“Sampling the Latest Automotive Delicacies!”
I was honestly looking for a review with all the different specs and features each model had to offer and this was the best video I had come across so far. I appreciate you taking time for me to take in the features of the car but most importantly I appreciate you making the comparisons so easy to follow and understand.
Glad you enjoyed the review! Thanks
I bought one 8 months ago. Love this car. It’s a little rocket ship. Quite and smooth. The only thing negative I could mention is that the seats are to hard with not enough cushion. Best car I’ve ever owned. I’m in my mid fifties. And have owned many cars. This thing is just amazing.
Which model did you buy? Was it the touring?
If you want a car with super comfortable seating get a Nissan Altima sl or a maxima sl..they have zero gravity seats with are the most comfortable seat there is out there.
I completely agree with you. You cant find a better car for the price point, MPG, fun drive, great take off. I have a 2018 EX-T. Mine was involved in an accident and luckily it was able to be fixed I was driving a rental, 2021 GMC Terrrian, super nice vehicle and hands down would rather have muly Civic. The thing is pretty fast for what it is. I just got mine back today from the body shop and I swear i like it even more.
Yes I agree about the seats. I've put a foam pad on to make a bit more comfortable
@@kylepraseutsack6422problem with Nissan is that they are not as reliable as any Honda
One of the most comprehensive and well transitioned walk around reviews I've seen. Well done.
Thank you, David! We appreciate that
I’m a college student and this yr I’ll graduate! Decided to get a 2018 hc hatchback touring as my grad present to myself! I get it this Friday, so excited!
Congrats
@@Basic-Grunge thank you! Stay safe during these times:)
Congratulations! Im hopefully getting mine this week! Fingers crossed
I recently bought a used 2016 Civic Touring sedan in this same exterior and interior colors. I absolutely love this car as my daily driver for work and running around town.
Congrats! We both really like the Civic!
I just got one for my daughter today 5/8/23 2018 Ex-L with only 40k, she loves it already
My wife and I just bought a 2018 Civic ESL With 10,000 miles on it to replace her 2009 Civic Hybrid, she loved that car.BTW. Anyway , probably paid a little more than we should have but's like new.Very happy with the car, great performance and comfort. On the down side, like the video said, the audio and comfort controls being on the display kinda suck.Other than that I recommend anyone looking for a reasonably priced 'sports' sedan, buy this.
You didn’t mention my favorite feature: keyless entry by just putting your hand into the door handle and it unlocking. Then when you walk away from it it automatically locks!
I recently bought this exact car 2018 Civic Touring Sedan White with 70k miles. I absolutely love this car.
How much did you buy it for if you don’t mind me asking?
You have the best reviews - so thank you! I love that you mention all trims. I can't decide between the 2018 Honda Civic Touring and 2018 Mazda Touring. Your videos have been the most helpful (:
Glad to hear that! Good luck picking -- you really can't go wrong between the two!!
this car everytime i go on a weekend trip with my sister we love it and it saves so much gasoline on the eco mode i have.🥰🥰
These guys run the car review game
Thanks, George!
Here in 2020, trying to plan how I'll buy the 2017 or 2018 honda civc in 2021, #UsedCarFam!!
btw, I love your comparison of the 2019 Honda Civic vs. 2019 Honda Accord, I subscribed because of that video!
Same except I hope to get it in 2022 cuz I have to get a job next year and make some major savings
@@ribbonexylophone835 yeah I may wait until 2022 too actually :)
I’m trying to buy a 2017-2018 civic at the moment
Just got mine and it’s worth it
Excellent reviews video, clear explanation
I think this will be my first car for real though
have you gotten it yet?
@@maybehere_ i just got it as my first car today!!
@@hibakhan.3519 awesome! I'm thinking I'm getting this for my first car too
Helped me a lot to understand what the heck have I just bought
Honda Civic has a very comfortable and roomy backseats,it’s handling and ride quality is much better than Corolla because it is low and has a grippy smooth ride but Honda should improve the interior quality a bit more,and in coming years should add a Panaromic sunroof
I had the 2020 corolla se nightshade & i didn't like the way it sounded over a certain speed. I didn't care for it.... fast forward to now, I have a civic ex hatchback
one thing that doesn't make any sense at all .. why having dual exhaust that is hiding behind the bumper ??!! i can't believe Honda got it all perfect and the muffler looks like that !!
I wish they put a 12 volt for the rear passenger in the door or center console rear section
Looks like I’m buying this in 2024
Nice review, could easily be edited to about 8 minute video, but thanks for the information 👍
Which one is better in your opinion..EX or EX-T? And is there a difference between 2016 and 2018. If so what is it??
I would stay away from the 1.5.
