- 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback review by The Straight Pipes. The 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring is putting down 180 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque from a 1.5L Turbo 4 cylinder. At $35,000 CAD, would you take it over the Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Hyundai Elantra, Nissan Altima?

Can u do review of the Mazda3 hatchback non turbo vs civic hatchback great vid !
looks like stingers back
Sedan 100%! Hatch is ugly! In my opinion ;-)
Wait, is TrueCar just for American viewers?
Is Honda now the direct competition of Hyundai Elantra? Both have poor designs everywhere.
Interiors are Great though.
When I was shopping for cars, I found the box test really useful to understand how practical a vehicle could be. I would really hate to see you all remove a cargo measure from your reviews.
Agreed. That would be a huge mistake.
Yeah when you look for cargo space it gives you cubic feet and that is much less useful than actual boxes that someone would use
Then I find it funny that Jakub said he'd get the hatch because of the box test lmao
Yes, agreed. Box test was how I found you guys and thought it was such a perfect test of every car. Please don't get rid of it for a decibel test, most people don't care about decibels. Box test is super practical.
You don’t buy this kind of car for cargo space. Buy a truck or big suv if you want that
Please don’t get rid of the box test! It’s so helpful!!
I compare car volumes by this box test.
It is much better test than toilet paper.
@@ChadWilson it's a consistent metric that's repeated everytime.
they said only on some cars it doesnt make sense to have a box test for like a supra or a mr2 when wed like to know more how much vrooms it makes
I do like the box test but there are other resources.
The box test is LITERALLY what sold my mom on her Forester and the Rav4 when she had it in her options. It's such a useful test, and for EVs can definitely be useful especially with the Frunks. Hopefully it sticks around because it's such a unique measurement that makes so much sense.
Yes we care about cargo we’re some busy productive people!
Anne Perkins!
You could watch Bjorn Nyland's banana box videos.
You guys just do killer reviews! The balance between information, cinematics, and entertainment is crazy good!
Thanks buddy! 🥰
I know you mentioned it before, but it would be informational if you mention city and highway mpg. It’s literally less than ten seconds to do so and it saves us from having to look it up
ChrisFix and TheStraightPipes collab?!!!!
I appreciate the decibel test as a car guy but the box test helps with gauging practicality as a consumer, I vote keep the box test!!!
Decibel test should be done inside the car in both city n hiway driving not behind the muffler
@@jmmartian6139 and with both manual and cvt to show how each tranny makes it sound
The box test is far more important than the external decibel test. In fact, the box test is one of the best things you do, since no one else online provides such a great cross-shoppable/comparable method of measuring real-world storage capacity. If you're going to test decibels, it needs to be the interior decibels, since that's what you live with as the driver every day. Unless you're talking about an exotic supercar or a muscle car, no one cares how the car sounds from the outside.
Keep the box test forever. Apply the decibel test to the interior, not the exterior.
Agreed 100%
Yep, that's exactly it.
Tom Voelk does a TP test on his reviews for many years. He's got an useful channel there as well.
This 💯💯💯💯
Please keep the box test for cars that regular people can afford, its more practical.
Do the decibel test for crazy cars where you know we are just watching for entertainment.
Man I love your guys videos. I love the lighting, the music, the production. It’s like I’m watching my two friends going for a drive.
Hi from New Brunswick!
Keep the box test please, more informative than the decibel test.
Keep the box test for the practical cars please. Also it's pretty jokes to see mid engine cars barely be able to fit one box 😂
No don't guys keep up the box test for every car ! This baby thunderlights can't even get the reason of the box test ! He is a joke ! And he can't even make a senseful sentence , "also it's pretty jokes "??????? Bruh wt u trying to say ????
It's a totally practical car.
@@yunusm4208 BrUh wHaT aRe YoU TrYiNg tO sAy?!?!?
What planet are you from? A Honda Civic is literally the most practical car you can buy.
@@yunusm4208 "And he can't even make a senseful sentence" ...right
My calling! hey guys acoustic test engineer here. love the addition of the sound pressure level test. Glad you guys are not using a cellphone mic for the test, a dedicated microphone is 100x better. overall the metric is ok (so long as the same person is doing the 4 steps away) you guys seem to be measuring peak sound level so anything with crackles and pops (the fun stuff) might be in the 98-100dB range and isnt really comparable. ,little nerdy sound fact: Decibels are actually a logarithmic ratio and thus unitless. you can have decibels for sound, velocity, voltage, acceleration anything really. but the key little nerd fact for what your measuring is that every doubling of distance is only -3dB. so if you went 8 steps away from the Honda element, you would get a measurement of 74dB... 16 steps 71dB. also keep an eye on whats behind the camera and mic because you might get a false reading if there is a wall behind you due to reflection. Love the content keep of the great work and thank you for the little soap box for an acoustic rant
Please keep the box test! It's probably one of the most practical measures of volume rather than trying to compare spec sheets. Plus it's pretty on brand with you guys along with the visor test.
