This is the best Chanel ever, I’ve least my last 2 civics and will be looking at the 2022 hatch (first for me). I always check this channel prior to heading to a Honda dealership lol. Been a fan for over 5+ years.

It’s a town so nice, they named it twice. 😂

I loved Washington state! I was stationed at the Naval hospital in Bremerton and loved every minute. The Civic is flawless.

Great video. My beef is with the car manufacturers who almost exclusively provide only top-line models for review, save for the walk-arounds done by local dealers. I love some of the bells and whistles - waiting for the Civic hatch, and also looking at Mazda3 hatch - but they add approx $1,000 worth of extras that add $6,000 to the retail price. Isn't it ever thus? I'd love these extras - especially the sunroofs - but they're really hard to justify when you're tooling along at 55MPH on urban/suburban roads and freeways most of the time. I hope the mfrs see this comment and consider making either base models, or models one up from the base, available for review. This is where most of the sales are anyway. If you do get a hatch for review, compare the cargo space to the HR-V. In watching the Mazda3 reviews, I noted that there is more cargo space in a Mazda3 hatch than in a CX-30.

Nice review. This new Civic is a step in the right direction. (I would call it more of a correction previous generation.). A lot of people called the styling bland, but to me, the last generation looked like it was designed for for an eight-year-old in the toy aisle. Some people like that "Transformer movie" look, not me. This car actually looks like it can compete against the Mazda 3.

Hats off to your wife for putting up with stopping to get rolling footage and with your general shenanigans required for a working vacay. I am really keen on the new Civic. My wife loved her 2007 Civic EX and I regret pushing her into trading it for a Buick Encore (don't recommend it). This new 11th gen is very appealing, but I also like the Insight which is basically a Civic Hybrid. As for vehicle name palindromes, the VW CC might qualify if it were still being made today, though CC isn't a word.

About the pricing... Honda doesn't do cash on the hood, so you're actually going to pay $29,XXX for this Civic. Once prices return to a pre-supply shortage normal, there will be plenty of discounts on competitors that will lesson the "good deal" green-light on the Civic. That being said, even if it will not be best-deal-in-class, we've had 3 Civics in our family and would gladly put one on our test drive list if we were currently in the market.

Tom, an outstanding review, to be sure. I'm really looking forward to a similar one for the new Civic hatchback as soon as possible. Was interested in the image of the instrument panel showing the tach and speedo -- you were driving about 70 - 72 mph and the tach showed slightly over 2000 rpms. Curious, were you driving up hill at the time. With the final drive ratio (3.24) and the highest transmission ratio (.405), the engine should have been turning between 1200 - 1250 rpm all things being equal. It must have been under load; the 1.5L motor goes "on boast" at about 2000 rpm, so this may well account for the less than stellar highway mileage. Like most turbos, once they go on boast, they become very thirsty very quickly.

At first I thought the new Civic was rather plain. But it's grown on me. I think they'll probably lose some of the younger buyers who were drawn to the 10th Gen's styling, but gain older ones who wanted a more straight-forward car. Tom, I'd like to see some outtakes from you doing the split screen with yourself. Certainly there's gotta be some fun stuff there.

This really is the best car review I've seen. You've balanced the review with personality and other entertaining qualities like learning about Walla Walla.

Heated steering wheel is standard on the Touring trim (and maybe lower trims) in Canada if anyone’s wondering.

Tom, your pacing is consistently superb. You focus on the majors --- changes, comparison, performance, ergonomics --- and you breeze by the minors --- style, fit and finish--- without neglecting them. Throw in a little culture without forgetting the mission, sprinkle it with a little whimsy, and give us our vocabulary word for the day --- who the hell else has ever used "palindrome" in a car review? --- and you have a winner, the current standard for entertaining, but not preening or droning, car reviews. There's not a better one-man-band out there, for sure. I like the guys at Throttle House, TFL earns its keep, Sarah -n- Tuned is her bitchin' self, and Ryan over at KBB is a standout. But you, Tom, just hit the sweet spot for delivering good information with an authoritative voice that doesn't intimidate, and without the peacock feathers and the pissing contests. Thanks for leading the way. And the Civic? I dunno. Pushing $30K seems a little rich for a competent compact. I have a 2012. I love the new, more mature look --- not that I slighted the boy-racer styling of the previous gen --- but I'll never buy a vehicle with a CVT or a tablet sticking out of the dash. That's just the ugliest interior trend of the last forty years. And everybody's doing it now, for some reason. Is it a mandate amongst a cabal of auto manufacturing executives at Bohemian Grove? Who are they copying? Who started this? My bet is Apple. Ugh.

