The 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport is a badass looking spacious car perfect for economical everyday driving, but although it has the sporty look it is REALLY lacking the sound that one would imagine should come out of that large center exit exhaust in the rear.

Let me know your favorite part about the Civic Sport or what other cars you want me to review!
For once someone who likes the design, I almost only see guys who bitch about it and say how ugly it is.
Michael Hansen most of those people drive 20 year old Camrys. They are just bashing on stuff they can't afford.
Francis Fung I drive a 2017 WRX and I'll say the civics are ugly
Lazy Boi WRX? The concept was beautiful but the production model is nothing like it. It's been hit with the ugly stick. You can't honestly say it looks better than the Type R.
Francis Fung I have no problem saying the WRX is better looking. In my opinion I hate hatchbacks and the those three exhaust. The front of the type r look beautiful but the rear is just hideous.
Francis Fung although I will say I recently went to look at a new si just because I was curious about them. I have no intentions in buying an si. I saw it in a lime green 2 dr model, I will say they look better in person than on video.
The content of your review is well thought out, like a well written essay. Your topic transitions are smooth and you stay on subject. Haha sorry I'm sounding like an AP English teacher.
On a side note, the straight piped Civic sounds like my stock '07 Civic Si
Thank you for the kind comment, sound like an AP English teacher as much as you'd like haha!
That's what I figured in terms of exhaust sound, I'd really like to drive/hear the new Si and of course, the Type-R :)
I own one. I love it 200%. Silent is sneaky. Fun to drive. Stay responsible automobile owners, especially the careless and young drivers.
This is not a fast car but it's definitely not slow either.
Yeah I agree, the only problem is the speed but other then that Its a great looking car and the acceleration isnt that bad. I am probably going to buy one end this year or wait for the 2018 model
not fast for American standard i guess. I drive 1.0 liter 3 cyl engine with 64hp everyday and pretty happy with it. haha
I'm only doing a small amount of upgrades. Hondata, intake, intercooler, slotted rotors, full coilover kit and CF OEM hood.
+Jason Lopez wow that'll be a wicked setup! If you have photos when it's done on Instagram, please share them!
Should I Get It will do
I really like this car and the only reason I would get the sport over the si is cause well the si is ugly as a coupe and doesn't come In a hatch back so the sport is the next option and it only has like 10hp less then the si anyways I just like that it's a 4 door and definitely like the manual
I currently have a 1998 Honda Civic ej8 coupe and that's slowly becoming way too race car so I'm gonna need a new daily and this is a really good option
Seems like you’ve got it figured out for yourself! Thank you for watching Vick :)
bro, is there any way to change this boring old radio screen !!
+Jalal Alani possibly but I haven’t seen any done.
I don't know much about cars but I'm not so sure that tunes are a good idea for the average person. tunes will void the warranty and I'm gonna bet that other upgrades would be necessary to accommodate the increase in power...did you work for this car? lol
Other upgrades would not be necessary for more power, I am aware of this as I have a tune on my F56 Mini Cooper S.
My video is to show my thoughts of the car and what I would do personally, recommendations for like minded enthusiasts if you will. It's a great car already without the tunes, for the average person.
What is meant by the question, did I work for the car? The car is not mine.
Has your Mini been reliable with a tune? How many miles on it?
About 5,000 miles since I got the tune. Not a single issue
I miss my Mini turbo.
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved
Thanks for watching Carson!
I just went to a muffler shop and had some one put a 2 3/4" pipe from the cat to the back and muffler delete and I have a K&N intake it sounds great 😍 oh yeah it was only $50 for the exhaust mod
+Andy Fulcher nice!! Got a link to a video of that setup?
Should I Get It I'm actually making the video today and will leave link in comment once I post the video to my channel
Bro this guy had me f'd up when he said to spend 700 more for an "ok " exauhst
Andy Fulcher where’s the link, boss? Trying to do this too.
The fact that you didn't hear sh*t ==> it's an advantage dude , Honda spent a lot of money to realize this...
To each his own, I would love to not hear sh*t in the standard model, but I wish the "Sport" had a little more umph.
Thank you for watching Dan, I hope you subscribe! Would you like to see me review a Civic Type R or SI?
Does it piss anyone else off that the shift know is crooked..
