- This is a quick review over the features and functions and the 2018 Honda Civic hatchback ex. If you are considering purchasing one, or have already purchased one this is a nice refresh over what the car has to offer for features.
One of the best and straight to the point car reviews I’ve ever seen. Great job man!
I just bought the EX model and really love it. The horn is WIMPY as can be. I wish I could hear the horn honk when I lock the car walking away from it. If I entered my house and then clicked the lock button, you cannot hear the beep. I didn't realize until after I bought it that the fuel capacity is 10 gallons. It was 15 gallons in my previous car, a Honda Accord. I DID NOT know about how the blind spot camera worked. I thought it only activated when I used my turn signal. Now I know I can activate it by pushing that button. Thanks for that. I had an Accord previous to this and it had knobs for volume control. I keep reaching for that knob in the Civic and find myself adjusting the temperature instead. Frustrating. But I am getting used to hitting the pause button when I need to kill the music for some reason.
One surprising thing....I am 6'6" tall. I look for cars with good leg room. This Civic is ROOMY AS HELL !!!! Roomier than the Accord (any trim level). That's why I bought it, initially. Happy about everything else.
Most relatable part of this is reaching for the volume knob and screwing with the ac instead 😹
I know I can adjust it on the steering wheel, but I’ve never had a car this advanced before that I don’t think to use it.
As for fuel capacity, I think the mpg makes up for it, though.
For the beep, it’s also because you don’t have an alarm (unless you do then I dunno what to tell you).
I bought one a few weeks ago the same exact model as this car and I absolutely love it! I learned a few little things watching this video thanks!
How’s your car now? I’m thinking on getting one
@@jaerg91did you end up getting one?? I’m getting my 2017 ex hatch tomorrow!
@@jacobcappuccilli5720 I actually did but I warn you, it may have an issue with the AC and with the fuel pump. Both issues have a recall and extended warranty so make sure to let them know about the warranty because sometimes they don’t say anything so you can pay the full price. Also, if you’re getting it from a Honda dealership, remember that the car has warranty, if another issue appears, make sure to ask if the warranty covers it; you may have to pay something but it’s nothing compared paying the full price. Hope for the best! I like my car, but I had to change the AC twice already and both fuel pump (mine has two fuel pumps).
Thanks for sharing. I’m in San Antonio and debating on which hatch to get. Video was very useful without having to go to a dealership.
Is it good getting the 2018 Honda civic hatchback ex with 25,000 miles for 19,450?
Yes it’s better then what I’m getting it for.
Nice review. I’m really surprised at the lack of a volume knob after all the complaints voiced thus far. Steering wheel controls save the day, but still... At least you get Satellite radio.
ronnie greher the slide controls on the stereo bad at all.
Everyone seems to think you have to tap up or down but I can turn it way up with just two swipes.
The little tiny knob they brought back feels like you can break it off if you're not careful
My guess would be a volume knob will probably appear on a 2019 model. It has landed on all my others... DJ is right though, you can touch on almost one third of the screen to lower the volume. So you do not have to be right on the buttons to lower or raise the volume. Not sure too many people know that...
justin fuller thanks. I’ll give that a try on my 2015 Fit EXL
I didn't even know that last part!
But yeah if the early promo vid for the 2019 is anything to go by, then expect a Kenwood stereo.
That's a big grain of salt though, I think they'll just use the units that are in the 18/19 fits
Great video! I learned some things I didn't know!
I recently just bought this car, I love it! one quesstion though. on the shifter. D is for drive. Under that is the S shift, Does that stand for second gear? Or sport?
Sport: It will rev at a higher RPM giving you more get-up-and-go...
@@JustinFullerReviews thank you!
I have the ex hatch and I love it! Came from a 2013 crosstour which I really didn't want to trade in but it made more sense since I'm in the city to get something similar but faster and smaller. I have question about the opening the hatch. How do you do it fro. Inside the car? Or even from the key fob when outside? It has the button but I've never been able to open it from the key fob.
The button on the fob will unlock the hatch. It's not a powered hatch that will open when the button is pressed.
@@JustinFullerReviews well, that's unfortunate
Does this have a moon roof? If not which other modle would?
A question I have, when driving does the screen show what gear you're on ?
I have a a question:
I just bought a 2018 Honda Civic hatchback EX, which is my first Civic car. The CVT takes longer to switch from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Is that normal? I had a Camry it switched the gears smoothly and I could feel it...
great info! thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
If you hold the trunk button on the key fob does it suppose to open up with manually moving it?
It just unlocks it.
a lot of help thank you. what's a good price for this car new
Every region will be different. But you should be able to see what the dealer invoice is on the car on KBB or Truecar is. If you are about $500 over that you are doing good.
2018 ex hatchback - 86,000 miles. 23k… is this a good deal?
no thats about 2k-2.5k above what it should be
I’m gonna buy this exact model today in blue with 53k miles for $24,775 total with taxes and everything today, I love it lol. Hopefully they didn’t eff me too bad on the price 😂
i got the same model in grey with 92k miles for $20,375 with taxes, title, and all extras just a few days ago. i think we both got a good price for the mileage. enjoy your car! i am loving mine
Wow…I was wondering if I was getting screwed too. I am about to buy the same model 2018 with 87,000 miles on it for 19K out the door.
Great review!
Its nice car but Honda should start giving around view camera standard on all trims , due to the big blind spots in back ...
what about the sunroof?
how did you change the speedometer color? mine is red and would love to change it to blue. i figured out how to change the screen color but not the speedometer.
I do not know that you can change the color I know the SI and maybe the Sport come with red lighting in the dash layout. I think the remaining models come as seen.
Justin Fuller thanks! mine is the sport so i guess it’ll have to stay red :(
A dealer in MA is asking $21700 plus fees (around $550 total) and taxes ($1400) for the 2019 EX hatchback. Is that a good deal?
That would be a great deal.
I paid for my $21,500 with 0 down and 0.9APR😎
@@Chinameca1928 20019?
@@Kingsu451 yes Sir ,2019 at Honda del cerrito in El cerrito California, 10 miles away from San Francisco ca.
Amazing. @@Chinameca1928
RE the brake hold, why not just keep your foot on the brake pedal?
It is a convenience feature... Helpful on hills too.
Good review
So now that the 2019 model is out... what is the difference between 2018 and 2019...
Ivan Sanchez volume knob
Do the hatchbacks include a sunroof/ moonroof??
The EX and above models have a moonroof.
Ima get one
Does it have a handbrake
electronic parking brake
Bought the same ex model about a month ago and I really don't like the horn sound. It doesnt match with the car at all.. awful ...
What does S and L means on the cvt gear?
S= Sport mode - revs at higher RPM and gets more get up and go. Giving up MPGs. L = Lower gears. Like putting the car in first to creep out of the mud...
@@JustinFullerReviews thanks 👍
So is sport mode basically drive but more powerful and fast?
Basically
..
I just bought the 2018 Honda Civic hatchback, the car is nice. But the horn doesn't match the car.. even scooter's horn is louder than the Civic's horn..
I would agree the horn is a bit weak! lol Congrats on the new Honda though!
Hi how can I go on the internet using the web browser in my car?! Do I have to jailbreak it?
You have to be in park and connected to wifi.

What's the lighting setup for?
