or transmissions is purely subjective. I put transmissions in this order from like to dislike; Manual transmission, traditional automatic transmission, Dual Clutch Transmission, eCVT that is in most hybrids and then CVT. But really I only truly enjoy driving a manual. Your likes are different, which is fine.
The new Civic is a great car. However, I believe you get a lot more with the Mazda3 hatchback for the money. The sport trim for the mazda costs about the same as the civic, but it has 189 HP compared to the civic's 156 HP. It also has full leatherette seats and a premium interior. Mazda is still very reliable and the 3 hatchback looks a lot better in my opinion.
Some of the new Honda Civic engines are leaking oil at 5000 miles. The Honda Civic is too small and it might be fun to drive if you have the SI but in my humble opinion, get yourself the last generation Honda accord with the 2 L turbo engine.
are you going to keep it ? I test drove one but didn’t pay attention to the seats. Just went to Car Max and sat in a couple and noticed the seats are hard
Mazda 3 sport sedan is cheaper and comes with an AT instead of a CVT. Come on Honda, bring back the AT. Mazda also give you full LED taillight/breaklight which includes the turn signal and backup lights, heated mirrors with turn signal and standard blind spot/cross traffic alert. If Mazda could do it, why not Honda? How much more would it cost you?
I just sold my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. I put 41000 miles on it. The worst thing about the Civic Sport is that it is very loud at highway speeds. The low profile tires provide a rough ride and a lot of road noise. I am now driving a 2024 Camry and the difference in ride and road noise is amazing
@Gordon buss1476--You disliked the Honda so much you put 41000 miles on it. Right ......and you even had the gall to leave a comment. I feel sorry for your Toyota.
Wow a normal and sleek looking Honda sedan for 2024?! Too bad the embarrassment Accord can't do the same! The Camry is destroying the Accord thru design and looks and by 2025 it will be even worse for the Accord! Honda will never catch up. Have you seen what the 2025 Toyota Camry looks like??!! It is stunning!!! Do you remember the 2009 Dodge Durango and how absolutely awful the design was? That's where the 2023 Accord is at. The 2023 Accord is that car that the boys compare to an ugly chick. They ask each other if they would sleep with her. And they all say: only if i was drunk enough. That's the same for the 2023 Accord. I can only like that model if i was drunk enough to look at it.
The 2025 Camry is the same body style as the current generation. They just changed the front and back end. Look at it from the side and it is the same. They should have totally changed it for the new generation. The old body style is tired.
@@Ken-v2b6b I’m just comparing the Camry after the new 23 Accord and it is looking really good. I think Honda really got the design great from 2013-2022. After 2023 it turned into a complete dump. Honda is bowing to the global W. Agenda crap. It’s sad to see a good company go to crap. And the Camry still has a V-6 and they also offer a 4 cylinder AWD. Hopefully Dodge doesn’t turn the Charger into a 4 cylinder hybrid. If that happens, then you know we’re all fuked lol. Everyone can calm down. Miami will be ok and Antarctica will be okay too. 🤣 These people are lunatics! Just in West Texas alone we still have over 200 years left in oil. And that doesn’t even count North Dakota and the Alaskan pipeline! The US alone could have over 500 years left in oil! And we should use every last drop!!
I bought one,October 20,2023 ! Could not be happier ! Traded in my 2019 Civic Sport for the 2024 Accord Sport L . Either way,easily one of the most reliable cars out there …… A HONDA !!))
Nov,14 2023 I helped my daughter negotiate a deal on a meteorite gray off the truck for $23,300. MSRP on the sticker was $26,645. Super happy with the deal! A brand new Honda 😊😊😊
@otrbron5936 I live in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, and there are at least 15 to 20 dealers in a 50-mile radius. At the time a 2024 Civic Sport was coming from the manufacturer at 26,945. From my research, the dealer should be able to discount the vehicle up to 5% off the MSRP given that the vehicle has no add-on assesories from the manufacturer or the dealer, especially the dealer. Dealers will take delivery of the vehicle and do what they call dealer add on and double charge and pass it on to the buyer. The key is to not let the dealer add any upgrades that you can later do for way less than they can. Example: Tinted windows, care packages, wheel locks, pin strips, things you can get done yourself. Ask them what they will have coming in off the truck and find out the MSRP and negotiate that price and tell them you don't want dealer add on. It want be easy, but they can sell you a 2024 Civic under the MSRP. Even if you get 2% or 2.5% or even at MSRP you are getting a good deal. Try not to buy way above MSRP. Good luck brother
The sad thing is since i bought my 2020 sport (10th gen) they have increased the price 25% and removed many things off the (11th gen). No longer has a trunk light, back seat went to one piece flip vs the 60/40 split, guages are now ½ analog vs the 10th gen full digital, no longer has fog lights or a USB in the center console and they basically glued an Ipad to the dash for the display vs the 10th gen integrated into the dash. Has same powertrain but added the stupid start/stop to the 11th gen. 10th gen also had a sportier looking center exit exhaust. Mirrors were color matched with black accents which looked more refined. The only improvment i see is the LED headlights. 10th gen looked way sportier and sleek. This was a step backwards.