Delete this
Lmao no
Had mine for a few weeks (Sport Manual) and I love it. Perfect commuter car and a blast to zip around in! Nice bid😎
+Vloggingadventureswithrob nice' thanks for watching :)
Just bought a 2018 Sport Hatchback. The "Polished Metal" color is absolutely amazing and the car looks better in person than it does in the photos. The turbo is very smooth. Overall the car is very good. The only real problems that I can live with are there is no option for a Moon Roof on the Sport. And the button e-brake sucks and it's indicator light is tucked away at the bottom right corner. It's hard to see.
Congratulations on the new ride! I know exactly what you're talking about in terms of the looks and the Polished Metal is a looker for sure. Thanks for the comment Jay!
7 July 2007 finilly i gott my new Sport Plus polish grey...justo love my Honda!
I ordered one of these in January, it arrived mid April. It would have been way less time if I wasn't holding out for MT and Aegean Blue
After the break in period, even with spirited driving, Its hard to get under 30 MPG and very easy to hit over the claimed 39mpg-hwy.
Only complaints are the Electric Ebrake and the fabric on the armrests, its just garbage.
why did i pay 30000 for mine?
Where in the world are you located?
canada, and it was actualy 37,000 with warranty and interest.
2018 sport touring CVT is $30,890 in canada before taxes/freight.
The sedan touring is about $27,500
Ripped off much?
its because the pricing he is saying is USD. 23000 USD is 29853.08 CAD right now.
Imo, this is what the type R should have looked like, looks very nice! It would make a great family car..
This Car is calling my name!!
Ashton!!!!
Ashton De Buitléir me tooo the car is sexy:-)
how did you get a manual ! I want to buy a sport hatchback with a MANUAL trans . Every Honda dealer says they #1 don't have one #2 cant get one #3 Honda don't make them #4 cant order or build one #5 you have to settle for the CVT . I have a 2000 civic SI and I cant buy a new car without the manual . Do you have any suggestions please ! thank you
Make sure it's not the Touring Package Spot Hatch. Where are you located? Only the base model Sport comes with a manual.
I know that - I just bought the sport manual in black ! it is great !
WOOHOOO! Congrats, and enjoy the ride :)
The new si only comes in manual
Grow up Gertrude. Make Vroom, Vroom sounds with your mouth if it bothers you. Nothing's more ridiculous that hearing race car sounds coming out of a 4 cylinder put put. I must say Honda has made some strange choices when it comes to packaging. You should be able to mix and match from the parts bin as your wallet allows. I hate it when companies shoe horn unwanted options like Ford with those ridiculous recaro seats. It's almost a deal breaker. I'm holding out for the si hatch (I know, I know but someday).
I’m getting 40 mpg w the cvt
Jack Cordle thats good:-) love honda
Slap an intake on and it will sound good. You'll hear the turbo spool and the stock bov sound is decent
DrWeeWe wont it die with a puddle/flooded road??
Dana Harvey it's nice to hear a turbo spool of regardless for what someone uses the car for, right?
DrWeeWe for 50 bucks u can get a really good bov sound
@@greenespirit4973 and you would make the engine rich, which is not a good thing u would lose about 10ish hp
Thank you for putting my name on the screen when you showed my video :) Great review! I subscribed!
+Uberlight2 thanks for allowing it and subscribing :D
2018 version has the rear center armrest.
I agree with most of what he said. I just got the LX.
2 things that are incorrect:
1) Heated seats, I have the LX and it has heated seats.
2) The arm rest in the back. The middle seat does come down to make and arm rest and has 2 cup holders.
Super sick car and great for the price point. Nothing else is going to beat this car and it's relative category.
Yes the LX has those but this the sport, which does not.
LX in Canada has heated seats, but in the USA
I get 34mpg on average and I live in the suburbs, lmao how are you driving!
Lower gears, higher revs, and more mountain roads!
Im a truck guy but this car looks awesome. I like that thr engine is quiet. I dont like to attract attention anwyays.
Thanks for watching David!
I am the same way. It's why I like the looks of the golf/gti.
I have a 2017 civic sport hatch manual . Its only 13 months old and the front floor mat already has a hole in it ! It took my 2000 civic SI 15 years to wear out the floor mat ! The interior and the paint job on this car (its black ) is so cheap man if you vacuum it too hard the sides near the doors caves in ? anyone else notice this on their 10th gen civic?
