They really nailed the interior. That would still be satisfying in a more expensive car.

Seriously! I would love this interior at ANY price-point. Please, no more overcomplicated electronics/haptic feedback buttons/etc... Nobody, at any price point, or at any age range, enjoys those features.
Agreed. I think Honda nailed a no nonsense, practical, quality interior. The drive quality looks great as a daily commuter!
@@nongpraduwarrior5375 shame it has 1.5t motor and CVT, shite!
I have the white sedan and the interior is fantastic. Simple, clean, and user friendly. The seats are more comfortable than my 2.0T accord
You really feel the simplistic 90s-ness of this car. The interior and the exterior are minimalist while still being completely functional and pleasent to look at. It's fantastic.
It’s why I’m so confused why there’s so much backlash online about the way this thing looks, from a lot of Honda people. They’re always lamenting not having the simple back- to-basics approach from the cars in the 90s, and this thing, even visually, harkens back to those days. And they all hate it. It’s so dumb.
Yeah, Honda went back to form with this car and embraced much of what made Honda's great in the past.
In the 70's Honda's tag line was: "Honda - We make it simple."
@@DainLaguna I think the hate is mostly from young guys who got into that origami meets Pokemon' styling.
@@Incomudro1963 lmao probably. We have a 10th Gen in our household and I love it, my girlfriend is the exact demographic that they mentioned in the vid. But I like that honda mixes it up style wise. I’m a former gti owner so I appreciate the more restrained lines.
@@DainLaguna I think most people view it as understyled and lacking any distinct body lines that really put it apart from other sedans. It’s basically boring.
But that’s not always a bad thing
This might sound odd to some, but one of my favourite parts of that Civic is the fact that it has REAL exhaust tips!!! I'm getting so tired of those fake ones that seem to be becoming more and more common. Thank you Honda :)
The C class mercedes has fake exhaust. meanwhile civic manual's have real.
My Mom is 80 and her 2018 Honda Civic Sport Hatchback has 3 pedals. Actually every single car she has owned in her life has had 3 pedals. Go Mom!
My theory is the Civic design engineers are fans of your channel; they improved on most things you’ve been harping for years.
I doubt the designers in Japan watch him lol
@@Unchainedmaple888 Marketing looks for feedback on CZcams channels and popular opinions have been of similar ones found in this channel. Its not that surprising.
One could only hope.
@@jebril While that is true, few automakers have been addressing these universal complaints like Honda did here.
@@headcoatee yup, honda does a good job at changes based on feedback whereas acura doesn't. i mean, honda redesign the 2012 civic after one year, and they brought back the volume button pretty quick haha. acura on the other hand kept that damn beak for years.
This interior is my favorite in probably 20 years. It’s fantastic.
Same here, very pleased with the design direction and I hope other manufacturers follow suit! I’m an unapologetic vw fanboy and I would love to see them adopt what Honda has been doing, they’re atrocious when it comes to glossy plastics.
I just don't get it.
It looks so simple and clean. Like we don't want much. We are actually asking them to do LESS and then they keep throwing more crap on there that just gets in the way.
Well done Honda.
I love the vents
Perfect interior. Exterior is boring and bubbly
What... fuck that. Aside from maybe the speed of the screen, the Nissan Sentra SR Premium has a better interior than Civic Touring...
However, Nissan fails to deliver any sportback/hatchback vehicle design. Flop decision on their part imo
I watched so many reviews. On a few top picks. Mazda, Toyota and Honda. An entire weekend of binge-watching. It was not until I saw this one I decided to get this car. Exactly as shown. I have only had it for 10 weeks and I would say this review was spot on. I have zero buyers remorse. Thank guys.
What made you pick this over the Mazda just curious? I ended up getting the cx5 and one of the main reasons I did so was because of the noise level inside the car. I couldn't take how loud some of the newer Toyotas are.
They made this car so unbelievably good that even an LX or sports trims (which are both at or under $25,000) are amazing cars with almost every feature you'd need
Oh, in Germany this car starts at 31k
@@patrickschreiber6067 In Israel its 47k+ 😞
@@patrickschreiber6067 I think it’s because it may be hybrid, for Europe at least
@Juan Suarez I really don't care about performance tho, just cost and and reliability
@Juan Suarez What about the 2L?