**Man** you're smoking grass if you think the Civic Sport outmatches an Elantra lol. Preferably a Kia Forte GT-Line which is the exact same price, not only do you get better fuel economy, but you get more power and quicker acceleration + 10 years 100k powertrain warranty. You also get *leather* bolstered seats that are 3-stage heated and cooled, the driver's is 10-way power adjustable, you also get a far more intuitive 10.25 in. screen where the Civic is only 7 in. 😂 what else man, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, rear A/C vents, rear USB, and full-on highway driving assist... a sportier flat-bottom steering wheel, premium *Harman Kardon* sound system, electric assist trunk that will fully open on approach, also REAR cupholders. I appreciate that there are people who want to buy Civic's and make the market competitive but I can't understand the "hard to look anywhere else" claim when the Forte GT-Line offers exponentially more for 26k. *"embarrassing competitors at this price point..."*
The GT-Line has 147 hp and 132 lb ft of torque which is less than the Civic Sport. Has no manual option like the Sport unless you go with the GT. Kia doesn’t offer leather seats. Kia’s SynTex upholstery is a leatherette material. Some of the features you’re referencing like the heated and ventilated seats, wireless phone charger, and 10 way driver seat are all optional and would then place the GT-Line at the same price point as the Civic EX which has the better 1.5l 4 cylinder and similar features to a well equipped GT-Line. Even if we’re going to compare a GT to the Si, the Civic is a far better driver’s car than what Kia is offering and the sales are a reflection of that.
@@lemoynetaylor5728Definitely agree, I was pretty sold on getting the GT over the civic sport until I saw the GT in person. The GT has a lot more extras but the quality was cheap to me. The civic sport doesnt have a lot of extras, but I actually like the simplicity of it, plus you can see it's a better made quality car.

@@Ken-v2b6b the Accord usually has a little more leg room in the front, but maybe not as much in the latest generation. I didn't test drive that one because I just wasn't a fan of the styling. However, I think the CRV has even less front leg room than the Civic. I felt crammed in it during the test drive. Overall, I like the car so far, though I could do without the idle start/stop...that is definitely the most annoying feature on the car. I'm hoping that I get used to it.
It's not a Gti .. pass
Purchased my 2024 civic sport two months ago and loving every minute of it. Not flashy or super fast but it is reliable, safe, and affordable.
I just bought one too waiting on it to come in only downside I see with it is the road noise but hell my old 04 crv has shit tons of road noise so with a decent stereo system no biggie lol, looks cool Hondas are super reliable and price is right that’s what sold me.
Purchased my 2024 civic 3 months ago and I'm highly disappointed with quality
2 repairs in 3 months!
I feel like this car is sitting in dealership more often than in my parking lot
Just bought this in rally red last week. Enjoying the ride.
Me too!
the only thing this trim is missing is blind spot monitoring and proximity sensors would have taken this over the top.
1 day, I buy a new 2024 Honda Civic Sport.
Me too, in 2034 ill buy Civic 2024 probably.
Same 😊😢

I bought my 2023 Civic Sport last December. One of my favorite cars I have ever owned. It is an awesome vehicle.
People buy Sport because no f up oil dilution turbo motor as EXL or Touring
Yep. If they want to sell more horsepower they can build an inline 6. Otherwise, I'd go for the 2.0.
I bought this car in September, and I love it. 7 hr trip and it was great on gas, handles well and very comfortable.
Thank you for that information!
I'd only really go for the civic in manual. Otherwise, I'd lean towards a mazda probably with traditional automatic but theyre solid little cars
I just Financed mine! pulled it off the Lot with 5 miles on it. it drives very nice and it's very smooth. it has 3 modes (Sport, Econ, and normal). The steering wheel is either real leather and very smooth or its cheap leather, but it's still very smooth! Also, I don't recommend the 1.5turbo engine. turbo engines tend to overwork the engine and the engine wears off faster. The Honda Civic sport has a natural gas 4-cylinder engine, It's actually quicker than people think. Mine is still very new, I got to put more miles on it!
