Absolutely nothing has changed since my 2020 Mazda 3 . I wish Mazda would’ve given the 2025 a refresh of the front and rear fascia/ headlights.
Crazy in 2023, My Civic Sport does not have a cup holder in the back seat. Sucks. So glad the Civic is not going EV.
By the way, excellent review and so helpful!! Easiest review I’ve found to follow and best! You’re awesome! Thx!! Oh and yes, anyone I’ve showed it to says it looks like the Lambo. 😉
I really appreciate the support and you taking the time to leave a nice comment. So glad you share my Lambo thoughts too!
Do you know when the 2025 will be out for purchase? The only thing I can find says spring 2025. I want 2025 because rear assist and remote start will be standard. They also have a cool bright blue new aquamarine color coming out in 2025 but they are getting rid of the bright sunset color that I actually liked!
Word on the street is it’ll be available very soon! Thank you for watching!
No changes, thank god. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
Thank you for watching!
Do you know if the new Trax’s have improved in maintenance quality? I use to have a 2013 Chevrolet Trax and it was a money pit in maintenance cost.
I’m not too sure about that. As with any vehicle, there are some that are bad for whatever reason. I think this Trax is probably pretty solid. Thank you for watching!
Appreciate the good info delivered so succinctly. Now if only you can tell us when the Civic hybrids will be available!
Honda has only said “later this summer”. Appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!
Not a big fan of CVT.
I am a big fan of the ECVT. Especially Toyota's power split with no belt and gears which never uncouple.
Positives and negatives when compared to an automatic. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. Exactly what I was looking for.
So glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
is there google built-in in 2025 CIVIC Type-R? just like hybrid
I don’t see the Type R listed as having built in google for 2024. Thank you for watching!
so what are the differences between the 2025 and the 2024 ?
A new blue color is the only change that I can find. Thank you for watching!
Great review,! Just wanted to add that the Trueno come both manual and automatic
Thank you for watching!
One power port nooooo Honda sucks
Right! Of all the ways to cheap out…disappointing. Thank you for watching!
Hi Ben, you mentioned in the video that you would not recommend any Hyundai on and before 2019, I have 2020 santa fe having an engine failure. This vehicle is the last model year with the same engine as 2019 and before. My dealer is blaming me for a carbon deposit but I feel like he is talking non-sense. Would you share some ideas when I talk to them? Thanks in advance!
I don’t want to mislead here, as I’m not an expert on engines. Simply trying to put a lot of information from different sources into one place. That being said, I think all you can do with your dealer is prove you’ve done all the recommended maintenance on time. As long as you’ve done that, an engine failure shouldn’t be your fault. Hopefully that can help in some way. Thank you for watching!
great car
Thank you for watching!
Excellent review! I see the appeal of all the 2025 Honda Civic trims. If you just want basic reliable point a to b transportation, then choose the LX or Sport gasoline trims and save money. If you want more creature comforts and save thousands long term in gas and want more power, get the Sport Hybrid or Sport Touring Hybrid. I would definitely choose the 2025 Civic over the 2025 Corolla. Although the 2025 Civic is a lil more expensive (though I'm sure Toyota will hike up the MSRP for 2025 Corollas so the price difference won't be much), the Civic just gives you so much more from a more premium high quality interior, more passenger space, more cargo space, more power etc.
I like your analysis! Both great options, and I love how there’s something for everyone. This hybrid may take over the segment with that power and MPG’s. Thank you for watching!
Could you explain how to know when to downshift? Like at what speed and rpm when slowing down should I drop a gear.
The RPM’s are the important part. There are many gears you could be in for many speeds so if you’re looking to go back down a gear, just makes sure your RPM’s aren’t high for that shift. Being below 2,000RPM’s is a good benchmark. You can do it with higher RPM’s but you can’t do it so high that you’ll reach redline. Thank you for watching!
wow so the 2025 Camrys are hybrid only, no gas??? I start at Toyota tomorrow coming from. Hyundai store and your videos are absolutely AWESOME in giving me a head start to learning these trims!!!
Hey Sam, so glad my videos are helping! Be sure to go through my Toyota Trim Breakdown playlist. I have quite a few Toyota’s I’ve done. Thank you for watching and good luck at the new job!
@@Benscarreviews was watching that list when I commented 😎
The 2024 Ridgeline is not currently on sale. There’s a recall already on the new Honda trucks. Apparently they have an electrical problem with a rear wiring harness. Just found out yesterday.
That’s unfortunate. Thank you for watching!
I enjoy my 2023 Chally SXT Plus in F8 green with black out package. Great info on the lights, I was not aware that they were not already set on. What are your thoughts on engine cover? Still contemplating whether to purchase one or not. Your engine sounds great!
That’s a great color scheme! F8 is beautiful. Unless an engine cover looks super cool, I’d assume not have one. I love this thing! Thank you for watching!
We had a guy at a dealership I worked at .. he was easily in his 60's. He worked magic with a razor blade and soap.. I wouldn't suggest it though.. One small nick in the blade and bye bye paint job
Yep definitely need a steady hand. Thank you for watching!