I hope this signals the end of piano black everything and excessive touch controls
At an end, your rule is. And not short enough, it was!
I hope this ends the idiocy of SUV's as well.
So we are not getting swipe to steer?
Um, am I the only one who sees that sea of gloss black all around the vent area, push button start, and on the freaking steering wheel? You're guaranteed to touch it and it will absolutely get covered in dust. You can even see him touching the gloss black on the steering wheel when he presses the buttons and praises the buttons for being matte black. Idk why Honda didn't just use that carbon fiber looking trim instead of all that gloss black.
@@Unchainedmaple888 hell I'd be happy with the fake carbon fiber trim over piano black trim any day!
I have a pretty severe Filet-O-Fish addiction so I really do appreciate matte textures used in this vehicle. I'm sold.
Retweet to that!
My mate neeb has the same problem
Mmm, dolphin
I hate the mcdonalds fish sandwich, it's so bland compared to the ones I ate in Singapore. Like damn man, those small bakeries really made some DELICIOUS food
🤣
I’ve owned 2 new civics and accords, and a few new BMW 5 series; however, I always come back to Honda’s quality, innovation, and value advantage time and time again.
Man I love the way you guys make videos. Clear car enthusiasts, who are realistic about the average car buyer, with a lot of nitty-gritty, tech-y stuff, that somehow is never the boring, useless, neurosis-addled nit-picks from some reviewers. With really clean shooting/editing, too? And nice audio? Best car channel, hands-down.
I really liked the interior review. You make a convincing case for WHY piano black is bad for commonly touched surfaces, why good black levels are important on all digital clusters, and why good matte physical controls matter. You also explain how the layout can be clean while still retaining the important ergonomics from physical controls. I'm really glad Honda has continued in this direction in a time when a lot of new cars seem designed for flashiness without consideration for practicality.
I just wish they offered more than an all-black interior. This car's interior design begs for it.
Agreed on all points. Would be great to see some two-toning for visual variety, but otherwise all great features.
Yet you can literally see him touch the gloss black on the steering wheel when he's pressing the steering wheel buttons. Of all the places to put gloss black, why on the damn steering wheel? And when you go to adjust the vents, you're going to rest your hands/get your fingerprints on all that gloss black around the vents and central dash area. You won't touch the gloss black on the door, but all the gloss black in the interior will collect dust.
@@Unchainedmaple888 I did notice that gloss black on the steering wheel. It's not the worst but it's misplaced I'll agree.
For the sake of cost and maintaining that price point is the reason why it will only have one color option on the interior
2023 Civic type R: "Somebody say they wanted something other than black interior? I got you fam"
Wow, been a while since we've had such a high praise review across the board for a vehicle. Now I'm hyped for what Si and Type R are going to be like when it's has such a great starting platform to begin with.
I wish the Si would come in the shorter hatch version, but I know it won't because of cannibalization fears (which are really unwarranted)
@@LearnAboutFlow I'm pretty sure both the Si and R are coming in the hatch version only, might be wrong though.
@@plyre869 wrong. Spy shots of the 4door Si have been spotted
@@1nvd oh ye, i thought he said they were coming in the sedan version, yes the 2 door has been ditched and rightfully so imo.
SI will be $36k, and the Type R will be $45k. Not even close to worth the cost. These were luxury Japanese prices just 5 years ago. Don’t be a fool
I've been grinding these car review videos for a prospective purchase, and I have to say.... you guys by far do the best job. No one else looks under car/discusses every aspect, and seem extremely not invested or biased in review. Good job, reminds me of those amazing 2000s TV shows on horsepower channel lol.
I just found these guys and have been binging their videos. Not only are they high quality but they're very entertaining.
Check out TheTopher
This video should be one of the best and biggest compliments that the Honda Civic team could receive, must be rewarding for them.
I've never seen any other videos that you guys gave the level of compliments to any other cars.
Apparently, it's pretty sure that this car is going to sell well in the US market very well, I assume this sells well all over the world.
Now I'm seriously considering this car as our new family car. I'm so happy to consider this car as a Japanese who loved the old Civic Si so much a long time ago.