Can I just say, as an owner of the last gen civic hatch, I wish they kept the 1.5T power plant through all the trims. I don't appreciate needing to spend 35K on a hatch just for that. I have the regular Sport in manual (Not sport touring) and it was the sweet spot for last gen. This gen at the same price I would only walk away with the anemic 2.0 NA :(
the editing in that winter tire braking test made me wince like they were expecting the second caddy to stop haha
It definitely fooled me. "whoa whoa WHOA... 😐"
They had us at first half. Not gonna lie
Wtf is a "caddy"?
@@brixan... Caddy is Cadillac. Which is what the cars were in the snow tire braking clip.
@@chimmychongaz ohhhh
3:50 the brake test on snow made me hold my breathe. I totally thought they were gonna collide
Subscribe for good after effects 😜
Me too! It freaked me out until the car turned into a ghost! 😂
I have a 2022 civic touring sedan. Just to touch on a couple points you guys made, the infotainment screen is nice and fast after the car has been on for a while. After a proper cold start it is so laggy.. it literally does take a couple minutes before you can actually interact with it.
The gloss black on the dash is no big deal because it’s not something you touch regularly.
Other than that the car has been awesome. It’s such a nice little daily/commuter car. Definitely worth the money I spent. I bought it because of your initial reviews!!
Keep the box test! You're the knly car reviewers who actually do this, and I would say its vital for those want to gauge how practical/versatile a car is. I would place that higher in importance over how loud the car is.
one of the reasons why you guys are the best is the box test!! it’s actually a pretty useful real-world test
Two reviews in one day? Yuri and Jakub are on that grind 💪
yeah I'm honestly wondering when these guys have time to film all these reviews. Not that I'm complaining lol
I'm Yuri, I'm Jakub and we're going for a grind!
@@joek7080 I feel like it's their full time gig at this point for sure. Obviously its difficult and time consuming to film and edit videos (especially at this level of quality) however if you're releasing 2 videos a week and have ~2-3 other days in the week to film, edit, setup new cars to review, etc you can probably create a decent backlog.
@@JahyMoonwalker this is the comment of the day
When I saw the photos leak of this thing, I lost it. It looks so good, that blue is incredible, the wheels, the profile, everything. Just now peeping the interior, I'm really impressed. If I were buying a new car, I'd get the normal sport trim with a manual transmission. Unfortunately, this guy can't afford a new car 😬. Here's to being able to get this dream of a car sooner rather than later 🤞🏻
Reserved my Sport hatch today in boost blue! Very excited based on the reviews I'm seeing. First one to get shipped to my dealership and it had a line of people clamoring for it, luckily I was the first one to show up with a deposit ready to buy
The box test is huge for my decision-making. Please keep!!!
i love the box test and always look forward to it when you guys drop a video, don't get rid of it please!!
im coming back to this video now because i see more and more of these hatches daily and they remind me soo much of my old EG hatchback. Honda knew what they were doing with this design giving it a nod to one of the enthusiasts classics from the 90s.
Box test is super practical. I use that when you guys review cars/ if I'm shopping for a new vehicle. I like it. It should stick around.
Not gonna lie I love my 10th gen with the the 1.5. Great daily driver
Me too.
DA. ...just wondering how well does the heater work at 20 below ??.just hit 77k km's on my 14 civic ex 5 speed. No issues yet 🙂.
@@tonybeef1142 Only problem I've had is water leak from a bad seal and kill my backup camera. Heat works fine and heated seats help.
@@darrensanimalsreptilesfish30
Just hit 76,000 miles on my 2016 Civic Touring sedan, with no issues whatsoever. Nearly 75 miles roundtrip to work and back and it runs like a champ.
