- A quick walk around of our new 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring. Allegedly this is the first one in the southeast. I placed a deposit on the Touring Sedan and switched quickly for this Hatchback. The dealership called me and said they had a Hatchback Sport Touring in the White on Black just like the Sedan we wanted. I was there within 15 minutes, sat in the back seat. I saw there was plenty of room for me. I am 6ft 205lbs. I was comfy and bought the car on site with it being only 15 minutes on the ground. There is a few things that came defective from the manufacturer. Soon i will make a video with the good and bad. I hope you enjoy this video.
The white with blacked out wheels and tinted windows looks clean 🔥
Don't know why the sport touring hatch don't have the same rims
I love the way the lights glow flashing looks nice af
Congratulations on the Honda 2022!!!
Thank you so much!
Thanks bro for the review. This will be my next car within a year.
Your welcome. Due to Covid, I would place a deposit and order it. I’m hearing mostly all new cars are pre order. Fyi
Mine will arrive in about a month, same trim and color, I can't wait to have it!
Awesome! I’m dropping a new video of the car soon you may want to see. Thanks for watching bud.
Great review, actually, a cool one compared to others. You pretty much made me want to buy the Civic Sport Touring from 99% to 200%. I wasn't sure that I can buy a car without test driving it, since all dealerships have their civics reserved and bought before even coming to the showroom unfortunately. But you pretty much covered it all and made me feel I drove your car lol!
Thank you, and I also live in GA as well, hope you have a great one!
Thanks. Your feedback means a lot. So far it’s been an amazing car.
I loved the video man. I love the car too, I am purchasing one myself right after the holidays. I am going with the touring trim as well in red. I just subscribed, you got a cool personality.
Great news. It’s a really nice car. Thanks for subscribing…
Great review!
Thank you.
I agree with you on the misline and molding
Drives me nuts. Lol
Cant wait to see how this looks when your ideas become reality🔥🔥🔥
Beautiful car, and wonderful video
Thank you.
Beautiful car!
We love it so far.
Mr. Rene, I couldn’t sleep because I actually pulled the trigger on a trade in and chose an upgrade to the touring. I haven’t seen my car yet but I believe it’s the same as yours (white touring). However, because of this video I now know what to look for and listen to as far as defects. I don’t believe the car industry is what it used to be. Dealerships make excuses for imperfections and quality control issues. Thank you for your review because it’s honest and complete. Please keep it going. Also, what type of gas do you use? Looking forward to more content.
Thanks Mr. John.
We bought this car sight unseen. The touring interior is really nice.
There are some differences on the looks between a Touring and this Sport Touring. Mostly outside. Rims and front grill.
Interior wise the cockpit looks identical inside as a Touring. The rear roof line and hatch may be the only difference.
Thank you for watching and Congrats on your upgrade.
Picking up that exact one this Saturday. 👌 my wife's second Honda Civic. I picked this hatchback so we can load our pets also into it. I love the rear sporty looks also. 🐕
It looks great and the hatchback area is the best part.

How does your rear tint work with the rear view mirror?? I’m just afraid the rear view mirror will be too dark since it autotints
Amazing
I like those tinted windows!
Thanks. 20% ceramic
Thanks for the review, nice one!
Can you tell, did the wind noise go away once you replaced the windshield?
Drivers window still making noise.
What tint % did you get on each window? Can you share price details for tint?
i got mine 3 weeks ago a rallye red sport touring hatch, last week washed her personally and got a small paint peeled off in the back right beside the car plate area so bought some touch-up paint from my dealer, secondly some issue with the wireless apple carplay/andriod auto it wouldn't connect my phone but works fine with wired connection. Still i love her its my first car after all. Driven her about 600 miles now. i hope you able to fix that misaligned door its really annoying to look at.
Good news. Dealership fixed the door for me and everything I mentioned in last video. New video with update coming soon. That’s a bummer with the paint chip. The wireless apple play has been working fine on my end. Congrats on that Red mean machine!! Super nice car for a first car!!! You did good!
Congrats on your purchased! I got the hatchback sport touring one on sonic gray. If you don't mind asking about your tint. What is the % for left and right and the back? TY!
Congrats! The tints are 20% all the way around.
Great review! Can’t wait for mine to arrive in May. Do you have any follow-up video after the issues?
I’ll be making a follow up video and mileage update.
Good job! Is your driver’s front door misaligned too, maybe has something to do with the wind noise? Was interested in the Si until I found out it’s sedan only. Odd choice as the original Si’s were hatches. Would look more toward this sport touring with the 6MT. Looks good in white. Enjoy the car and subscribed.
