2017 Honda Civic 1.5 Sport - A Hot Hatch in Disguise !

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

So the brand new Honda Civic surprised my big time. I knew it was going to be good but didn't imagine it would be such a great drivers car. Superb handling, great engine and transmission and packed full of tech and toys. This car takes the Civic to another level !
A huge thanks to Chris and the guys at Hendy Honda for letting me drive this car so soon after launch. I can't imagine what the Type R will be like when it launches later this year. Hopefully I will get my hands on it so I can share it with you guys !

    Great review. One thing you mention elsewhere is watching temperature gauges to check the engine is warmed up before expecting the turbo to kick in. I think that is a really good practise for these modern turbo cars. I’ve had one of these Civic Sport for 5 months and decided to stick with it. Compared with the Mazda MX RF, it feels just as light and airy, more comfortable, better visibility and the double kick of the engine: Vtech and turbo. Surprising there aren’t more on the roads. Cher’s, Pete

This is my third Civic, by far the best one i have owned. Lastly its a looker many people have photographed the car and come over to talk about. Eric B enjoy the car.

    Had my Sport Rally Red 2 months, still a great thrill driving this car. Mine is a CVT, boy does it shift when you put your foot down. Nice seeing other cars fading away in the rear view mirror. 😁

    I have a 2017 Coupe Touring and this thing is absolutely terrific. Almost got 2,000 miles on it and I haven't had any issues (the infotainment system works well for me). Plus, it's deceptively fast (for a Civic, that is) with the CVT - throw it in S (or L if you're feeling it) and you'll hit 60 in about 6 1/2 seconds! Great car for anyone looking for fun without breaking the bank.

Let's hope it not far off from the manual you have reviewed. Btw, I've Subscribed for your enthusiasm! Keep up the good work!!

    Just wanted to say thank you. It’s this video that persuaded me to buy my 1.5 Civic Sport Plus some 16 months ago, and I’ve not had one day of regret. The car is very comfy on long journeys and with a mixture of town and motorway driving , I’m still getting over 42mpg. I’ve also tried the 1.0 Civic, but couldn’t get anywhere near to the mpg I’m getting with the 1.5. Im guessing it’s something to do with the small engine working harder in what is a heavy car.

    Fantastic review. One thing though, the 1L turbo has a timing belt ( yeah, I know right! ) and the service scheduled replacment is 60k miles. A little odd in this day and age, thing is, I've been quoted £1200 for a main dealer change! That's just crazy. Something to remember if you're thinking of buying the 1L. I decided against it and went for the 1.5L sport +. If you thought the sport was good, the sport+ just adds a few extra toys, to make it even better. For me, heated seats were non negotiable. Fantastic channel though. Love your reviews.

A great drivers car , it will make U SMILE.
