- The Honda Civic Si for the past few hears has been only offered as a sedan or coupe. Is this 2020 Civic Sport Touring like a hatchback Si? Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 180 HP & is mated to a 6-speed transmission. It's exterior has been cleaned up a bit with redesigned front and rear fascias. On the inside you get the versatility of tons of cargo space and more upscale interior. Is this 2020 Honda Civic Sport Touring hatchback as close to a Civic Si hatchback?

Raiti: “kneels down”
Car headlights: “aw shit, here we go again”
LMAO!!! You are hilarious!
Even the CVT version is great. Surprisingly it puts the power down pretty well
This looks like a nice car. I'm impressed. It would be a nice second car for when I need a 4 door.
You are so very right!
My '21 Touring is a dream to drive...
Thank god no CVT in that one. Thanks for the review Joe.
I totally agree with you Jay! You are so very welcome my friend!
Finally not only in Canada. Only 3 colors, but that's fine with me, because the Sonic Grey Pearl is one of them. I would get this exactly like in this video. I just wish it had a left side map pocket, and I would pass on that if I could, but it's fine as is.
The camera angle on your POV driving was perfect. Some reviewers have the camera directed toward their face and it's kind of annoying. FANTASTIC videos bro!
Thanks man! That is so awesome of you to say!
raiti's food references to big gulps, snickers, twinkies, etc will add an extra 10 years to my life
i say it when im talking about a car im in and people look at me funny lol
Love that you always give a driver's POV (vision) as opposed to those who drive the car but we are forced to look at their mugshot. I HATE when a car reviewer does that
Thumbs up for manual transmission!
Yes sir!
The HDMI outlet XD, never thought of that before, but now when i look at HDMI cable, it reminds me of the Si
I have the exact same Sonic Grey Pearl hatchback I got on New Year's Eve and it looks better in person! Enough room for the passengers and the trunk is pretty spacious. I love the adaptive headlights and how it brightens up the road at night. While it's certainly not as fast as an Si, it goes pretty quick once the turbo kicks in.
Love your reviews!! They’re always so detailed and in depth. Thanks for helping me decide on which hatch to burn my deployment savings on.
Raiti is the man. I always watch new sodes 👍🏻
Circus peanuts. LOL. I love your reviews because I’m always anxious to see what candy you’ll use next!
Scott Davis thanks for letting me share the laughs.
Joe Sir congrats on what you are doing with this channel.
Hard work and It shows. Feels like every day we are getting great content.
Love the formula, great intro, great sequence and we also get to know and like you quite a bit.
Keep it up.
That means so much! I appreciate you saying that. Today it was a rough day filming but your comment really helped.
great video! love these cars! I think something that would be cool is if you got another cam to put below the steering wheel when reviewing manual cars to show your foot work or also a pov view I always appreciate small stuff like that youtubers do! idk if you have but bloopers at the end of the year, I know the last one is less likely because you would probably want to stay professional working!
I just got a Honda Civic Si Sedan 2020 a couple months ago. already 1300 miles on it. it drives like a dream
Love Mr Raiti's detailed presentations on Honda trim pkgs!
Great video series. Bought a manual base model today, and no regrets. Best buy for the money.
Yes more rides like these with your advice on making them better!
Thanks my fried you got it!
Hey Joe, another great review. I like the changes to clean up the design but I agree they should have gone further. I am craving chicken and waffles every time I see the rear end! That color on the featured Civic is gorgeous!
Great review and I would love to see more reviews on cars like this
Been waiting for this particular beast
Oh trust me I know!
@@RaitisRides LOL Thanks Joe
@@JayPatel-tx1zc sure thing!
@@RaitisRides 🤝🏼
Nice review. I do wish Honda made the Si available in the hatchback. I had an ‘05, the 2-door hatch they made for a few years, and loved that car.
#SAVETHEMANUALS
Sir yes sir!
@@RaitisRides Bet 💪🏼
Now available in the US, not just Canada, albeit only in this beautiful Sonic Grey Pearl, black, and white.