Thank you. The drivers side looks fine. It’s the passenger side that is if off. It’s mostly noticeable when inside and you look towards rear view mirror on passenger. Drives me nuts every time I see it.
To my surprise this Hatchback Sport Touring is very close to an SI. They resemble each other a lot. The Hatchback looks so sporty. We have the CVT but the 6MT is the way to go.
I love this car so much. I want one so bad😩😂
Wondering what octane you fill up your gas tank with, Honda says 87 or higher for the CVT transmission. If you ever fill the tank with different octane, do you notice any difference on mpg or performance? Thanks
This model is only supposed to take 87!!!! So why not!
Hey man I just picked up this same exact car same color and trim and I'm really enjoying it! I just got my windows tinted except the front windshield. What percent did you use in your front? Thanks.
So I have yet to tint the front. Had the dealership replace windshield.
Beautiful car! You said going down the highway it sounded like the driver window wasn't shut all the way causing excessive road noise. Were you able to get that fixed?
Was the trim blacked out with the sport touring? I think I want sport touring instead of just the sport but I don’t want any chrome
All of them Civic emblems were chrome.
So I ordered the black emblems…and just left the black H’s…
Now everyone thinks I have an si… no one can figure out what car I’m driving. Lol 😂
Great looking car. Congrats. I got the EX-L in white. Getting windows tinted on Tuesday. Trying to decide between 35 and 20 percent tint. Sorry if I missed it in your video but did you mention the tint shade you got? Happy and safe driving!
Excellent choice! I got 20% tint Nano Ceramic
Looks great. I'm leaning towards the panaflex ceramic 20
35 two front sides, 20 on the rest..
Are the brake lights LED as well? or just standard bulb like the signal lights?
Everything LED except rear turn signals. They are amber bulbs..
I was thinking to get exactly same car and color like this one, but my biggest concern about the road noise, just wondering how that sound level, and your passenger door look like a little higher than the back door by looking at the door seam?
It was definitely higher. The dealership made that adjustment for me so it’s all good now.
Great video, love the white and blacked out windows. Did the dealer ever fix your door? If so what did they do? Just got my civic hatch too and noticed my drivers door is slightly lower than the rear drivers side, it’s not as noticeable but it still kinda bugs me since taking it home.
Yes, the dealer adjusted the alignment for me of the door.
@@mr.rene2u nice! Mine is going back to the dealer tomorrow!
Getting my Sonic Gray Sport Touring in a month, did you ever get the door alignment fixed and the noise you mentioned? I know it’s not the quietest out there anyway hoping they got the panel alignment better after many months though
Yes. Alignment of door was very easy and a minor adjustment according to my service writer.
Still have wind noise.. but I’ll be covering that soon…. Could be a minor adjustment.
Did you order your car online or at the dealership?
I just got mine! Sonic gray pearl.
I like that color… tinted!
@@mr.rene2u yes and I just had it tinted. Looks amazing!
@Mr.Rene2u do you know how to make the front lights flicker? It looks awesome but I don’t know how to do it
I ordered this exact car a month ago. I am told today that it is arriving soon. Since this video are you still happy with this vehicle? I bought my daughter a 2021 Civic and my other daughter a civic new in 2017. Both love theirs. I’m a Chevy guy so I own a 2019 Corvette Stingray and a 2019 Trail Boss. This will be my first Honda which will replace my daily driver Chevy Cruze. Love the looks of this car. What upgrades have you done since purchase?
Very happy with the car. I think you’ll be surprised when your pop that baby into sport mode. It’s not a Vette by any means.. But I am blown away of the amount of pep this lil thing has.
Every time I fill it up… I laugh at the price. Great MPG and not a lot of money to fill it up.
Even with todays prices.
Thanks man! That is good to hear. I am still waiting for it. I have plans for window tint and ceramic coating. Great looking car. Looking forward to getting it hopefully soon.
Finally got mine 3 weeks ago. Can’t believe how long it took to get this car. The dealership in Columbia SC tinted the windows and ceramic coated it. I brought it home and did the Adams advanced graphene coating on top the ceramic coat. Then topped it off with the Adams graphene boost. The car is absolutely beautiful. I am really happy with it. You don’t see many of these hatchback Civics on the road.
What level of tinting did you get? I'm getting my 2022 Civic Hatch any day now, just waiting on it to arrive to the dealer
I got 20% Tints. For the windshield I’m getting 45% . Congrats on the Hatchback man. Which one did you get?
@@mr.rene2u 2022 Honda Civic hatchback meteorite grey sport touring
The road noise, do you think having the door visors will help reduce it enough? We need more driving videos!!
