- The ALL NEW Civic Hatchback is ready to be DRIVEN and Honda wants it to be a home run. Under the hood is a 1.5L turbocharged inline-4 that produces 180HP & is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. On the outside you will discover LED headlights, optional 18in wheels, new sheet metal and dual exhaust. On the inside you will be greeted to leather seating, 9in infotainment system, and digital gauge cluster. Is the 2022 Honda Civic Hatchback a BETTER compact car than a Toyota Corolla ?

3 channels just dropped this video of the new Honda….But only yours matters bro haha!!
Dude that means the world! THANK YOU LIONEL!
Facts
(Say it louder) only yours matter!!
@@Dis2good thanks man!
@@TroLLsNeedThrpy you are so awesome!
Honda should compensate you for this incredible review. Your honesty, enthusiasm and sense of humor make your reviews essential viewing!
compensate? thats called a bribe
@@sanynava9160 more of a sponsorship!
Guess Toyota should do the opposite and fine him then, correct?
@@TraceguyRune Yes
haven't you noticed that RUclips "influencers" are positive about everything? where are the real comparisons and rankings? they don't exist, do they? all auto "journalism" has always had a problematic relationship with industry - if they aren't sufficiently positive they end up having nothing to review - they get invited to review things because manufacturers can expect a largely positive response
12:20 "It's not going to poke you in the junk and maybe stop you from ever having kids. Maybe some of you shouldn't have kids, I don't know" 😂 🤣 Joe Raiti at his finest!!!
Thanks for letting me bring the cars and the laughs with you!
LOOOOL that made my day
Joe is upping the sass and I’m here for it lol
Joe, that new civic hatchback is beautiful. I love the new wheels and the hatchback is very practical !
I’m so glad that you are liking this one!
@@RaitisRides I'm watching it now Joe
@@richroggio freaking awesome Rich!
Nice to see Joe enjoy what the Civic was made for, relatively inexpensive fun. Good smiles per gallon.
It really is a good bang for the buck!
smiles per gallon, love it!
@@EconBobWong so very true!
Honda and Acura need a inexpensive reliable fun coupe, not for huge sale numbers but for their small but loyal coupe enthusiasts, with a manual available.
They have 0 in their line up, almost all of their competitors like Toyota, Mazda, have one or two, or at least a slightly higher price coupe, Lexus, Nissan, Toyota, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Subaru, etc.
Again not for huge sales numbers but for loyal customers in smaller numbers with some unique non sedan features and a little better handling and power, no need yo make it smaller or take away cargo space and back seat room, if engineered good, they could even put a second passenger side door on it, aka, Hyundai.
@@Tigerex966 that’d be nice but they probably aren’t. It sucks because they killed the Integra/RSX coupe hatch.
“if you have the 9 inches, use the 9 inches” Couldn’t agree more sir
That's what "she said" , I mean he "said"
oh man. now im super sad. lol
I wish I had 9 inches…that’s a nice screen
@@davidvelasco1112 Visit your local jail.
I was thinking of upgrading my 2013 model to a touring 2022 Civic but seeing the Sport Touring I may jump to that version instead, just for that extra hatchback space.
Great review!
Thanks for letting me bring it to you!
@Get To The Point Already with the rear seats folded down, sure the hatchback offers more utility. But if you have kids back there and can't fold the seats, the sedan offers a significantly bigger trunk.
I’m here for the expressive hand gestures! Good presentation as always.
Jazz hands! LOL
Joe!! Always loving the energy you give off in these videos. Keep up the awesome content👌
That really means so much Kevin! Thanks for being the best!
I like the new design of the Civic Hatch Back, much more than the Sedan. I definitely would consider this model and trim level. Thanks for sharing Joe.
I am right there with you Rodney! I’m glad I can bring it to you!
@@RaitisRides Joe, big fan of your channel, I've been watching your videos for a year trying to decide on a new car. I was lucky enough to drive a boost blue pearl 2022 civic touring this past weekend at the Chattanooga Tennessee dealership. The color is beautiful in person (it's so blue lol) and the car drives great. My wife and I are Honda people, she has the blue 2018 accord sport, we were in the new civic for 30 seconds pulling out of the lot and she said "yep it's a Honda". Unfortunately the dealership had included $2,400 in add-ons I don't want and with tax tag and title their total was $36,000.