@@jjacob25101 Nice
Can't wait to see your review of the 2020 type r👍
Hey Raiti, I actually own the Sport Touring trim with an manual gearbox! At the age of 23, I love driving this car as my first ever new car! I was worried about the CVT longevity, but I think I made the right decision with an manual until Honda develops a better automatic transmission that is an hybrid or even electric transmission. You cannot beat the practicality of the Hatchback.
I love my 2019 Civic Sport it handles so well
I am so glad to hear that! Thanks for sharing!
Raiti's Rides I’m super happy you loved and commented on my comment, this is your year Raiti, in my opinion it always has been but this year your gonna go big
Great coverage, thanks
I saw an 8th gen, a 9th gen, and the 10th gen you were driving all rolling around in the review. Civics really do rule the world
New to Raiti's Rides...Love his enthus...But Didn't think I would disagree w Raiti so soon...I have a 21Touring & the Sub in the back...Is the SUB...Got confirm Not only from Honda but from a friend of mine who does Audio Mods & Upgrades for foreign autos...Great stuff Raiti...Will continue to watch...Thx!!!
Joe Raiti you make great videos
19:26 I almost forgot I was watching a program called *Raiti's Rides* 😂
You are so awesome!
Can't have evidence
Love these videos, this is my favorite Honda car by far especially because it's a manual and in the sonic gray, probably the best 4-door car in the world for the price of a base sport model
I am so glad that you like this one.
You need to order them. Gee how do I know? Just put down a thousand yesterday for the Sport same color. Here is a hint go thru Costco as you'll save a few bucks. 21,600 on my contract. I could care less about a sunroof and heated seats. Just more crap to break over time. 6 or 7 grand can fill up the fuel tank more than a few times.
@@Tsalinger Bingo! For 2020, they added all the goodies the Sport Hatchback lacked for years, that the Non turbo 2.0L engine Sport Sedan/Coupe last year in 2019. That car is even a better value and more reliability, durability, and longevity if the 20 less HP is fine with you. The Sport Touring Hatchback is merely the luxury version of the Sport Hatchback, if you must have, and are willi h to spend the dinero for all the extra amenities.
Yes. Since they finally added all the goodies for 2020 that it didn't have all these years, that was added in the Sport Sedan/Coupe for 2019. Keep in mind, that this is the fully loaded luxury version Sport Touring Hatchback version in this video. Joe reviewed a CVT version of the 2020 Sport Hatchback a while back.
@@Tsalinger how was your experience using the Costco auto program? Is it really good or just meh?
Great review. Honda makes some great products, I'm on my fifth Accord.
You are seriously coming a long way in your reviews. I like that you do your homework and know car specs in detail beforehand. Also, big thumbs up for bringing up the fact that you should never rest your foot on the clutch, even a bit. PS - the dead pedal is metal on the Accord Sport. It really does add a nice touch. I have the 2.0T 6MT Accord.
Great video love the video
Thanks Tommy for letting me share it with you!
I'd like to see a Civic Type R-Shawd with electric motors driving the rear wheels. This system could be adapted to the CR-V, Pilot, Passport, RDX and MDX. Toyota is taking shots at everyone with their hybrids.
Now we are talking!
It's nice and dandy to add more toys to the toy box, but when they drive up the initial costs, and start costing a whole lot of $, when they break down, especially if the computer controlled systems act up, like on Mercedes, BMW, etc.
Honda always seems to come with the A-Game. This new 2020 Sport Touring is no exception. I know what you mean about the seats Joe. I have the 2019 Civic Sport Sedan and I am always trying to find the sweet spot as far as seating position is concerned. When my lease is up in another two years I will definitely check out what Honda is offering. In the meantime I am really enjoying my Civic. Great job Joe, thanks for sharing.
Nice color scheme. I really like it! I also like the gear shift!
This car would look super clean in white! Very nice
All the Civic colors are nice, with silver being the most plain. But all the three colors available with the 6 Soeed Manual are all Pearl finish paints, the Sonic Grey shown here, the White, and Black, with the Sonic Grey Pearl having a unique chameleon like quality, looking different shades in various angles and lighting.
i have the sport hatch 2018 and pretty love it. just got some sounds mods ans boom fun time!!!
