I purchased this exact same year and same color Touring in January. It's my first Honda. I love the performance and the features. I'm very pleased with the car.
Great video. I own a 23 touring hatch with 6 speed. It’s a great small car. I’m loving the gas mileage.
Also in the cluster turn can turn off left side display by turning off time and date.
Honda knows what people want in a car. I have the 2023 civic hatchback back🙂 they even plan to put Bose sound speakers to enjoy my ride while driving 🎶
Oh, thats so cool!, Congratulations, Paul!
Thanks Andre! Quite the upgrade from the scooter eh? 😂
good job thank you
Nice review! Love this color 🤩
Thank you 😁
I’m on my 4 th civic totally love it more than Toyota Camry, according and HRV. Zippy, AC, MPG, tight turning radius, reliable.
What I like most about the new civic is the perfect combination of the engine and improved CVT ending up with a very linear acceleration.
Have the same but in pearl white. Great on gas and the Bose sound system is superb.
I have a 2023 EX. I also have a little bit of road noise which doesn’t bother me. I think it’s more engaging. I don’t care for completely quiet cars. Great review and congrats on your purchase.
Thank you!
Super interesting how you went from a 2.0t accord to this, and love it more, wow that is a pretty big advertisement for this civic
It may sound weird, but sometimes power isn’t everything. The overall driving dynamics of the Civic are just much better than the Accord. Thanks for watching!
love my ex-l in black but the rims on these are awesome
A larger wheel with lower profile, wider tire gives the vehicle sharper handling. You can switch to tiny 16" wheels and you'll get a softer ride but you'll also sacrifice handling. I find the ride pretty forgiving and I enjoy the sharp handling. It sounds like the EX, with smaller wheels, would be a better fit for you.
Hi Paul! Great, informative video. I’m actually torn between a new civic touring or used accord sport 2.0T. Your video helped a ton especially since you had the accord previously and I watched that video as well. Not quite sure what direction I’ll go. I like the power of the 2.0T but the compactness of the civic. Any extra input or advice you could give? My mind changes everyday. Thanks!
Thank you! Honestly, test drive them both and see what's going to work better for you. I loved the Accord, but honestly I didn't need that much power or that much space. I prefer the smoothness, compactness, and nimbleness of the Civic.
The 10 speed in the Accords are pretty jerky.
Great review! I hope Honda gives recommendations on CVT maintenance intervals. A lot of manufacturers say CVT fluid is “lifetime” 😂
They do! The “service manual” is actually built into the instrument cluster, so it tells you when to change/service every single thing on the car (transmission fluid, filters, etc). Pretty cool!
Love the review Paul. Glad that Honda decided to continue spare tires lol. What are your thoughts on the suspension on it?
The suspension itself is great! With a smaller wheel, it would be really smooth, but still sporty.
I have a 2017 hatchback and I didn’t know it has a CVT lol and it drives amazing I don’t understand why people get scares so much about it . I have been driving around the country so many times
Just watched your Accord video. Good pick! Do you still have this Civic or you traded in?
I still have the Civic!
Hey! Nice review, I have a 2023 Honda HRV Sport red and I know exactly what you mean by the rattle sound in the center. Does it happen when you are in drive idling at a light? Does it also happen when you put in reversed and go away if you put in park or neutral?
It varies really! It’s the infotainment screen! I’m taking it in soon to get it looked at.
I got my 2024 Passport in sonic gray
It looks like you have a dashcam wired up behind the mirror. How difficult was it to install? It looks like a really clean job!
That’s correct; it’s tucked in the headliner and I ran it down the side into the rear USB port! I’ll make a CZcams short on it. I’ve been asked a lot! Thanks for watching!
@@PaulsPlace Thanks! I took a Civic Touring for a test drive earlier today and was really impressed. Of course, coming from a 2007 Accord with 260k miles, almost anything would be. 😁
I have the same car, and the only thing that slightly worrying me is my mpg seems to be alot lower than what most people are saying they get. Granted i bought mines brand new as the only driver, and i also only have about a 5-15 minute commute to work 5 days a week, so technically would be considered city driving with all the stop and go lights and whatnot.
