Ok review, I've had my RS Hatch for three years and still flippin love it. Still looks great and stands out in the crowd for better or for worse.

Fantastic review. The break down of every section was simple and convenient. Good job👍👍👍

@@chasingcars I have a question does the VTi-L. Come with all of the safety equipment that you mentioned in the video.

Great Review

Great video brother. Weird question I was thinking is it possible to mod the car with a cutback exhaust system and other mods in general I have been searching up the modded version of this and I haven't seen them anywhere or any places that offer such services.

Good review. Recently, before the current situation grounded me, I had a 1500km road trip in a 2020 Honda Civic in Thailand. This was a basic poorly optioned Hertz hire car. My first time in a Civic. For the 1st 700km I was joined by 3 adults and an 8 year old for a 6.5 hour blast out of Bangkok to Issan province. Those in the rear seat loved the comfort and space in car. As a driver I was very impressed with the performance and comfort also. Its an easy car to drive on all sorts of various rural roads and traffic jams in Bangkok. I really liked it. The looks are okay but it may not age well. As you mentioned, the build quality was not up to par with some of competition and the cheap scratchy plastics became a real annoyance after a couple of days. Would I buy one? Maybe.

man..I bought the pre-facelift version 2 years ago. Why didn't they just release this version to begin with?

Car seems ok. Great detailed review. More please.

In the nineties, Hondas were looked upon as heading 'up market' going on 'special'. Seems they've dropped off, especially their cars. Also. Honda's Australian future is said to be in doubt. Any ideas?

Yep. Tom here. In the nineties my parents owned a succession of Hondas - Integras, Civics, Accords, and loved them. I think some of that passion is still there but the brand and product needs to be rebuilt here in Australia. Japanese production would be a good start. I don’t think they’re going to leave Australia, but I do think they might go to an independent distributor arrangement, like Subaru. -TB

Honda may be leaving Australia by the end of the month or close some dealerships or pass it over to a car importer. So I would hold off buying one until Honda confirms what they are do.

@chasingcars

4 жыл бұрын

To clarify, Honda is announcing its intentions soon. It won't be leaving Australia by the end of the month, which is way too soon a timeframe. In our view the much more likely outcome will be a downscaling of the dealer network while they consider whether to continue factory importing or switching to a distributor. But yes, I'd hold off until we hear more from management on their view of the market.

@MrRez808

Chasing Cars sorry should of clarified only making the announcement at the end of march. Even if they don’t leave but shrink the dealer network or palming it of to an importer. I would recommend extreme caution before buying a Honda for the foreseeable future.

Comparing the infotainment to a car that hasn't yet reached our market seems pretty unfair.

Great review. This car used to get decent reviews (from other sites) a couple of years ago. Has the game moved on or was the car a bit overrated at the time? On a test drive I thought it was OK but unremarkable. Cars like the i30 and the Astra were more fun to drive and the i30 was in a much higher class of quality. Honda continues to disappoint with their passenger cars. I'd sooner have an old Accord Euro than a new Civic.

Good review but the RS is screaming for a manual transmission like they get in the states. I”d seriously consider one if that ever happens.

This is what I wondered. I remember driving a hatchback version of the previous model and noticed some details that were way less than they were in my own Civic, which was the station and build in the US. The hatchback was build in the UK. After I did some checking, it turned out that the UK build cars were just simply worse. I wonder how this can be. Doesn't Honda design the production infrastructure to be of the same quality? Or maybe because of bad management/quality control in the factory the quality isn't on par? Stuff mentioned in the video like creaking plastics are not ok. Not sure what the car costs in Australia, but in my country (Netherlands) it's somewhere in the high 30K, low 40K (Euro's).