Like an Accord size. I love what this Civic does. Will I get the involvement like a Mazda, or VW? Corolla is not out either. Not a jacked up wagon for a change is nice. What great trip for 2. Maybe 4. Going fast isn't always the deal. Get there and feeling good is more important than fast. Happy people and comfort are nice. Civic is all the good. I would get one.

OMG! Los Hernandez tamales! The very, very best. (This from a former Texan.) It's worth a road trip from Seattle to Union Gap (near Yakima) just for lunch. In fact, I've long maintained that the best 300 miles of interstate in the US is I-90 from Seattle to Spokane. The scenery changes so radically and quickly that a 4+ hour trip is never boring. Over the Cascades to the "dry side" of the state. Take in the little town of Cle Elum if you're a fan of "Northern Exposure". Across the mighty Columbia and put on some Woody Guthrie ("Roll on Columbia")for background music. The best wide spot in the road is George, Washington, the home of the Martha Inn. A gorgeous concert venue sits atop the cliffs over the Columbia if you're travelling in the summer. On to toward Spokane where gigantic rock formations along the road were once at the bottom of a gigantic lake. Take an alternate route back from Spokane by heading south on US 195 to the Palouse, where wheat grows on hills the size of mountains. Head west at Lewiston (named for Merriweather of Lewis and Clark fame) with a stop in Pullman, home of WSU, and pick up a large tin of Cougar Gold cheddar developed in WWII for soldiers to have cheese that remained fresh without refrigeration for a millennia or two. Then west on US 12 toward Walla Walla. Once a sleepy little town with nothing much to distinguish it, the Washington wine industry has turned it into a mini-Napa Valley tourist attraction surrounded by soil and climate that matches the grape growing regions of France. If wine tasting is your thing, stop and get a hotel room to sleep it off. The wine fueled renaissance in Walla Walla offers some attractive choices. Head west again and pick up I-82 in the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland) where the Yakima, Snake, and Columbia rivers converge and near the Hanford site where fuel for the first atomic bombs was processed. Then on to Yakima with a stop at Union Gap for tamales. I-82 will take you to I-90 at Ellensburg or you can take a more interesting route on US 12 west over the Cascades south of Mt. Rainier toward I-5 or turn north on Washington highway 123 to see that gorgeous mountain up close and personal. Either way you'll eventually find yourself back in the Seattle Tacoma metro area. Take 4 or 5 days and you won't regret either the roads or the sights. Oh yeah. A Honda Civic would be a good choice for the journey. Personally, though, I prefer my GTI. My dog agrees based on the rear seat HVAC in the VW. 😁

I mean, it seems perfectly timed so you can take both hands of the wheel, hold the sandwich with both hands, safely take a bite without the risk of big mess involved with one hand sandwich biting, continue holding the sandwich with one hand and the other goes back to the wheel perfectly timed before the warning.

Three weeks ago we were shopping between 2022 Civic EX and 2021 Hyundai Sonata SEL. It matches feature-to-feature but we end up getting the Sonata SEL. Reasons: * Due to car shortage worldwide, Honda markup their price by almost $2K above MSRP for the 2022 models while our nearest Hyundai dealership is having a sale event. I get a lower monthly payment on the Sonata SEL. Albeit only around $20/month for 60 months. * My wife thinks that the Sonata has a better rear-view and has a more spacious interior. * I actually think the Sonata is lighter to drive due to the larger engine displacement (I think) and the punch from the 2.5L engine when floored is livelier. * Personally I think the Sonata interior is crossing that of luxury cars. * The Lane following assist could go on for miles without asking you to touch the wheel. Almost like Tesla Autopilot.

Just bought one today. Got the EX. Not a leather fan, but would've liked some of the Touring features. Great car.