The window noise is still there. Annoying
Yo what’s good dawg! Quick question for you. How’s the acceleration with the 1.5t/cvt combo?
Great question. I am very impressed with it. There are times you hear the Turbo whistle while your just driving. Once you get past the CVT and feel the speed acceleration…. It’s hard to believe this is a 4 cylinder. It’s Fffast.
Now… when your on the highway rolling around 70/80 mph… the acceleration and power is all there. I’m impressed. Got about 1700 miles so far.
@@mr.rene2u you are making me wanna get this car bro! My ONLY concerns are the CVT, and the long term reliability of the 1.5 turbo engine. I’m sure Honda ironed out the whole oil dilution dilemma with the 1.5 turbo engines, but I still wonder about the long term reliability. I mean, if I knew it’d be possible to get 150k to 200k without any major problems, than I’d pull the trigger on buying this car.
@@lennygarrison6836 look at the sport 2L naturally aspirated with manual tranny. Turbos do shorten the life of engines and CVT's are not reliable
Great review. What is the lowest grade of gas you can use for this car?
The dealership told me this car is designed to run on 87 Octane (regular).
@@mr.rene2u I believe the Si models comes with a turbo engine where it can only use premium gas, correct?
@@237311 Si has the same engine just tuned differently. This is also a 1.5 Turbo if it’s the touring model. The LX and sport come with a 2.0 4 cylinder.
What wheels do you have on your civic. Those look like the sport trim rims. They said it would be almost 2k to get the blacked out rims that are four large spokes at my dealer. I’m thinking of blacking out the rest of my rim on my sport touring.
dud this car is amazing!!. I’m thinking to sell my Camry 2016 and get this. I was looking for white interior but unfortunately there is no dear offer this option. Btw, What is the tint percentage?
I’m rocking 20% tints..
Great review n that door area not being leveled would annoy the fk outta me. What % did you tint the windshield
20 % because the interior is all black.
What about the road noise? Is it still there, or was that a one-off occurrence?
The dealer fixed the noise issue. It was not properly sealed by rear view mirror.
Is it fast?
Can you show what the glass imperfections looked like
Windshield was replaced so I can no longer show it.
Damn, i only ask because I try cleaning my windshield but i notice these specks no matter how good I clean it
@mr.Rene2u i was thinking maybe I had a defective windshield also
What's the difference between the touring and the sport touring?
The Sport Touring has the Premium interior. Leather, Sunroof, larger infotainment screen.
Got the same car, what percentage tint did you get?
I got 20% ceramic tint. The sun is brutal. Any issues with your car?
@@mr.rene2u I haven't noticed any issues yet but I've only put on less than 500 miles. I guess I got lucky with the alignment issue you are having. Years ago I had a truck with the same problem. It was a easy fix, the driver door just needed adjusting which the dealer easily fixed. I have a appointment to get my windows tinted, going with what you have.
if given the choice would you chose a Camry or the Civic Hatchback Touring?
No question, Civic Hatchback Sport Touring.
@@mr.rene2u ty
great begginners car
My first Honda ..
Where was the car assembled?
This was assembled here in the states. I totally forgot but I do cover the assembly location on my previous videos.
I'm the Number 9 Subscriber lol
Number nine is fine with me! Lol Top 10 in my eyes. Gracias papo!!
My only 2 dislike is wish the hatchback was as long as the sedan believe 5 inch shorter and think better with out back wiper (what's your thoughts?)
It’s 5 inches shorter than the sedan as well.
The wiper isn’t an eye sore but I would agree… clean always looks better
What mods are you planning to do?
Small suttle lip on rear as a wing. Lowering. Tune. Carbon fiber. Black out all chrome. Just to get started.
Are your legs tight when you’re driving or is it comfortable?
I’m 6 foot.. and this thing has as much legroom as my Cadillac.
Put some aftermarket 17’s your road noise will go down substantially 18 are for looks. As for misalign panels and gaps all Hondas and acuras have that issue.
The dealership fixed the road noise. Drivers door had an issue with a seal. Im keeping the stock wheels for now. The dealership also fixed the alignment issue I had. Glad I bought from a solid place.
@@mr.rene2u good to hear I agree the stock wheels are nice.
I'm having some issues too but the dealer us telling me it's because it's a new car. Gotta drive it around so the computer can start processing a little better
What are your issues?
@@mr.rene2u it's a combination between the android auto and other computer related issues. I think its cause the car sitting in the show room
Is it quiet on the highway ?