Its not "fully loaded" because it has no options... ITS A BASE MODEL
Good point Shaq!
its wierd how in the uk and im guessing euro too, the honda civic 1.5 turbo is supposed to get 48-49mpg
Hi Mike, thanks for watching! "Part of that is that Imperial gallons are different than US gallons. 1 US gallon = .83 Imperial gallons. 45 US MPG = 54 Imp MPG. Or, 65 Imp MPG = 54 US MPG." - Jalopnik's Why Do European Cars Get Better MPG Than US Cars? Article
thanks for clearing that up, again nice video
mike walling also in Europe you can get a 1.0L engine that gets even better mpg
Got 1.5 Sport plus manual. Sun roof, sat nav, variable dampers, LED headlights, BLIS, The exhaust grunts. Nice car. The only downside so far is the over revving in between gear changes. Seriously needs a remap
Best civic sport hatchback review I’ve found so far. Good job.
Thank you so much!
Looks like I scored on my sixteenth birthday.
If they had a 2.4 NA liter option, I️ would have bought I️t the day I️t came out. I️ can’t get over the 1.5 and the quite nature of the exhaust...Even with a catback, it’s more quite than my stock k24
Probably the last manual turbo hatchback Honda will ever make and the price is great for what you get.
I don't care about "uncomfy" seats, imperfect paint jobs, or even if it burst into flames randomly.
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?
Yeah put a tune and an aftermarket exhaust on a brand new car and void the warranty so you have to pay 10,000 dollars to have a new engine put in, when said tune, blows a piston through the hood. Don't listen to boy racer here, if you by a new car drive it in stock form at least until the warranty is up.
Thanks for the review. Really considering this car.
Thanks for watching! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
Hope you subscribe.
These look so sporty, but I still prefer our old 1997 Accord because of child memories of it.
I got the Civic Sport Touring, I like it, like you said wish it was louder. Underrated handling though and definitely can go. The headrests are a bit too firm for a touring car IMO and you feel too much road and hear too much of it for a touring car I will say. However other than that I really like it. I think more young people like the styling than older folks as well. I love it as well but I'm 29, I've read tons of stuff about how the thing is butt ugly. To each their own lol.
i like the up coming toyota chr.....but this turbo 1.5 180hp 30-40mpg is vey impressive
Don't get a tune there is a guy on TH-cam who tried going stage 2 and blew his engine. Couldn't afford to get another 1.5l so he had to get a K24 swapped in.
Well then maybe stock cars should stay on stage 1 :)
Tool mobile. Fake ass sports car
Are u Nick Jonas?
+MasterPain Maybe.
It’s strange that you said that there was no option for heated seats and a moon/sunroof on the sport hatchback, I say this because I’m picking one up tomorrow that has those things on it and it’s got push button start too.
You’re getting a 2021 MY? They didn’t have the options back then.
I love this intro
+Travis Harris thank you! Big ups to Sean for the driving in that clip.
how do I play my vast cd collection? most 35+ y/o dont use smart phones
Maybe you could get a USB CD drive and plug that in
Nick Romano Everybody has a smart phone past 35
Nick Romano dude, I’ve seen plenty of old wrinkly gray haired people using smart phones. Lmao you fossil
Got mine on Saturday like that one
Nice ride, enjoy! Thanks for watching the video
I'm so disagree with a centre armrest with a 6mt as you mentioned, for the cvt it is great to have.
gd rev
Thank you Jay
Dude half of the video we see you talking about the car, dont get me wrong but the last thing we want to see in a review is yourself, we want to see the car while you talking... Otherwise we better search for opinions in forums instead of watchong you talking. Dont take it personal, just an opinion
Thank you for your feedback! What specific type of shots should I have added?
@@shouldigetit For example I notice that the shortest shot that you made was from the dashboard and in my case, thats what I was looking for. So maybe try to put more emphasys on that, also there are people that search for the speed, some others for the economy fuel, the multimedia, the center storage.. And things like that. Im glad that you understand, best regards and cheers
I cant afford it so Im gonna say this thing is butt ugly
haha
What if I'm a kid who got a shitty job and also bad at managing money?
Find a Sugar Daddy who will buy you one.
The Polished Metal color on the Sport Hatchback is amazing. Just wait until you see one in person.
