is the 2019 Honda Civic Sport Touring Hatchback like a Civic Si?

- Has Honda made a mistake by not offering a 2019 Civic Si hatchback. This Civic Sport Touring hatchback may be the closest Honda fans may ever get to one. The great news is that the 1.5L turbocharged engine can be connected a CVT or 6-speed manual transmission. Check out all the details on the 2019 Honda Civic Sport hatchback to see if it's worth a consideration.

I like the fact that this doesn’t guy doesn’t seem so scripted and robotic, when he talks he talks like a guy who is just trying to describe it to you.
Thanks man! I really appreciate that!
Seems like a guy to have a beeper!
Honestly if they made an SI hatch I'd be a lot happier. I have an SI sedan it's great... But the hatch is way cooler than sedan.
I am really surprised that they don't
I totally agree with you, a SI hatch would be a great idea. But i doubt Honda would ever make one because Honda thinks if you want a hatch that's sporty, then you might just have to opt for a type R.
Yeah I just bought a 19 SI sedan if they made a hatchback SI I I would be so fucking pissed that I didn't wait for that lol. But I like the sedan it's very chill doesn't look like a hot rod like the type R I'm just not into my car looking so out of this world
You should transform one into an Si like people made a Focus ST sedan. To me, that is truly unique and that is deserves mad respect because it's not produced in the factory. Of course, it's going to a butt load of money but it would be super dope. Lol.
@@imtherealone.6268 the money it would cost... It's a bit ridiculous. I'd rather drive my SI sedan at a way lower price and not worry about it
Can't wait to fit my big bottles of mayonnaise in this beast
JR Silva thata boii

Lol gottem
What?
Loooool yeah same
Owning a Honda Accord Sport with CVT and paddles...I can tell you, in either "D" or "S" mode, tapping the down shift paddle
puts the "virtual" gear in the sweet spot to accelerate. Keep in mind when in "S" you have to continue to up shift with the up shift paddle,
when in "D" it automatically reverts back. I have yet to see anyone reviewing these cars demonstrate this. I also use the downshift paddle to
brake assist with the engine. Also, if you have it in "S" and you don't touch a paddle, it will shift automatically but with higher rev changes.
If you select "S" and tap a paddle, it put's you in manual and you have to up shift to the next gear. To disengage, just put it back into "D".
It's not so boring if you operate the car in this manner occasionally, although it does not replace an actual manual. Good review, I'm considering
a Civic Hatch Sport next, so thanks.
Thanks for that great ownership input! I really appreciate it!
Hatchback should have more power to compete with other competition. I understand it'd take away from the Type R, but on-par with the Si or maybe a little more than the Si would make sense. It is more expensive, too.
AGREED! Very good points Tom!
Yep that volume knob is a big improvement. Touchscreen volume can burn in hell.
AGREED!
This is true, but some want to "FINE" tune their sound! ;-)
I had a 14 ex and I never minded it the wheel controls worked fine
@@lilkris3008 The plastic on the wheel control feels like the plastic used on a bic pen. I hate that too.
@@JFomo yeah but my new cars wheel controls are that horrible gloss black plastic seems like that’s what they all use now. A plus to the touch volume was that whoever was riding shotgun couldn’t mess with your volume the amount of times my passenger started turning the a/c knob back and fourth with a confused look was hilarious
Got mine last week I love it. I went from a 14' Focus SE so its a big step up. Loads of technology, CVT is surprisingly good and I love the styling especially the rear end. Lights are fantastic at night too.
If you're concerned about power, just an ECU remap will see gains of 40+hp given its turbocharged, that would take you considerably above a stock SI. I plan on doing a tune soon, it will also improve responsiveness and fuel economy on highways too.
i wanna get one just scared the turbos gonna go bad 😭
drive the sport hatchback with 6 speed manual its amazing
AGREE! It's a fun car!
That's just what I was about to comment, that I'd take it in a manual!!!
Great minds think a like Greg!
2019 fk7 owner, the 6 speed is so fun. I was sceptical of the CVT trans
Only bad thing with the Sport trim is that they took away some of the goodies offered on the sport touring, like heated leather seats, larger infotainment screen with Android auto/Apple carplay, full LED headlights with auto highbeam, Lanewatch, moonroof, rainsensing wipers, dual climate zones, keyless entry/pushbotton start, and a few more things.
Leather seats in my opinion is a blessing and a curse. They do feel better yes, but when it’s freezing or blazing hot outside, it’s the worst thing to sit on and they get creases over time. It is also a safety hazard for “me”. It will feel to good that I’ll fall asleep behind the wheel
I just got mine today. 2019 civic hatchback sport touring. Its dope. I love it. From a beamer fan to civic fan. This car is fantastic
Thanks for sharing that!