14:30 LOL I love how u said " it comes with a Subwoofer, but no Subwoofer " as u were trying to say something else LOL. When Joe can't formulate his words 🤣.
I just roll with it!
@@RaitisRides LOL
Yeah, I caught that too. He meant to say no 12 volt.
@@LS1007 LOL Joe's a real Stallion man 💪🏽🤣
Jay Patel Agreed!🏋🏻
That color is amazing I wonder how it'd like on a accord
I totally agree with you!
Nice looking Civic. The manual would definitely be the choice for fun driving. Thanks for sharing it Joe and nice review! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I am so glad that you like this one Larry!
The only thing I wish my Si had was the touring side mirrors with the LED turning signals😭😭
Great review.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Did you see him driving with RR logo on the dash? Freaking Awesome!!
I have to cover my tracks! LOL
At least it covered up that ugly digital speedometer.
That is a really nice unique color that really pops in person but seems lacking on camera. Still they need a SI hatch.
this light blue color is very underrated
need more to see on roads!!!!!!!!!
The color is Sonic Grey Pearl, only available on the Civic Hatchbacks. Other vehicle makes have a similar color, but those do not have the chameleon like properties of this paint, that looks different colors, depending on lighting and angles.
If I go back to Honda, this will be the Honda I buy. I have always loved this color on the Civic and the hatchback styling.
This is true.
Impressive trunk space. Wow!
Nice job with the review Joe! I do think that the trim is true leather opposed to the Leatherette mentioned in the video! My apologies if it is Leatherette however. I am really just assuming that Honda wouldn't step backwards as my 2013 Civic EX-L Navi has true leather seats.
I bought a red Hatchback Sport with the cvt, now wish I had opted for the 6. I really love the rest of the car it is beautiful.
Unless you live in Canada, it was not available in the US until this model year, 2020, if you can find one.
Love the color!
Is it just me or does anyone else think putting the type r engine in an Si coupe be one of the coolest things ever
OMG thats is a pretty Vehicle... I love the Civic's style... My Civic leaves money in my pocket at the end of the week.😎
Nice review. Based on your and others’ reviews of the 2020 Si, I got an Si. This was my number two choice. I chose the Si based on performance and price. This would still be an excellent choice.
I’m looking to get an Si as well. How do you enjoy the car so far? Any complaints?
Kevin Norris I wish it had the LED turn signals in the mirror. Other than that, no - I have no complaints. The sound enhancement in Sport Mode isn’t too terrible, the safety tech works great and their sensitivity can be adjusted or turned off (there was one magazine review that criticized the automatic high beams). Also, the shorter ratio in 6th does make the adaptive cruise work better for highway cruising. It really is a double personality car: total highway cruiser with tons of safety / high performance howler that asks you to give it more when you run it out. I am very happy with my car!
Bazoo 1968 If I bought it, I would disable that automatic braking feature they have. There is this feature where the car will brake if it detects an oncoming collision, but I’ve heard that this feature tends to goof. Out of nowhere, your car will slam on the brakes and that would be a big problem where I live. Other than that, I’m impressed with all the car offers for the price tag.
The forward collision system hasn’t done that for me at all. But it has a button over on the left side of the steering wheel where you can turn it off. So on the two times I’ve taken it out on two lane blacktop roads, I’ve turned that, the road departure mitigation, and traction control all off (those are the three buttons on the left). Also: you could be thinking of the road departure mitigation system. That has been sensitive, but like the other nanny-tech, you can adjust its sensitivity. I hope this helps.
If there was a civic si in a hatchback body style i would buy it in a heartbeat...
I think you are not alone!
That sonic grey pearl 😍
Night Fall it really fits the Civic!
My favorite is the Aegean Blue but the grey is also a very very close second
Raiti, you've driven the same year Si, so how does the Sport Touring really compare as far as performance?