@@ivanlowjones 77k on a 17 coupe
Best civic review on YT ! good job on side by side comparison photos
Box test is actually super informative. It’s an informal estimate but it helps us to visualize what we can and can’t fit in there
"Maybe on the 14th gen when they turn it into an SUV"
>Looks at the CR-V 👀
Haha so good
I like my little RD-X. 🤷
They have the HRV in other markets
@@hueything228 it also exists in their market, but the engine is from the 8th/9th gen Civic, and it's starting to look old compared to other Honda products and its competition (maybe except the Chevy "Trailblazer" and Jeep Renegade/compass which were pretty much outdated on arrival).
The North American next gen HRV is likely going to be based on the Civic.
Got one. Sonic Pearl. Love the improvement on the quiet in the interior. Zippy compared to my old 2004 and 2008 Hondas. The stopping and starting of engine is unsettling. You talked about the adding back of tactile controls. I 100% agree that this is great. Haven't hauled anything yet and still only about 240 miles but, so far, so good.
Why is the engine stopping and starting unsettling? Are you having issues with it starting and stopping the engine I mean?
@@kimber80 Oh, nothing like that. I think the unsettling feeling about it stopping and restarting on its own is that its all new technology to me. I'm 56 and this is the first new car I've had in 10 years. I understand the ecological benefit to reducing idling times. I'm confident I will get used to it. Hope this helps.
Oh ok last car I bought was 2014 and it was a 2014 Ford Focus didn't know at the time but Ford really messed those cars up bad. 2014 to 2016 Ford Focus and Ford Fiestas I believe it was Ford Fiestas. Well transmission issues that was the number 1 issue with both vehicles then letters just kept coming I mean everything from distance to empty the miles could be wrong to the door locks being messed up and the doors could pop open on their own. Fast Forward I paid my Ford Focus off May 2021 car has been fine absolutely no problems with it at all I mean it's running just as smooth as a hot knife through butter. Fast Forward to Dec 30th 2021 I smell a burning smell then smoke starts rolling out of the front passenger side air vents. I pull the car over in a wide spot. I just got it put into park when flames started shooting out of the passenger side air vents. I cut the car off take the keys out and get out of the car and get myself very far away from the car. The airbags blew out and up all the glass blew out even the side mirrors the middle console completely melted the automatic gear shifter stick thing melted the metal thing inside of the shifter burnt melted and warped. Trunk flew open by itself and the jack that was in the trunk that came with the car. Never been used never taken out when the gas tank blew it blew the jack out of the trunk and sent it flying up into the front driver seat of the car the firefighters said they had no clue how that happened exactly. So I'm looking at getting a honda and I was really loving the hatchback so I'm just trying to research and find out as much as I possibly can about them. So ty for replying ty so much
@@kimber80 Oh wow! I've been a Honda owner since 1998 and I promise nothing has ever happened like that with any Honda I've ever owned and that's not embellishing. Never really had either the 1998 or 2004 Honda in the shop for anything more than maintenance and maybe a recall or two for minor things. Again, hope this is helpful.
You have been very very helpful I'm going honda from now on!!! lol
Keep doing the box test! It's a super easy way for normal people to understand how much cargo space a car has, and its part of whats sets you guys apart from other motoring journalists
As a video person and frequent road tripper, please keep the box test. It’s the most practical test of a vehicle to see how much stuff it can fit and has helped me figure out what rental car I might need for a location shoot. Leave the decibel test for the fun cars or a super car test
This design is sick! Honda knows what’s up fr. I don’t really like the normal hatchback shape with no trunk space but this looks like a sedan sport hatch. Looks like it’s very well balanced and I love it 🔥
I said the same thing I never like hatchbacks. Just ugly
When I was looking for a car and was learning about the civic, I did not like hatchback because of its big fake vents but really liked that the hatchback has a rear wiper. This gen’s hatchback it really nice and wonder how different the type r will be.
@@Alex-yj9xl I thought the last gens were sooo ugly
@@Alex-yj9xl I think it looks good. 🤷
The type R doesn't look so different from this. Just extra vents for cooling of the larger engine with the bigger turbo, and a bigger wing for more downforce. The coupe isn't coming back, though.
Yo the box test sets your channel apart, don't get rid of it! It's been very useful when car shopping!
Looks more like a fastback to me... Loved the interiors and those vents look really cool and have like some 80's look to them.
Thanks for sharing, awesome video as always.
Don't remove the box test, it's very useful actually! Helped me out when buying.
mazda: has a hatchback.
honda: is this close enough?
The interior design language on this car is incredible. I love the simplicity in the front cabin.
I really like the box test, its helpful visualizing cargo space instead of just reading numbers on paper
That's bigger than my 1987 Accord hatchback, which was a great car.