Anyway can't wait to watch your video when I get home from work to see what you thought about car.
I'm either going to have an Atlanta area dealer order me one without all the extra fluff in a few weeks in that beautiful boost blue pearl color or just keep waiting until the SI comes out, not sure.
It's a manual, it's a hatchback, and it's more spacious than Corolla. I want this car.
My next car definitely. Thank you for always being the first to bring us these reviews.
My favorite feature in my Honda is its fully independent suspension. We might not be able to see it on camera but I think some basic information on suspension architecture is a relevant and often-missed aspect of a lot of car reviews.
You can also find independent suspension both front and back from the corolla too. It's amazing you will like the suspension. I drive everyday and you feel planted to the ground.
The Civic is just better inside and out. Nuff said! Thanks for sharing it Joe and well done Lori!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Such a cleaner style for sure!
Some automakers have finally realized SUVs aren't selling just because of ride height, but for the cargo advantages of a liftgate, so let's turn sedans into hatchbacks.
amazing how car engines have evolved over the years. I love that companies are now making smaller engines that are turbo charged for the average person.
Really love the look of these 11th gens.
I think they did a great job!
@@RaitisRides yes! Especially with the hatchback!
@@jxmar_ you are so very right!
I’m surprised they didn’t go with a gloss black roof or pillar trend
Love the energy and light humour. Good presentation of a car I can't wait to land here in the UK.
Joe just keeps it coming with these morning uploads. Love it though.
Bring it big for you this morning!
@@RaitisRides You really did!! :)
Listening to Joe's reviews makes my drives shorter....don't have money for a new car ( kids are the priority) but hey one can dream no ?
That is so wonderful Marius! I commend you for putting your kids first!
@Josh Jones bot alert
Joe, idk how difficult this would be, but I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like a camera angle that shows the stick while your drive manual cars, I’d love to actually see the throws being made, great vid though
The civic is a sport touring, roughly $30k, the Corolla hatch XSE is roughly 24k, it costs 25% more than the toyota, and i honestly can't see spending 30k on a civic. as nice as it is. I could get a Camry SE for that money.
I wish they paired the SI with the 2.0T they put in the Accord and the interior features of the touring trim. That's what I want...a 250hp 2.0T Civic Touring SI. I guess I'll just have to get a Audi A3 instead.
I guess they want you to go all the way with the Type R!
Amen. This is all I want.
Why not a 8 liter V16 ?
Huh? The Audi a3 only makes 221 HP and it's 42k Canadian... Not even in the same price range.
@@hondamanvtec2894 now that you mentioned a v16, why doesn’t anyone make a flat 8 engine? Or flat 12?
Joe and Lori, amazing job as always! Love the energy in these reviews, it's contagious!! hahah
First time watching this channel. Joe love the energy and the vibes. I'm not sure though why so many people are hating on the 10th Gen. I love my 2020 Civic Sedan Sport model. I love the Hatchback of this Gen it definitely gives off the sleek fastback design. Something the current Sedan version lost. Also some of the features on the previous gen that came standard on most trims (-LX) are only featured on the Sport Touring models. Example being fog lights, and some are slightly different like the driving modes. Which are Sport, Normal, or Economy mode. Previous Gen has away of combining all three modes at the same time. So there is definitely some give an take on the old vs. new.
It's a good lookin car. I drove a 2022 Civic Hatch Sport with the CVT....and you don't want it. It's has a annoying drone and completely takes the fun out of driving a Civic. Manual Transmission Only is where it's at.
Love watching all your reviews Joe. Definitely helping me decide on which vehicle to go with next. 29k just seems a bit high for a Civic.
That is so wonderful Thomas! I get what you are saying but the price on everything is going up.
Im glad I went with the 21 civic hatch. Instead of the the civic 22 hatch or I should say 22 civic station wagon because that's what the new hatches look like.
Joe, thank you for your honesty and in depth explanation. Been a Honda (Accord)owner since my twenties.
That is so wonderful David! I appreciate you letting me share this one with you!

@@DaveDVideoMaker
Yeah, I'm sure we Americans are interested in that discussion🤨. I'm curious, do Americans watch European based car reviews and complain about the specs being stated in metric units and not imperial weights and measures?
Big review along with the Savagegeese one, big fan from Algeria, especially Honda & Acura reviews. So refreshing! Thanks!