Mind if I ask how much out the door you paid for the car? I’m considering one ! Sorry if it’s to personal and you don’t have to answer!
@@GetusomWe just purchased one today and it was $28,600.
@@knowone42 I got mine for 27,477 otd….. silver sport …little bit load on the road noise from the tires. But I like it
Wait till you see the quality of this car
You'll get disappointed
I traded in my 17 civic lx and it’s such a nice upgrade. I’m glad the driving is similar in both cars and I get Apple CarPlay now! Plus straightforward cup holders in the front, the 17 was slanted and putting any cups would spill lol. I’ve been watching all the reviews on the touring and hatchbacks but honestly simplicity fits better for me and my budget lmaooo. Oh and the rims 🙂↕️I had hub caps on the 17 and they were so ugly.
I think the people that buy Corolla XYZZ are more value conscious and truly are not interested in having their having to be clean. There is a certainty about Toyota even dated limitations. I like Hondas but Toyota is their own galaxy and planets period. Oddly the Toyotas I had let me down and the Hondas held up: manual trans though.
I think HRV sport owners like to get dirty then get a super wash.
Base Civic owners would interesting but I never see the reviews for them 🚗
Got one a few days ago Sport in Sonic Gray after driving nothing but whoopties with no AC. And a working speedometer. Big upgrade from my 92 Grand Marquis 😂 absolute game changer for me
it's not fast, it's not slow.. You do NOT have the complexity of the 1.5t either ! The 2.0l Honda is bulletproof. The CVT for some reason has been really reliable as well. Great little car !!
Where they get this wrong is not doing a fully loaded higher tier sport version with blind spot monitors and all the safety features with leather interior.
Sport touring?
So true. I'm leaning toward the Sentra SR/SR premium just in the features alone.
These base model civics have the same K-series K20C V-tech 2.0 motor as Type - R. Just minus the turbo. So yeah, many possibilities of upgrading this engine...
I’m looking into one and after seeing this I might have to get me one I’m trading in a 2015 mustang GT
I wanted a manual civic sport, i got my 2024 for around 27 msrp 😢😂. But yeah its a great car. I traded in my 2012 si, due to premuim gas and putting way too many miles on it for work
I was at a honda dealership and saw a red one just like this. Looks even better in person. I think this car in manual is the perfect civic. Si and type r is nice. But this is what the classic Honda brought, but new.
I agree especially the type r in red it looks so good
Excellent car for the price and has a great review video, thank you!
I had a 2022 Honda Civic sport for two years literally just lost it yesterday,driver made a crazy turn and hit me head on….. the car is a champ at taking damage The other person car is destroyed my civic sport was bruised badly but still put together.
Definitely getting a '22-'24 silver hatch w/ the K20 & 6 spd manual to replace my Forte5 SX once it warranty runs out ❤
This is a $40,000 car. It starts at $25,550. Add $3,000 market adjustment, $1,000 delivery fee, $1,000 office fee, $1,000 extras they put on, $750 registration and fees, extended warranty $2,500?, $2000.00 taxes and $4,000-$6,000 interest on finance fees. I know because I bought one.
Only a $40,000 car cause you deemed it that way. I negotiated my way to $27,000 out the door 🤷🏽♂️

U can say this about any car 😂
I love the Sport as well but trying to figure out when the 2025 model will arrive on lots. I'm in Atlanta.
Based on your experiene, how does this compare with the 2024 Toyota Corolla SE?
Bought this car 3 weeks ago same everything but added tinted windows & wow hot asf not gonna lie & depending where you live you see one every couple of days or your the only one with this care within 10 miles
Wish Honda offered the Bose sound system as an interior option
value, 2.0 naturally aspirated, 6 speed manual... it is the last solid built less modern and complicated car there is... and very reliable.
and i like cloth seats personally.
It doesn't feel like you got jipped. A rare feeling nowadays.
Buy a 30 grand car with interst rates at 10% now.
Lol!
It’s so depressing omg
That’s why I leased
@@caffmaster6804same I leased my frontier 17/m ago and will lease again. If you negotiate a decent OTD price and not just monthly payment you can get a good deal. I'm leaning more toward a Sentra SR/SR premium now.
Anyone driven this model in the snow,how does it handle?
hit the source button on the wheel u dont need a cord
I have this car and love it. I will no longer buy American products. The Japanese forbid their executives and board members from owning stock in the companies they run. The differences are NIGHT and DAY. I love Japanese products.
