- The Civic is Honda's compact sedan. Onthe outisde you will discover 17in wheels, LED lighting, sunroof. On the inside you will be greeted by a leather style interior and 9in infotainment screen. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that is mated to a CVT. Is the 2024 Honda Civic Touring a BETTER sedan than a Toyota Corolla XLE?

I have the same exact same car. Couldn’t be any happier. Honda Dealers mark ups are a down side. I believe it’s the most expensive in its segment.
After having my Silverado being my daily for the last 3 years, I've been in market looking for a new, comfortable & fuel efficient daily driver. Ended up buying a 2024 Honda Civic Touring $32,000 OTD. I've never owned a vehicle with less than 6 cylinders, (most of them 8) nor one with a CVT. But I gotta tell you that's its amazing and I'm really loving it. I still have my Silverado though! :D
Agreed on the ventilated seats. It's not like Honda doesn't have the tech, it's available on the Accord. Hyundai/Kia and Toyota offer them on a bunch of models and most domestics from Ford and Chevrolet do too. I would guess Mazda will probably start offering them on more models in the future as they go more upscale too. Not a big ask for Honda to offer them as an option on the Civic.
To be honest for 32k it doesn’t have that many options like memory seats and back buckets, it’s a a lot of money!
Looks better than big brother Accord.
I don't know which one I like better. However, I think the Civic Sedan looks more like an Accord than a Civic. I prefer the more aggressive styling of the outgoing model, and am disappointed they toned down the styling. Why they made 2 models so similar idk. Still not a bad looking car, but a downgrade styling wise imo.
Joe Raiti's is the man! My absolute fave automobile reviews!
Thanks for having my back brother!
He is the best !!!!!!!
For $32k I'm perfectly OK with a standard sunroof. That's a lot better than a Ford F-250 Lariat that costs $82000, and has NO sunroof. Just a lil something to put into perspective.
Ya know, Joe, a new guy that I work with, has a black 23 Civic Sport. He was kind enough to let me sit in his for a little while to check it out. You know what was the first thing I asked? I said, "Can I turn your climate control knobs?" He asked why, and I said someone I know said they have such a good quality to them they sound like turning a dial on a Wells Fargo safe, and I had to see for myself. Lol. I know it sounded weird. Trust me. 😅 You know Joe, it certainly is Wells Fargo safe approved 👍🏻, and it's very roomy on the inside. That was my first time in a new gen Civic. 5/5 🌟
That is so very fantastic Chris! Awesome of him to share his Civic with you.
I’m a dial person too and just bought a ‘24 civic. Turning a dial is firm but easy to actuate with very tactile feedback and a super satisfyingly chunky click. I 100% get it, you’re not the only weirdo 😅
Anybody know when we will get a Honda Accord redesign. Current one is gross.
Love your videos! Got one a couple months ago the sport touring hatch and great for everyday errands!
Thank you,I just purchased the 2024 Honda civic touring metallic I love it,the gas mileage and the amenities are very high quality. THANK YOU RAITIS for the great review..I've had a 2013 Honda Accord and have not had any problems with it . Regular maintenance will keep your Honda running like a reliable vehicle.
I have a 2014 accord sport as well. is it an upgrade overall for the ride quality?
@@95x300I’ve driven both, I would say no to this
18” wheels are better for touring and those ones look very nice. Touring customers want a quieter cabin while sport customer want value and aesthetics
Except Touring doesn't offer a quieter cabin. It is one of the noisiest cars on the road. The so called "insulation" on the touring is paper thin. None of the competitors at this price range are as noisy as the Honda
Toyota mostly beats Honda in pretty much every car these days, but in the compact sedan segment, the Civic beats the Corolla imo
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
You got it my friend
Cannot go wrong with Civic 💪
Raiti dropping gems during March Madness
Honda really nailed ergonomics in this generation. I like having big buttons and knobs. Some cars are moving towards putting far too many controls in touch screens or via haptic buttons. Honda keeps it simple and easy.
i’m getting my first car tomorrow and it’s a 24 honda civic touring and this video is too good , just what i needed to know what i’m getting into . this guy’s so funny
That is awesome Kim! Congrats!