Put your mouth to work
Please compare vs the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport w/ 1.6 Turbo & 6MT when it comes out.
stayedfaded i have an Elantra Sport GT, and that car is phenomenal! I do like the civic hatch as well. But the stock exhaust and that fact that is has 200hp just won me over
I personally went with the Civic because of the feel and stance of the interior. You can actually see some of the hood. It gives a feeling of depth. I like the gauges better on the Civic. The Civic has an option for a two tone interior. Plus it's a Honda! The only thing I didn't like was the Sport didn't have an option for a Moon Roof. I'm not sure about the Elanta. The Elantra has two things over the Civic. Slightly more power, and the exhaust sounds really good.
stayedfaded true. Close comparison
I’m personally in the market for both of these cars right now. Trying to decide which to buy
I have an Australian base model and I have more features than your sport model... the only thing I don't have is the dual exhaust and push to start. I have arm rest with 2 cup holders in the back seats, 17 in alloy wheels, 6 inches touch screen in dashboard with car play.
+Carlito Columna Interesting.
Should I Get It yeah. maybe the built is different for each country?
How is the fit an finish of the car? specially the exterior? exterior body panel alignment?
I checked out the sedan a couple months back. You could fit a good 15 sheets of paper through the trunk gap.
In Singapore, this is almost 100k USD. Tell me about fairness.
Crazy. That’s because of the import and registration and taxes correct?
Should I Get It it’s because of smth called COE. Like a cert to own a car, every month it’s a different price based on supply and number of bids. on average now it’s about 30-40k on top of your car price. And the cert expires in 10years, u need to renew and buy a new cert if u want to continue owning and driving your car.. so yea..
It seems like in certain Asian countries you gotta be pretty rich to own a car. Especially when scooter / mopeds are so dominant..
why am I watching this when I already bought a honda civic sedan ex T_T. Im regretting my decisions, I should have done more research
Haha so that you know what to get for your next car!
well, it was only a lease so I might get the hatch back next time lmao. Thanks!
Ford Fiesta ST makes 199 HP
1.6L Turbo is faster and lighter stock.
The Civic Sport Hatchback's HP is underrated. It is a fast car for it's class.
Great review! I really like the little touches you covered too, not just the bland cookie cutter review.
Thank you for the comment Josh, that is always my goal and I’m glad I achieved it!
It's not really fully optioned...if there are no options to be had!
+Eric Chang haha true either way I guess! Thanks for watching Eric :) hope you subscribe
i just picked up a certified preowned fun car so far
Nice, enjoy!
Am I the only bothered by the crooked shifter
First one to comment about it, but swapping the shifter setup wouldn't be too hard.
Is there a push to start? Either included or option?
I don’t believe they have it as an option.
I love the design.. I'm currently in the market for one.. I want mine in grey but no one here in Atlanta has the 6 speed in that color.. found one a few states away tho
+Xavier Moss thanks for watching! Is the dealer willing to trade with whoever has the Gray so you don't have to pay shipping? Grey looks really good
Should I Get It I'm hoping they are.. can't find out until Tomorrow.. holiday.. I'm pretty much obsessing over getting that specific trim.. I don't drive automatic
Xavier Moss no 6 speed unless u go si or type r
As you see in this video, the car has a 6-speed and is neither an SI or a Type-R.
Just order a 2018 6MT today, should be one of the first MY18.
That's sweet! Enjoy it Taylor :)
How long is the wait for delivery?
I was told end of August, just happened to be there right when they were making there 2018 order.
I love the design of this car. I see it on the road and just fantasize.
A true piece of eye candy.
what kind of exhaust do you have one it?
In this video it’s the stock exhaust.
i got the same one & its awesome :) i think it has a small sound to it maybe not big but u can hear it.
I live in New York and wonder how it would handle in the snow?
+Greg Wells which part of NY? For show I’d always recommend AWD but with good snow tires it should be okay
central ny.
what do you think of cvt transmision
+Alessandra L great for daily driving
Where can I get an exhaust
Right here amzn.to/2DHEcap
Will the tune void factory warranty
Great question
what was the name of the company that increases the horse power?
HonData
dangermoose666 Hondata .
@@cfervega19801 i was reading the hondata isnt good for a tune kpro is better i just bought the car two days ago so im still learning about it
Does getting it tuned void the warranty?
