I looked at two recently, one in this Red and a new color Blue Lagoon. Joe, you forgot to mention it has a new engine an Atkinson cycle with 150 hp down from 158 hp in the last model. Fuel MPG is up slightly to 39 MPG highway.
@@anthonykiedis1765 Honda is doing something screwy with the Civic in the United States. In Canada it is better equipped, has better materials at touch points (like the center arm rest and top of the door card), and is cheaper.
Have a mk11 Civic as well and feels the same way. put it side by side to the Accord and you wouldn't think it was supposed to be a size or two down. Not only is it longer but most noticably it is WIDE. Drives way wider than the Golf I had before it. I will say though the handling is pheonominal because you don't feel the size at all, but yes, it is a lot bigger than Civics used to be
I just purchased this exact vehicle, but in Canada. Here we get a sunroof and a few other extras. It drives well, feels well planted in the corners and the suspension is quite comfortable over the bumps. It does need more power and a true automatic. Overall it is a good value.
had a 23' civic sport. I’ll admit I was having so much fun w the "7 speed" cvt w paddle shifters, the 2 liter gave it character and the rest of the car that separates from the base civic, honda did great w these for the price point. but I traded it in last month for an FL5 😁
@@cloudylifestyle5657 honestly just build your credit w the ex until its paid off, then use the car's value for a trade in (hoping that the car is still being produced, but if anything there are ppl in the world that lease these cars as well). thats what I was doing but I just spontaneously called the salesman that sold me the 23 sport I called n asked for a deal on the fl5 n idk what the fuck he did but he got me a deal that I couldnt pass up on, so I had some negative equity that rolled over but im able to still afford it
In Japan, it was long time ago but, I used to see Civics and Accords that were imported back from the US. I believe they were especially the fifth generation Civic and the fourth generation Accord. Of course, they were left-hand drive, and the design of the four-spoke steering wheel with airbags was really cool, and I still remember it. The Civic Coupe and Accord Coupe from that time are still legendary to me.
One thing worth noting for those prioritizing reliability, was that the engine was changed from a port injected K20C2 to a direct injected K20C9 which is honestly kind of a let down. With that, it drops HP from 158 to 150 now as well :/
@@doggedlydetermined7022 It's pretty much an added maintenance item down the line, because moving from port to direct injection opens up the possibility of your intake valves having carbon deposits, which would require cleaning. It's by no means catastrophic, but in the sense of reliability the K20C2 is more favorable since the port injection cleans the intake valves from its location, if that makes sense
Almost bought one of these as my daily commuter but it was painfully slow. After I drove the Mazda 3 hatch, it was a no brainer. The Mazda 3 is better in every single way for the same price.
I’d take the Mazda. You get a way upscale interior, optional 2.5 turbo, an automatic and not a CVT, yes a manual is still offered on non turbo trim, smaller more mature looking car. Oh, and it’s AWD.
@@omarcortes5754 for “a bit less than 30” it better have leather, sunroof, bose, and a decent engine with decent power. A basic car like this should be at 24-25
That "bulletproof" 2 liter engine may not be so bulletproof anymore due to Honda changing port injection to direct injection with model year 2025. Lost some horsepower too, 158hp vs.150 hp on the 2025 model. :(
Hey Joe, This is a different engine from the "bulletproof" port injected Otto Cycle K20C2 in the 2016 to 2024 Civics. The 2025 Sport and LX have a direct injected Atkinson cycle K20C9. Doubt it will be as "bulletproof" as the C2.
It sucks now you can’t get a manual anymore in the other trims besides the si and type r. That to me is a mistake. Should’ve kept it now you can’t feel the excitement since the other trims is a cvt
I agree about the manual. I've been driving a manual for decades, so this is a big fail to me even thought I know most people who view cars as an appliance couldn't care less. Just another example of companies prioritizing money over customer wishes. Come on, Honda, get back to giving a damn about what ALL your customers want!
What happened to all the great old Hondas with non turbo V - Tech engines? They were fun / affordable/ extremely reliable!! Even the old Acura Integra models were fantastic !!
I just keep my honda civic sport on normal mode. No its not fast but thats not why i bought one. Its sporty and gets looks. I like the wheels and gas mileage is great.
Answer to the video title: No, not with $5000 markup that my local Honda dealers put on every single cars that cannot be removed. Lojack, tint, paint coating etc of BS. Mazda add none of that. Besides, Mazda happens to be nailing in every way nowadays.
Any chance that you may be reviewing a Civic Sport Hybrid any time soon? Asking because I’d (and I’m sure many others would) love to see the differences between it and the Sport Touring Hybrid. I hear they made some changes to the Sport trim in the Hybrid, in that it gets more stuff over the regular NA Sport. I believe it gets a sunroof, heated seats, but I’m not sure what else. It’d be nice to see! Thank you for all you do!
That is a totally different engine from the K series that was in the 2024 model. Power is not 158hp but 150hp. It has different bore and stroke, different compression ratio etc.
Good for going to the Supermarket, but with a Buick Envista, at least I would get a heated steering wheel, 11" main panel, power driver's seat, and power lift gate to make the shopping experience better.
I despise Honda packaging on the Civic for the American market. No sunroof should be a crime on a "Sport" trim. Probably dont have blindspot monitoring. At least add it as a package. And dont get me started with that pathetic same small infotainment screen that is found in their flagship Honda Pilot!
They do have blind spot monitoring with a flashing display when you’re gonna merge into someone’s way. Other than that they are very slow and heavy. I miss my 21 Hatch.
