I have the same exact same car. Couldn’t be any happier. Honda Dealers mark ups are a down side. I believe it’s the most expensive in its segment.

Love your videos! Got one a couple months ago the sport touring hatch and great for everyday errands!

I own a 2023 Civic Sport Touring, and my friend just bought a 2024 Corolla. I helped him choose, test drive, and everything. I would say: If you just want a daily commute car, Corolla is a very solid choice. It's very practical, it has a Hybrid engine and Toyota's Hybrid system is amazing. You cannot really go wrong with the Corolla. If you want a fun car, join Civic camp Civic is "a bit more" Corolla. It is a bit bigger (but not Camry yet), the Interior is better, it has more characteristics and is more fun to drive. Honda's handling is really good, it has great feedback and road response. I have been driving a Civic for more than a year and still love it and have fun every day. The sad part for Civic is: - It's more expensive than the Corolla - It doesn't have a Hybrid powertrain (yet)

Couldn't agree more but the few thousand pricier than Corolla justified by the sportier and mightier powertrain..classy interior and more spacious. P/S : I'm getting the hybrid Civic soon. Best of both worlds!

I’ve had 4 Corollas. Great for economy, scary when it comes to acceleration. I’m going Civic in this case.

Ya know, Joe, a new guy that I work with, has a black 23 Civic Sport. He was kind enough to let me sit in his for a little while to check it out. You know what was the first thing I asked? I said, "Can I turn your climate control knobs?" He asked why, and I said someone I know said they have such a good quality to them they sound like turning a dial on a Wells Fargo safe, and I had to see for myself. Lol. I know it sounded weird. Trust me. 😅 You know Joe, it certainly is Wells Fargo safe approved 👍🏻, and it's very roomy on the inside. That was my first time in a new gen Civic. 5/5 🌟

Agreed on the ventilated seats. It's not like Honda doesn't have the tech, it's available on the Accord. Hyundai/Kia and Toyota offer them on a bunch of models and most domestics from Ford and Chevrolet do too. I would guess Mazda will probably start offering them on more models in the future as they go more upscale too. Not a big ask for Honda to offer them as an option on the Civic.

Cannot go wrong with Civic 💪

Honda really nailed ergonomics in this generation. I like having big buttons and knobs. Some cars are moving towards putting far too many controls in touch screens or via haptic buttons. Honda keeps it simple and easy.

I don't know which one I like better. However, I think the Civic Sedan looks more like an Accord than a Civic. I prefer the more aggressive styling of the outgoing model, and am disappointed they toned down the styling. Why they made 2 models so similar idk. Still not a bad looking car, but a downgrade styling wise imo.

I got the 2024 Honda Civic Sport and love it. So glad I traded in my 2019 Hyundai Elantra sport it was in the service department more then I had it 🤣

21 сағат бұрын

Except Touring doesn't offer a quieter cabin. It is one of the noisiest cars on the road. The so called "insulation" on the touring is paper thin. None of the competitors at this price range are as noisy as the Honda

I own a 2022 Honda civic touring red since New and love it.

To be honest for 32k it doesn’t have that many options like memory seats and back buckets, it’s a a lot of money!

For $32k I'm perfectly OK with a standard sunroof. That's a lot better than a Ford F-250 Lariat that costs $82000, and has NO sunroof. Just a lil something to put into perspective.

I looked at several Civics but ended up buying an Acura Integra A Spec trim and have no regrets.

Hello, is the base Integra CVT a better car here? Ride, fit and finish, handling?

Ok so I have 2023 sport and I would love the touring but with the sport wheels because I love them

Toyota mostly beats Honda in pretty much every car these days, but in the compact sedan segment, the Civic beats the Corolla imo

In my opinion the interior door material and designs of my 10th gen rival the 11th gen, middle leather section is dressed up with after stitching, carbon fibre looking trim instead of gloss black, but everything else is a step up for sure

Joe, you say the one vehicle in the class that doesnt have the CVT is the Jetta. Are you overlooking the Mazda 3?

Wrong info on the Sport wheels. They're 18 also. C'MON Raiti!

Love ya Steven love the Honda

I really like the overall look of those civics Joe. They just don’t spare the horsepower I’d be looking for.

Joe, Any idea when the newly redesigned 2025 Civic will be released? I know they typically come out atleast a few months before the new year.

I have the sport touring Hatchback 6speed. I love it. ALTHOUGH, i changed out the turn signal bulbs to LED, had to take off the whole assembly, and go figure, they broke from taking them off, they split open at the seam, plastic feels very very thin and fragile, and now i have condensation iside! So annoyed because the dealer wants $300 for each. Well, other than that, the car is great. Tons of space for the kids along with trunk space.

Great video but incorrect on the wheels. Both Sport and Touring trims have 18” wheels. Only difference is Sport is painted black aluminum alloy and Touring has machine faced dual tone aluminum alloy. Overall great review!

My money is going civic. Hondas fwd system dominates in this class. Behind the wheel they’re fun to drive and handle well

Sport comes with 18” wheels also. The difference is the sport are gloss black

Looking at the Honda website, and I don’t see a Civic with 19 inch wheels. Both sport and touring models have 18 inch wheels.

YES! No doubt.

I drove civic and corolla but ended up LE hybrid base model, cracks me up small stuff they take out to make it as cheap as possible

Just got rid of my 2022 sport with the 2.0. CVT Transmission was already having issues, steering was sticking as well, oil leaks, etc. And barely 20k miles too, won’t be buying Honda anytime soon again.

Waiting to see the Civic hybrid.

Just put my daughter's name on a 24 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback (to be built in Apr 2024) not with the CVT but with the 6MT ... with the upcoming Civic hybrids in '25 this might be the last iteration of the 6MT (exc for the TYPE-R if Honda continues it?) ... Thanks Keith Chicago IL

The civic is so nice!!

The sport touring are 18” wheels not 19”…..still great review Joe! A little disappointed at the 32,000 price tag ….for a Civic!!!! OUCH. I wanted this to be my next car but there will be some heavy negotiation going on or I will walk. Prices are crazy !!!!

I am liking this Honda. I think they did a brilliant job on this particular model. Still not sure about these simulated shifts, but I am starting to accept the CVT for these eco cars. Another spot on review Mr. Raitti. 💙✌️😊

I bought this car at the beginning of the year. I am extremely impressed by the 1.5t and CVT. It has convinced me that small turbocharged engines and CVT's are not the enemy! Lol. No but in all seriousness, it behaves so seamlessly and unobtrusively without any of the odd behavior that might have been present in CVT's 10 yrs ago. I do not feel any hesitation or delay. The same CANNOT be said for the 2.4/DCT combo I am also familiar with from Acura! There was often a lag when trying to accelerate quickly, ie merging on the highway. Only issue so far is MPG not quite what it's supposed to be. Hopefully I just need to drive it a bit more??