I have 24 version of same car with same color. There were no SI’s to try at my local Honda dealer. Very easy MT to shift. I need a lesson on downshifting and Rev match….. Great review of this car!
Thank you Laurie and Raiti for the awesome review! I'm inching closer to giving back my 2019 Civic LX and getting the Sport Sedan. Thank you COVID for lease equity lol.
i was really up in the air whether or not i wanted to go back to a manual after 4 or 5 years driving auto/cvt. Smile on your face says it all. Goin for the manual. :)
Good call man!
Dear Mr. Raiti, thank you for your very nice review. I've leased both the 2017 and 2020 Civic Hatch Sport finding the Civics are an unbeatable value. The many added features in the '20 make it a very nice upgrade and driving experience. I've test driven a Corolla hatch too and the Civic beats it on most points. The '22 Sport Touring: believe me it's awesome to see the manual and redesign and all the other nice features.
HOWEVER I am sorry, and I have to give Honda a big "Zonk" on the head for this: They no longer offer the 180HP-T in the Sport trim which was ~$22.8K. This means I need to get either an EX-L (What Sport buyer wants those wheels nor a lesser engine) or a Sport Touring for much more money. Yes it is a nicely appointed Civic, the Touring, but please don't downgrade us Sport trim buyers to the 158HP 2.0L engine which besides is now going for $24.1K.
This may now put the Sport experience out of reach of many buyers who can't spring for the $29K Civic including myself. I appreciate Honda raising the bar but I would much rather be interested in (and put my money into) a SI Hatch!!!
That being said, I believe Honda is making a marketing shift to keep sales current and competitive. It will be very interesting to see how their sales of the new Civic offerings plays out over the next few years. If I do get another Civic I will wait for the new SI and I hope they offer it in the hatchback. The Sport Touring is a beautiful new offering in any case and I would definitely love to wing one around the curves of those hilly streets of Austin! :-) Regards!
I'm 48; gas is $5-bucks a gallon! I don't need speeding tickets. I was debating to get the Corolla as my more gas efficient car. The problems with Toyota's are that they're so well engineered and reliable, they're very boring to drive. Honda's have always been fun to drive.
I put a deposit on this exact vehicle 28 June. Supposed to get it this month. Can't Wait!!!!! Both reviews were great Joe!!!!!!
Great video, really wish the Si trim was brought to the Hatchback.
Loved your Launch !! 🤙🏼🤙🏼 best part 🔥
Thanks for letting me bring it to you Mike!
Always come to raitis rides for that honesty and clarity. Thank you man. Much love. This is a great car too. ❤️💯
Hey Joe the Civic is very convincing when it comes to practicality and style. I wouldn't mind getting one of these babies. Awesome video!
One thing is for sure, this generation of Civic is not the head turner.
Been waiting for this one! Let's go! 💪🏾💪🏾
I’m ready if you’re ready!
I just subscribed to your channel. Loved the 80's GI Joe reference.
I know that looks are not everything but... I prefer the front end of the Corolla. I think that the new Civic has the better looking hatchback. I plan to test drive both when the dealership's in my area get some in. My local dealership's do not have much on the lot right now.
gathering up my old GI Joes to perform interior cargo tests of my own...Grunt, Clutch, Major Bludd, Scarlet, Stalker, et al.
Eewwww see I have always been turned off by that Corolla front end. Toyota doesn’t do front ends well at all imo. The Corolla looks like a guppy hahaha
Joe, is the only guy I trust for reliable videos on RUclips. ☺️
Great job on this TEXAS Honda review Raiti....you pointed out some distinct advantages ...will be interesting to see how many manuals they actually sell. Keep up the great work.
Hey perfect video I have been watching other videos over the last couple of years but I like this one because it is on Honda I just wish you had taken it out on the freeway just my thoughts thanks again
Every time Joe laugh before the throttle..it means it's approved!!
I like how Honda make the most of their interior and storage space. Almost 25 cu ft of cargo space is nuts.
King of the double entendres! Great car and appreciate the honest comparison to the Corolla.
You are so very welcome my friend. Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
Always love your videos. Bummer here in Volusia county Florida… The dealers are adding $1,800.00 in dealer installed stuff no one wants or needs but you have no choice. They are also adding $2,000.00 to the MSRP for “adjusted Market value” aka PRICE GOUGING! 🤨 Are there any dealerships you know of that aren’t doing this in FL?