This is a question you would have to ask a Honda service advisor or contact Hondata
Yes
Yes it does.
damn sound, I need silence
Well thankfully for you it’s very quiet!
lol.... some douche chased my Fiesta St around with his yesterday, i put a busslength on him at every try, even yawned at him... and my car is cheaper brand new... and from the mpg this guy gets i only get 0.5mpg less.
sport hatchback?no no no no no...its an out of ideas car.
Ahh why manual automatic would be better
im gonna save for the 2018 Honda civic Si.
Awesome! Hope it happens sooner than later for you :) Best of luck!
I owned one; although it was a decent car, I have a few major dislikes about it:
1) Really, really terrible seats. I don't even have a bad back and this was the first car to really be uncomfortable in the lumbar.
2) Really, REALLY shitty tech overall. The bluetooth crapped out half the time (I really wish I was over exaggerating, freezing the entire screen. The only way to reset the screen was to turn off the car, then turn it back on. Honda tried to "fix" it, but it looks like a glitch from the default system.
3) Not a sporty car whatsoever. The manual is slightly better, but I would compare it to a much slower, less torque-y version of a BRZ (if even that).
How long did you own it for? When?
Lol what a troll. Brz has less torque with a massive dip in the low range. You never owned this car. Just stfu
Jesse Xiong z
Yeah, you never owned one.
The sport hatch is a nice looking car but there's so many issues I've read about fit and finish, electronics/warning lights, uncomfortable front seats, it's hard to consider purchase until Honda fixes all these problems. The CivicX forum is ripe with dozens and dozens of complaints ranging from bad paint jobs to creaks to leaky trunks. CR won't recommend the Civic but they really haven't gone in depth about why except to say it's been very unreliable. 2 of the 3 Civic Sport YT'ers I've followed have had frustrating problems in their first few months of ownership. It seems that at their factory in England they have a mad buffer going up and down the assembly line scratching and over smudging up the paint jobs. Honda needs to fire a bunch of folks in Swindon.
This Civic is a fairly radical design from the previous generation. I like the style and colors but I don't like the very low riding seats and the multitude of problems that are being reported. Maybe the lowest LX trimline has the fewest of issues because it has the lowest tech?
Bottom Line: This Civic is a nice looking car that needs a lot of fix actions by Honda before it truly can be a recommended buy.
Eric Haynes Had mine for three months and no issues 👌 Maybe the plastics are kinda scratch prone, either than that. It's very good!
That's great news Tommy. I'm just wondering if you've taken the chance to really go over the paint job to check for over sanded areas, check the gaps between the trunk lid, and also check for paint overspray/errors inside the trunk/door jams etc. I'm just curious if every car has a bunch of these issues as it seems. I read one new civic owners comment that he was amazed by all the paint chips all the way down to the bare metal after owning the car just 2 months. He was very upset by the trunk lid and overspray as well. Hopefully your car doesn't have any of these unnecessary issues..my impression is the folks at Swindon, England are erratic with their quality control.
Eric Haynes I've bought the Aegean Blue Honda Civic Hatchback EX. The CVT with Honda Lane keep and Android/ apple car play. My friend detailed the car, there was a little "orange peel" from factory. kinda like a blotchy look. so he removed that using a denim pad. Then compound, polish then Teflon sealed it. the gaps are okay. the interior trunk handle broke off, which I've reattached myself. Either than that, nothing out of the ordinary. Ride quality is very good, goes over potholes like butter as opposed to my Audi.
Hey Tommy, I'm glad your enjoying your civic..the blue hatchback really looks great. I suspect there's a few hung over Brits that go up and down the factory line buffing these Civics to no end. If I was Honda management a lot of them would be getting fired. I remember my first red 88 Honda Accord it didn't have a single flaw..now, 30 years later every civic hatch comes off the line with paint problems.
I do agree with you somewhat but in this case there are a lot of posts with pictures of misaligned fenders and bad/flaky/overspray paint jobs. Overall, I really do like the sport hatch but I simply cannot pull the trigger until I get more confidence that Honda fixing some of these problems.
whats a good place to get the exhaust system to sound as it looks??
+Esteban Gutierrez google for a Muffler shop in your area and get their recommendations. Once you order the exhaust have them do install.
I'm new to knowing about cars since this sport being my first actual car. I've seen other videos where a straight pipe is installed or something like that. What do you think about that??? Thanks.
Did you upgrade exhaust yet?
Get a mazda3 instead, better interior and driving experience! It also doesn't have a lame cvt in higher trims but space isn't as good it's still decent
