A very cool looking car but unfortunately my "Fast and Furious" days are long gone in the rear view mirror of old age. Now I'm just "Slow and Mildly Irritated".
Ha! Sorry we're just now seeing this, J High. We agree that those feelings do tend to kick in more often than not. However, the right car every once in a while earns us irritated looks from our spouses. Thanks for watching!
I have the sport manual, and while it's missing all of these goodies, like the leathers and the driver's assist package, I think the Sport is the one to get, it's a GREAT value.
We agree, FlyinGato. The Sport makes a good car even better. Thanks for watching!
You guys have an awesome channel! I now have a type R, check out my stuff :)
Thank you, FlyinGato!
Ayee its FlyinGato, you right the 10th gen civics are a blast.
What up DJ!
I, too, was looking forward to a hatchback Si version. Not only is that a disappointment that there won't be a hatchback Si, but the sedan Si that I tested was really not that special. For the money, you might as well just go with this hatch Sport Touring. You get all the creature comforts you need. The CVT is so much better than I was expecting, and the adaptive cruise control isn't available on the Si because of the manual transmission. Not enough reason to get an Si.
We're due to test an Si in the coming weeks. We do admit, we're looking forward to it, but only time will tell if it's worth the hype. At any rate, it'll be the first manual Civic of this generation that we'll get to drive. As you mentioned, the CVT was much better than we were expecting, but the manual will bring about a different vibe. We appreciate your comments, chethehoss. Thanks for watching!
chetthehoss why would they make a hatchback Si when they already have a hatchback sport. Si coupe and sedan. And. The Type R. That would just be too many models being manufactured.
I'm one for more practicality, so I would normally opt for a hatchback, and I tend to prefer the sportier nature of the Si. I'm only speaking for myself of course. I don't fancy paying $40,000 + for a Type R where I'm from, especially considering that many of its competitors also feature all-wheel drive for the same price.
chetthehoss then the hatchback sport in a manual transmission is the way to go... if it isn't fast enough for you you could always tune it with the hondata flashpro
The Honda Sensing Suite could have been included in the Si - It is available with both CVT and Manual Transmissions in some trims of the European-Spec Civic (As well as the Canadian-Spec Sport Touring Hatch 6MT)
You can upgrade thé fog lights to LEDs .... At the dealership ... ✌
im dying to get my hands on one of these. 😓😓
Cool review brother, we've waited a year for the hatch to arrive in New Zealand, pick ours up next month, RS spec (similar to youre Sport Touring) and in Sonic Gray. Keep up the good work.
Sorry for the delayed reply, Mark Atkinson, but thank you very much for the kind words. And thanks for watching, too!
Is this the R line or no? There's a 2017 Honda Civic EX I'm interested in, but it's 22,900, kinda pricey when it's already a 5yr old car, but it only has 44k mi, would anyone say this is worth or not worth the price with the current car market?
looks great, however I am looking to buy this car for Uber and Lyft on the side as my daily driver. Does anyone know how this car is from a reliability stand point? Is maintenance cost low and is mpg actually what is advertised? A gas guzzler that needs maintained often is that last thing any Uber driver wants to have.
Brah I love your attitude!! I have learned so much from you . look me up on fb so you can see my success from watching you on TH-cam brah
Sorry for the delayed reply, but happy we could help, Gino Paunetto. Keep doing your thing at Coggin (if that's you)!
Great road test Chris, on the Honda Civic... I like the color combo also... Keep up the good reviews as i watch all of them.
Sorry for the delayed reply, John L, but thank you for the kind words. We truly appreciate them. Thanks for watching, too!
Almost 30k for a civic? Last time I bought a civic was back in 07 it was an 2007 ex it was the top of the line back then and it was 17.5k. at 30k you are touching sport car territory such as a 370z no honda you cant do that
bro thanks for this review,awesome car
It is a really nice car, ROBERT SANCHEZ. Thanks for watching!
***** bro im between the sedan or the hatchback,but im a single guy so i really dont need lots of space,which car u think its better for me?
Hi, ROBERT SANCHEZ. As a single guy, we'd still recommend the hatchback. The sedan is a great car, but we like the styling of the hatchback better with those twin pipes coming out the back. Plus, you never know when you might buy that big 4k tv (or whatever large wishlist item) you've always wanted. With the hatchback, you can get it home without paying for delivery! Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
If you dont own or have access to a truck, the hatch could more more bulky items than a sedan.
Thank you, Robert Sanchez!
looks more 2006 stylish
wish list; panoramic sunroof, power lift back (hands free), blind spot warning, leather delete.
Can you review the 2018 camry xse as well?
That's been a common request as of late, Nam HT Nguyen. Hopefully, Toyota will send us one soon. Thanks for watching!
If you're 5'9" the rear starts to feel cramped, and you will feel your head hitting the headliner.
This car looks especially aggressive in the polished metal exterior color !
the hatchback si is called Type R
Yeah, we guess so, J Z. Thanks for watching!
Brand new to Hondas, but my wife and I just chose a 2017 in this model for our new "replacement car" and we're picking it up tomorrow. Beyond excited, it looks like a really sweet ride.
Nice. We think you'll be happy. Thanks for watching, Randy Miller III!
In my country don't have anything that you said.
Wooooo!!! Now that’s how you get attention of folks man. Lol I love that intro
Excellent presentation with attention towards both positive and negative points. Well done!
Thank you, Staben22. We appreciate your comments. Thanks for watching!
You'd think that the top of the line sport touring hatch would be faster than their sedan...I'll prob stick to the modest looking sedan lol
We were surprised, too. Thanks for watching, theunmaskedninja!
the one thing I don't like about this vehicle is that I don't get anywhere near the gas milage they claim it gets. I get roughly 24 city and 30 highway
That just means your having fun with it, Kevin Luma. Thanks for watching!
when you get one plz take note if you feel the torque bump
hey chris, what do you prefer more? practicality of the hatchback touring or the performance of the new type r.