It blows my mind how much space this has in the hatch. I’ve seen some people bellyaching about the price of this thing compared to like an accord, but this is way more practical than a accord? As long as you’re OK with a slightly smaller interior space. This has more cargo capacity than something like a Subaru crosstrek , and drives infinitely better. There’s so much space in the back of this thing that you could make a case for getting this over something like a CX-5 which doesn’t really have that much more appreciable cargo room or interior space. Unless you just really wanna be up high, there’s no reason to choose a cuv. Honda nailed it.
Costs more than the accord
Time for Honda to reintroduce the Accord Crosstour.
@@tjts1 how come it’s useless to you? What do you haul that isn’t supported by a sedan?
The Straight Pipes got an insane number of boxes in when they did their box test
I love my CX-5 but I’m single so it works. I had a 2019 Tiguan before and it was huge lol and I wanted something shorter with better driving dynamics.
The interior harkens back to their simple yet refined designs of the 1980's and 90's. Low cowl, dash and belt line with lots of glass and straight lines. Glad to see Honda moved away from the Sci-Fi bathtub interiors of the mid 2000's onward.
Yep, the dashboard looks so similar to my '87 Accord. Without those 𝘱𝘦𝘴𝘬𝘺 airbags, you could even have the shelf up there!
Agree. 2022 dash is big improvement and reminds me of my 91 Honda Civic hatchback's view forward. The hood literally disappeared once my seat positioned for long drives. Sharp car.
25 and I also bought the hatchback.
Hatchbacks just look so sleek to me, and more utilitarian
Just got a 22 Sport Touring Hatch this past weekend. It really is an outstanding, fun to drive vehicle with great features. The Bose sound system kicks!
You guys do such a great job with your reviews and I appreciate that you don’t just regurgitate the press briefing talking points, but actually consider whether real drivers would find something exciting, useful, or annoying. I also like that you don’t just review exotics but drive cars that real people can afford. Not all of us can toss on a pair of stringback driving gloves for an early morning jaunt through the Alps in the latest Maserati. Some of us have to find enjoyment on our drive to the grocery store.
They're really the best reviewers on youtube for the people who care
I haven’t been the kindest to the civic in recent years, I will say this new body style is very well done. I would never consider the last civic spaceship a looker. This looks good. Simple, with character.
And i would argue it looks just as mean and sporty without looking like a gundam collectible.
@@Mr.Marbles SERIOUSLY! I felt like I was "too old" to be caught driving that gen. This one nails it. Plenty aggressive while being simultaneously mature looking. Honda just broadened its buying demographic by a LOT.
@@2WhiteAndNerdy the normal previous one looked already like the type r. It was way too wild. I guess its because the normal cars look way too sporty now so the actual sport models have to try so hard
LOL
I absolutely love these reviews. They are always put together incredibly well and professionally. I also appreciate the absence of bias as there are comparisons to other vehicles but this generation of civic hatchback does seem the be the best one yet.
Looks like a great product overall. The interior looks awesome. I love dashboards that are low and not a mile long. I also like dashboards that you won't hit your knee on every time you get in and out like the Corolla. The digital cluster not being garbage is fantastic. Metal honeycomb instead of crap plastic is also nice. Good visibility is also huge, part of why I love Subaru. Finally, offering a manual is just a cherry on top. Honda going back to tuning their cars for great driving and good usability is really the best move. I've been surprised at how expensive the Civic has gotten, but at least they're making it seem worth it.
I've never clicked SO HARD. I can't wait for the review of the 2.0 Sport 6MT, it'll probably be my next car!
Can't go wrong with a Civic!
What do you mean? The new civic will get a normal 2.0T manual like the previous accord got?
@@15borat no. The NA K20 with port fuel injection. Aka something that should be super reliable.
@@15borat 2.0 NA
I’m looking forward to a Sport 6MT test too!
Huge win in that interior for Honda.
VW blew the interior on the MK8 GTI, so badly that they've lost me as a customer.
I had a MK6 (4 years) and have been driving my MK7 since 2015.
But when I get rid of it, I'm not going with a MK8.
VW went full retard in that regard. I have had my Mk5 GTI since new (2006) and I’ll probably be parting with it next year to buy a 2.0L Sport 6MT (Miata is my other car).
Mk8 went full retard on the interior lol exactly
@Incomudro fully agreed. If you loved VW's exceptional and high quality designed interiors of the Mk7 Golf variants, Honda picked it up here with this new Civic (VW, you blew it with the Mk8). I'm highly impressed.