I love the Civic, too bad the seats hurt my back. I looked it up and apparently it's a big problem. I'm loving my Mazda 3 though!
This car is so beautiful
i love my car the only thing that annoys me is the stupid message that shows up when the honda link first starts
Gonna work hard to get one of these. Support from Philippines!
Flavors, what does it taste like? I assume quite oily.
😂😂😂
Are there any differences between 2016, 2017 & 2018 models interior and exterior?
There are not any substantial differences from 2016-2018. Last year they changed up a couple pieces of equipment, but for 2018 there are no changes. Thanks for tuning in!
Pj Pancake no
I would buy this car in a heartbeat!
I got the lx I should of just spent the extra money for the touring 😭🙄
Since it comes in many flavors does it come in bacon?
Lol
I don’t why, or which model I have? It’s called EX-CVT 2.0 no turbo when I got it used. There’s no fog light, there’s an empty hole there but no lights, and the front corner fender is different, one side is with fake vent holes, but one side (drivers side) is with a blank shield of plastic🤔😥
Be thankful you dodged the peace of shit 1.5 turbocharged motor. It’s sad what’s happening to cars.
I love my 2020 Honda Civic ex I just wish the armrest and middle console were leather I don’t like the residue it gets on it after a few days of cleaning but don’t mind the cloth seats I notice that everything is always or seems like it leaks black interior there used to be more beige interior wonder what happened to it being available more?.
This is my car!!!
Lucky. Do you like it?
Does it still hAve the annoying seatbelt chime like the old civics?
Getting one this Summer 2018. 😎
How do you like it so far? Any cons?
Did u get it
what if sites don't have touring as a model? trying to buy some parts but touring is not listed. are we considered EX L?
They should make a Civic hatchback with the same 2.0T + 10-speed automatic found in the new Accord. That would be interesting.
ArcadianGenesis isn't that just the Type-R
Cel Garcia The Type-R only comes with a manual transmission. This new 10-speed automatic is awesome.
ArcadianGenesis oh that's right! I forgot
@@garciacelso12 At the Honda dealer when we bought our 2018 Civic EXL they just rolled in a new 2020 Civic Type R.
It was like a ready for road race car.
It had a Kevlar areo kit, IE: rear bumper skirts, side skirts, front splitter and a big rear wing. Recaro racing front bucket seats with 5 point seat belts.
304 HP with a 6 speed manual transmission.
Our 2018 Civic has 184 HP and it gets 0- to 60 in a flash.
I cant imagine what that 304 HP would do. ha
But at $37, 550 or so sticker price, I'll have to put that on my wish list.
But agree that the auto trans with a sport mode would be awesome.
Between minutes 4 and five you’re showing the headlights (I assume in the emergency flasher mode). Are those “sequential”-style flowing lights along the bottom of the headlight only on the touring?
No they appear like strobe on video due to Frame rate
Best car for short people
John Schroy lol, im 5'11 so should i get it?
I mean I’m 6’3 and I’m fine with this vehicle
I am getting this car soon
Nice car, new friend here I saw your channel from @Confidence live stream.
Great review!! 👍
Thanks!
Nice review of features etc., but zero about driving, which is sorta why we buy cars!
We are planning on adding this as soon as we acquire the appropriate equipment. Thanks for the feedback!
Your voice is soothing
Honda made some much-needed improvements to the Civic, but I don't care for the black matte plastic on the front grille; it makes the car look cheap, also that plastic will discolor over time, and that will not look good. Overall, it think it's a lot of car for the money, and after looking at the entry-level Acura ILX; the Honda Civic seems like the better choice.
I too was considering an ILX. They had a decent lease special (~2500 down, 199/month on a 36-month, 30k mile lease). The dealbreaker for me was the ILX required premium fuel. The Civic Sport hatchback only "recommends" premium.
THANKS FOR SHOWING YOU ARE AWESOME.
Great video!👍👍
Thanks!
wow what a professional video
Thank you!
Car Confections you're welcome
i dont know where else to put this comment so i figured i would leave it here. do you guys do videos over Chryslers because i would enjoy seeing a few of those because you done have any out. any specific reason as to why you dont?
Hi! We have filmed some Chrysler products (Ram 1500, Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee) but we haven't done one in while since are waiting for the all new Ram, Cherokee and Wrangler's to come in. Hopefully we will have them soon!
great video
EDIT: Steering wheel is also leather-wrapped on the EX-T trim.
YES
Great review. Exactly what I was looking for. Any chance you have a 2018 vw Jetta review?
Thanks! We don't work with a Volkswagen dealership right now but hopefully we will in the (semi) near future!
15:54 What is that vent looking thing?
Im 5’11 is the leg room gona be too small for me? And for my occupant leg room too?