I've got a 2019 Si Coupe, and wish it had more versatility as far as cargo, easy access to the back seat, etc.
I may be looking to trade my car for one of these or a Type R in the future.
I loved that color
My biggest zonk with the manual touring is that’s it’s only offered in this color and white or black. Thanks for this review though. I’ve been really looking forward to it.
Honestly I love hatchbacks and wanted an si hatch but after seeing all the models in person I got a black si sedan it looks way better than the hatch or the coupe.
If they make the si in a hatchback that would be amazing for 2021 with a whole new design
You can ONLY get the manual in the Mazda 3 if you opt for the top spec model, kinda odd but I'm glad its still available!
This is true!
Still like the black 10th gens most because it hides all the extra crap Honda puts but this is such a sick car. Would love to daily it.
Is the rev hang the same as the SI? Better or worse?
And does it have a spare tire? Unlike the SI.
At 4:10 - "This is an actual aerodynamic piece!" OMG! I own one of these and this guy is really reaching in this vid! Honda loves him though!
These new Civics look sharp. And they're fun I bet.
A blast to drive!
They’re really fun to drive, I got one a few months ago and I’m loving it
We also need to zonk no back seat vents.I like the civic but I feel it’s too low of a car for me to get out of I have a 17sonota and sometimes I struggle to get out of it
Matthew Rosado yes the seat is too low
Joe is it possible for you to review a Lexus RX or NX SUV maybe an IS as well
I actually have them coming soon!
Is the suspension very tight/sporty? I'm trying to get out of my 08 Civic EX partially because any time I go over a speed bump faster than 3 MPH I feel like I just went off a 10 foot ramp.
I just got the Honda Civic EX hatchback and it is surprisingly quick! Sport Touring was a bit to high of price and the Ex was perfect! Part of the Sonic Gray club lol
The 12volt in the cargo area is on the left side you just showed the right..
I want this car soooooo baaddd 😭 solar yellow with light gray interior 👀
oh ya the ABS unit. love that sexy ABS unit.
How does this model drive compared to the SI?
Three years ago today! So my first vehicle.
Im in love... i have the ex-l 2019
This car is only a tiny fraction slower than the Si in a very practical package. It’s quite compelling in either Sport or Sport Touring trims.
They need to add that color to the 2 door Civic and the accords too
That car is sweet.
I would love to see a DCT Si at some point. I don't know manual and don't care to at this point. I do enjoy sporty cars and would love taking that bad boy in a back road for fun.
the Sport Touring is the only Civic hatch with LED headlamps.
can those LED headlamps be installed in lesser hatch trims?
This car is going to age beautiful (especially the drivetrain) 👌
Ayyaz Mahmood yea like milk
Yes. The CVT is available, because the market majority wants an automatic. This one, unlike some other brands I won't mention will last quite a while with a CVT, if you change the transmission fluid about 40K miles, and don't abuse/thrash the car, but nowhere close to how long a manual can last, like their engines.
Love the way this car looks. Hopefully Honda has resolved the issues withe the A/C.
Very good points!
They did
T salinger1026 Is there a Service Bulletin/ Recall created? Do you have the link? My wife’s 1 year old Civic still has the A/C problems.. every time I take it to the dealer, they say they can’t replicate the issue. I call it BS
Somebody wiped their nose there... now i gotta go and burn my hands lol 😂
Nice work, and yes, why doesn’t Honda offer the Si in the Hatchback!!??
I have a 2017 Hatch Sport Touring CVT but wouldn’t have hesitated to upgraded to the Si if it was available as I wish it had more power.
I have little interest in the Type R though as It’s way to aggressively styled. (It’s not for everyone)
Only thing I don't like is that sticker on the front window.
It usually has to do with the dealer add-ons that raise the price.
AGREED!
Called a dealer addendum. Don't let that scare you. When I bought my Frontier they had one adding 3K for "market adjustment" You just have to be uglier then they are. I generally put my hand on that sticker, look at the sales person and tell them I don't even see this. I will negotiate off MSRP as if the addendum was not even there. Hate buying cars. Its such a game. Ended up getting it a dealer invoice with no doc fees. Some cars are harder to work good deals. But I would never pay over MSRP. Never. Dealer add on's are gimmicks and usually add little to no value.