It is.. surprisingly smooth with really good response. That’s where the suspension shows off. Feels very stable and handles pretty well.
For a civic… I’m blown away.
Are those the stock rims for this model or did you get an upgrade at purchase.. They look like the ones that come with the sport touring model but they don't seem to have that metallic silver that I've seen on everyone else's. Your rims appear to be blacked out. I'm wondering if its worth paying he extra 1500 for the black rim upgrade.
Based on my research the rims on our car only come in the Hatchback Sport Touring & si. The silverish wheels come on the Sedan Touring.
The sport touring hatchback and si share a lot of the same things such as chassis and suspension. The si gets the 5 speed manual… which is an option for the hatchback… but we have the CVT transmission for maximum fuel efficiency. This is our grocery getter .. we’re just putting around town. Lol
I have the same car, same trim but in silver.
This car was delivered along with a Silver one. I purchased this one within 15 minutes of it being on the ground at the dealer. The silver one sold before I finished my transaction. All new vehicles are mostly pre orders. Covid has ruined a lot of things.
@@mr.rene2u that's a fact
I would be concerned about that door being out of allignment. Could have been from factory or could have been in an accident before delivery.
Totally a factory issue.. I think they need better QC at the factory.
Yeah I think it’s a factory issue. I have this exact car, same color everything. And I just noticed it too on mine after watching this video
What percentage Tints do you have
I believe they are 25…
25 all around ?
What was your car before this?
Escalade..
Just a thought. How about a update video now you that have had the Civic for several months.
New content on the way..
I have a 2018 Civic Si and it has a lot of misalignment problems in the chassis. The quality control on these cars is not great. Same issue with the wind noise on the drivers side, mine makes a crackling sound too, interior rattles.... I might just trade it in for a SUV
Wow. Goof to know. Mine was built here in Indiana. One would think Made in USA would ensure quality. My Escalade was built in Texas. Perfect! Our Civic, not so much.
Too bad dealers are price gouging. Here in Massachusetts my local dealer wants $3K over MSRP for a Civic Hatch with manual transmission. What thieves.
Same here
I agree. Every dealership in Georgia is as well. I had to pay $1800 over sticker. They added things like nitrogen air, rubber floor matts, mud guards and a trunk tray. Totally taking advantage of the situation.
Love the car, the misaligned door on the passenger side still bugs me though.
It bugs me too. Monday I’m dropping the car off at the dealership and hopefully they address that.
Thanks bud!
I'm pretty sure you can adjust the door alignment.
I'm so dissapointed that this hatchback won't be available in Philippines
Based on what I’m hearing… Europe, Canada & USA.
Bummer.
really? nooo :(
Looks good man, not many of us have the white sport tourings yet. We got the first in Arizona no idea of other States. Check out our page for all our installs on the 11th gen hatch
Will do. A hatchback is rare with Covid messing up everything. Very limited. I believe mine was 1st one in southeast according to my dealership. The sales manager had some visibility on inventory. I’ll definitely check out your installs. I have some stuff arriving Friday & can’t wait to install it. I’ll be doing a How To Video… coming soon. Thanks for watching bro. I’ll definitely sub your channel.
@@mr.rene2u Any questions on anything just ask us
@@mr.rene2u how do you get the front headlights to flicker like that?
It's like a honda tesla nice 😆
Haha!! Dude, I thought the same thing. 😂
Is this an automatic can anyone tell me please
Yes. It’s an automatic.
There is a sport touring? I thought ''touring'' stand by itself, Honda knows how to trick people with all these options. Nice car and thank for sharing.
The Sport Touring is only available in the Hatchback. The sedan has the Touring Option. However different front end and grill. The Hatchback in this video looks like the Sedan Si. Which looks sportier.
Thanks for commenting.
No, the sport just stands for hatchback. All regular civic models get the word sport added to them if you get the hatch
@@shivamarya5225 only the sport and sport touring models are labeled “sport” for hatchbacks in the US. The LX and EX-L are not “sport” editions.
The Gen X was sharp and hot. Now the Civic just looks like any other bottom feeder. This is boring and uninspiring. AND it is slower and more $$$. When we saw this design, we rushed over and got two new Gen X's. Waiting for a less sedated looking Civic in 4 years, or it's back to Mazda, or Toyota.
you drive an escalade everyday lol and you bought a civic...
I did.
Wow, such horrible quality control. First year or not, it's not as if Honda jut started building cars.
The dealership definitely stood by their product. Might be a QC issue out of the Indiana plant perhaps.
Once again another video where someone got the Sport Touring and skimped on the HPD package
Your profile picture is really going to get you a wife! I know it!