How can I get the kia k5 gt1? All they show is the gt line I want the gt top of the line can you help me?
If the trim isn’t in my chart then they aren’t having it for model year 2025. Thank you for watching!
Will be my next vehicle. Everyone one i know that owns one loves it. Will also be my 1st "truck" ever. Any thoughts on the VCM? I hear it has issues at 100k.
I’ve heard nothing but great things all around. I hope you can get one! Thank you for watching!
I'm interested in how the 2025 models differ to the 2019 ones
It would be tricky to find full 2019 specs at this point but I bet you could. Thank you for watching!
@@Benscarreviews yeah, I'd be able to, using the internet archive and old reviews but basically, the answer is nothing much. probably not a single panel or piece of interior trim. not the engine. that's why it should be easy to narrow down the changes. I mean, what would make someone want to buy a brand new one when they can get an identical car for half the price? well, i guess, a new car is nice and after a few years a number of minor bugs are usually ironed out.
Crystal clear... it's fun to find a scenic road with lots of curves and downshift as you enter the curve then upshift as the curve unwinds... for those new to driving stick shift, this helps one learn a lot about how car transmissions work as a bonus
Appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!
Hoping they release a new mazda 6 wagon!!!!!!!!!
That would be epic! Thank you for watching!
Whyd they stop making mazda6
With an inline six
@@3ciano5non-suv's are a dying market. Not really worth the investment
Great job on this! Concise, and a nice voice to listen to!
I really appreciate you saying that! Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the review Ben. What are the differences between the 24 and 25 Envista ST, and are there any differences other thank mileage between the U.S. and Canadian made Envista ST? TIA 🙂
It’s essentially the same vehicle for 2025. I’m not positive if Canada has differences specifically but I can’t imagine it would be anything drastic. Thank you for watching!
Looks like they're ripping off the Dodge viper to me
Viper will always be the 🐐. Thank you for watching!
Will Mazda ever put a Hybrid in this vehicle?
Hopefully not, hybrid and electric are the biggest rip off of modern age, hot garbo
@@phervil2774 I want my 55+ MPG.
I can see it happening, but not sure. Thank you for watching!
I wish Mazda made a modern coupe.
They should’ve gone a sportier route instead of the new CX-70. Appreciate your support!
@@BenscarreviewsIt would be a good idea for a coupe, again. If they don’t, I’d imagine, one day. They will become like Mitsubishi’s modern day inventory where it’s just SUVs
does the back seats fold down?
They should, yes. Thank you for watching!
@@Benscarreviews how far down/flat do they fold down??
I've had my 2024 ST for a little over a month. Best mileage so far has been right at 36 MPG. I've had atleast 4 people comment, "that's a Buick?" Has been a great daily drive so far. Thanks for the review on this 2025.
It’s such a good looking vehicle. Congrats on yours. Thank you for watching!
My wife has a 2013 RDX tech (with 64,000 miles!); she wants another one. I'm thinking about the Tech Package again. She does not need bigger wheels-smallwr tires. I hate panoramic moonroofs but they all seem to come with it.
That would be a nice setup! Thank you for watching!
This is my dream car, I hope I can buy one one day
You can do it! Tons of these on dealer lots right now. Thank you for watching!
Cannot even believe Trax does not have any padded armrests. Glaring oversight.
That’s unfortunate! Thank you for watching!
This is like an suv but a sedan as well I actually like it and I hate the shape of suvs I would buy honestly
It’s a great happy medium. Thank you for watching!
I prefer to buy CX5😅
A great option also! Thank you for watching!
I went for older model 2014 RT rather than new model V6 . I couldnt accept it for some reason
To each their own. Congrats on the RT! Thank you for watching!
Nice review 👍
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the video. Good stuff 👌
So glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
Thank you for ACTUALLY explaining 😊
So glad it helped. Thank you for watching!
I wonder if you could switch the headlights for last years car because these ones are not as good looking
I have a feeling they wouldn’t swap, but can’t say for sure. Thank you for watching!
Every engine can be a thorn if not maintained properly.!
You’re exactly right! Thank you for watching!
doesnt sound that good inside the car when u actually floor it but it sounds good when u press the pedal a lil hard but not floor it but it sounds great outside
I think flooring it sounds good inside and out, but that’s my opinion! Thank you for watching!
Yesterday got a brand new 2023 challenger Gt for a great price. I’m loving the car.
GT is beautiful. Congrats my man! Thank you for watching!
Dope review man! Just got a 2023 SXT, all black in a blackout package for a tremendous deal. Only one day in and I'm so happy. Hope your Challenger's been treating you great as well 👍
Congrats!! That’s an awesome color scheme. Mine’s been fantastic. You’ll love yours. Thank you for watching!
Need a full send flyby with this one!! Can’t decide between this and the borla and you have the only good videos with this 🤣
Check out my other video which is more of a full review! Head to my channel and you’ll find it. This one is better than Borla in my opinion simply because it’s not quite as loud. Thank you for watching!