Wrong info on the Sport wheels. They're 18 also. C'MON Raiti!
I own a 2022 Honda civic touring red since New and love it.
10:22 You know your history! That’s so cool, and it was even featured in the Toy Story movies!
I looked at several Civics but ended up buying an Acura Integra A Spec trim and have no regrets.
I own a 2023 Civic Sport Touring,
and my friend just bought a 2024 Corolla.
I helped him choose, test drive, and everything.
I would say:
If you just want a daily commute car, Corolla is a very solid choice. It's very practical, it has a Hybrid engine and Toyota's Hybrid system is amazing. You cannot really go wrong with the Corolla.
If you want a fun car, join Civic camp
Civic is "a bit more" Corolla. It is a bit bigger (but not Camry yet), the Interior is better, it has more characteristics and is more fun to drive. Honda's handling is really good, it has great feedback and road response. I have been driving a Civic for more than a year and still love it and have fun every day.
The sad part for Civic is:
- It's more expensive than the Corolla
- It doesn't have a Hybrid powertrain (yet)
It might be more expensive, but just a couple thousand more compared to Corolla Hybrid XLE
They are also releasing the 2025 Civic Hybrid this summer
Facts you just explain why i like the civic way more than Toyota it is way better, but the ownership will kill your money, but luckily got some leftover money when i purchase it.
Couldn't agree more but the few thousand pricier than Corolla justified by the sportier and mightier powertrain..classy interior and more spacious.
P/S : I'm getting the hybrid Civic soon. Best of both worlds!
The sad part for Civic is an overwhelming road noise none of the competitors struggle with (Read Consumer Reports) buy something else if you value your ears
I daily one of these and it’s a solid little car! Only complaint is it’s noisy on the highway
I appreciate that ownership insight
The Civic hasn't been "little" for quite a while. I have a difficult time distinguishing the Civic and the Accord with this new Gen. The Civic is just so much bigger that I personally categorize it as a mid-size sedan.
I should also add that I drive a VW Golf, a true compact size vehicle, so I guess I'm basing sizes off what I drive
@@mwilging compared to most trucks and SUVs on the road it’s little. I also used to drive a full size SUV
Joe, you say the one vehicle in the class that doesnt have the CVT is the Jetta. Are you overlooking the Mazda 3?
I have been on a streak of watching your videos. I have to say im glad i just subscribed your the best!!!
That is so awesome of you to say Jonathan!
For $32k, no lumbar, no ventilated seats, no rear ventilation. It drives great, but Honda should those nice features for a Touring, would've really stepped it up for the price.
For sure the touring should have those. I have a 2019 accord touring and it has lumbar, ventilated seats, memory seats, and heating backseats. I’m shocked a car 5 years newer is missing all of those…..
Just got rid of my 2022 sport with the 2.0. CVT Transmission was already having issues, steering was sticking as well, oil leaks, etc. And barely 20k miles too, won’t be buying Honda anytime soon again.
In my opinion the interior door material and designs of my 10th gen rival the 11th gen, middle leather section is dressed up with after stitching, carbon fibre looking trim instead of gloss black, but everything else is a step up for sure
For daily driving these are fantastic cars.
This is so very true!
That CVT makes way too much noise
No it doesn’t.
no its doesnt lol never had any problems @@MoeCamera
@@Bleseddd1regardless, these over cars for below average people I don’t want to be driving something that majority of ppl have especially if it’s slow
The Civic is an icon! I like it!
One of the top selling cars of all time.
32 bills ? Not
Looking at the Honda website, and I don’t see a Civic with 19 inch wheels. Both sport and touring models have 18 inch wheels.
I really like the overall look of those civics Joe. They just don’t spare the horsepower I’d be looking for.
This guy has the funniest car review videos hands down. He's not a ZONK!!!
K
The bottom of the tray plate has a Civic logo, which is a good Easter egg detail.
Got mine less than a year ago and already a recall on the power steering system being incorrectly installed. I got a 23, and I’m surprised Honda didn’t fix it for the 24 models… disappointing…
No "ZONK" for the lack of rear seat vents?
