Bought one of these, so happy with it, handles well, feels like a sports car, the interior is well finished and sound system sounds amazing. Well done Honda, it's great to be back on team Honda after a few years absence !
This is the first Honda i'd buy for a long time! Finally an up to date driveline and good looks inside and out. Mazda has been smashing Honda for the last decade.
Wish we had got the RS in the states. Or a version like that. We got the SI , or like i have a 19 coupe ext . Just wish the EX-T had some of the sporty stuff. We never get the cool thing as well, things like auto folding side mirrors for example.
Are you absolutely sure Australian Civic come fitted with Acoustic Windscreen? It's standard in US but doesn't seem so in Thailand and Malaysia. In fact Honda Malaysia has come firmed it's not fitting Acoustic Windscreen on Civic.
I’m confused I go on car sales and it says it’s one speed automatic. Now I don’t have my learners yet but I’m thinking of getting this car. Someone pls explain
You did? Cool! I wish I could also drive one. I've seen on the Honda Au website the remote only has 3 buttons though instead of 4. Is the remote that you've seen the one that reads "hold"?
Nope automatic with paddle shift option only. Not enough people bought manuals in the last model for Honda to justify it. The new Type R will have a manual option when it eventually releases though.
I did and found out base corolla drive-away is $20,990, the base honda is $28,000. Almost half as much again. The purchase price and ongoing costs of this car leave it left behind. Should be about $21-22,000 and even then resale is through the floor and nowhere near approaching the reliability of a Toyota. Disappointing the reviewer doesn't mention any of this. Also servicing quoted costs are TWICE a Toyota.
+robm462900 bet they didnt mention servicing costs and part prices are uber expensive. ur right base civic with steel wheel not alloys 25990.base corolla manual 20, 990..my point is reviewer should mention its a much more expensive car to buy and maintain than a corolla without the resale..diff err ent to drive but in same class
I totally agree with Quick Sipper apples and oranges when comparing the driving & owning experience and 5k difference max before haggling. The new civic is a dream to drive. I've had an '07 Civic for 9 years absolute dream car to own with nil problems in 280,000kms and servicing costs are very comparable to corolla where I go. Fitted after market front rotors for $150 pair at 220,000 kms. Have you ever even owned a Honda?
Robert Mitchell Just Toyotas myself obviously problem free, but plenty of friends with Hondas complain about servicing and resale. One problem with my Toyotas, they are kind of boring in a way though.

Driver6M in Australia only. US Europe Canada, the opposite is true
Thank you Steve Job
HAAHAHHAAH
stunning new Civic
The black grille looks much better than the chrome grille we get in the U.S.
The Si will fix everything... hopefully.
I thought Americans like all flashy things...
plasti dip
Never thought I’d like a blue Civic until I saw one today on the road!
1:50 seems like that car needs the blind spot camera....pulls out in front of the bike.
Damn I wish us in America got the RS package. This thing looks sweet.
Eric Mcdonald I wish we got the manual transmission in Australia
You guys got 2l turbo model.we are stuck with 1.5 l model.

Should bring 2 litre turbo model here.We are classed as small market.
Lovethe head light!

If they put an awd on it I might consider buying one..
Why won't Honda bring paddles to the U.S.?
Is the Australian version have the Remote Engine Start?
yes. just not on the base model. test drove one today.
You did? Cool! I wish I could also drive one. I've seen on the Honda Au website the remote only has 3 buttons though instead of 4. Is the remote that you've seen the one that reads "hold"?
It shows him starting it with push start in the video
Ryan Arnold I am talking about the remote button start, not the button inside the car
Don't have Remote Engine Start in AU
I like the design from the front
the back doesnt look that nice though
Why no manual? 😤
does it come in manual?
Nope automatic with paddle shift option only. Not enough people bought manuals in the last model for Honda to justify it. The new Type R will have a manual option when it eventually releases though.
+Pickles Jar yep true.
so does RS model has SENSING ?
Attila Khan no
great car
But no manual.. *cries*.. *heart in pieces on the floor*.. otherwise I would get one right now. I don't want the type R, I just want the itty 1.5L!
Andre Brokman the new civic si will be manual
Very expensive for parts and servicing and its almost $10,000 dearer than standard corolla and $5000 dearer than corolla hybrid. Its a fail.
Apples and oranges, compare a base civic to a base corolla

RS? when are they going to get in trouble with Ford?
Was loving it until turbo & motor went/not going at 48,000km.. They dont care.
1.5 turbo??? wtf.... thats like old CRX size of engine
Did the CRX have a turbo?
no i dont think soo
Nice commercial, When does the real review start?
EURO EURO EURO!!!
best interior in class? not really
Yeah really
What cars are in its class?
CVT, yuck.
i dont like the look of this civic
AND YOU ARE A BULLSHIT!
the civic keeps getting uglier. Its sad when auto makers turn everything into spaceships.
Civic's have a generally more futuristic feel. My 2006 model certainly does and I love it. It differentiates them from the competition.
look ugly and expensive
+Jiruchi Burned!!! lmao that comeback tho xD
***** honda make japanese crap more than before! :(
expensive if you don't have the money. Is it overpriced? I think not.
and you area vullshit!
