As a Honda owner there's a reason why me and my father can stick with Hondas forever, it's like the last thing you can ever depend on 😍
civic is.... unique
LMAO! Camry sales just increased after the reveal of this abomination.
Toyota sells more and still more reliable.
* My father and I.
@@righteousone1 Camry LE hybrid, if you can get one without a markup, is the no-brainer choice for a hybrid sedan now. Camry hybrid and Corolla Cross hybrid are the no brainer choices for a relatively cheap, reliable, point A to point B transportation device.
The Civic is one of the Japanese cars that gave American automakers the wakeup call they needed.
They use their horn to wake them up..
And Corolla is the other
Unfortunately it didn't wake them up too much, GM never made a car that could compete with the CIvic overall, the Cavalier was ok but never improved and the Ford did somewhat better with the Escort.
Then buy the accord
@@bryang9290the best small GM cars were the Prism & Vibe (rebadged Corolla&Matrix)😂
Last generation of Honda Civic Hybrid was 2014-2015....I have one 220000 mlies, only changed one Edison bulb.... It's amazing.
Some folks hating on the Civic hybrid as it’s more expensive than Corolla hybrid…of course it is as it’s closer to Prius in engine and build quality and better and more refined than the Corolla hybrid!
Its also apples and oranges in trim too. The Hybrid Sport is 28750. Of course some bait car loss leader no one ever buys (when they upsell the 28.6k SE) is going to be cheaper.
Much bigger in the back seats too. Corolla is way too cramped.
Physical HVAC controls, a shift knob, and fingerprint resistant surfaces? Take my money, Honda! (oh and about that piano black strip, I'll just tell people "wash your damned hands before you get in my car!") Looks like Honda has a winner here. Thanks Joe!
The front grill reminds me of Acura’s currently styling, I’m really like it. I just wanna say Joe that I pulled the trigger on a 24 Civic Si a few weeks ago and watching your videos on it helped me make the decision lol. Thanks Joe
nice choice, civic si is a blast, fun and chuckable car ;)
It reminds me of Genesis and Fords. The color reminds me of Audi. Headlights remind me of 1995 Saturn. Tires remind me of Chevy.
both , corolla or civic , front end like a vacuum cleaner.
Makes sense. Acura is a division of Honda.
Way better than Prius and Corolla. Civic has the everlasting appearances that would still be relevant for more than 15 years to come. The car that your son wouldn't shy to drive to school. All rounder beauty..
Much better than the Corolla Hybrid. It’s not even close!
Oh wow! That is a serious statement
Price is much closer to CAMRY than to Corolla. Civic doesn't stand a chance against Camry.
Muy buen carro,yo quisiera tener uno como este me hace mucha falta y se lo voy agradecer de ❤
Pricing doesn’t compare to a Corolla.
Fully agree!
Man that color is great!
The spokes on the wheels look like little rockets up close 🚀 looks cool 😎👌
Oh man, I never noticed that!
Love your videos man! You always bring a touch of laughter which I appreciate
It's not often that I get to see a prototype, so thanks for this extra special look, Joe.
Your reviews are absolutely fantastic. Don't stop doing them. Cheers!😁
I love you man and love your videos, always very conclusive, and you have all our questions answered! God bless you and Lori!
Joe and Lori Thnxs for the great 🎥 work 👍🏻 and joe for bringing us the great video’s
$31k?? That's so sensible I'm fully expecting car salespeople to keep the prices low 😂
I'd rather get a much better Camry hybrid for 31k.
Very expensive compared to the Corolla of 25k
😂 By the time the dealership finishes with all the mark-ups, this car will hit 36k easily. At 36 grand, you may as well buy the CRV hybrid. It's a much bigger and nicer car, IMO.
And it still gets great MPGs. The days of sub 30k vehicles are gone, unfortunately 🤨
@@ericboamahamoah4074 Yeah, this is nearing Camry money
@@pigg20021 camry LE is at 29k with 50mpg. I think it’s well equipped for 30k.