"if you are a sedan shopper and you dont like hatchback just get the hatchback" YES definitely YES I agree that's why I love this type of hatchback / "sportsback"
Box test is what set you apart! And its always something i look forward too!
Love the video! Quick and information. Love that it’s Canadian! I am going to go to my local Honda dealer later this week and see if we can make something work! Woohoo. Upgrading from my 2018 Impreza
I would always crossshop hatchbacks with sub-compact crossovers. So I would love to hear what you guys think of something like the Mazda cx-30 compared to this!
As always, great reviews guys!
I am disappointed that Honda no longer offers the sport hatchback with the 1.5T and manual. I had the previous gen sport hatch which is the best example of fun, power and affordability.
What you mean? Pretty sure you can get all three trims in manual
@ashrafc. No 1.5T and manual in lower trims. Only sport touring hatch has that combo and Si. Priced around 30k
Just went out and bought a 2022 sport hatchback. Great deal on trade in as well. Thanks for the video, very in depth
ARE YOU GUYS BACK AGAIN??? WHATTTTT COOL
Nothing but good reviews on this car. I might choose this over the CRV based upon mpg and driving feel. Boost blue is great. I hope they make Phoenix yellow next year. I’m sure some people are already swapping base civics with type r motors 😁
the 2.0 is slower then the 1.5🤣
"The previous gen Type R which you can buy right now"
Or in the case of Sweden, removed without any mention and made to look as if it never existed.
Hate it when manufacturers of cars or anything else do that. You wonder what happens to the unsold stock. Does it go to those in the know or is it sent to another country?
I am in Canada and I just cant get my hand on a 2020 or 2021...
@@robsmall6466 As far as I know I got a 21 type r and it was only 1 of 13 that made it to the country. The chip shortage and covid totally halted everything. I'm Australian for reference.
@@weaselman24 Congrats on getting one. That's a really nice car you've got there. My comment was more in regards to pre covid. Companies don't seem to be very forthcoming when certain models reach the end of the line or they change strategy and decide that it isn't working out. You think perhaps I'll try that one day and then by the time you have the chance it isn't available any more
My first TSP video was your comparison between the 10th Gen Civic and the Corolla. I've been anticipating for this one and it did not disappoint.
I love how well you all understand the market that these cars are for and devised just no bullshit, REAL tests with Box tests. You still love all the under the hood, car guy and car competition stuff (the engine sound, the drag race, tubing), and you lead your reviews with the tests people are gonna care the most about. An Everyday suburban Family hatch might live or die based on its storage. If my family was what it used to be, I'd be going to or setting up events for my hobbies that require bags, and everything's a neighboring city away. If Everybody got plans on a Saturday, we're gonna want leg room if we each need an everyday carry and hobbies/tool/tech bag. Edit: my Autism getting in the way of making sense TL:DR great channel.

I would’ve liked if Honda took a more hatchback approach. Like the GTI. The Civic HB is more of a fastback hatch, if that makes sense.
No, I like the fastback style much much better than the boxy hatchback. Fastback is Audi-ish.
@@ytsux9259 the front end looks disproportionate imo. Still like the design, just an observation.
Totally agree, it just looks sedan-like. And I reaaally love hatches:( y u do dis Honda
The hatch you describe looks more like a wagon than a hatch. Wagons don’t sell in North America. Selling a wagon-like hatch would be a death sentence for Honda. This 2022 hatch is way more in line and more attractive to people who will buy it.
Fastback all the way. I don’t mind the front end on the hatch, but hate it on the sedan
Great review. I would always chose a hatchback over the sedan as I often need to carry a lot of music gear. My first Honda was a 1979 Civic. They make quality vehicles.
Great review as usual guys. I'd take the hatch all day every day, just so much more practical.
The small Timmies cup test, the box test, the visor test especially, and cliche corner is why I'm still subbed. Please keep them all!
Now that the Si has been released, I'm finding myself drawn to both the Si (sedan only of course) and the Sport Touring hatchback in a manual. I like the styling of both, and the extra power and LSD in the Si would be great, but I love the practicality of the hatch, plus the Sport Touring trim is basically loaded and has all the features I'd like in a new car. If I can't decide after test driving both, I may just hold off and wait for the new Integra, which will be a 4-door hatch with the Si engine, and will probably have an even nicer interior than the new Civic.
That’s my exact problem
An SI hatch would be the perfect car. Why can't we have that??
