Just an FYI, understeer vs. oversteer on a FWD car has nothing to do with the car being independent rear suspension or not. It's actually primarily based on the relationship between front and rear roll stiffness, which is determined by the springs/sway bars. -High front roll stiffness will cause a car to understeer. -Relatively equal front and rear roll stiffness will make a car more neutral. -High rear roll stiffness will make the car oversteer. Most regular FWD cars are set up with high front roll stiffness to the factory to make the car "safely" understeer. This is why fitting a stiffer rear sway bar is such a common mod for people with FWD cars. It evens out the front and rear roll stiffness, making the car more neutral. Fit a stiff enough rear sway bar to this Civic and it will swing its tail around like a dachshund that's had its back legs replaced with wheels.

Ryan Hudson Yep, obviously there a lot of factors that affect handling balance, and alignment specs (particularly static and dynamic camber) certainly make a difference. When you start getting into cars with RWD, AWD, torque vectoring, ect. then you obviously add in a whole new laundry list of factors as well. For the regular FWD car though, front-rear roll stiffness is usually the biggie for determining handling balance.

Half way through owning the car I found out it was a Canadian model, something about being able to dim the dashboard lights that you couldn't do in the US models. Then soon afterwards the transmission craped out and the gears were slipping under hard acceleration... and yeah the understeer is very bad, and the body roll too! None the less, it was a great car.

He had me at "why should it understeer in the first place, im talking about the civic again"

Perhaps the most regular car review in Regular Car Reviews. Great video, as usual Mr. Regular!

It has understeer because the rear sway bar is absent on the LX trim level. The EX trims from this generation handle like you were expecting this LX to handle. Countering the cornering force (i.e. "roll" or "sway") with the rear axle lets the inner, front wheel put more force to the ground giving the front end more grip. This is why rear sway bars on FWD cars are so critical as well as stiff chassis (to transmit the action of the rear axle to the front). This also explains why torsion beam rear suspension on FWD cars allows for rotation (See: Focus and Fiesta) - the anti-sway action is built into the suspension geometry. However, torsion beam does sacrifice some fine-tune control which is why IRS w/ sway bar is still desirable - kinda like McPherson Strut vs Double Wishbone).

Loved it! Dr.Who, Dan, Harold, Mr.Regular you sure are great at these!

I own a 2001 Honda Civic LX. Tan on tan. Automatic. It was basically given to me, and as much as I appreciate it, when I drive it I get this overwhelming feeling that I've given up on life. There is no joy, only existence. If there is even a hint of joy before I get in to drive it, it gets eradicated when I sit uncomfortably in the tan cloth seats. It's THE most bland Civic ever produced, inside and out. It makes a Toyota Camry look sporty.

The turn of the century brought new safety and emissions standards so most lovable lightweight cars from the 90s turned to shit after 2000. Look at the Eclipse for example. Not that I hate the third and fourth gen Eclipses (I owned one) but the car took a completely different direction and they ended up basing it off the Galant. Sure it had about the same amount of power, but lack luster engines, sloppy suspension designed for comfort, and a sedan Chassis isn't exactly the recipe for the perfect sports car.

I currently own this car and I abuse the hell out of it. It's steering and handling is great as long as you're not mashing down the throttle in a corner.

This car makes me love my '94 Peugeot 205 1.1i even more: it usually under-steers when the road is wet, but on a certain rainy day, when going 70 km/h it decided to go from under-steer to over-steer. My years of playing racing games (and practicing in real-life snow) finally payed off: counter-steering and holding the throttle made me catch the slide.

Your videos are great I hope you get big

Much like my '98 Corolla, the Civic was designed to be a reliable people mover for non-enthusiasts. It's bland and boring, and that's by design---bland and boring appeals to alot of people. I only bought my Corolla because I had x amount of $$$$, and I needed something reliable right away (wanted a Celica). You made a good point in that vid, and the point is that reliability sells cars. The 18 year old kid's first car was an old Honda, and it was as reliable as a bank vault....a few years later, he's got a good job and more disposable income, and he remembers how reliable that Honda was---he buys a new one. I know a guy in his early 50's that has driven only Toyotas for the last 25 years....brand loyalty.

The accuracy of this review is uncanny. I had a white 99' LX. Super clean, tinted windows, lowered on coilovers. The coilovers killed a lot of the understeer and with the sporty tires I had it was hard to lose control. But stock, it would just push... Whatever, I have a Miata now! Track day, bro!