Raiti, you do 100% better than other car reviewers, you go in depth with every detail of the car!
i came across your channel just recently and idk whats with your humour but it always gets me.
love from the philippines
Yup! I'm definitely getting one of these soon!! Thanks for all the info Joe!! God Bless!
Joe and Lori do such a consistently excellent job with these videos. Informative, detailed, unique and last but not least , the Joe Raiti humor that will make you spit out your Twinkies if you're not careful!
Nice video keep up the good work Joe
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Happy to see you're in my city ! Indeed, our roads are the worst 😭 love the content 💚
Glad you came to Montreal ! Really fun to watch you review that car those area I know so well. Your on throttle 🤣👌
Much better looking than the accord hybrid.
Accord is so fugly!
agreed
I'd argue the 2022 civic sedan looks better than the 2022 accord too tbh
@@jakejohnson9827Umm no it's not, 10th Gen got this beat, especially when it comes to power.
Can you guys let that go already? 🙄
Being a former Honda Accord owner this one is the one I would consider again. I owned two 2003 Honda Accords and only recently sold one last year with 188k miles on it. The new civic seems to be the same size as the 2003 - 2007 model. This one just looks so much better and love the interior/exterior and the mpg.
If you have the money get the Accord. Smoother and more insulated on rough roads and very roomy rear seat space.
I'm absolutely sold on this car-- great blend of fuel efficiency, performance, design, and technology. I love the traditional styling in that it looks like a car and doesn't have spaceship styling nor gigantic screens taking up the whole dashboard. Looks like a 10/10. I only wish they had the Boost Blue Pearl color available as that one is me and my wife's favorite (hopefully you are listening Honda!). But wow--- what a well-balanced package-- looks like the perfect city car as I live in Chicago. I'm happy to see the high horsepower and torque, as that's often needed in city driving to quickly merge when the lane suddenly is ending, or when I need to make a quick left when there's a brief opening in heavy traffic, etc. This will be our next purchase absolutely, well done!
Nice review and good meeting you in Montreal!
Great video! Loved the humor lol. I have a 2022 Honda Civic Sport now and I’m considering the hatchback sport touring hybird. The mpg, more torque, and slightly new looks are very appealing
"To the door panel" with a punch, always; loved your Canadian comments lol :)
Love love love the color and wheels!!!
2007 Honda Civic Hybrid owner that I bought new. It has served me well all these years & was waiting for its return to get another one.
Amazing review Joe.
Great review Joe. Love your videos. I gotta say, that Civic looks sharp. I own a 2020 that has never let me down but maybe I will upgrade to this one. The lack of a spare tire is a MAJOR zonk for me.
If your 2020 is still working, I highly suggest you keep it. The interest rates are not worth it at this point
Good review. Thank you.
You should stop by here in ottawa Canada would be nice to meet you love your car reviews
This is priced more like a Camry than a Corolla.
For around the same pricing, you can get a Camry hybrid with more power, more room, rear HVAC vents, similar or better fuel economy, and a spare tire.
For the reasons you said, I'm strongly learning towards a camy hybrid.
32k Civic doesn't even have a spare tire...wild
and much better exterior looks
The Camry is huge though
This is lighter and more nimble than the Camry. Plus you can get this loaded for around the same price as a base hybrid Camry. So i’d much rather get the Civic for that price.
Love it Joe! If I didn’t have a 2024 EXL I’d be getting one of these. BTW, I achieved an average MPG of 42.2 on a 1300 mile trip. Pretty dang good but falls short of the hybrid.
Yes of course Joe & I will buy this car soon.
It's definitely better than Toyota Corolla hybrid, I have the 2022 Accord 2.0T, all thanks to Mr Jim for letting my dreams comes through.
Hi how do I get in contact with him?? I have lost a lot online to scammers, and I'm a bit skeptical to invest again, but I have been hearing and seeing good reviews and testimonies lately about Jim, please let me know how I can get to know him or get he's contact.
