Thank you for watching.. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s video which will be of the all new 2022 Honda Insight. Unbelievable value while getting over 50 mpg! Thanks again, please subscribe, leave a like, and let me know in the comments what you like/ don’t like!
I own this. It’s a very cheap overpriced and over fee’s base car. The carpets are so thin. The paints thin, like that arm rest unlike leather will get dirty and won’t last the life of the car. No lumbar support for your back. The msrp is $25,960 but final cost is over $32,000. Lots of room inside though.
I like the new design but they cut lots of corners. No power drivers seat, no map pockets behind the front seats, hard plastic on the top door sills, no rear armrest, no power or USB connections in the rear, and no engine temp gauge on the instrument cluster.
Another excellent review. Your close-up photography is one of your strengths: I feel like I've actually test-driven this car (even though I never have). Showing the texture of the steering wheel, shifter, console, dash, etc. helps people warm up to the vehicle.
for 25K this is a great value! but it's 12/2023 now, and the cheapest you can get into this model (2024) is about 27K now, and that's just way too much for a base level honda civic. Jetta SE, and Mazda3 now has the best value!
The 1.5 turbo reliability is questionable. The gdi problems, carbon buildup, thin paint, coil pack and plug issues, oil dilution. China won’t allow them to be sold there because of the issues. Just search Honda dealership used civics, all 1.5 turbo’s with 30,000-50,000 miles. You won’t find any 2.0 non turbo’s for sale. 2.0’s are highly reliable.
I think any car with turbocharge can have reliability issues in the long run because it can strain the engine faster specially smaller engines like 1.5 liter compare to normal 4 cylinders,v6 or v8s w/out turbos..but sure thing it has more horsepower..
So you’re saying all those Civics with 30,000-50,000 miles and a 1.5 engine are already broken? I don’t think so. Honda is probably the world’s best engine maker. If they say the problem is fixed now then I’d believe them. They’ve got a reputation to uphold.
I test drove both this '22 base Civic and the base '22 Elantra with 147 hp and found the Elantra's engine a bit more peppy and quieter. I get the Civic is more better overall but for the $5000 savings over the Honda.. I have to really think about that ... spending
You’re right, most testers see times from high 7s to low 8s with the 2.0. I must’ve been going off the 1.5 when saying mid 7’s. Still sufficiently quick, but the 1.5t is definitely a stronger motor. Thanks for the comment!
@@WTFCRLT1 Did you do most your testing in Sport mode? Or is acceleration similar in Normal. I don't like sport mode since it seems to engine break anytime you take your foot off the pedal.
@@dakkon74 ahh no I only drove the car in normal mode. It was in sport initially, but I didn’t really notice much difference when I turned it back to normal. I usually remember to test out the different modes in more detail haha thanks for pointing that out.
So I had to trade in my 2019 golf R that a got new with the dsg.. for money saving reasons lol.. and got a brand new 2022 Honda Civic sport.. my first new Honda since my 1998 Honda prelude..that a got new .. showing my age lol.. and let me tell ya I love the new civic!!! The one and off center feel of the steering is great . Turn in is fantastic for this price.. and look reminds me of late 90s Honda’s .. very happy great car!! Not the fastest.. but great driving dynamics!
@@WTFCRLT1 My dilemma is I greatly prefer the Sonic Gray color, but the EX trim. That combo is not sold, so I am choosing between the Sport and the EX. My main issues with the Sport are the engine and the tire noise from the 18" wheels. About 90% of the reviews I have seen have called out the road noise, but all the reviews have been with the Touring or Sport. I'm guessing/hoping the EX with the 17"s are better in that regard. I am not too worried about the acceleration difference, as long as the 2.0 does not feel slow off the line.
How would I go about doing that? You’re not the first to mention this haha but just looking at my lenses, they look clean.. could it be the humidity just fogging up the glass at times?

I just bought mine for 24k out the door Certified pre owned. Tho bare bones, for that price I think it’s worth it. better than 32k at least lol

Understandable complaints man it would be nice if Honda threw in a few more goodies for the sport trim.. Appreciate your input thanks for the comment!
Map pockets? LOL.
Who uses a map anymore?

The lights make the car look flashy enough, beautiful car
14:49. Did you say USB’s all over the car? 🤣🤣
All 1 of them

Is it normal that under the floor mat on the passenger side, there's been a cut though the floor?
Mine is like that so I pressume yes lol, I was confused at first too.
@@Clt.princee Good to know I'm not the only one. Thanks!
Yes lots of cars have that. You'll find the Vin number there.
love the ps4 reference. tip: stop saying but

This is the 2.0 non turbo civic cvt correct ? How about the accord 2.0 turbo how’s the reliability on that

It's not questionable. It's been fixed. You have no idea what you're talking about.

You have no clue what you’re talking about bro
I have a 22 civic sport otw is the exhaust on this car stock
Yes
Does the steering feel kinda stiff or is it just me?? It feels like you need to turn it a little harder at higher speeds
My 2019 sport civic has push to open gas tank too so that isn’t new..
Thanks bro!
already ordered my laptop and 90mm turbo😎
nice presentation,well job done mate!
I test drove both this '22 base Civic and the base '22 Elantra with 147 hp and found the Elantra's engine a bit more peppy and quieter. I get the Civic is more better overall but for the $5000 savings over the Honda.. I have to really think about that ... spending
I’m switching from the elantra to the civic! Interesting take
Honda over Elantra all day long, for resale price alone.
@@garytryan Sure Honda resale is higher but you pay more for it
Do not buy from Regal. $7000 mark up.
everywhere rn
@@bigbufobufo got a delayed next to me with no markup at msrp and a 50 doc fee
That’s everywhere rn, I paid 29 for mine
True! If they want over msrp it’s a definite no biy
Most reviews peg the 1.5T at 7.2-7.5. I respect your opinions, but am a bit skeptical the 2.0 does 0-60 in 7.5 sec. If so, that is great though.

good review!! 🎉🎉
Thanks glad you like it!!
Would be nice to clean your camera lense.. getting a lot of smudge/dirt glare throughout video.
How would I go about doing that? You’re not the first to mention this haha but just looking at my lenses, they look clean.. could it be the humidity just fogging up the glass at times?
Does it have remote start??
Yes
🤜🤛👊👌👏🙏
Show muito top 👏👏👏👏👏
The handling hasn't been tinkered with. Neither the engine, except for a 6hp bump. And the exterior is boooooring.👎
You must like the boy racer look. Wait for type R or Si, or go with a Malibu.
The exterior is so much classier than 10th gen. If you like angles and fake vents, 10th is better.
Who the fuck cares about the interior
bro i know this has nothing to do with your great review but you need to shave those legs
As a man that’s a horrible idea
gey
Shave your legs? What are you a girl?