Just got an SI. And before I made that decision I watched a couple of ur vids, love the review and enthusiasm.
Congrats Rodney! I really appreciate your support!
Seeing the Sport Touring in Sonic Grey, cemented my decision to get it. I absolutely love it, it is so fun to drive (manual transmission :-) )!
I totally agree!
Well, as your grandmother says, not my cup of tea! Looks nice but I would prefer the civic SI to this tour model, more ponies! And of course, the type 'R' has the wow factor! Great presentation Joe, as always, keep em' comin'.
Couldn't have said it better! Thanks for watching Paul!
Great video Amigo!! This civic sport hatchback is a great car that’s y I own one and had a blast when I took it to the tail of the dragon at Tennessee !! Can’t wait to go back for another 318 turns in 11 miles on the sport civic!!
Awesome review! Recently just switched from my TLX to the ‘19 sport touring. Tbh I’m loving this car. Every bit of it is awesome, and VERY good fuel economy, saved me a lot of $$$ on gas.
A little fun fact, Someone dyno’d The Sport hatchback CVT and was reporting 180+ HP to the Wheels, not the crank. Which means that The Sport hatchback has more Horsepower than what Honda advertises.
That is a really cool fact! Thanks for sharing that!
Neil Tagaban but it’s a CVT so who cares. After awhile the belt will snap. 🤷🏻♂️
Giovanni Cruz And with proper maintenance, CVT belts lasts well over the Length of your life with the car.
Neil Tagaban not if you are modding the car.
Giovanni Cruz Seriously, You’re buying a Civic Sport. If you want to Mod, Get the Si. The Civic Sport CVT is meant for the average commuter who drives to and from work.
This CVT is underrated. Ive put 60k miles on my 2016 sedan cvt so far. It took awhile before i really learned how to utilize it correctly. First you have to stop treating it like it needs to work like an automatic. It is very tourqy between 2500-4000 rpm, it doesnt force a fake “shift” or “adjustment” unless you let off the accelerator. Also if you are cruising 60-70 mph on the highway and you want to aggressively pass someone, you give it a sharp jump to 3500-4000 rpm and it picks up at a very satisfying speed. When you force it above 4500 rpm, that’s where the power drops off and there’s nothing there.
I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts from your experience!
Putting the CVT in S mode and using the paddle shifters, I find the engine is strong all the way to 6000 RPM. Try it!
@@philipgeeslin7566 I now own a 2017 Si coupe and a 2017 Accord V6 coupe Manual. The LX Sedan was a fine car for the time I had it, but I’m all for manual transmissions now. Nothing better than rowing the gears.
Great to see you reviewing cars the average person can afford. It would be nice to have Ferrari, Lambo, etc., but a bit over my budget by 200K
I totally agree with you Derek! I am glad I can share these with you!
Your the coolest and the best detailed car reviewer
Ryan that really means a lot!
If Honda wants to bring back a little more excitement, they should bring back the S2000. Save the Wave.
I could not agree with you more!
I recall my coworker having said a dozen yrs ago that the S2000 car was so gay! He drove a Jeep Wrangler Btw.
It is a potent car on the right road with right driver!
S2000! yes
we know who drives jeeps, lol@@gregholman2930
if im going to zoink it i’d like for raiti to have more subs because he deserves it 👍!
That is really awesome of you to say!
I just bought this car in Aegean blue. Gorgeous and fun car. Sure the cvt sucks but there’s a lot more on this that an si and I like the extra options
Mark MD was debating agean blue vs. sonic grey, which sort of looks blue in certain light. Still going back and forth 🤔
i was in the market for Husqvarna L221A only has 160cc this si totally blows it out of the water good job honda.
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I saw a post from HondaPro Jason that the manual would be offered on the touring hatch for 2020. Really hope so. Would love it if we could get the Si in a hatchback.
It will be interesting to see how it turns out.
Lol everyone seems to want a SI hatch but won’t happen bc CTR
xil3ntkha0s, you’re probably right and it’s unfortunate. I honestly don’t think that if we had a Si Hatch that it would impact sells of the CTR because the price and performance delta are so significantly different.
@@subvet3668 by that time this lease will be over so I can return this for a SI hatch.. Here's hoping.