Sorry, but there's no way I'd go from a GTI to this. . This Civic is nice enough as an entry level DD, but there's no real excitement in the performance, and the look is ...meh. Maybe the SI will put it over the top, but honestly, I'm not interested in a 6MT at this point in my life, and there's no CVT in my future. If they offered an actual auto box like the Accord, or some kind of DSG, I might change my mind. I'll give VW the chance to take care of the worst issues on the interior in the mid cycle refresh....which I'm sure they'll do. In spite of the funky dash, the Mk 8 drives brilliantly as seen is SG's previous video. Meanwhile, my '16 Mk 7 is serving me just fine.
@@johnstone7697 if you look at the big 3 in Europe, VAG, BMW, and Benz, they’re all going Haptic Touch with interiors. I’m sure they can make some improvements, but the core layout of the Mk8 and future VAG products are getting away from physical buttons.
And from a numbers standpoint, yeah, even the 6MT Sport Touring HB has nothing on the GTI/R. That’s more in the Si/CTR variants. Sadly, Honda thinks that making an Si HB would interfere with CTR sales, so sedan only.
The best car review channel bar none, for content, delivery and production. Top job guys.
I had been looking at CUVs like the Kona and Seltos, but there were too many drawbacks. My research led me to the Civic Hatchback, and I bought one a few days ago. I was able to get exactly what I wanted: sport touring with the CVT in Boost Blue Pearl. Loving it!
You lucky dog.
All I could find was a 2 month waiting list in a red sport hatch.
I put the 500 down but then I saw the 22 Corolla nightshade SE and got that. Actually gotta make sure the Honda salesperson refunded my $500 back.
@@3rdWorldNola The market was tight 7 months ago, but not nearly as bad as it is now. I would not be able to replicate this success in June 2022. I was concerned things might get worse before they get better. I got lucky with the timing.
Congrats on your new car.
I got the same exact car as yours and I love it
I bought one like yours in the Pearl white metallic with the grey/black interior. Just waiting on my window tint and it will be perfect. Drives great. Stereo is amazing. Lots of room and my passengers are comfortable in the front and back
I Actually don’t doubt it. Honda is pretty good at listening to criticism. Even with the smallest things like a volume knob. This is why Honda is my favorite automaker.
I’m a mechanical engineer and worked in the auto industry and Honda is one of the brands that excels in every industry they go into. Electric generators, cars, motorcycles, power tools, marine, even airplanes.
no company is perfect and sometimes honda is frustrating (mostly because of acura), but they consistently have a great balance of affordability, quality, functionality, and fun. can't wait to own a ctr.
"Even the smallest things like a volume knob." It took Honda years of derision to finally bring the traditional volume knob back (and they probably hated to do so), while a simple tuning knob is still missing on most trim levels.
@@kenhoward3512 while it took them two years to make the change, they still did it. hell, they redesigned an entire civic after just one year based on complaints.
What about Toyota? Your opinion? I like to hear it
@@edgaryzen4925 I’m a big fan of Toyota too. However, Toyota doesn’t quite take as many risks (innovate) as Honda. And they are not in so many industries. The biggest risk Toyota has ever taken was the Prius. Other than that… nothing much really. I mean, the engine and transmission in the 4Runner (one of my favorite vehicles btw) has been around for about 2 decades now. I still love them what they are: reliable and fairly simple systems, but as an engineer I would like to see more innovation out of Toyota. Let’s hope they do.
I don’t remember another car you guys have gushed over this much. Excited to get the chance to see one in person and test drive. Can’t wait to see the Si and Type R! I love this design inside and out. My first car was a 1978 Civic hatchback - yellow with the houndstooth interior, 5 speed, and wood steering wheel and shift knob. Wish I still had it. 😀
Had a ‘76 blue Civic sedan, first generation 4 speed and loved that car.
You DINOSAURS!🦖🦕 Just kidding. I'm envious although the first Civic was tiny! I had a 82 Accord with automatic for a while and it was keen! I was 16 and installed big subwoofer on the rear deck and got plastic hubcaps! I loved my sound systems. Who needs (engine) power when you have BASS???
I always adore the sections in reviews where car enthusiasts young and old praise the CVT so you can see them A) being impressed they actually said that with a straight face and B) trying to hold back their laughter/despair.
