Alex, i like how you show the size of the vehicle as it relates to its competitors. Nice touch. Very informative.

I want to thank you for the video. This review is very focused and relevant for the would-be buyer.

In other youtube videos, it feels like you've been overloaded with information but without really learning anything. This vid is good! Liked and subscribed.

Great very thorough review. I recently bought the EX-L hatch after having the previous generation. Upgrades to this generation are significant and still a value, given all compact cars have gone up in price over the past couple of years. Best option available in this category.

Journalists keep saying the Civic is one of the best things you can get under $30,000... but you can't actually get one under $30k. Dealers are adding $3,000 and $4,000 mark ups meaning that Sport Tourings are going $38k with taxes and fees! Obscene!

I got a grey 2022 Civic Sport Touring with the 6 spd manual used with only 4500 miles. Got a great deal on it back in May and don’t have any complaints and many compliments about this car. Plenty of room, nice leather seats, great stereo, nice sunroof, beautiful interior. The engine is great as welll as the shifter and clutch, handles great, love the adaptive cruise control, and no less than 35-40 mpg! No complaints at all.

While I didn't mind the look of the outgoing hatch, I prefer the look of this gen more. The outgoing got a little busy in the looks department at times for me. This one has a premium, understated look to it.

I agree I think an Si drive train with a automatic would have been an easy option to offer hatch enthusiasts.

This generation of Civic is _far_ better looking than the grotesque previous one.

Alex, I took a few moments to transcribe your thoughtful comments about Mazda's Torture Beam Rear Suspension® 21:38 "Mazda kinda cheaped out there and they did not give it a full independent rear suspension. I think that's a real bummer in the Mazda 3 and it is noticeable when you're driving out on regular roads."

I like that Honda still have a spare wheel.... even though it is a 'spacesaver' restricted to 50mph.

IMO, this is how the 10th gen Accord should have been styled from the beginning. They missed an opportunity to do it with the lift back esque design they did in 2018. It would have been the most practical in its segment. Or the only one. You mentioned the HR-V in the beginning. It's now common knowledge that the 2023 model (for North America) will be based on this civic and not the Fit like the last generation. So there's a possibility that the new HR-V will get the same engines as the Civic, but with CVT only. The HR-V will also become more practical as a result.

Honda knows how to make a fun driving car

I see one thing that I like on the spot touring model is the homelink garage door opener. Something that vw doesn't have on the gti. I like the homelink because you can easily program it to open more than one door and i don't like having a garage door opener clipped on to the viser. Also, think about it, that garage door opener is practically a key to your house. With the homelink, it's inactive without the car being on. My nissan altima has a homelink and I have it programmed for my garage and when I go to my mom's apartment building I have the homelink programmed for her building to. Park in one of the empty spots, visit mom and I don't even have to step outside. I would need to have another garage door opener clipped to my visor too. Homelink, Alex should be pointing that out.

Was pretty set on this but might wait to see what the new HRV is like. More cargo practicality would be a nice to have along with AWD. Not a huge fan of the styling of the new HRV, but if it gets the 1.5T, I may overlook the design. Great video!

I wish these were the actual prices. The Sport Touring are $35,500 here. I wish i could get the Bose radio without having to get the top trim. I don’t care about all the extra tech cuz I’ll probably never use it. I’d love another VW but my last was too expensive to work on and needed work too often. I’m at a lose right now of what to get. If i could afford it I’d get the new Integra as it’s basically a sexier Civic hatch with a better stereo

Pros> The engine is adequate, the cargo space is the sell ++, inside Nice. Negatives> (for me) the digital gauges, the center "headrest" on the rear seat, "NO" Deep Blue Sea paint option. Price is very good for the features, but of course I want the manual "if" I can find one? 🏹🤠👍

Great review. But you completely brushed over the benefits of the 2.0 over the 1.5T and that being long term reliability. All direct injection engines are inherently more complicated and designed that way solely for emissions and they all have carbon buildup issues to some degree. The addition of a turbo will also increase your odds of problems in the long term. The Civic LX with the 2.0, 6MT is my choice for the long term. It has less worry some 16" wheels and is 200lbs lighter than the Civic Touring CVT and with the 6MT will be more fun and engaging to drive.