I love the practicality and looks of the hatchback but the sport touring hatch costs more than the Si.....that's a no go for me.
Si hatch would be epic
If you want an SI hatchback, they push you to the Integra.
The box test is one of the most useful pieces of information this channel provides. It’s not something you can see on a spreadsheet.
I love the box test! It's very useful.
Yuri, if you wear a Type R shirt, it gives you an extra +5 hp
Would love to see a comparison against the Mazda 3 turbo hatch. Both look great and have a good balance of comfort and sport.
Mazda 3 hatch in top trim is spectacular. Feels very lux. But to get that crazy HP and torque, u need premium fuel. Not cool
@@ashrafc7794 You still get close to 230 hp on 87 octane
3:52 me screaming at the screen “BRAKE BRAAAKEE!! oh” 😂
Keep the box test please it's a really useful test and y'all are the only guys that do that kind of thing
Box test would be more useful if we know how it compares to other similar cars. Have a leaderboard table or something.
I use the paddle shifters in my 2018 Civic hatchback mostly for engine braking.
Really like this car and hoping to get soon. Another great review!
This is my favorite kind of hatchback design. I love the fastback style.
Will you test the hatch with the 6-speed manual? For me, it’s ‘save-the-manuals’ or bust!
Manual hatchback for sure! "Save the manual". Thanks for your review.
coming from a 19 sport touring manual, I'm liking the changes. Question on the stereo - new sport touring hatch vs old sport touring hatch - any difference with sound and punch?
I had a 2005 Ford Focus ZX5 SES trim level. It was a hatchback. I did put some stuff for my mother during the 1st summer of driving it. I folded the bottom seat towards the front and fold down the back. Even took down the cover in the back. It was easy to do for me. I figured it out. It was my favorite little car to drive. It got totaled in a bad car accident.
Now that you both have kids you need a car seat test! Especially on these family type cars.
I really wish they would have brought back an updated EG style 3 door hatch, but this new hatchback looks really cool, too! Keep the manuals alive!
While cool they can't justify the cost of it for the lower sales.
It's all but dead, they made it so expensive almost no one will buy it.
I'll take a "real" hatchback in 4dr form. I.e. Squared off for better cargo
Really interesting review, nice to see that they're making a nice to drive car with a manual and a hatch. Would love to see the box test stay though especially for practical cars! Even for the others it's fun. Decibels also fun.
I bought one in touring trim. Yes it's a good improvement in all ways. Happy I made the purchase
As a boost blue owner, I’m indeed mad, and a 2 for 1, Floridian so bump the winter tires.
The new gen is just the boring civic gen, the odds have always been the oddly styled gen, though I do like the rear on these hatches still. The front end and fenders are just no fun
Agreed. Thought it would be a special late model color like the s2000 CR apex blue...
If you're going to have a decibel test, it would be more relevant if you did interior sound levels at 50kph and 100kph
great review WOW the Civic has grown up. 😀
The new civic is epic, especially the touring trim. I am super excited for the hatchbacks to show up.
I'd still have a Mazda 3 hatch over this. The interior, especially in red, is gorgeous!
It's got more power and AWD option as well. Hopefully maybe the new Integra will be like that. It will be built on this Civic platform.
Even a 2021 Mazda3 Select hatchback has more power, and it's naturally aspirated.
They should also make a accord hatch back with awd sounds like a perfect four season vehicle.
With those taillights it would be a Kia stinger 2.0t.
SERIOUSLY. I can't agree with this more. Accord is an incredible car - if they made it a liftback like the Audi A7 (which it already looks like) and gave it AWD it would be a no question purchase for me.
They did, it was called the Crosstour and was a failure, everyone called it ugly, though it is still one of my favorite vehicles.
V6 Low-RPM Turbo AWD Accord, pls pls :P
@@BIPICY They're bringing it back supposedly. Not sure what market though.
THis is a great review. The fact you said the suspension on is really good for a hatchback and the it feels like a mini Honda accord sedan.
Keep the box test! One of the big reasons I watch this channel😂
Don’t live In Florida, but here in NC we get like 3 flurries of snow a year
You should have seen the faces of North Carolinians as you drive by in a '75 Cutlass in a "snow storm."
@@subeyguy66 they turn the hazards on and go 25mph as soon as a flake of snow gets on the windshield 😂
would love to know the DB sound test for the cold starts and in-cabin driving noise :)
Manual ! It good to know that Honda is still in the game -- a true driver's car (while still building great cars for the masses).