You’re welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 damn I wish I was close by. I wish I was still in Ontario. I would’ve drive over to meet you man, but I’m all the way in BC Vancouver, bro 😎 awesome review that Civic looks damn good 👍🏿
What a huge Improvement! Thanks for the great review Joe! This really comes down to this car or the new Toyota Camry SE for me. Looks to me that this Civic has alot of pep which is very similar to the Camry. I'm glad they got rid of the 1.5 Turbo in the normal Civics. I just wish it had lumbar support. Currently I have it in my 13 Accord Sport manual and I never thought that feature would be so important to me for my long drives. Looking for a replacement soon, got 485,000 km on the Accord with the same clutch. ( a dying breed I know :-(
You are so very welcome! Very good point!
Welcome to civic Nation Joe!..cheers!.. 😊
Thanks Charlie! It was really great!
Holy smoke, how did you get your hands on this, you are so awesome!
I’m early! Loving the Lagoon Blue Pearl color on it!
It works so well in the sun!
I thought he said Blue Magoo initially.
When are going to drive the Hatch? Great review.
I was ready to pull the trigger on the new Prius and then this comes out. I've had six civics in my lifetime, my favorite was my Gen 8 and those are my all-time favorite. My last one was a 2018 SI which I sold after a year due to the Rev Hang. If this really gets 50 mpg it will be my seventh Civic.
Love your car video
very nice Joe, I like it 👍👍 Hi Lori
Love the color…….and the wheels !!! Sometimes wheels make the car 🙂
I’m a firm believer they can always make the car……or break it. 😉
Looks good from every angle. Honda really did an awesome job with the styling. The Sport Touring is the best trim for an every day commute. Super sharp looking little sedan.
The best Easter egg is behind the center console tray❤
I hope you enjoyed the "Orange Cone & Pothole Festival" Montreal puts up every year to welcome tourists.
Welcome in Montreal !
Love this new civic hybrid! In regards to the all wheel drive say for example if you live where it snows just need snow tires
Outstanding Video As Usual. How's The Legroom For Tall Drivers.😊
Welcome to Montreal Canada my city. Enjoy
Earned a sub on this one, thanks for the entertainment and information all in one :)
Edit: currently driving the 2015 Civic LX at 82k miles and it’s running great
Can you have google maps on the gauge cluster like in the accord?
Can't wait for the hatchback!
do you know when Honda Odessey 2025 going to be realised? or any estimated dates? thank you for all content. really like your videos.
"Behind The Wheel of this BLUE LAGOON" 😂😂😂😂 #RAITISRIDES ❤
I think i will buy one, looking very nice and the mpg wow
I wonder if this Lagoon Blue is going to be on the mid-cycle refresh Civic Si.
Nice review Joe. I always like the Civic. Great reliable commuter that fun to drive, easy to park and makes great fuel economy. I like the color and the wheels too. The price is a bit high but what isn't these days. Let's see what the dealers do with it.
Very good comment Robert! The Sport Hybrid has a price of $28,750!
How did you get your hands on 2 sport touring hybrids. The walk around was the blue lagoon with gray insert interior , the drive was a silver with black interior. Beautiful car.
Nice hybrid Civic, love it! ... I love Montreal as well, but the streets are in terrible shape.
Btw, did you go to the F1 race ?
They've gotten much better over time, but about 30 to 40 percent of them are still in various states of disrepair. The bright side is that when you go for a test drive, you can actually see how composed a vehicle is on bad roads.😂
U were in my area. Looks like montreal west is. Lucky the cop wasnt there during full throttle. Very curious about the si, and crv if they will kill the 1.5t there as well
He was on the South Shore.. route 132/Autoroute 20.. would have been interesting video to watch if he got pulled over by some surete de quebec provincial police officer.. 😂
I’m luvin that color
Light grey seats are nice. I see you did not burn your legs. It makes the interior look bigger too.
Looks nice
I have a 8th gen 2011 civic hybrid. Always park inside, only needs the scheduled maintenance. Honda absolutely builds reliable cars.