I have the sport touring Hatchback 6speed. I love it. ALTHOUGH, i changed out the turn signal bulbs to LED, had to take off the whole assembly, and go figure, they broke from taking them off, they split open at the seam, plastic feels very very thin and fragile, and now i have condensation iside! So annoyed because the dealer wants $300 for each. Well, other than that, the car is great. Tons of space for the kids along with trunk space.
I changed out the bulbs very easily. It's delicate work though
My money is going civic. Hondas fwd system dominates in this class. Behind the wheel they’re fun to drive and handle well
the reason touring has an 18” wheel is because you’ll be driving and cruising more which gives you a softer ride due to more sidewall, 19 would make the ride rougher
The jokes take the review to a whole new level while keeping it professional😂
Keep them coming Joe🤜🏼🤛🏼
Got a 2022 civic touring sonic gray 🔥…runs great , sound system is perfect the car ride is a bit loud ? But overall I would buy this car again 👌🏽
Honda better bring that 12.3 infotainment for the refresh lol
It was Rose not Ruth that threw the diamond over @3:26
The sport and SI trims get the exhaust tips… literally makes no sense why they left it off the touring. The only thing I don’t like about mine
ligtht bulb cheaper to replace than a whole tail light unit that has led"s
Did they fixed the steering rack?
I'm all about Toyota except when it comes to the Honda Civic
3:27 Haven’t heard of that or watched Titanic, but I’ll check it out! Thanks for telling me Joe!
You've never seen Titanic? DO you live under a rock lol jk
@@hattershouse710 I did see the scene where the ship sank
@@TheSpeedDemon64 the scene he is talking about happens near the very end of the movie.
Hmmmmm Forte GT 2 201 HP and 7 speed twin clutch auto, with REAL paddles... and nice exhaust note.
I've taken one out for three days and can say it is by far one of the best on the market. Felt great, drove great, no complaints from what I was able to experience. That being said, Mazda3 is still my #1
🤢🤮
I have the same exact car but 2022 model. This car is great, but there is a issue with this car that annoys me. I am 6 feet tall and drive everyday to work, about 14 km in the morning and 14 km in the afternoon to get back home, each commute is about 0.5 hour. The problem is I get heal pain in my right food as a result of repetitive accelerating and breaking. I feel problem is with the seat which doesn't cover under my thigh completely, or maybe because of the brakes that are not sensitive enough to stop the car with less effort.
Great video but incorrect on the wheels. Both Sport and Touring trims have 18” wheels. Only difference is Sport is painted black aluminum alloy and Touring has machine faced dual tone aluminum alloy. Overall great review!
As always Great review! We need that Honda ridgeline black edition review!!!
Wow nice car. Thanks for what you do Joe
What about the very soft paint on this civic after a year or two it will blister and start to fall apart
The sport touring are 18” wheels not 19”…..still great review Joe! A little disappointed at the 32,000 price tag ….for a Civic!!!! OUCH. I wanted this to be my next car but there will be some heavy negotiation going on or I will walk. Prices are crazy !!!!
It looks nice if I can’t get the hatchback sport touring I’ll get this one for sure.
I bought a 24 civic, sport trim…one thing I wish I could change is the arm rests…they are all to low…Joe next time you sit in one, see if you think they are to low! Just a little annoyance, not a big deal.
Both are reliable!
This is very true!
32k no rear air vent no lumbar no memory seat
ON THROTTLE!!!!!
I'm glad it doesn't have the exhaust finishers, the car looks extremely clean, that would partially ruin it. Not sure why people are demanding these cringe design elements on an economy car anyways, that kind of thing looks good on a WRX not a Civic
I would have taken one if they did a 3.5L V6.
That won’t happen. It’s a compact sedan…
Name a compact economy car that has a 3.5L V6?
Glorious there is no compact that has v6 engine
Best compact. No question.
I’m so glad that you are thinking so.
I’d personally take a Mazda 3 over this Civic. I just can’t past the 1.5t issues and the CVT transmission.