So far at around 1200 miles, im at 20mpg, which seems abit low, but then again, ive noticed lately the number going up slowly but surely as i continue to drive more and more, so maybe itll top out closer to 25-30, like what ive been seeing most people are getting with this car. I do occasionally drive in sport mode, and have "a little bit of fun", but for the most part im always in normal mode and tend to drive relatively calm, if that makes sense. I always dont ever really use the highway, which im sure also plays a role in this. Maybe within the next 300 miles or so, my mpg will rise up to about 25, which will be suffice for me. Im just curious to know if others with the same car or similar, are experiencing the same thing as me.
Ooof! That does seem a bit low, but if you are strictly city driving that makes sense if you are idling a lot. If it’s only 5-10 minutes, the motor hasn’t got a chance to warm up yet and is probably still running rich. Also, if you are in a winter climate that absolutely kills MPG. So it’ll probably go up more when summer approaches. Thanks for watching!
Hey Paul, don’t spend money for 16” rims and tires. Unfortunately will not help reducing road noice. I have 16” on my 2022 civic. Civic has road noice due to not having any insulations on the body unlike German brands.
Do you ever wonder where that hundred miles came from on your new car?
I had 75 on my new civic.
At first I thought it was people test driving. Turns out more often than not those cars are part of a dealership trade. My car was driven from San Diego California to to Riverside California a trip of about 70 MI
I do know! My car came from a dealer in Plymouth, MI. It was the exact color and trim I wanted, so they just drove it down from there and traded one of their cars for mine. Thanks for watching!
Do you know if the non touring models are significantly louder than the touring? I test drove the touring bc I read it supposedly has more sound insulation. Unfortunately I ran out of time and couldn't drive a lower trim
I do not, let me get back to you on that!
I have a new 24 civic sport and I used to have a 17 civic lx and they sound the same. You’ll hear everything if ur driving on highway or cruising.
Hello, I’m interested in buying 2024 Honda Civic sport. I’ll be going from a 2005 Lexus is300 (215 hp) to Civic (158 hp) that being said, I’m aware of the power difference. The reason I’m going for a civic is for better fuel economy. The thing is, how would I adjust with the civic with cvt?
Do you have any advice on getting used to how the civic runs?
It’s not that much different. Super smooth, you won’t notice any shifting. I’d recommend an EX or Touring if you could swing it. The 1.5T is a lot more fun and you get better features with the higher trims.
@@PaulsPlace I see. I test drove one last week it was really nice but it lacked power or speed compared to my is300 but of course is300 is a v6 so it’s unfair to compare.
I was going to go for the touring trim but I REALLY like the sport interior it’s all black plus the sport would be ideal for my budget.
Also, any tips or opinions on adjusting to a v4 cvt from a v6?
Honestly just enjoy it! They’re fun cars!
It's not so much the wheels for the noise as it's not alot of sound deadening. I also had a 2019 accord 2.0t and I loved it. The 2.0 engine is amazing but it was loud inside. Idk why they can't just put more deadening in it. I also had the 5th gen ram which is silent compared to the accord and civic but sold both and now in the new RDX advance and it's a dream.
The touring actually has quite a bit of sound deadening. It’s definitely the wheels for me haha. The trims below have like none though. Thanks for watching! Seems like we have similar tastes in cars haha
All companies are reducing sound proofing to get the mileage higher. Saving every once.
Better than the mazda 3?
In my opinion, much better. While the Mazda3 turbo could dust this thing, the Civic is much more fun to drive and live with on a daily basis.
Are you going to flush your transmission at Honda?
When the maintenance minder says so, 100%.
@@PaulsPlace Don't they say that the oil is for life? Lol
@@amine_d Not for CVTs! They’re sticklers on when to change it.
Looks much nicer than the base model Civic. The CVT is just fine for putting around town. The Si is there if you want a more sporty driving experience.
It’s a great all around car! Thanks for watching.
They could’ve done better with the wheel design… The “Sport” has a better design…
After the 2025 i think these will need to be dirt cheap to sell. Most ppl will wait for the 2025
No more 1.5T Civic for 2025! Except for the SI.
I seen that! I was sad.
The beige headliner is the worse lol have it my 2018 touring. Shouldve of been black like sport the newer sports black headliner
The beige looks cheap always have
I KNOW RIGHT! That’s my largest annoyance with the overall design of the car