@@HiPlains1 Knowledge is power. I call that stealership scalping fees. $3K seems like the standard dealership markup for the Hondas at the local dealership here, in Honolulu.
I’m surprised Joe glossed over the Black Pin Stripe along the sides of the front half of this Civic - hahah
Why dont they make two doors in a hatchback? Like the acura Integra looked. Then the back window can be large and have better visibility.
With a nice medium dark tinted windows and this color ... car will have a premium look
I totally agree with you!
Dude how do you stay in shape with all your junk food reference.
Everything in moderation. ;-)
Love the color. No ventilated seats??? Keep up the great job 👍
The color is great.I was shocked there weren't any ventilated seats.
@@RaitisRides
it would be stepping on the accord if they added ventilated seats.
@@RaitisRides Got to remember its a compact. I'm surprised it had the power seats. Can't even think of a compact that has that. But maybe they are starting to pad them up more.
@@HiPlains1 Just heated seats. Remember that the Sport Touring Hatchback is the luxury version of the standard Sport Hatchback, which seriously lacked extra goodies it got this year, for 2020, that was introduced last year in the non turbo 2.0L engine Civic Sport Sedan/Coupe. The Sport Touring Hatchback is there, if you like the Sport Hatchback, but willig to spend the extra money for the LED headlights, mirror turn signals, leather heated seats, sunroof, heated rear seats, right side seatback map pocket, rear seat center folding armrest with cupholders, and the 12 speaker, 540 Watt stereo system with onboard GPS, and the electric adjust front seats, and lighted visor vanity mirrors, automatic dimming rear view mirror, and maybe a few other things like rain sensing automatic windshield wipers.
Nice review Joe, I am picking up this exact car tomorrow only in black and CVT! Fun fact did you know these and the Type R’s are manufactured in Britain? I never thought I’d ever own a UK built car!
This is 100% true! Congrats on your new car Peter!
Yup Swindon UK! Sad truth however is that Honda is closing Swindon in favor of US locations in Ohio, the Carolinas and other various locations. But you made the right choice getting the Civic! Enjoy!
Honda is closing the Civic hatchback (including the Type R) production line in UK and move into the US in next couple of years. That's a good news I guess.
ken cai that would be one cool car plant tour!
I believe they have moved from the UK plant to Canada if they haven't already. Open the driver's door and check the sticker in the door jamb area for where it was built. And congrats. Enjoy.
I have the same issue with Honda Civics. The seat position is always lower than I like.
At least it isn't just me!
Have a 18 hatch and yes the seating position is lower than I'd like but then again my WRX has a high seating position. I can't win lol
@@xil3ntkha0s I hear a lot of WRX owners say that the seating position is too high. I always thought it was perfect. I like being able to see down the hood.
Car Story From a WRX owner, I think the seating position is great. I love being able to see the hood, and it makes it easier for me to determine if I’m going to hit the car in front of me when pulling out.
@@RaitisRides Joe, of you put a plywood board on the seatback, you can add lumber support real cheap! :D
Very nice car I love it
I’m looking for a manual hatchback right now and they’re really hard to find 😢
Got one 2 weeks ago :)
This Civic is an awesome daily driver only problem with it is the price. $28k is steep for what you're getting. Maybe makes better sense if you're leasing the car. Joe, great review as always. You're the hardest working man on TH-cam!
You hit the ail on the head! Thank you for your awesome support! It really means so much.
Yeah and something tells me its probably hard to get a decent discount on one. Maybe get 1K knocked off if your lucky. But I may be wrong.
Keep in mind, this is the fully loaded Sport Touring Hatchback. The now well equipped 2020 Sport Hatchback is a better value if you don't need all the optional gear.
It is not an Si. Sport Touring? Maybe they should call it a ST.
Doesnt Elantra GT N-line has a 6 speed manual w 1.6 turbo?
Yes it does!