@@lennygarrison6836CVT is questionable but ultimately depends on your maintenance schedule/way you drive it
18 inch wheels on the sport, they are not 19 inch. Same size on the touring just different design and sport are all black. 18 inch on the hatch as well…..19 inch on the type R
Oh yes I did want 10 inches
Joe has 10.25” for ya right in a face! BAM!
I drove civic and corolla but ended up LE hybrid base model, cracks me up small stuff they take out to make it as cheap as possible
I am liking this Honda. I think they did a brilliant job on this particular model. Still not sure about these simulated shifts, but I am starting to accept the CVT for these eco cars. Another spot on review Mr. Raitti. 💙✌️😊
For a top trim, it's embarrassing that this Touring doesn't have all LEDs, no exhaust tips, smaller wheels. Might as well buy an Accord for $32k.
Rofl you think idk about lasfit? I had a 2020 Civic Sport and I replaced it with Lasfit bulbs. The point is Honda cutting corners on a top trim, but guess you're satisfied with old technology@lalalal8111
IMO, 18 inch wheels are NOT small. We fer so spoiled with 20 inch wheels these days. 18 inch is very standard for looks and performance.
Crazy to know that this has more than the SI
Please do not make a car buying decision based on the review like this one. This person gets the car from the manufacturers' dealer so he cannot say too many negative things about it. This Honda has incredible levels of road noise, more than any of the competitors such as Toyota or Mazda within the same price range, lacks driver lumbar support, passenger height adjustment (not even a manual one in the most expensive touring!!!) none of which were mentioned. So please make your decisions carefully. Yes the dynamics are great but what good is it when the noise levels are so high? How can one enjoy the Bose System when the noise is so bad, it cuts through any music you're listening to!!!
I like the looks of the Honda front best. I don't get mfg's going with bigger wheels with the same width and tires. It's stupid and adds nothing to performance or handling.
Wtf..
The jetta civic and corolla look nothing like eachother.
Hey raiti, do you think the sport or touring is better I can’t decide , the sports looks are better for me
Yes
Awesome!
Joe I crunched the numbers on this one: same ballpark as the GR86
In Canada you can get an si for 3k more or get a vw gli for 3k less and an estra 60 hp
Good little car, the Honda Stealership experience on the other hand guarantees that I will never set foot into one to buy a Honda. Always with a crapload of mandated worthless dealer installed accessories AND an ADM!
@lalalal8111 I custom ordered a loaded ‘24 Subaru Impreza RS with zero dealer installed “options”, 2 years/four visit free service at invoice plus a loyalty discount at about 10% off MSRP with absolutely no drama or hardcore upsell. Order to delivery from Japan in about six weeks, in and out of the dealership at purchase in about an hour, including a quick test drive of my car. So, there’s that. The Honda dealership next door was rude af with ridiculous ADM pricing.
@lalalal8111 apparently, my straightforward answer explaining exactly which brands don’t have this kind of business model violates YT or this channel’s guidelines, so I’ll stand mute.
Just walked out of my local dealership bought multiple Honda's here and suddenly they want a deposit before we speak to finance?
Ya no thanks
I bought this car at the beginning of the year. I am extremely impressed by the 1.5t and CVT. It has convinced me that small turbocharged engines and CVT's are not the enemy! Lol. No but in all seriousness, it behaves so seamlessly and unobtrusively without any of the odd behavior that might have been present in CVT's 10 yrs ago. I do not feel any hesitation or delay. The same CANNOT be said for the 2.4/DCT combo I am also familiar with from Acura! There was often a lag when trying to accelerate quickly, ie merging on the highway.
Only issue so far is MPG not quite what it's supposed to be. Hopefully I just need to drive it a bit more??
@@Pler1978 Well, it's nice that you managed to put 180k miles on a 2018 vehicle! Mostly highway miles, I imagine?
The engine is great when it comes to dynamics of driving but fails miserably at efficiency. It is supposed to save money on fuel but when you press the pedal for more spirited driving, mpgs dip down to near V6 levels, lol (I have the touring)
@@user-ue6fp8rg2i How many miles do you have on yours?