You can get A3,A4 and Audi A6 in FWD in Europe

They should have put a Prelude badge on it and left the civic name alone.

Real buttons and knobs on the dash (and steering wheel). Yea!

Alex, can you touch on driver visibility? Modern cars tend to have slit -like windows. Not to mention rear blind spots.

This car is awesome but personally I would have much more preferred if it was a proper hatchback like a golf or Corolla or even a station wagon

🤢 Nah, the lift back is much sexier than a boxy hatch

no one buy boxy 2 door. not going to happen ever. 4 door is more practical and more buyer. wagon is also dead in america. not going to happen.

The front is fine. The side profile is not to my taste. I'd much prefer a more horizontal rear roof line, like the VW GTI.

A real hatchback is so much better than a liftback.

This thing is pretty hideous looking.

It’s the new integra!!!

How did you get such a fast 0-60 time? All the magazines are getting mid to high 7 seconds.

I have been looking for a hatch touring model with a manual and they are hard to find. (I would have considered the sedan Civic SI but they don't offer heated seats anymore in the US (but do in Canada)). I may wait for the Integra since I understand the majority of them will be offered with a manual.

I had a 20 si and sold it, big mistake so I got a 23 hatch sport 6mt ,the styling is alot more conservative and the interior and drive quality are amazing realitive to the 20 I won't comment on power because I didn't get a si

"A bit ...too grown up" ?? Hello? Honda has never been about shouting, "Hey.... look at me". I enjoy Honda's sub-duded and clean styling

You do quite simply the most detailed, balanced and objective reviews of anyone. Well done and thank you!

Another one lost to the CVT!

Very nice hybrid review/comparo video. Liked and subscribed!

The best review I’ve been waiting for. So detailed and honest. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥

I’ve now seen many of these Civics on the road, and it is one of the few cars that look better in videos and pics, than in person. But still, is more attractive than the more expensive Accord.

The 2022 civic looks definitely looks better in person. the accord definitely still has the advantage in looks, especially in the front

I am surprised 73 dB at 50 mph got it a score of A even when compared to similar cars.

Hatchbacks are just better, period.

Nice overall package but i absolutely refuse to buy anything with a CVT. Why can’t they just throw a 8 speed automatic in this ?

CVT is better than what you may realise man

I watched the video because you posted it Alex…. But I gotta say, not a huge fan of the Civic Hatch. It’s just too big. I think I’m over Honda’s obsession with trying to be the masters of packaging. Golf GTI or MAZDA3 Hatch for me. I suppose if your commute includes runs to IKEA 5 days a week you can get the Civic Hatch….. then again you could just get something even more practical, like a CR-V.

I don’t believe you can say a Civic is affordable anymore when a standard Civic is now listed at 27k on a dealers lot. In 2004 I paid 14k for a Civic. Should the price really have doubled in 18 years?

6.6sec to 60mph? I think that's faster than a new Si.... Alex did you mean 7.6sec??

I feel like he always overestimate 0-60 time, when redline tested 7.5 seconds for a car, he seems to tested at .5 to 1 second faster. That’s the case for other cars too.

@markmiller3279

It's on the fast side, but I've seen other tests around 7 seconds, which I believe is what Honda is claiming. Even that is more than quick enough for normal driving.

@@markmiller3279 he even said that the Si is faster than hatchback, but in reality, the fastest 0-60 si can do is 7 seconds, and he claims hatchback is 6.6 seconds, which doesn’t make sense.

Excellent design much better than last Gen which was runt of the litter. Give it a HUD and 360 degree camera system and a redo of the turbo to eliminate fears of oil dilution and carbon build up on intake valves. Great review!

Awesome car Awesome review again

Very nice! I wish the seats were better. Good for Honda for sticking with sedans. Another great AoA review!

Thanks for the review. it was informative.