That’s just the way environment we are in. And that is capitalism- supply and demand. It could always be way worse. People think they get gouged by dealers on cars but the same people will buy $1500.00 iPhones, $400 designer jeans, $300 sneakers, spend tons on eating out and drinking and hobbies and not think twice about getting their chain jerked. I don’t think $3800.00 extra for a car that you may drive for 10 years is a big deal. My family owns dealerships and we’ve always had to bite the bullet back in the days of negotiations. We had to make our money in parts and service department and by pushing people into buying extended warranty’s and hoping people sign high interest loans. Dealerships are not charities and it cost tons to own and operate and pay for marketing, legal fees, floor plans, payroll and electricity. It just feels like you are being taken advantage of because we aren’t negotiating like we used to have to. Those days are coming to an end. We are going to the Tesla model. Here is the price, buy it or don’t. If we pull up stakes then where will people go to get their car serviced?
Thinking about getting this new hatchback in the sport touring. Currently have 18 civic and I spend a lot of time driving so wanting to get some of those luxury details. So excited about the Bose sound system and leather so nice. I am thinking the hatchback will give me the much needed extra cargo space for fitting all work stuff school stuff and kids sports gear. I was considering a rav 4 hybrid… but not sure.
Does the sport touring have a quieter ride than the EXT from 2018? That’s one of my complaints is that the road noise is quite loud in my civic
This looks really good Joe. 👍
Good quality for the price
I’m so glad that you like it Tom!
8:54 $29.4k ehhhh.
I paid $31.7K for my 2018 2.0T sports 6-speed Accord.
I guess the next gen Accord would be reaching that $40K mark
A Camry already reaches 40K at the top end
And? You are getting 10 less mpg not to mention all the other goodies......12 speaker Bose....ect
Base accord already 34k 🤔
@@naveenthemachine I would pay a little more and get ES350.
Right? I bought the 2018 Accord Sport new for 27k.
I’m glad the new Civic is so good as it will be the basis for the coming manual transmission Acura Integra. I just hope they offer the Type R engine in the Integra with a manual transmission. That will be the compact car to get.
This is literally bigger than the Accords from the 2000's.
2002 Accord: 189.4”
2007 Accord 191.1”
2008 Accord 194.3”
2022 Civic Hatchback: 179”
It has been the case for a long time , now
I love his energy 😂 I been watching ur videos all night 🤣
I wanted to buy this but i couldn’t
Imagine spending
31k for a civic.. really nice car
I was at a Honda dealership yesterday and after all the fees the final price came out to be $37K...I don't know if it would be worth it for that amount.
@@peruvianheat2053 it’s not worth it for even 26K, hold the line.
Honestly, I was a tad disappointed when I initially saw the Civic, as it felt like a smaller variant of the current-gen Honda Accord. But this review itself is a proof this one is far more interesting and intuitive than the latter! Love how Honda has these innovative ideas for Civic while being consistent with their initial purpose the lineup was even made for - quality comfort on a budget. I do miss the rear AC vents from the previous generation and the rear flat floor from the older ones (from 2001 - 2016 Civics). I guess the latter was dropped in favor of ever-evolving safety regulations (?) but it did add some extra space for people without having them feel they're crammed up.
What's sad though is Pakistan won't be getting to see the car being sold in the domestic market as the local Honda factories apparently do not possess the technology to build this generation. Way to scam the customers of an already-dwindling industry.
I have a hold on the Black On Black sport model! It should be in mid-November (to far away if u ask me) I’m so excited! Love the review! I have to stop watching these when I’m hungry though! 🥤🌯🌮
Great thing I got a 10th gen hatchback sport 2021 instead of this. Previous gen looks more aggressive
Great camera work. Made the host and the car look good.
Best new Civic review! 👍 Can’t wait for the Si!
Honda + Manual = Fun 🤩
Those rims are just killer. Super clean. I wish Honda uses those on other models as well.
if anyone spend 29k for a honda civic is crazy, might as well get honda accord with that money.
i just got a 2021 civic sport hatchback and i love the design more than the one shown in the video , also i raced a mustang and lost , raced a v6 Camaro and lost , raced my brothers 2016 Subaru WRX and most definitely lost (he got thing so modded tho)
yeaaaaaaaaaaah if only my civic had at least 240hp or something i would love it even more , the launch is so slow but it's fast once it gets going.