I'm 5'11 too the back seat sucks in this car the driver's seat I recline it a bit and it's as far back as it can go....my smart car before this civic had a better driver's seat for me...I door dash in this car and take some pretty long trips too(longest so far is 900 miles to Ohio around Thanksgiving and a few 600 mile trips my gf door dashes in the car too we put about 22k miles on it in 5 months) most of my cars I put 200k on in 5 years
does anyone know why the lane watch camera is only on the right side mirror
bc that's where your blind spot is the largest when looking at the sides
Lower trims have the better engines 😊
Dat lexus bag though 😂
Nice car
is there a spare tire or are they the run flat tires?
They come will spare tire! I just got this car yesterday!
Nice review dear car confections
I will hold from buying the Honda civic until they fix the infotainment and place them at a higher elevation like the Honda accord.
Roberto Dela Cruz Just get the new Honda Insight, it's basically a Civic Hybrid and fixes a lot of those problems. It uses the same steering wheel and infotainment of the Accord.
03chrisv i'm in a country that floods a lot I don't want to electricute myself besides I have a budget.
What is the song playing in the beginning?
It's known as 'Hey Now' by MK2 (available for free in the CZcams audio library). Thanks for watching!
Buetiful car
What about the SE?
V Lounge I don't believe that there is a SE trim for this generation quite yet. Honda tends to offer the SE (Special Edition) trim on the last or later years of the generation. So when we do see a SE trim, we can expect that a redesign is soon to come. Hope that helps!
You're wrong. It does come in SE trim. Just look it up on Honda's website
@@simJ94 Well, I think we may both be correct! :) I guess I'm just speaking for U.S.A. but it is likely different in other countries. Doesn't look like SE is an option for The U.S. quite yet.
Yeah, you're right. It's available in Canada, not in the US
Sorry to bother you but is honda or Toyota more reliable? Thank You!
There's really no easy answer since it depends on the model. But both brands are known for their reliability, so you probably have great experiences with both!
Does the 2018 Honda civic LX have CVT transmission? if so, is there an option to have regular automatic transmission instead? Lots of negative feedback on CVT so i'd rather not go with that.
Yes it does have a CVT. There is no traditional automatic option, but you can choice a 6-speed manual if you prefer.
wow, fast response. Ive heard lots of negativity when it comes to CVT. Things like transmission having to be replaced near 60k-100k miles. Also loud sound when going higher speeds like being on the highway, so loud it can get quite annoying, louder than the engine or even radio itself. Are these false?
It is true that some manufactures have had trouble with CVT's in the past but nowadays there are millions of new vehicles from nearly ever brand with CVT's. I'm not saying it won't have problems but CVT's generally don't have serious issues like they used to. As far as noise, a CVT does cause the engine to drone when you accelerate hard, but under low strain (like on the highway) its not going to make anymore noise than a regular automatic. Hope this helps!

cj p the LX does have a CVT. There is no option for a traditional automatic, but I believe there may be an option for manual on the LX trim. Hope that helps!
Dream😑
Why does the touring trim have less space in the trunk than all the others? Is there something obvious I’m missing or is it just like that?
Think it's a sub woofer/bass thing
The upgraded sound system. It's totally worth it though.
How about sedan civic SE????
You have a great review....
Thanks! They don't make an SE in the United States any more.
ok thankyou.
Nice review first comment
Ayyyy OnePlus 5t
Is this will really last 700 km on single full tank ?
My gauge reads 435 Km after filled it full!
Mazda 3 is way nicer
True but not as reliable.
They need to get rid of lane watch, it was a silly thing in the first place.
I can’t stand the back 😭
what's wrong wth it
That trunk door just hovered over the part where it can be red. It literally just slaps you in the face with that
Same here ... it's a matter of taste obviously but the back just doesn't do it for me either ... too bad because the rest of the car is gorgeous.
Its hideous
I love the whole car, including the back
When does the 2019 EX come out?
We don't know specifics, but the Odyssey and Ridgeline are coming to dealers now. I doubt it would be any later than this fall.
Does of have push start?
Yes, EX trims and above will have push button start.
that fuel range is bs
The Lag Janitor It depends if you do mostly city or highway driving. I get over 430 miles in range but 70% of my driving is on the interstate.
Its beyond slow tho
Damn that car needs oil
It’s actually a hatchback
Car back is the ugliest thing I have ever seen holy cow honda should be ashamed
The touring has all LED on the front, but mostly incandescent at the back?! Smh Honda.
Chris Online
The Touring trim has full LED taillights, headlights, and even LED turn signals in the door mirrors. Only the foglights are halogen. I'm now SMH at you, Chris Online.......
Looks ugly 11th gen should redeem itself
Excellent review. Thanks for uploading.
We appreciate it, Guillermo!