Sonic gray pearl looks great with all the black trim. I have seen other cars with too much trim, this is not one of them. Aegean blue would be my 2nd choice.
good: It has a trunk latch in the back now! It has wash spray IN the wipers and remote start!
Hopefully, the LED headlights will be an improvement over the worst feature of the 10th generation, (2016-21).
It has leather steering but with a seam right at your finger-tips, and automatic time on the clock if you wish.
Visibility seems better. Warning light if there is something on the back seat when you turn the car off.
bad: It has a smaller glove box than last generation and idle-stop. You have to turn it off each time you drive, or you get an engine start, slight lurch and scrape sensation.
Maybe a software upgrade some time??? Gas gauge is lower resolution and no temp gauge. Interior seems to collect dust better now.
The 2.0L K-Series motor is a gem. No Direct Injection, no turbo, no hybrid. Just a simple Honda 4 banger that will serve you for many years without the complications.
For me, I don't care if a car has a sunroof or not. The Sport trim cars doesn't seem to have this or offer it at all. The biggest reason why I love the Sport trim Civic is the black headliner. I HATE the contrast between the black interior and light gray headliner/pillar trim in the Touring and other trim levels. I think the Sport is the only one out of all the trims levels that offer the black headliner as standard.
The sport looks like the si and has everything I need for sure ! This red one REALLY ! Looks like the si for sure and that’s a good thing . I love it !
I'm in canada and the sport here is a step up from the American version, the sport in the states is below the ex but the canadian is a step above the ex, example my 2024 has a moon roof and turning lights on my mirrors, why the difference?
Sport level = no moonroof, no seat warmers, no dual climate zone…. Not even equipped with SXM.
Cant you get a 6 speed manual VS the CVT? 2023 the manual is available
Yes, '22-'24 is our last chance to get one on non Si/Type-R variants before the '25 refresh 😢
When y’all crank does the blue temp light stay on for about 15 seconds ? Is this an issue ?
Over engineered golf cart 😏
Those american styled sedan stoplights are awful, the hatchback has much better rear end.
You think it offers more than the Hyundai Elantra SEL? 14:55...most of those are found in the Elantra SEL at a price point of $25K. Including heated seats and a 10.25" infotainment screen. Reliability is another story...
The only thing is yes elantras are good with warranty but had lots of problems with blown up engines
From an on-road perspective the Civic is a better daily. The Elantra is certainly more tech driven and cutting edge, I just don't think the 2 liter with the IVT is that great of a pairing although I'm not too crazy about the CVT for the Civic either.
What has me sold on the Civic is the chassis and platform especially under $30k. With the Elantra, knowing you can get a DCT with the N-Line just incentivizes to spend a little extra. But reliability will ultimately be what sways a shopper at this price point.
@@BostonAutoBlogMakes sense!! Appreciate the feedback, was genuinely curious
I wouldn't touch Elantra right now. All sorts of issues. They look nice, but it isn't worth the risk of the engine failing prematurely
The Hyundais are junk
I don't care about the trim. I'm instructed because it has a K20 and 6 speed.
I purchased the 2023 Honda Civic touring. It was a very good deal but you’re still gonna pay more than the retail price with that being said remember you will pay for what you get.
Honda civic ❤
Well mine drives like a van. Maybe they left in the spring packing blocks. Probably the wheels. My 21 Corolla drove comphy.
You might look at the tire pressure.
Sometimes they deliver and it's way off.
At this price point im really struggling between Honda Civic Sport vs Nissam Sentra SR/SR premium
U kidding?? Do not get sentra… nissans are garbage cheap crap
Very interested in a new one of these 2024 models. Can anybody tell me how these handle winter weather and snow?
Which bar is the gas bar?? 8:18
Bottom one
I had 8200 equity in my 20 Fit EX. I had a 19 accord touring hybrid I had to sell in my divorce. I wanted a accord ex for 23. My car insurance was going to go up by 445 for 6 months. The Civic was 440 more over 6 months. The lowest at 235 more was the HRV. Accords and Civics are stolen more and very expensive to repair. I bought a 24 HRV EXL blind spot just on the cheaper insurance. I paid 29K, no mark ups, put 2K more down. My Fit was 330. My HRV is 342 a month. I financed 20500. Don’t over pay for a car or insurance. I really wanted another accord but not paying that more for insurance.
I'd shop around for sure. As for it being the top 2 most stolen, it seems that is true for the decade old civics and accords. I am interested though when you say expensive to repair.