You should have waited one more year. This car looks and is much better than the 2021 model.
Absolutely it’s better than a corolla. The civic is a Honda and the corolla is a Toyota. The civic is the best period. The corolla is just lackluster in every way.
😃👍
Agreed
The only gripe is that it’s just all too common
The civic TRANSCENDS the segment. Honda in general transcends any segment.
I absolutely agree with you 👍💯
Thanks for sharing your thought on this Civic!
@@alengreen589 i appreciate you watching!
I appreciate the heads up on the Honda civic 2022 but why don't you talk about the elephant in the room man. They don't have any of these in stock I just went to three Honda dealerships in South florida. They used to have over 350 cars a piece not one of them had more than 10 cars in their lot. But you're sitting here pushing the Honda accord 2022 they're also adding $5,000 on top of the MSRP you got to be crazy bro. Why are you showing these cars to people when people are not going to buy them and can't even afford them and on top of that they won another $1,000 down if you want to lease it so that's $6,000 above MSRP for at least vehicles. And yet you're showing this thing like anyone can go there and buy it like sure they got 20 of them in the lot right there have you have a good time. You're living in a fantasy world bro wake up
Easy man..... remember these are demo cars. Vehicle shortage has been rampant, at least he is showing you what features and stuff it will come with so that you can decide as a person on what works for you. I have a 2020 corolla but I still watch his reviews and enjoy them even though I'm not planning to buy any of their cars for now.
Joe that's most definitely a Sportback, not a hatchback in my opinion. I guess Honda is trying to appeal more to the older audience on this generation which I respect. I'm just worried that the Si and Type R will have this conservative design language they have going on. Either way, I'd still take this hatch over the sedan any day off the week.
I bought one that same color. Everybody compliments it.
Looks more grown up than the Corolla. I’m in my 30s and I’d love to have one of these
I love how they took a huge risk going conservative with the design. My dealership told me they sold their civics that are on pre Oder through April and May
It looks a little better than the corolla perhaps a tiny bit faster, similar mpgs but at -30,000 $ for the civic and corolla around 24,000$ ---and guess what the corolla with no turbo will be more reliable.
I go with the corolla.
So now the manual corolla hatch and civic sport touring have the same 0-60 at 7.4 to 7.5s. 10th Gen was significantly quicker in the high 6s.
In the looks department, I think the Corolla Hatch wins in both interior and exterior. Only thing I dislike about the Corolla Hatch is the fake exhaust tips. That being said, I don’t mind if people prefer the Civic. Makes my Corolla Hatch more rare on the roads.
😂😂😂
Don't worry you won't be the only person on the road who has a new Corolla. It's one of the best selling cars of all time. IMO you cannot go wrong with either car.
The dealer markup on this car is insane.
Running on 87 octane is nothing to brag about. my 5.7Litre HEMI 2013 Dodge Charger can run 87 Octane just fine.
Thanks for sharing that great info.
I am really digging this look from the 11th gen Civic. Can't wait to see what the CTR will look. Already witness the camo test, the front-end silhouette oddly reminds me of an R32.
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
My son and I went through this choice one year ago. We looked at the Corolla Hatch and the Civic Hatch. We both agreed that the Corolla had a very attractive interior and a nice sporty exterior. It is compatible with it's serene and relaxed handling and engine performance.
Whereas the Gen X Civics we looked at were far racier looking, had a more business-like interior, but in performance, we felt that the Civic crushed the Corolla in acceleration, handling and driver interaction with the road.
With my Gen X, the 1.5Liter Turbo, I get 0-60 in 7.3 sec, not fast but quick enough for my needs. To date after 26k miles, 37.7 mpg from day #1.
Will that 1.5L turbo outlast the non turbo Corolla... probably not. But by the time my turbo dies, I'll have my Civic converted to an electric/hybrid.
The kits are in Europe already (€7,500).
We saw the new 2022 design, but found the look underwhelming.
2022 hatch looks way better than the sedan if I were to choose
@@alvinsimba734 well that's a personal choice. And I respect yours. But we feel they sucked all the "excitement" out of the car's design. My son and I saw the Gen Xl and didn't care for it. We rushed to the dealer and got two Gen X's. He got a new 2020 Sport Hatch and I got a new 2020 Coupe EX at insane discounts and ridiculous $ for our trades. And I see that for some reason the new Gen Xl is a bit slower. But that's meaningless, I guess.
