Just got the 2018 version of this EX trim I could say just driving it for 2 days that I am blown away by this car. It exceeded every expectation I had for a compact car. I got the black one and it’s really an upgrade from my Toyota Corolla 2015. 👌🏻

Great video, Mike! I recently reviewed a 2016/2017 Honda Civic Sedan EX-T. I really enjoyed the updated interior on the Civic. I am also a huge fan of the hatchback style. I actually had a hard time distinguishing the sedan and the hatch apart at the dealer. Also, the seats in the Civic are so comfortable! The seats feel more comfortable than some luxury vehicles! I cannot wait to review a Civic hatchback! Keep up the great work, Mike! -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"
I wish companies would build in the capacity for an interchangable console - I would pay extra for actual buttons. The electronics could be the base but if you wanted buttons they could just swap it out and re-connect the wiring. It is much safer to have physical buttons because you don't have to take your eyes off the road to look at the screen
Ditto. The new CR-V at least ditched the volume slider for a knob. I'll beg and plead for the Civic's system to be swapped for a CR-V's when I get serious about buying.
Should I get the EX or the Sport? Don't have the cash for the sport touring but I LOVE the dual exhaust on the sport along with the 18 inch alloys. But I hate to be missing out on the push to start, moonroof, and apple CarPlay. What should I do?!
Have you experienced the automatic lock of the car is a hit or miss? Sometimes it locks automatically based on your preset when you forgot to lock your car and sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know if its just my car or the same for all?
Only thing i worry about with this model is the felt seats. Does anyone know if the material is easy to clean. I would hate for the m to get stained. Also how’s reliability on this? I’m looking to use this for Uber. Not sure if it’s the best choice for this? I could obviously just get a Prius but I won’t stoop down to that level. I just can’t haha.
I have the 2016 EX Black. Awesome Car..just be aware its BLACK in color so lots of washing, waxes, and detailing..so keep in mind...wish they offered some more colors in this class
Nice video. You went over all the details. The only thing I would suggest is to choose a better place. It is too sunny and it is making me hot just by watching. Lol Thanks man!
Hi Attila - The Honda Civic Hatchback can be ordered with the Sensing Package as an option and will be a standard feature on the Touring Trim. You can see a full breakdown or "trim walk" for this awesome car here: www.eastcoastcars.net/honda-civic-hatchback-for-sale-in-myrtle-beach.htm
I can't speak for what Honda is going to do outside the US but would assume they would included that option as it is something a lot of customer are asking for when they order one. Best of luck!
East Coast Honda Well so many Turkish potential clients of this car is not happy but we are unable to advise this to Japanese Head Office unfortunately so are you able to reach them and inform that we require Sensing as optional in this car and we are able to pay extra money to them and i am talking about thousands clients not only 10 or 100 people.
I feel your pain Sir. We pleaded with them to not remove the traditional volume knob as our elderly clients have a hard time with that function but they did not head our warning. Now, enough customers have complained on their surveys that they are bringing the traditional volume knob back on the 2017 CR-V
I don't know if it's just me, but I've had this exact version of the hatch for a little over a year, and the auto unlock touch feature for the driver, passenger and hatch doors stopped working.
We dig your videos - wish you could hook up with Alex on Autos and you do the nuts and bolts and he does the driver review or..you start driving and sharing your thoughts!
What is the ground clearance like? I have "deadly" speed bumps in my neighborhood and I want to know if they would pose an issue or they should be fine. Also, how good is the visibility out the rear actually? Everyone says that it is ok, but can you also take off the back middle headrest just in case? Both my parents are fairly short, and seeing through the rear is pretty important
I have a a question: I just bought a 2018 Honda Civic hatchback EX, which is my first Civic car. The CVT takes longer to switch from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Is that normal? I had a Camry it switched the gears smoothly and I could feel it...
Anyone having this issue with Maps in Apple Carplay? When I have Apple Maps on and music playing, when Siri gives directions, my music is not lowered. So Siri and my music are the same volume which makes directions hard to hear. I have to resort to just play my music really low to be able to hear Siri. This isn't an issue when I use Bluetooth (music volume is lowered whenever Siri says directions). Any help?
Question: The video title (and the window sticker) say this is an "EX" but I see it has heated seats. I thought you could ONLY get heated seats with the "EX-L" or above, is that true? Is this really an EX-L or do the EX's actually come with heated seats?
Hi Shahariar - Yes, The Honda Civic Hatchback can be ordered with the Sensing Package as an option and will be a standard feature on the Touring Trim. You can see a full breakdown or "trim walk" for this awesome car here: www.eastcoastcars.net/honda-civic-hatchback-for-sale-in-myrtle-beach.htm

Oh, good review! But I stil have some questions I wonder if there are remote engine start and remote power opening cargo on honda civic ex 2017? What is the max distance for remote start engine And what about steering wheel heating? Doe's this car have it? We have cold winters here, so it's neccessary to have some warm features
4K doesn't mean as much when the actual video quality isn't so hot. Maybe you need a new camera or just to adjust manual settings, feels like you shot this on a cell phone
I use the same camera in my other videos. You are the only person I had complain about video quality... are you sure you have the TH-cam setting set to 4k? Does your computer and monitor even have 4k capability?
Paul Heo aftermarket probably, but all models with intelligent access come standard push button. If you want a key you'll have to go sport or below Edit: i know this because I researched for months before buying my 16 Sedan Touring and just bought an 17 Ex Hatchback.
Hi Julie - we have not had any issues with the Civic so far after Honda fixed the issue with the Piston Ring (recall) which only happened on the very first batch they created. The new Civic has won a lot of awards including a KBB Best Buy and the North American Car of the Year - automobiles.honda.com/awards/
agreed I want to like it...but it just looks to me like a Camaro mated with a Saturn sedan and this was the baby!:-).....I just don't know...have they fixed all the problems they had with the 2016 civic????
Saw it in person....not very impressed. Plus "power" on this car is non existing, you push gas pedal and it's only noise but car doesn't go any faster. Guess higher trim with turbo might be better.
I just purchased a Honda Civic hatch EX and I love it. Your video taught me a couple of things I didn't know. Thank you!
details what it taught u new