Still no blind spot monitors, they removed the fog lights and added the crap auto off stop….
Sucks the back seat doesn’t have a fold down arm rest / cup holder, and no back air vents….
You should have use the lane keep assist it’s so nice
Can anyone tell me if the 2024 Civic Sport drivers seat is comfortable or hard ? Thank you
Super comfortable
@@josiahkliment3544 What year do you have and how long have you been driving it ?
Comfy
It's a very nice car, but I'm waiting for a stronger automatic engine, the last few years have all been 2.0 158 hp
Probably not going to see a higher hp engine since most manufacturers are going electric
the 2.0 NA engine is a tank. It will long outlast the turbo engine.
Me gusta honda civic wendy

Can’t call something sport if it doesn’t have a manual transmission

Bad tbh , it's not all wheel drive but I mean the tires are huge
Both look and price
Not to keen on the cvt trannny but oh well it’s gonna be like my 87 Honda 250 elite scooter so it’s all good I’m sure all companies are gonna go to it in few years anyways but it gets the job done for what I need which is work and home and a few things around town, prolly not the best road trip car but how many people take road trips anymore these days anyways lol. Nice looking car that won’t break you.
30,000 dollars?what!?
I don't know if you have shopped for cars lately, but this is what it is. Around me Civic Sports go for 27K and I bought one. That market price is because people still want cars not SUVS or trucks and no one makes "affordable" cars anymore except Honda, Toyota and Mazda. The Civic sport is really a nice car, not perfect but good on gas, handles well and is fun to drive and looks great.
Here start price is 42.000 euro ,after ,you must contracting the price 😅
I agree it is a good car, but let's face it pretty much any car with a CVT is not engaging to drive ....
I disagree
@@thumperbangin2000 Of course. We are all entitled to our own opinion. Liking or disliking cars or transmissions is purely subjective. I put transmissions in this order from like to dislike; Manual transmission, traditional automatic transmission, Dual Clutch Transmission, eCVT that is in most hybrids and then CVT. But really I only truly enjoy driving a manual. Your likes are different, which is fine.
The new Civic is a great car. However, I believe you get a lot more with the Mazda3 hatchback for the money. The sport trim for the mazda costs about the same as the civic, but it has 189 HP compared to the civic's 156 HP. It also has full leatherette seats and a premium interior. Mazda is still very reliable and the 3 hatchback looks a lot better in my opinion.
Insane Honda Civic.
Some of the new Honda Civic engines are leaking oil at 5000 miles. The Honda Civic is too small and it might be fun to drive if you have the SI but in my humble opinion, get yourself the last generation Honda accord with the 2 L turbo engine.
i have 2024 civic sport bought 1 month ago , was disappointed , the seat is bad , hurt my back after driving daily
@Mangteban7086-- You're just a weak person with a weak back.
are you going to keep it ? I test drove one but didn’t pay attention to the seats. Just went to Car Max and sat in a couple and noticed the seats are hard
Mazda 3 sport sedan is cheaper and comes with an AT instead of a CVT. Come on Honda, bring back the AT. Mazda also give you full LED taillight/breaklight which includes the turn signal and backup lights, heated mirrors with turn signal and standard blind spot/cross traffic alert. If Mazda could do it, why not Honda? How much more would it cost you?
I just sold my 2022 Honda Civic Sport. I put 41000 miles on it. The worst thing about the Civic Sport is that it is very loud at highway speeds. The low profile tires provide a rough ride and a lot of road noise. I am now driving a 2024 Camry and the difference in ride and road noise is amazing
@Gordon buss1476--You disliked the Honda so much you put 41000 miles on it. Right ......and you even had the gall to leave a comment. I feel sorry for your Toyota.

Wow a normal and sleek looking Honda sedan for 2024?! Too bad the embarrassment Accord can't do the same! The Camry is destroying the Accord thru design and looks and by 2025 it will be even worse for the Accord! Honda will never catch up. Have you seen what the 2025 Toyota Camry looks like??!! It is stunning!!! Do you remember the 2009 Dodge Durango and how absolutely awful the design was? That's where the 2023 Accord is at. The 2023 Accord is that car that the boys compare to an ugly chick. They ask each other if they would sleep with her. And they all say: only if i was drunk enough. That's the same for the 2023 Accord. I can only like that model if i was drunk enough to look at it.
The 2025 Camry is the same body style as the current generation. They just changed the front and back end. Look at it from the side and it is the same. They should have totally changed it for the new generation. The old body style is tired.