Within the first month of ownership the entire engine cover came off on the freeway. Then another piece came off 1 month later. Both fixed at dealership on separate occasions. The air flow lighting has never worked or lit up. I thought that was just the way it was. I was wrong. Taking that to get fixed. Dashboard makes cracking noises when going over bumps. Electric seats make creaking noises when moving. Audio cuts in and out constantly and navigation screen gets blurry and freezes. Averaging 27mpg constantly no matter how I drive. I just don’t understand what’s going on. I have a 2003 Honda Civic with 400,000 miles. I’ve never had issues with that car like this 2022 touring.

I checked the dimensions, and this Civic is about the same size, inside and out, as the 7th-gen Accord (2003-2007). And my 07 Accord is just about the right size for me. This is definitely on my shopping list in the next year or so, assuming I'm in a position to get a new car then.

I think my sport gen 10 is my last civic, yep I think it's styling as gone.i had a good friend that lives in wolla wolla who came over here for a two month stay in the UK.

The Insight is basically a hybrid Civic.

Much improved interior from the 2010 Civic; suspect their accounting dept. had designed that one, which moved us over to Mazda. Such efficiency, TV! Thorough review in only a quarter of an hour! Cute but sad ending.

06:56 Wait, so according to this you traveled 183.8 miles with 40 miles remaining with 36.4mpg? How small is this gas tank?

Lets be honest this Civic could be called an Accord 10 years ago. LOL much like the 3 series being a 5 of the same time. So what do you do if you want a true Civic? I guess they dont make that anymore. Seriously they got rid of the Fit and that was not a true sedan. Gotta go to a Kia Rio i guess.

Isn't that a little small? How 'bout a Forte or Elantra?

Who drives a fit? That’s too small of a car you can’t have no passengers but grocery

Wow no rear vents, that's a critical omission IMO.

I agree. It's usually an advantage left for FWD cars and I was hoping it would be one of the modernizations this generation would make besides blind-spot monitoring

You get heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel if you get a Canadian version…guess they don’t think it’s cold up here in the northern states😅 also pretty sure the touring civic and sport touring hatchback have sound dampening which no lesser trim get…the real price is a 3-5k markup on MSRP now which dealers call “Adjusted Market Value”

I'll stay with my '15 Civic lx that I've had for 2 yrs now. Simple, not as many bells to go wrong and 41 mpg highway.

I have the same year Civic, but SE. It has been working fine so far, 6 years old. I am not sure what to buy so I will keep it for a while.

Very refreshing and enjoyable, have subscribed. Keep it up 👍🏽

loved this. A road trip review

I bought a new Honda Civic in 2003. Its engine was so tightly built it took almost 10,000 miles to reach the EPA MPG rating. I noticed that your review unit only had 1,100 miles, so its fuel efficiency should improve as the engine gets some wear.

… and I was going to comment on that but it’s a detail I didn’t follow up on.

Good to hear that the advanced safety features are decent. The emergency braking and lange keel assist in my parent’s Accord are terrifying

You can actually turn them off if you don't like them.

Hi Tom love the car reviews. First time here. I'd like to see a review of the Civic Touring Hatchback once available since it does have better handling and sportiness. Also when available, a review of the new Toyota GR86 would be great! Keep up the awesome reviews.

Going to the 86 event in August so there's that.

If only Mrs. Voelk participated in the video as it's a road trip video. At least she helped you with the rolling shots 😂

Great review as always! I actually enjoyed the moment of zen at 11:02

@@DrivenCarReviews Thanks. 'Wondered about that!

Honda makes some of the best CVTs in the market.

Very entertaining and informative review. You are the best, Tom!

Well done, Sir. Civic is the one to beat for the 2022 model years.

I had a new Civic (UK), back in 1990. That thing looks huge in comparison

I just wish they offered a wagon version with SH-AWD. They need to offer an alternative to the utility of an SUV if they want to pull buyers away from that market share. Remember when Civics had 4 body styles? That was cool. I owned the original CRX and loved it!

The closest you're going to get to that is CR-V. The product planners do the research. Americans don't want wagons.

@@DrivenCarReviews Yeah, I understand that but it's depressing all the same. No manufacturer is willing to offer up models for niche buyers such as myself. It's incredible that cars like the Miata still exist. However, with platform modularity being as cost-effective as it is, you'd think they would give wagon body styles a try. Ever since the Alltrack was discontinued, all that's left is the Outback and 50k-80k alternatives. If I had 110k to burn I would wait in line for the Audi RS6. Love your channel by the way!