I want this car so badly.
I normally watch Redline reviews, which is very good. Your site is as good or maybe better. Very impressed. Very thorough review, hats off.
Great review man I want a civic hatchback so practical and reliable keep up the great reviews!
Might as well just buy the civic hatchback. Was planning to buy Mazda 3 hatchback... Honda engines are more reliable...

"In-Depth" is right. Thanks for the tip about the low range on the transmission. I hadn't thought about how CVTs should be used in the mountains.
Looks pretty cool all blacked out, great review mike!
N&T Auto Reviews have you ever seen a real sedan
What kind of question is that haha
N&T Auto Reviews a good one
uahhhhh this intro is fantastic!!!!!
very nice mike!!!
Fantastic video, great work
Here because I’m manifesting getting this car for my birthday March 2021 🥰
Did you get it? 😃
I think they should have still included a the actual buttons on the center stack for people who don't want to use the touch screen.
I wish companies would build in the capacity for an interchangable console - I would pay extra for actual buttons. The electronics could be the base but if you wanted buttons they could just swap it out and re-connect the wiring. It is much safer to have physical buttons because you don't have to take your eyes off the road to look at the screen

Get both. Lol
What’d ya get?
Connor Carto push to start & moonroof are things you will wish you had if you don’t get them.
chocolatewheelchair I ended up not being able to afford the EX hatch so I got the EX Sedan. Still love it.
Thanks for the review!
Very cool car. Great video as always.

Thanks man!
Intake is actually in the front...it's the long hose with the airbox on the end of it. Sort of resembles an intake....
Fresh air goes thru the turbo (connected to the exhaust in the front) before it makes it's way to the intake in the back.
Awesome Review!!! Thank you!
Busted listening to Radio Disney!!! Hahaha
Good reviewer and a good car!
Thank you :)
They should make this car bigger. oh wait, that's the Pilot. Or just a better looking crosstour.
Gosh I want this car so bad and what's the name of the song from the beginning
Is it difficult to maintain this color for civics. I would imagine it is but I would like to know if it’s any different for some reason.
Very nice car and welldone Mike :) so does not HB have Sensing ?

East Coast Honda Well i know but i live in Turkey not in USA so do you think Honda will bring Sensing to Turkish market too ?
I can't speak for what Honda is going to do outside the US but would assume they would included that option as it is something a lot of customer are asking for when they order one. Best of luck!

A CVT doesn't have gears. That is why it feels different.

EX Hatch has heated seats standard in 2017 models.
The window sticker shows all the standard equipment at 7:28
on honda's website it says heated front seats are only available on the EX-L model??
Is honda sensing compatible to the hatch?

does the car come with that white pinstripe along the vehicle or is that something they put on after? im honestly not a big fan of that
It was a dealer add for the customer.

What do you guys recommend the 2017 Honda hatchback or the 2017 lexus ct200h f sport
Sebastian Torres 14 never trust a Honda if it's an automatic

Xavier Pawa Honda has a pretty good manual transmission
Oh, good review!
But I stil have some questions
I wonder if there are remote engine start and remote power opening cargo on honda civic ex 2017?
What is the max distance for remote start engine
And what about steering wheel heating? Doe's this car have it? We have cold winters here, so it's neccessary to have some warm features
Can you use the swipe gesture on the steering wheel volume button on the hatch model of this car?
Not a bad first car by any means if you have the money saved up.

Jonathan Lozada reg
is there a way to get the civic hatchback EX with key ignition? Really not a fan of button starts.. :/ Anybody know??
Paul Heo I hate this car but you can switch a button to a key ignition just look it up may cost a few but that's what you like:)
click bait police ty^^ I'll ask around when I'm thinking of buying it next week
Paul Heo aftermarket probably, but all models with intelligent access come standard push button. If you want a key you'll have to go sport or below
Edit: i know this because I researched for months before buying my 16 Sedan Touring and just bought an 17 Ex Hatchback.
Not on the EX trim. You have to downgrade to the sport trim to get a physical key.

I'm trying to purchase this car sonic gray color in EX trim, but there is none in San Diego.
Andy Adam nice choice. Did you get it?
Would this be almost the same as the ext sedan ?
Question is it normal for that sound on motor?
Hatch doesn't open with key. Just unlocks it.. I just got one today.
thanks
Am I the only one that heard him say "Bitch seat"?

Is this vehicle a VTEC?
no
wait it comes in an automatic?! Honda knew about my bad left knee. lol
ex And up
christian mbabazi all trims have auto available. LX and Sport trim it's optional!
There is no higher than ex for a civic lol. Ex and Si are both top trims but one is for cruising while the other is for abusing lol.
jmanyes wrong? sport touring and Ex-L are both fighter trim levels on the civic.
Turns out that the civic hatch and coupe are about the same length
No tire pressure monitor ?
Is this still vtec?
nice
Ziad Tareq nope
Has Honda already fixed the faulty brakes?
Consumers report does not recommend buying the civic by low scores in reliability

how many fuel caps did you loose in your life!? talk at the subject not science fiction

as same as american cars ?
