Honda tech, so I've been in a few of these already. The interior is fantastic. Did away with all the problems I had with the 10th gen. Very easy to use all the controls. Mechanically, it appears to be almost identical to the 10th generation with a couple of minor changes. The biggest difference I can tell is that there's way more open air in the engine bay, which should make things easier to work on. First car I've been able to see the ground through in a long time (if there wasn't a splash shield in the way). All in all, I like them. Big improvement over the 10th gen.

Honda has done it again. Proving that practicality and usability first makes for some of the best cars.

The comparison to the Mazda 3 is so fitting. It just goes to show that you don’t need to completely rebrand yourself as a ‘premium’ brand to get a nice looking and handling vehicle that doesn’t forget what its main purpose at this price point should be: to be useful and efficient while still engaging. Sure, the 3 probably has better steering feel, but regardless of how much you want your car to reflect your ‘lifestyle’, its hard to argue with a real trunk and actual space for people, something the 3 totally forgot. The hatchback versions of these vehicles makes the discrepancy between the two even more vast.

If you care about fit and finish, don’t get a Tesla. Look up Car Craft Auto Detailing on YT and see his inspection of a Model 3. Total horseshit quality compared to even…a Nissan. Honda won’t disappoint you in any manner similar to the aforementioned.

Agree 100% with everything. I think the Mazda 3 has better styling inside and out, and is much faster (with the turbo motor, anyway), and gets a "normal" (albeit old-school 6-speed) automatic transmission. But the Honda has a ton more room inside, gets better fuel economy, and gets an honest-to-goodness independent rear suspension. Furthermore, the infotainment in the Honda is a touchscreen, whereas the Mazda forces you to only use their center console knobs. Yes, the Mazda can be had with AWD, but to me, that's just more weight and complexity - I've not had an issue with running dedicated winter tires on a FWD car for nearly the past 20 years. I'd say a head-to-head comparison is definitely warranted.

@jasonharris996

3 жыл бұрын

I mostly agree, although I will say that Mazda's infotainment knob is intuitive enough that you really don't miss reaching out to use a touchscreen. I actually prefer the knob over touchscreen as it tends to make more ergonomic sense while driving. Furthermore, most people who shop in this segment don't know, nor care, about independent rear vs torsion beam suspension. Honda does beat out the 3 in terms of interior space, storage capacity, and fuel efficiency, but I think the rest is splitting hairs.

and theres people complaining car become larger and larger, but they forget how humongous they grow over the last 50 years

The level of depth for the song you're playing on the infotainment is incredible, in every video. So good!

I love it. I like that it got bigger and it’s like a family sedan for the occasional time the whole family is in the car. I test drove it today and it’s so smooth. I don’t really care about the sportiness, but it just feels so good to drive. The lane keep is amazing - like literally just works. I do wish they added even more room in the back by making the trunk smaller. It looks great in my opinion - very mature. I feel the hatchback looks more sporty, so good for that if you want it.

I was struck by the title of this video. As I've watched/read reviews of the new Civic it occurred to me that self-styled "enthusiasts" underestimate the challenge of designing a car like this. Especially if it's to be sold in a variety of national markets, some with consumers obsessed with SUVs and others where a sedan is still a family's default choice. First and foremost it has to be affordable with an MSRP that tops out around $30K and with operating costs that won't put a serious dent in the monthly budget. It has to be an accommodating daily driver as well as longer distance road "tripper" with room for four (or in a pinch five) passengers and their luggage/gear. Not likely to be leased and discarded after 3 years, it should look good (not out of date) and run well six or more years down the road, retaining as much value as possible when it is replaced. If a consumer's politics or economics make fuel economy the most important priority a hybrid, PHEV, or an EV version may be a worthwhile option but even the much larger group of consumers who still opt a conventional ICE vehicle may find that big large figure on a window sticker to be a critical factor in a showroom. A one or two mpg advantage may not pencil out as a big savings but it still matters, especially to those who find arithmetic a challenge. That makes an automaker's selection of a CVT for vehicles in this category understandable, especially if its is relatively transparent. Most consumers won't care whether it's a CVT, a torque converter, or a dual clutch transmission as long as they don't have to deal with three pedals. Stop light drag races, much less track performance, don't matter to potential customers of these vehicles, either. But "peppy" performance, especially for passing is. Acceleration from 0-60 mph is far less crucial than from 50 to 70 mph. What does matter are driver assistance and safety aids, especially if combined with digital eye candy. If cost cutting is required in less noticeable areas or such amenities are used to tempt customers to select a higher trim, that's OK as long as the MSRP doesn't seriously exceed the $30K ceiling. Put it all together and the new Civic sedan is a very strong entry and a notable accomplishment in this vehicle category. The exterior styling is more "conservative" than the last generation. It will age well, I think, and that makes it appealing both to new car buyers and likely in terms of resale value down the line. For fuel misers, the base engine exceeds the magic 40 mpg bar (highway) and the more powerful 1.5L turbo in the Touring trim is no slouch at 38 mpg. Interior space is especially generous both in the back seat and in the trunk. All in all, the interior is strikingly upscale with a minimalist vibe. The entire sedan market segment (all sizes) is shrinking, especially in North America, but the Civic looks well positioned to fight off rivals from Korea and elsewhere.

Think mt is only offered in the Sport Trim. Check the Mazda 3. MT is only in top trim for that car.

For cars like this, I feel like real-world mpg would be really useful information to include in your reviews. Sometimes it's not even close to the EPA numbers, especially the highway numbers since I think they still only test at 55 mph. Better fuel economy is probably the biggest reason why people should buy this over, for example, the HR-V for the same money (since the average customer doesn't care so much about driving dynamics), but it's something you rarely talk about.

The last Honda Civic I like was the 8th gen. This one I like too.

Got a 2008 Civic and that is the definition of an econo-box interior. Although it now has 280,000 miles and the most money spent on it was when the key wore out and had the ignition rebuilt... Really says something when the key is the first thing to wear out.

Honda: OK, we'll tame the wild / samurai design of the 10th Gen and go with a more conservative, boring look in the 11th with that horrible "tablet-on-dash" ! People: Nooo... Not like that !

The new 1.5T uses "valve overlap" to ensure that fuel makes contact with the valve face.

the buttons are important. When Honda tried to change the volume up/down rotating button with a touch button, many people found it difficult to use and it was glitchy, so Honda went back to the old style rotating button which is just perfect.

Facts. Hondata dyno’d the 11th gen 1.5T and did find it had less power than the 10th gen version. The previous gen was getting ~180 whp and 200 hp at the crank. The 11th gen is seeing 164 whp and maybe 180 hp at the crank. I have no idea what Honda decided to nerf it, but the fact the same engine now runs on 87 octane may be the culprit. Maybe they figured their customers didn’t like paying for premium at the pump, so they detuned it.

that "it's not toilet on wheel" had me totally. I am still laughing on that part 🤣

When a 17 yr old driver failed to yield and did an illegal left turn from a parking lot right into my son’s 2014 Honda Crosstour on the main road, totaling it. The only car my son was interested in getting to replace it was the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport, since it looked exactly like his Crosstour, albeit 16 inches shorter lengthwise, an I4 instead of a V6, the same cargo space inexplicably, even more electric bells and whistles, and way better MPG.