The quality of your video is superb! thank you!
Si and Type R variants will be tough to pass up. Looking forward to those reviews!
Some say that if you repeat “piano black plastic” three times, the savage gooseman will be summoned
Just got a 6 speed yesterday so I'm watching this again
Hi David, are you still living the manual after 11 months??
My 23 is great, 12000 miles now
@jeremyroper7273 I had a 10th gen and the 11th has a much better interior and highway manner the hatch has plenty of room for me and my kids to shop or travel, locating a 6 speed can be difficult my 23 was the only stick inside 150 miles
@@davidpistek6241thank you for the feedback! looking forward to finding a stick shift.
The MOST Unbiased review channel ever!!! Great work guys!!! I’m buying the Integra TypeS MANUAL!!!
2022 Honda Civic Hatchback. 2.0L Naturally Aspirated. Manual. The Perfect Car.
I bought a 10th gen Si last December and I just love all the points and aggressive design. I personally am glad I didn't wait but this design will be more acceptable for waaaay more people.
I guess the Si is not as ugly as the Type R.
This is the video that got me hooked on your channel. Keep up the good work.
Excellent review as usual. Enjoyed watching it.
So I guess:
-get a Mazda 3 if you don't need the space and the utility
-get a Civic if you have a familly with kids but also wanna have some fun
I have a 2021 Mazda3 Turbo Hatch and it definitely has enough room to haul almost anything. The turbo model also outperforms almost every other car in its price range as far as performance goes. My only complaint is I wish the suspension was tuned differently. It handles well, but something is just slightly off about how it takes corners
@@HCG maybe it’s that torsion beam
@@HCG I've seen the rear seats in some reviews. It's barely usage. But I think, it is probably more of a driver's car anyway
Honestly? With the exception of the straightahead speed that the 3 offers, in that one specific trim level, I’m not seeing anything that the 3 is dynamically capable of that outweighs how much better the civic is at utility. like yes I do dig the styling. But the styling isn’t so nice that it completely counteracts how good the interior of the civic is space wise. Or how the hatchback in the civic is actually useful. Or the fact that the civic has supreme ride handling balance. If you need I will drive and you need it in a car that sacrifices utility for the sake of, I can see somebody opting for the 3.
@@DainLaguna As a guy with no kids I never needed the space and the utility a Civic can offer and I do enjoy the exterior design of a 3 more. I really like the interior of both cars tho. I don't think the Civic has supreme ride handling balance, compared to a 3, but I guess that's also down to personal prefference
I'm "over forty" and I love my 10th gen si coupe.
Heck yea they are cool
Me too! 2020 si
Yesss! I smile whenever I hear old people praise the 10th gen civic. Its refreshing cause many people (older folks especially) hate on them
@@darealdeal8185 39 ✊😎
Been in the Honda fam since 1989...My father bought that year's Honda Prelude 😁
This review was done so perfectly that I am now considering a new civic hatch over my aging Focus ST. Excellent quality as always!
Great review. Thanks guys!
Woohoo! Putting in an order for a 6MT version stat. Seriously. THIS is the one I've been waiting for. I checked out a base model sedan (AT) at a local dealer and was highly impressed. Just needed a stick. Now we can have one!
I wish I was in the market for a car because I would definitely take a look at this. Reminds me so much of my old 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT that also had the unconventional fastback/sportback hatch design which I think has better aesthetics than the typical hatchback. Plus I like how it has more glass for visibility; I'm finding modern cars are sacrificing visibility for 'cooler' styling. And yes, being in my 40s, I hated the over-styling of the previous gen and wouldn't even consider it as an option, but this, while it doesn't really have a 'wow' factor, it's more digestible than some Anime-type design. I see good things here. Nice work as always, gents!
You guys do an outstanding job on your reviews. Thank you so much for sharing your insight’s.
I love these everyday car reviews.
I recently saw a mid 90s Civic hatch next to a fairly new Civic sedan and I was shocked how tiny the older Civic was, or how big the Civic has gotten over the years.
I had this car parked next to a 2005 rav4 and its bigger than that.
Its like an Accord a few years ago. Too Big.
It has evolved to the perfect size.
The best part of waking up is Savagegeese and CVTs
You guys have earned my subscription. Keep up the good work guys!