Hi, Nikko Mabatid. I'd personally take the Type R, but I'm nutty about performance and can be irresponsible in that way. LOL Obviously, this is without experiencing the Type R yet. Once we get a chance to test it, I'll be able to give a truer answer, but for now in my head... Type R all the way! We appreciate you watching, Nikko! Chris
Nice car , silly and showy driver !
I would NEVER spend 30k on a civic
artofgarduno on which car would you spend 30 k ?
Japanese engeneering made to last. Man, I just love this egean blue colour!!!
It does look nice, Andras. Thanks for watching!
looking forward to you critiquing the si
Did you get a chance to see it, EveryThingAutomotive ETA? If not, here it is. th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=eBr-H950ND4
AutoAcademics I sure enough missed it! Thank you
It will come with a 160bhp 1.6lt diesel engine!!!
melcoras 185
What is model rims? 18 inch kratos or 17inch
These are actually the stock rims, Sefa Tosun. They do look pretty decent, though. Thanks for watching!
I do not want cvt.
Automatic... come at me bro
Civic on Steroid..
Did you do 0 to 60 on Sport mode or just normal mode.
Due to our lack of proper testing instruments, Kaido D, we used Motor Trends' results from April 11, 2017. Chris preferred the car in Sport mode most of the time, though. Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
For $29k I can get a WRX that's awd with 262hp and with quad exhaust!
DrWeeWe wrx is still dual exhaust..just quad tops
tips*
Cool story bro. The wrx not in same class. Less gas mileage, less practically, and ugly interior. The wrx is depreciating very fast
A 29k WRX has 0 creature comforts in comparison. You'll get there faster, but in a base trim car
You need to test the Si and Type R now, Great review though
Got the Si done: th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=eBr-H950ND4 Stay tuned. A little birdie told us the last one is likely on the way. Thanks for watching, ssr1680!
YES COACH!!!
another great review.. I've been waiting for a good review or this car
Thank you, Jean Jacques. We appreciate the kind words!
You listen to Travis Scott?
Just happened to be on Sirius satellite radio. Although Butterfly Effect is catchy. Thanks for watching, Zaki Sadiqi!
this car looks sick
It's a nice car, Madison Hang. Thanks for watching!
Carlton?
Ha! First time we've heard that this month. We'll be sure to tell Chris....again.
Hezekiah Walker tho 🙌🏼
Ha! Yup. Thanks for watching, Johnny Perez!
Too each there own anything with a cvt motor is trash I don't care how smooth it feels. I will gladly keep my 2017 si over a crappy cvt anyday if you are going for the hatchback at least get the manual transmission version.
Jrivera The CVT in the hatchback will definitely outrun the si. Already seen it at the track!
Mitch Myers sure pal LOL
Jrivera Unfortunately, Honda didnt install the good gearbox in the 2017 si, like the one in the new Type R. Civic si car weight is on the heavy side compared to the Civic Hatchback. The CVT is also reprogrammable, great for its smooth acceleration at the top end rpm range. Maybe not as fun to drive around as a manual, but beware, CVT's today have strength and reliability on thier side. And no WORN gears to worry about. Just beware, like I said, witnessed this at the track. The 2017 hatchback sport touring with the CVT trashed the 2017 si coupe! Who new!
I would get a civic hatch with the manual but Hondas stupid employees thought we wouldn't want a sport touring with the manual. Now I'm stuck with the cvt which wasn't too bad with the paddles
Jrivera aye I got a Civic Si too and I love it!
$29000,,,really ,,,,for that,,,civic ,,think u got a lot choose for that $$$
That's almost Type R territory
Nice review!
Thank you, Wilijan Mkd!
Great review!
Been a while, buildmorefarms100. Nice to hear from you and as always we appreciate you!
I would buy it but the 2 let downs were that cvt and lack of bsm. Lanewatch is stupid, outdated and useless vs a read blind spot monitoring system. No real geared auto is a letdown since that cvt makes it feel like the engine is gonna explode
Did you see our review of the Si, Tech Defender? That might be more to your liking. If not, check it out! th-cam.com/users/edit?o=U&video_id=eBr-H950ND4 Thanks for watching!
Tech Defender I have this exact same model. And from a car guy who also owns a Chevrolet Camaro, this Honda is awsome! The CVT is definitely more refined and more powerful than I thought.
And I have owned every automatic from GM like the Turbo Hydro 350s, 400s,T700R, 4L60E, 4L80 and some Dodge Torqueflight trannys. No lag in 1st and 2nd gear. And matted with the turbo, its fun! And Lanewatch has saved my ass few times! Honda is definitely the front runner in this class.
Mitch Myers I thought about it (since I was comparing with mazda3) and I decided to get the civic and deal with looking behind my left shoulder. The cvt wasn't as bad as I thought it was especially with the paddles and fake gear shifts.
Honda Civic front end look like Ford Fusion and rear end look like Prius and CHR copycat that Honda always do copy Toyota. Still ugly Honda ever and plus Honda CRV look like Volvo SUV Honda also copy Volvo too.
WRXIMPREZARED2018 SUBARU new civic was out before the CHR just fyi
This car is ugly! Honda should fire the design team.
Phil dude you drive a 99 corrolla... that's a grandpa car. How r u even in a position to critique lmao
Well,all the other cars I owned in between including a Civic didn't last as long.
Phil I like toyotas my parents own 3 of them. All I'm saying is there isn't any need to critique a car that is by far better than yours lol
We are talking about looks here...this car will not win beauty contests.
Phil beauty is in the eye of the beholder... I'm sure you've received tons of compliments on your corolla