I look at it this way, if I'm gonna drive a bottom feeder Civic, at least it should have some pizzazz. To us, the Gen Xl would be omnipresent in the parking lot of a AARP Convention! 😆😆😆
Alright, I'm subbing. These reviews are just too good! Thanks Raiti.
I don't know what you're talking about that the sport gets sports tuned suspension. According to the Honda website all 4 trims are listed as having MacPherson Strut Front Suspension.
The brakes are also listed as the same size throughout all 4 trims.
Joe how does the new Civic Hatchback compare to the Mazda hatchbacks what's your opinion
Mazda’s auto transmission is better and it has more horsepower. Better handling too.
I like the silhouette of Honda though. It’s more sexy.
Nice review, Joe!
My son loves that new 2022 Civic Hatch Sport Touring!
I think you should have threw in the Mazda Hatch to compare.. great review as always Joe!
Id be super willing to get a manual transmission for a fun weekend car, but I need a commuter car that I can also take on 12 hour road trips and I would hate a manual for those purposes
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Drove a Civic Manual lately? It's lovely, even on a long road trip. Much more fun than a boring CVT.
Never understood this.
Traffic or long trips, how hard is it to shift?
I just did a long trip in a manual, it's great to downshift and pass somebody on the highway-then go back to cruising.
Or, even better, backroads and thrashing the transmission the whole time.
I mean, what else are you doing while you are sitting there in the car?
In traffic, having your foot directly on the pulse of the engine is a feeling that an Auto can never recreate, much less a CVT. My '18 Rallye Red Sport Touring 6MT still puts a smile on my face at 100 000km...
Great job Joe. A few zonks for me, no driver lumbar, all LED exterior lighting but dated incandescent rear turn signal, and Honda's gotta ditch that honeycomb dash accent. Of course I can swap out storing twinkies for Qtip swabs to clean it. I enjoy all of your work, you guys do great!
The honeycomb dash accent looks great and it metal not cheap plastic.
The best car channel... great job
Joe thanks for the great review, I just bought a 22 Civic sport/touring hatch with HPD cosmetics in boost blue
liking it so far
I can't afford a new car. In 5 - 10 years we should do a comparison about which is better, the Civic or the Corolla.
I can’t stand Toyota’s CVT. And the Corolla hatch is just too tight and too small. Just picked up my 22’ Civic Hatch Sport and in love!
I’ve been waiting for this! Lemme sit over and watch
This civic already has problems stacking up. Brake pedal malfunction off showroom floor. Moisture build up in new LED headlight units…reliability slipping. Buyer beware
WOW, maybe I will stick to Toyota.
Another great video! i really wish Honda made the hatchback available in the Si trim. I'll have to cut down on my twinkie buying to save up and think about the typeR if they make it a 5 seater this year instead of a 4 seater again.
it's definitely not the time to be buying any car.. new or used.. the dealers are raping the customers
💯So dam true!!
I think the styling of this generation is vastly superior to the prior model. Nice review, Joe! You earned a Twinkie for that. The "on throttle" bit was certainly different than the experience with the Dodge Demon from days ago. :)
No comparison, Honda just does it better. Not to sure which one I want, hatchback touring with a lot of extra features and storage or the Si Love both , great review !!!!!
Just bought a 2023 in the same color! Sport model!
Thanks for going over in detail and not hacking it like a lot of the younger guys did for this car!
For the price/performance ratio…. I would go for the Mazda3/CX-30 with the 2.5 Turbo. If I was going long term reliablity…. Corolla Manual ALL DAY and skip the complexity of a small overpressured 1.5z
Sounds like a great plan!
@@RaitisRides Plus, no waiting on boost. I LOVE Honda and know they make the best engines in the world. But, those tiny 4 bangers with turbos scare the heck out of me. Many are overpressured and even the strongest have too much strain on them and blow out earlier than necessary.
@@silenciummortum2193 I'm going for the Sport model with 158HP for longevity. That 1.5T scares me.
@@thundergato84 Exactly. That 2.0 liter 4 can be modded to exceed that 1.5 T in output soooo easily
@Gilbert Galvan do you plan on doing any upgrades?