@@Ken-v2b6b I’m just comparing the Camry after the new 23 Accord and it is looking really good. I think Honda really got the design great from 2013-2022. After 2023 it turned into a complete dump. Honda is bowing to the global W. Agenda crap. It’s sad to see a good company go to crap. And the Camry still has a V-6 and they also offer a 4 cylinder AWD. Hopefully Dodge doesn’t turn the Charger into a 4 cylinder hybrid. If that happens, then you know we’re all fuked lol. Everyone can calm down. Miami will be ok and Antarctica will be okay too. 🤣
These people are lunatics!
Just in West Texas alone we still have over 200 years left in oil. And that doesn’t even count North Dakota and the Alaskan pipeline! The US alone could have over 500 years left in oil! And we should use every last drop!!

@@williamharris803 can i ask did you pay cash ? Or how did you get it that low Im trying to buy my first new car
@otrbron5936 I live in Dallas, Fort Worth, Texas, and there are at least 15 to 20 dealers in a 50-mile radius. At the time a 2024 Civic Sport was coming from the manufacturer at 26,945. From my research, the dealer should be able to discount the vehicle up to 5% off the MSRP given that the vehicle has no add-on assesories from the manufacturer or the dealer, especially the dealer. Dealers will take delivery of the vehicle and do what they call dealer add on and double charge and pass it on to the buyer. The key is to not let the dealer add any upgrades that you can later do for way less than they can. Example: Tinted windows, care packages, wheel locks, pin strips, things you can get done yourself. Ask them what they will have coming in off the truck and find out the MSRP and negotiate that price and tell them you don't want dealer add on. It want be easy, but they can sell you a 2024 Civic under the MSRP. Even if you get 2% or 2.5% or even at MSRP you are getting a good deal. Try not to buy way above MSRP. Good luck brother
How is this 2024? This car is 2 years old.
💀model 2024
The sad thing is since i bought my 2020 sport (10th gen) they have increased the price 25% and removed many things off the (11th gen). No longer has a trunk light, back seat went to one piece flip vs the 60/40 split, guages are now ½ analog vs the 10th gen full digital, no longer has fog lights or a USB in the center console and they basically glued an Ipad to the dash for the display vs the 10th gen integrated into the dash. Has same powertrain but added the stupid start/stop to the 11th gen. 10th gen also had a sportier looking center exit exhaust. Mirrors were color matched with black accents which looked more refined. The only improvment i see is the LED headlights. 10th gen looked way sportier and sleek. This was a step backwards.
It doesn’t have a honda sensing, lane keep assist, brake assist, etc.?
Debating this or a hyundai elantra N😭
Meh, still a 4 door. Blah
**Man** you're smoking grass if you think the Civic Sport outmatches an Elantra lol. Preferably a Kia Forte GT-Line which is the exact same price, not only do you get better fuel economy, but you get more power and quicker acceleration + 10 years 100k powertrain warranty. You also get *leather* bolstered seats that are 3-stage heated and cooled, the driver's is 10-way power adjustable, you also get a far more intuitive 10.25 in. screen where the Civic is only 7 in. 😂 what else man, dual-zone climate control, wireless charging, rear A/C vents, rear USB, and full-on highway driving assist... a sportier flat-bottom steering wheel, premium *Harman Kardon* sound system, electric assist trunk that will fully open on approach, also REAR cupholders.
I appreciate that there are people who want to buy Civic's and make the market competitive but I can't understand the "hard to look anywhere else" claim when the Forte GT-Line offers exponentially more for 26k.
*"embarrassing competitors at this price point..."*
The GT-Line has 147 hp and 132 lb ft of torque which is less than the Civic Sport. Has no manual option like the Sport unless you go with the GT.
Kia doesn’t offer leather seats. Kia’s SynTex upholstery is a leatherette material.
Some of the features you’re referencing like the heated and ventilated seats, wireless phone charger, and 10 way driver seat are all optional and would then place the GT-Line at the same price point as the Civic EX which has the better 1.5l 4 cylinder and similar features to a well equipped GT-Line.
Even if we’re going to compare a GT to the Si, the Civic is a far better driver’s car than what Kia is offering and the sales are a reflection of that.
Yes! To top all that off, it's not as attractive as the civic
And you nay be replacing the engine at 70K
@@lemoynetaylor5728Definitely agree, I was pretty sold on getting the GT over the civic sport until I saw the GT in person. The GT has a lot more extras but the quality was cheap to me.