@@kingdarius5252 around 16,000
@@kingdarius5252 about 16,000
Dealers aren't letting this go for that $32K MSRP
I picked up the 2024 Sport touring hatchback for $500.00 under MSRP. December 2023.
They're putting an $8k mark-up by me... Still can't keep them in stock
“TO-WERE-ING”
Yeah him saying it as "turring" was driving me nuts. He also said "turbur" instead of "turbo".
😢😭😢😭@@burntvirtue
There’s almost no reason not to get the hatchback instead, aside from price. And only the Type R has 19 inch wheels; the Sport has 18s and the EX has 17s. The hatch LX has 16” alloys.
The hatchback looks better. I prefer the previous style. The hatchback actually passes as a Civic, kind of. This is more like an Accord than a Civic. Not that Accords are bad, but just styling wise, looks like it evolved from the Accord line rather than the Civic line.
The 1.5T has to much of a failure rate for me, I think the 2.0 hybrid comes next year, I’m interested on how reliable that engine will be, the current K20 has been pretty reliable
Hello, is the base Integra CVT a better car here? Ride, fit and finish, handling?
YES! No doubt.
Awaiting the hybrid version
Massive mark-up incoming I'm already quoted well over 5k above MSRP
If that's the case, they can keep it
he looks a bit cramped in the back hmmm also wait the sport touring doesnt come with ventelated seats? nor lumbar support wait what i was looking to get the crv and road a 2024 accord loved how roomy it was and well all the features wish it was 2025 wanted one in that year so i started looking into the crv since it was roomer and newer the only thing i hate is that no spare also wish i could get the accord but like the price is no different than the crv so im at a lose if i should just go for the crv or accord ! ahhh any suggestions would help thanks
I wasn't cramped at all.
I can’t wait for the 12th gen.
Love ya Steven love the Honda
You honestly just get so much more for your money with the Mazda 3 - more elegant styling, two solid engine options, great handling, a reliable 6 speed automatic. Honda really falls short in the value for dollar category
That cramped back seat on the Mazda 3 is a deal breaker! That and the dated infotainment with the center consul dial control.
@@ms.b9093 still a nice car. Interior maybe dated just a little, but still nice. It still has a screen up top, but no touchscreen is a conscious decision by Mazda. Mazda decided to stop putting touchscreens in their vehicles so drivers don't get distracted by it. But yea, they could keep appeal up and make up for it by trying to keep modern styling.
I love the 2019 trim better
me too.
It’s 18s on the sport and 19s on the R
I got better mileage, more power, a better driving experience, and more reliability with my B18C 25 years ago.
I like my 2016 way better than the new one. Come on Honda, step up your game as it feels like you’re going backwards
love the outgoing generation much better. It's not even a Civic, it's an Accord lol. ngl, it's a nice car in its own right, but still. Disappointed the styling has been toned down.
i love my 23’ civic hatch so much
I was about to trade in my 2016 touring but after driving a 2024 civic I am not impressed.
It feels cheaper compared to my older civic. The leather wrapped wheel feels cheap compared to the older civics and HRV/CRV
The asking price was also insulting.
I couldn't agree with you more! I don't like the way they redesigned the civic it looks believe it or not like the Toyota Corolla my mom's 2013 Toyota Corolla it looks just like her car and it doesn't look like it's sporty like the 2016 people cannot believe that was Pacific cause it was hot it look like a sports Version it's very sad I don't know why Honda did that?
Waiting for the hybrid!
Will you do a 2.0 with the six speed?
I have a 2024 sport touring hatchback. How come in the sedan it’s called touring and not sport touring like in the hatch version? Does the hatchback have a different suspension than the sedan?
The Civic hatch is called the Civic Sport. The Civic sedan is just a Civic. So the hatch is called the Civic Sport Touring while the sedan is the Civic Touring. It's based on the body style, whether it's a sedan or a hatch, nothing to do with the suspension I don't think
Ruth? You mean Rose lol. God I love you Joe.
Lol
not sure what the big deal with not having a pano sunroof, i wouldnt want one the normal size is better.