Been waiting for your review. The only review that matters.
Honda Civic hatchback seems to be the next vehicle for me. Anyone else?
Yup!
I have one and was looking at Accords but man….this’ll be tough to pass up
Nope. For the same price I can get a 2.0 accord, and for less a 1.5 accord.
@@singular9 I have the 1.5 accord. This civic is more advanced in tech than the current accord

you know you are getting old when lumbar adjustment is a main complaint! Awesome review as always guys!
As someone who owns an 8th gen Si and didnt really care for the last gen CIvic, I cant wait to see the Si and C.T.R. versions!
I cant think of a stereotypical group of humans to associate with this car so I have to say it's pretty strong.
Musicians maybe

@@tachometer-flac63 and I bought a 24 sport touring hatch manual. Great car!
One of the things that I loved so much about my old '87 Integra was the low cowl height and low beltline -- that improved visibility and gave the car a light, airy feel. It's nice to see that Honda still recognized the benefits that brings.
I mean to be fair, the 10th Gen has that too.
Higher belt lines is all about safety regulations. I'm surprised they didn't bring up Subaru with all the glass they use for great visibility
I got the sedan, but I burned it in a Mississippi park-and-ride when I couldn't find a spot for my charcuterie boards. 🧀🥓🛹
Ok..
In all honesty I would choose that intro music. I listened to it over and over 10 times. It’s fabulous. Good music is becoming the new signature of those geese. ;))
Lets put this in perspective back in '00 / '01 I was in HS and bought a Civic SI (that beautiful blue) and was able to easily afford it + gas + insurance working a PT job. Now we are at the point where the base level civic is barely affordable for a normal working class family. It that doesn't tell you something about our economy, inflation, and standard of living I don't know what does.
Looking forward to finding a Honda Civic hatchback manual. I love hatchbacks but being a "senior citizen" I just couldn't get myself to buy the prior generation since it was too (how do I say tastefully) "young" looking. :-) (Since 1982 I've had at least one or more Hondas in the driveway. Once they stopped the hatchback I had to go to SUV though.)
I'm very very happy about the interior and exterior design and the retention of physical controls. Also extremely keen to see what the Si and R will be like. A low-key unobtrusive quick version of this car would be a perfect everyday do-everything machine for me
ty for this, already planned to order mine tomorrow
Bro, your video is so well produced.
Old people buy hatchbacks too! :) They are God's gift to those who don't wanna have to buy a damn CUV/SUV (and all the compromises thereof) to carry around stuff, and have sedan-fun driving at the same time.
Kinda wish you guys woulda driven the 1.5 turbo with manual trans for the driving enthusiasts (who also need a "common sense" car), and commented more on it's relative fun-to-drive-ness.
Speaking of color selection, I've been trying to find an EX sedan in Aegean Blue. When I searched nationwide the other day, I found all of 16 for sale. The end of the chip shortage can't come soon enough.
Great video my man. Proud of u
This review has me salivating for the Si. I am a 10th Gen Si owner and its been a blast. Cant wait to see what you think of that when it comes available. Thank you Geese!!
This thing combined with the Mazda 3's styling (while keeping the visibility) would be amazing. I also wish the back wasn't so raked back as it'd have even more utility.
And Mazda’s fantastic AWD system
I'd imagine "more utility" (this hatch *already* has plenty) is what Honda would intend their HR-V and CR-V for. They obviously were leaning more toward styling with this design - a smart move, I'd say, considering who they're aiming this anti-CUV at.
Not possible, two separate companies, also two separate cars and very different chassis.
The Mazda is better looking, has a proper automatic and AWD. I'd be buying the Mazda. I have a Honda and a Mazda in the garage right now, so I'm not particularly brand loyal.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH What about mazda 3 visibility, Isn't it crap?
Interior looks really good and the car looks mature compared to the previous gen.
Great video. Just ordered my manual sport, I am the 1%!! Cannot wait!!!
i just put down half a deposit on one of these today (sport touring hatchback) and im coming out of a 3 year lease on a 2019 accord EX i loved my accord but i simply didnt need anything that big im super excited for my car to get here just need to wait for it to arrive run a credit check and then sign it all up im pumped im also getting alot more out of this car than on my old accord. great review im truly psyched to get mine
The INTERIOR in this thing is amazing. Watching the video and being able to really get a good view of all the windows especially the rear hatch glass is VERY impressive. Still the Mazda 3 is on a slightly higher level. Turbo with AWD? If the 3 had this Hondas amazing interior it would be a home run.