Awesome Video. My 2 cents on the 7th Gen Civic is that this was the best damn little car that I have driven for a person that did not know how to drive a car. Unlike my little Subie DL that I had in high school and college, this car was not fast off the line, nor would it break loose the front tires and push its way around the upside of a mountain road at 55 MPH (tires were clocking close to 75 mph), but it was predictable. It had slightly better than acceptable acceleration at highway speeds if you learned how to take advantage of the missing gate between D3 and D4 on the shifter (You didn't mention the missing gate between D3 and D4.) This had to be the best car for a person who does not know how to drive a car. And better than that, this is the best car for a person who does not aspire to be a better driver on the highway. It is an amazing piece of engineering and is really the ultimate "appliance" car.

Love it, as usual. Exactly how I see civics... it's a car for someone who needed a car. Especially in silver.

That was the first car I ever rode in. A 2000 or 2001 Honda Civic. That was the car that brought me home just after my birth. It had a manual transmission, manual windows and was in a dark green colour.W We had this car until 2008, when we bought a new Mitsubishi Outlander.

It truly is "The Car". In a manual; this generation - pound for pound, may be the best car ever. I own one. Look at the generations that followed.

Is that ending song "Eyes on Me?"

I just got a Hyundai Elantra advertisement comparing it's self to a Honda civic lx

My marimba had a lift kit and offroad tires for the football field! Thanks for the marching band shoutout Mr. Regular!

I LOVE this video, it is so spot on

FF8 closer made this video 11/10.

It's the car, for the person, who does the thing thing, some of the times, usually.

The song at the end really brings me back. It's the game I feel most nostalgic for.

I've gone from a 1989 Accord to a 7th gen Civic for grad school and I've come to love it. One of these days I would love to be an enthusiast but I just need something to get me through the next couple years.

You won't get a better handling car than a Honda Civic of this generation.

The ending is final fantasy 8 song "eyes on me." What the hell is that doing here

Ah, now this is the RCR I remember. Not that I didn't enjoy all the Lotus, Ferrari, and Challenger SRT videos, but this is REGULAR car reviews.

I bought a 2002 Civic LX coupe, 5-speed, loved it to death. It makes regular tooling around town to be as fun as can be.

Imho, a fwd car that oversteers(like you said the Fiesta does) is a bad thing for regular people. Catching oversteer on a fwd car is HARD for regular non-car-people. Now, please correct me if I'm wrong, but don't fwd cars usually violently swing back the other way because people overcorrect it(due to weight transfering from one side to the other), and then slam into the wall with even more force on the other side of the road. Whereas just letting it spin out without correcting usually results in the car staying on the road. When I had a fwd hatchback, I once nearly spun out in the snow, but corrected it. It then swung the other way much more suddenly than it did innitially. The only reason I managed to not crash, is because I decided to hold the accelerator down, so it pulled the front end out of that second slide.. But most people wouldn't do that, and then try to correct it again. I believe the Civic is meant to understeer because fwd understeer is much easier to catch according to manufacturers. You just let off the gas to get more weight on the front wheels, straighten the wheel *a bit* and then start steering again... At least that's what I've learned in an anti-skid program. Personally I drive an old Bmw E36, and even that car is alligned to understeer rather than oversteer. I spun that car in the rain once and just let it spin, because I knew my driving skills weren't good enough to catch it and I'd just end up in the ditch on the other side. By letting it go it stayed on the road and I had no damage, other than my ego..

Mythbuster Yeah, I agree, regular people WILL just hit the brakes! I've seen it in other cars and I've been in the car when people have done it. Most non drivers reaction to ANYTHING abnormal is to just hit the breaks! I'm always drilling into my wife that sometimes the gas pedal will get you OUT of bad situations! It's got me out PLENTY of times!

I miss my 2004 facelift 7th gen, 5sp manual... Thanks for the memories!

I never once complained about the weight of my baritone sax thank you. And god bless the drum line.

Drive a 6th gen Civic, or even better, a 5th gen, they handle so much better because they have Double-Wishbone suspension as opposed to to 7th gen+ with their Macpherson Struts

We have a 2014 Honda Civic that we bought in late 2013, it's a great car, 'nuff said. It is not a Lexus or a Cadillac, but it will get you from point A to point B while maintaining excellent fuel economy and superb reliability, it doesn't have luxury amenities, but it does the job. The Civic is what a car should be, basic transportation, nothing else.

Sorry but your view of a car is so simplistic. A car is or can be more than just basic transportation. It can be an emotional connection, a toy, a status symbol, a conversation starter, an extension of you. Obviously you are simplistic therefor you have a Honda Civic. LOL

***** I am not simplistic, I simply believe a car such as the Civic is simplistic, the Civic we own is actually the Touring model, top-of-the-line fully loaded with all the bells and whistles, I just think the Civic is car that carries out what it was made for, when Henry Ford made the Model T, he created it as a method of transportation to make horseback travelling obsolete, but times have changed and a car is no longer what it was, yet the Civic is a car that represents what an automobile was.
