I think Honda did a good job with design, both interior and exterior. But they kept more American consumers in mind than customers elsewhere. Still a good car with 270cm of axle span which is awesome. Dashboard design is way ahead of competitors. It is definitely on my shortlist.

Great review, love this new Civic and will be trading my 2013 Hatch on this new 10th gen when it arrives in New Zealand later this year. The 1.5 turbo saloon drives brilliantly, strong gutsy engine combined with excellent road manners. I love the design and agree with previous comments, offensive is far better than dull and boring, this car is no way boring and because it's a Honda and Japanese, it'll be bullet proof. looking for a drive in the type R too. Welcome back Honda.

For me, it's amazing to see and hear the different views and interpretations for the same cars and models, by professional different viewers from the USA, UK, and Europe... totally different conclusions for the same exact cars!

Improving more and more with every video Matt, keep it up!

The new parcel shelf is a fantastic design! It can even swap sides for left handed people.

It's not like a Mazda 3, but the look grows on you in a properly good way and it's fairly distinctive enough to set it apart from the competition. Like the wide aggressive stance and the rear ^fake air vent ( at least ) has a design continuity with the front. Prefer the cabin of these Honda over the Mazda.

I personally love the design . But then I'm biased because I've had 2 Civics and rolled off the Swindon assembly line in 1962 myself.

My brother and his wife have a 2017? Honda. Base model. They had a hyundai elantra 4 door before and had to get the struts replaced 4x within 3 years because they are quite overweight lol. Before the warranty ended he bought the used Honda. 4? Years and lots more driving and he hasn't had anything replaced. I'm impressed with this fact alone! My buddy also drives his cvt Honda like it's a standard hammers the throttle ans brakes hard (makes u carsick) and I'm 4 years never had to replace anything except brakes. Incredible!

No I like the flashy styling-only get the manual. I rarely carry passengers so I'm not worried about rear headroom at all. Clever car. Like the Madras hot curry version!

is this good for general long term use in urban environment and for uber? i was going to get prius but i don't like the design.

the front I could deal with but what ever happened to the back? looks like a wreck lol.

I think after they've seen they got the front right , the Honda designers went for a drink to celebrate , accidentaly got themselves completely shot , and then in the middle of the party remembered they need to do the rear too.

I love the trunk divider solution. Hats off to Honda. Simple and elegant. I've got a vw golf mk 7 and it still uses this crappy paperboard divider which is just plain embarrassing.

I am happy to have bought a 2016 Civic which would be the first year of the 10th gen model you are reviewing. (Granted mine is a sedan and not a hatchback) Here in Canada we don't have the 3cyl 1.0 Turbo. Base engine is a 2.0 NA K20C2 which is what I got as in 2016 it was the only option that came paired with the 6 speed manual. We also have the 1.5 Turbo. All in all, I love my civic and I am happy it's a Naturally Aspirated 2.0 with a 6 speed. I guess I am just oldschool and I feel that's the most retro I can get my civic to be. The engine sound is also excellent. Small note, the K20C2 of my civic has nothing to do with older K20's or the K20C1 which is the turbo version from the TypeR. K20C2 is intended for fuel efficiency and reliability. It's apparently been a bit de-tuned by Honda, from what I read the only mod you can do is a "KTune" which will add more responsiveness, lower Vtech start from the pointless 6300RPM to 5300RPM and according to people's dyno runs, an extra 20 ish Horsepower. Tune is also necessary if you upgrade your intake and exhaust.

I'm not sure which end of this new Civic is the most ugly.

the front of the car is beautiful but the rear is hideous...but again, I think the Gen 6 Civic was the best

I like it. Particularly the three exhaust pipe thing

It looks amazing on the road. I just saw one in Toronto