Welcome to Montreal, paradise of the orange construction cone!
Great package from Honda. Can't wait to see the dealer MARKUPS on this vehicle.
Fingers crossed it isn’t bad!
Then buy the accord
Honda Civic is the car who safe life of humanity 😂😂❤
I'm liking this 25 honda civic sport touring...its a beautiful looking car..❤
I love it. I'll be getting one if the dealers dont mark it up big time.
I went looking to trade in a 2022 sport touring for a Honda hybrid. 5 dealers all added $3,000 minimum. Mostly for junk they stuck on the cars. I went to One Toyota dealer. They sold me a brand new 2025 Camry for almost $2500 off MSRP. I don't get it
This will be over 35k at dealerships. especially for a hatch. Nonsense
No pricing available yet on the hatch
@@RaitisRidesthe civic will definitely cost more than the Corolla, that’s one thing for sure. The 1.5 litre turbo will be discontinued in the Honda lineup
What do you think a fair price would be?
Corolla sales just increased.
@righteousone1dont feel safe while driving a Corolla
I am not 100% sure but I think some countries have e:hev civic and accord for 2024 models or even 2023. But even so, the changes to the 2025 look is very nice. As much as I love my 10th gen civic (which is still at around 50k km), i am very tempted to get either this or the accord (i like the convenience thingie like the memory seat settings, but might be too wide considering that I tend to squeeze on tight spots with my current civic) ;)
Thanks for the review!
Love the tech upgrades for 2025, MPGs, and I don't know, those wheels are really doing it for me, Joe 😊
Maybe when you see them
In person you will like them more????
@RaitisRides No Joe, I was trying to say that I was really digging them sir🫡 I think I wrote it wrong 😅
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425now that makes sense! I guess you will REALLY like them when you see them in person.😂
@@RaitisRides You better bet your bottom dollar 💵 😏
@@DarkJediChrisG-1425heck yeah man!
This thing is a bargain.
I’m considering it on buying one as long as no mark ups are added
Did they add the temp gauge on this new model, as the 2024 crv hybrid does not have it
Love that Blue Lagoon Pearl.
Raiti! do you think this is more gas efficient than a Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid? i'm contemplating between these 2 vehicles!
11th gen Civic Hybrid hatchback has been available for about a year now in Israel, I bought my tenth gen 1.5t hatchback from someone who was getting it. I think it's not quite as good as the 2025 one coming out in North America, which seems fantastic. Hopefully they start selling that version here too, top contender for my next car if so.
I am definitely going with the new Civic Hybrid. I have owned more Civics than any other cars. I simply think this will be the very best, even better than the 2022 and the 2023 I have owned.
My future car
Hey Joe when are u going to do the 2025 HONDA HR-V? Like to hear ur thoughts and see specs on it. Thx Joe
The wheels look like Roman sword blades. I like it.
Such a beauty.
Car sounds like a space ship at 10:07.
❤ Prototype access for VIPs! Thank you Joe and Lori! ❤️
🚀 on the wheels
I have always had Older Blue Hondas with Grey Interiors. I fell that the Grey gives it more clarity vs the all Black Interiors that make the Car look like a Cave.
What is 0-60 time for Corolla? I heard it was very slow??
Up to 2017 Toyota had sold 10,000,000 Hybrid vehicles worldwide. Seems like a solid technology. Good luck Honda, the Civic is a nice looking car.
30% (or 3.6 million vehicles) of Toyota's 11 million global sales in 2023 was hybrids, compared to 20% of Honda global sales in 2023. Honda has a good hybrid system as well.
Good thing you can add rear aftermarket AC Vents with USB outlets. 🙌
I don't need a pocket on the back of the driver's seat for my pancakes because they would be GONE before I got in the car!! A cupholder for my (residual) coffee is all I need.
Honda always impressing with their face-lift models, I was hoping for a 6 speed in this style 😎
Can’t wait to buy it. Sold
When will we see these at dealerships here in the states?
This month.