Hatch and manual! But interested to see the sedan si great vid guys !!! Keep ‘em coming!!!!
"I couldn't fit all of these boxes. Maybe on the 14th gen when they turn it into a SUV" 🤣 🤣
As a 10th Gen hatch owner, I have mixed feelings. I really like the interior and the drive mode switch. But the exterior just feels so dumbed down to me compared to the 10th Gen (At least the higher trims, like my Ex).
Completely agree
They’re trying to get away from the hot hatch look and make their cars more sophisticated at every level. I guess they’re tired of the reputation the ricers have given them.
I've got a 2018 Civic base and love it. Looks like they made it even better going into 2022!
Do keep the box test, it was VERY useful when deciding to buy my Civic!
I wish they'd make an EV version of this Civic. It's literally everything I'd want, but just can't justify the cost to upgrade unless it were to change to an electric drivetrain (no more cost for gas). If they had an electric Civic that was exactly this car but electric with 300-400 miles of range, I'd be looking to trade in right away.
I fully agree. Electric cars are all either underpowered and dull or bulky SUVs, and none of them have enough range for a substantial road trip without worrying about charging. An electric Civic with the same horsepower and long range would be perfect.
That intro music is a whole vibe!
The rear literally looks like a Kia Stinger
unfortunately, even though i'd like to upgrade my car this year, the dealer markups due to inventory shortages just ain't worth it.
How can I find out if my local dealer is marking up prices for this reason?
@@Jasiel.95 if the price is too high
@@Jasiel.95 just check their inventory if they have a certain amount of cars they won’t mark up on the price to much but if they have little of them they are
The car at msrp isn’t worth it. 35k in Canada for this car. You can get an awd fully loaded Mazda 3 with better leather more features way more premium and quiet interior with a way better sound system
Box test is by far best test you guys do and the exact reason I choose your content over other channels for reviews. But this only applies to "practical cars" I wouldn't care about the test for sports/performance cars
Got to agree with everyone here, the box test is truly useful. Why not keep both? Keep up the great work!
I own a 2022 Sedan Touring and the price for the hatch is BROKEN. I needed to make the purchase when I did and could not wait to see what the deal was going to be on the hatch and I am not upset. The Sport Touring hatch is $5000 more than the sedan and for NOTHING. The only point of argument can be made for the cargo flexibility. That is it.
Otherwise, still a brilliant car as I freaking love my 2022 over my 2017. So much better in so many ways.
@@philipserov In Canada the Sedan Touring is $30,265 CAD and the Hatch touring is $35,000. Not sure why the price discrepancy is so much larger in Canada than the US but it is. I would like a hatch but I'm leaning towards a corolla instead because I cannot justify paying thousands of extra dollars for a hatch.
Agreed, for the same price, I'd rather get the Mazda3 Turbo which has AWD and much more power.
@@Jacobcho83 Or A VW GTI .
Hard to justify the price bump over the sedan. I like the hatch, but I ain't paying $37000CAD after PDI and Freight. As someone said, you can get a Mazda 3 turbo AWD at about the same price. That price difference is insane. Honda needs to give their collective corporate head a shake!!
Honda finally made some decent looking stock wheels. I like the body style better than the last generation. It would be cool if it came in AWD.
Great video. Thank you! I've watched a couple of your videos with the new Civic and others from other people and so many people seem to shun the 2.0L engine and I just wanted to voice my opinion on that since I just got a new 23 Civic Sport Hatch in boost blue pearl with the 2.0L and the 6 speed MT. I love this engine. I just traded in a 2020 Sport Sedan that had the 6 Speed and 2.0L engine and loved that one too. I think the only drawback compared to the 1.5L Turbo is off the line speed which isn't that important to me anymore. The 2.0 is a VERY smooth engine and can get up and go when you want it to (enough for everyday "spirited" driving and passing on the highway etc). I also think there is a longevity advantage to having a larger non-turbo motor.... I may be wrong on that, but if I can't get another manual gearbox when my 3 year lease is up, I'll be keeping this one and driving it a long time, so after that I'll know for sure ;) And I mean no disrespect to the 1.5. Everyone seems to love it. But I do prefer the 2.0 for the reasons mentioned, and I also like that it's cheaper (around 5k cheaper than the sport touring) while still being fun to drive. Oh and mine still fits as many boxes too, so that's good, right?
Definitely keep the box test, it helps understand the interior cargo space because some cars may be the same size but hold a lot less.