You guys in North America are lucky to have 2.0 litre naturally aspirated engines with a manual still on offer. In Europe, most of the new cars are 1.0-1.5 3cyl turbos with 100-150 hp...
Something something China compliance.
we do have the 1.5 turbo here with manual. makes good power
Your channel is fantastic dude.
You guys rock! This car rocks! Honda did thier homework on this gen and it shows
Wry excited for this car. Love how the styling has been ‘matured’ and the fact you can get it as a 6 speed manual. Very interested in how the Si will drive and look. I come from a Honda family, and while most of us have moved into the Pilot and Odyssey’s phase of life, I’m still a die hard car guy.
Nice review ! Thumbs up 👍
I’m happy to see the hatchback making its way back again, definitely gives a lot more versatility and practicality for all around usefulness.
Love the manual option ( that’s the way I’d personally go )
I’m curious about the engine options though , the 2.0 @ 158 hp vs the 1.5 turbo charged @ 180 hp I think there’s better longevity and fuel economy with the 2.0 ? Perhaps less overall maintenance and ownership costs ( including initial purchase price ) I don’t know 🤷♂️ but I’d like to see your driving review final thoughts on the 2.0 manual hatchback .
Thanks for the great in-depth review! You guys point out so much that I would never notice :) I honestly am not too impressed with the exterior or interior solely based on the looks, but based on the glowing reviews from everyone, I'd really like to see it in person and see if that changes my mind!
It’s nice looking. Your subjective opinion doesn’t count
@@walterwhite751 I agree with the OP, it looks _okay_ but not right somehow - i wouldn't say "nice"
I bought this exact car in a 2023 model. So far, my only complaint is a lack of storage in the cabin area. It looks great. Love the Continental tires! Amazing 12 speaker BOSE! It’s a great car! For reference, I’m 6 foot 215 and 48 years old
Mines in order but only the sports edition. I would of liked the improve sound system but I’m sure the 8 speaker set up will work just fine
I bought the hybrid, no other option in Europe, and I’m 6,4 foot and 105 kg, 47 years old. It’s no cheap and here is not considered a small car. Accord is not sold in Europe since long time ago.
The interior of this car is so far ahead of the competition. The gloss textured material looks high end, but doesn't suffer from fingerprints and scratches like the gloss black everyone else is obsessing with. This interior is going to age so much better than a lot of so-called luxury interiors with their gloss black everywhere and clunky touchscreens for climate control.
If y'all are not liking every video that the goose puts out, you need to get your brain checked because we all need to support this masterpiece of a channel.
Fantastic review!
Absolutely helpful value. You just helped me decide. My next car will be a civic. Thanks guys.
Subscribing to this channel years ago was the best thing I ever did. Your reviews are on a level that most other creators can only dream of. I mean, I watched an entire review on a frickin' Honda Civic - a car I could care less about, but your content is so well done and interesting, I couldn't turn away. Excellent work, gentleman. As always.
A car you couldn’t care less about……
@@alexnutcasio936 Actually, no. I could care less about it if you gave me the chance. You attempting to correct my grammar is something I couldn't care less about.
I was immediately anti-new Civic after seeing a touring for sale here in MN for $39k, but for MSRP it’s actually excellent
Jack in gorilla form is my favorite. Great vid as always, also ive never been more jealous watching you and Mark having a blast in the Blackwing last vid.
Honda back on their game again.... really, really excited to see what the SI and Type R are like. Awesome review as always gents...
I always gripe on Honda’s. This is the first one I would buy, just amazing looking. In and out
I'm really impressed with how much quality and how many features they packed into this car, well done Honda. Now, give me that new Integra with the turbo 2.0L and SH-AWD and I might just consider selling my Golf R.
Love this review guys just picked one up two weeks ago and let me tell you this review is spot on. Amazing vehicle
Still enjoy it?
@@ryanlittleton5615 absolutely. Great on gas and more than enough power.
@@polishblak That's great. That 1.5T has always made me hesitate a little, so I was just curious.
Thank you for that. You got me convinced.