@Average_CoD_Clips They have it on higher trims. They didn't have it on the LX or Sport. Unless they FINALLY added it. Honda always a day late and a dollar short when it comes to features.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 they have it & 60/40 rear seats with center arm rest for 2025. sport during some years like 2023 is the lowest trim, that's why there wouldn't be a sunroof
@balistab1125 It's still unacceptable for Honda not offering one on the Sport trim. I believe the Canadian market gets it. But we get the short end of the stick in America.
I don't know how they can leave a trunk lid spoiler off this Honda Civic Sport. Joe, it does need an exhaust on the left side. Also, it doesn't have to be the embodiment of perfection, just an exhaust of sorts.
Yeah it sucks how slow it is but not having a turbo or hybrid batteries and being a honda means you could drive this car for many hundreds of thousands of miles. It's nice to have that option.
Thanks for the great review on the sport trim! I really look forward to a possible review of the sport hybrid / sport touring trims. Honda is definitely strongly suggesting hybrid options / nuking gas trims IMO. Would love to know opinion on hybrid trim options compared to hyundai elantra hybrid / toyota options. Would also love a bronco sport but only if MPG improves.
This is the k20c9 not the good old reliable k20c2 with port injection

I went to newyork from Maryland last week. My average mil 75 on highway and I made 430 mil with just 1 fully gas tank. My average fuel was 40mpg. Like it. Last year ı made same trip with my 1.4 tsi vw Golf. It was 50 mpg avarage. Planning to go new york again with my 2024 Mustang Gt.
Why do these car manufacturers label their trims as “sport” when it is anything but that under the hood? I know in Honda’s case they have a sport hybrid with 200 hp but 150 hp??
It's a good looking car, but they could have given it a little bit more hp. Those stats are almost the same as my old 2002 toyota camry, and the camry made more torque too. Hondas are usually more sportier....
My friend bought a 2023 civic sport hatchback brand new awhile back. It’s just mediocre, but does everything well. Interior panels rattle at certain engine RPM’s and it’s just “okay”. Drives sporty which is appreciated. Overall, my 2012 Subaru Outback is a much nicer car and those aren’t known for being super quiet
Glad I purchased my 2024 1.5 Sport Touring Hatchback 6MT. I will take my chances with the 1.5 turbo. More zippy than the 2.0. The Red color looks nice.
im honestly debating if i should get a honda civic sport 2025 or wait for the 2025 mazda 3 sedan select sport, just the honda cvt transmission kind of irks me and the display screen just feels out of place with how it protrudes out.
I had a 2020 civic sport sedan with the k20c2 NA motor and the very rare manual transmission in that model. The car may have lasted awhile with that setup, but even though paid off I got rid of it with 12k miles. Car was simply too slow to enjoy. Even certain hills in CA I’d be floored and barely make it up them lol.
Glad they dropped the problematic 1.5T engine. But Honda please offer a manual transmission choice for enthusiasts. 🙏 People were not buying it? But everytime I look for a Mazda 3 mt or Honda civic mt they tell me oh we had a couple last week but the were IMMEDIATELY purchased. Tells me there is enough people who would buy if they were a little more available.
I wouldn’t complain too much about the power. You get a lot of car for the money here. If you got the itch, the hybrid version brings lots more power. (And of course there’s always the Type R for the truly demented). 😂
Maybe Saturn will rise up from the ashes of history and put the competition back in Honda Civic buyers. My second car in 1995 was a used midnight blue Saturn sport with a trunk spoiler and I drove that car to its death.
I stopped and looked at a sonic grey one last night at my local dealership. The sport like this one with those ugly black wheels, plain jane cloth seats no sunroof NOTHING priced at $29k . No way in hell
I have a 2020 equinox 1.5T, I am looking for a less than $30,000 car/suv, I’d like a reliable engine, my equinox AC went out at 35,000, leaked again at 50,000, Turbo is going out at 70,000…… I’m over this thing
Great review thanks. BUT, i prefer the 2024 model. The 2025 front bumper is too protruded and i don't like the whale mouth front grill design that seems to be borrowed from the ugly HRV. Plus my 2024 EX has turn signals built into the mirrors. I think the 2024 model is by far the best Civic ever built.
i would of like to seen you test the manual transmission of this Honda Civic sport if you can find one i think the manual would be more fun to drive insted of the cvt i think the manual would last a lot longer cvt you get about 100,000 miles befor the transmission gose the manual transmission gould go 500,000-1,000,000 miles if you baby the clutch just my thoughts thank you for your review
that front bumper though... yikes. Also, you could literally get a Hyundai Elantra N Line for the price of this car. And that N Line is better in literally every aspect.

Great review thanks. BUT, i prefer the 2024 model. The 2025 front bumper is too protruded and i don't like the whale mouth front grill design that seems to be borrowed from the ugly HRV. Plus my 2024 EX has turn signals built into the mirrors. I think the 2024 model is by far the best Civic ever built.
i would of like to seen you test the manual transmission of this Honda Civic sport if you can find one i think the manual would be more fun to drive insted of the cvt i think the manual would last a lot longer cvt you get about 100,000 miles befor the transmission gose the manual transmission gould go 500,000-1,000,000 miles if you baby the clutch just my thoughts thank you for your review
158hp 😂 CVT 😂 prop rod 😂 FWD 😂 cloth seats 😂
It’s a compact sedan bud this isn’t performance German sedan…
that front bumper though... yikes. Also, you could literally get a Hyundai Elantra N Line for the price of this car. And that N Line is better in literally every aspect.
The Elantra N is 35k
Bro ain’t no one want that shitty as car