Designer should be highly credited. Best detailing video of this car on RUclips
Love that 1.5 turbo motor! I just have mine on ktuner and I have it on Factory boost levels and it still is very satisfying to drive I can go from 17 PSI up to 23 PSI by pushing a couple buttons with my cruise control but I don't even turn it up because the car doesn't need it. 3,000 RPMs & above it shits n get...i mean 4 a civic that gets 32+mpg
this year civic and the 2023 differ a lot but are also great in each of their own ways. hard to decide between this legend vs all the new tech in the 2023, shows how well done this car really was
Thanks Joe and Big Guns McGee!!! That is one amazing car!! Great review Joe!! Your channel impresses me more and more the more I watch!! Have a great weekend!! I have been wearing my Raiti’s Rides Shirt 👕 often!! Let me tell everyone that it is the most high quality and most comfortable fabric I have ever owned!! Hope to talk soon Joe!! God bless!!🙏🏻🚙🚘🚙🙏🏻
I am so glad that you are not only loving the channel but also the shirt! I really appreciate your support! Any word on your Type R yet?
There is an update on the Type R!! I got good news a little bit ago and the dealership got the vin Number for my Type R and it’s ETA is the later part of April!! It’s all built and on the way!! I am so excited!! I will keep you updated for sure and send you pictures when I take delivery of it!! 😀🚙🚘🚙😀 I will make sure you’re first to know!! 😀😀😀
That's the exact car that I had prior to getting my 2019 Civic SI. 2017 hatch ex it's just mine was the CVT. But 6 speed to 6 speed, it's very close but the limited-slip differential is a HUGE deal (1 tire 🔥) sucks & the seats are much better & sport mode... But relatively speaking they are very very close but with the price difference being so minimal why would you not get the SI?? Different turbo sodium filled valves couple Grand more well spent $$ imo
Very cool George! Thank you for sharing your input as an owner! You are so right about the LSD!
I forgot that you were talking about the touring model tho that car is actually way more expensive than the SI! Like 4k🤔
@@honda116969 that is a really good point!
I was thinking of trading in my civic hatch sport with 2k miles 2018 and they wanted to give me 18k for it... i really want that si but at the same time i really like the space the hatch has to offer. I guess in other words i want a si hatch lol
hit me up bro 602-733-2959 they're trying to rip use a fuck off dude your car is brand fucking new they gave me $18,000 my 17 hatchback that had 31k on it...I don't play that dealer bullshit if they want to sell me a car they got a make them numbers right but yeah I agree to hatchback is a better body but I wanted the SI I've had an 8th gen 9th gen now I have the 10th gen lol
This is my favorite vehicle!! Good job Joe.
Why does the hatchback touring cost most than si
It comes down to tech.
I guess I'm the 1/10 that use the paddles. All the time!
How’s your transmission holding up?
I have the same car, 2020 model year, and with the CVT in Sport mode and using the paddle shifters to keep the RPMs above 3000, the CVT lag is gone and I have more fun shifting this car vs ANY manual car I've ever owned!
This gen of the civic is the best looking one, inside cabin and exterior. I don't know what they were thinking with the 2022 generation.
The CVT will die if you try to drive it like an SI. I blew two transmissions on the hatchback within 4 months of ownership before trading for an SI.
what u mean by trying to drive it like an si?
Christopher Hernandez stepping on the gas
Why are they still putting pin stripes on cars? What year is it 1990? 😂 I love the front minus the oar/paddle look. How was the road noise? I remember it being so loud in my 2009 Civic. Anyone who I called on Bluetooth would ask me if I had the window open.
It has gotten better but still not perfect. The best part is when dealers charged a stupid about for that retro look! I heard they add 5-10 hp!
So you didn't answer your own question, is it like an Si?
I leave the answer up to the viewer, At the end of the day it's your money.
Thanks for listing out that awesome info! You are spot on!
Well…the sport touring hatch is a solid 5k over MSRP of an Si…So the whole you get what you pay for idiom kinda backfires in meaning. The sport trim, in 6-speed manual, however does slide in about 3k less than Si..However, I’m more a fan of the Si for sure. Just wish it was also offered in a hatch like countless others have said as well.
Nope
@@davidcoons89 The interior in the Sport Touring is MILES better than an SI, you get more features with the Sport Touring for sure, you're just getting more power with an SI. It won't offer leather seats, all the adaptive cruise control and lane assists etc.
I love this car. By far one of my fav purchases
Hi--- I really like the enthusiasm and honesty you put into in all your reviews. You always go into detail on cargo space, styling and how it feels when driving. If I had the cash around this would be my dream car. After this I also like the Elantra GT hatchback, the Kona and the HR-V evegasoline
Hi--- I really like the enthusiasm and honesty you put into in all your reviews. You always go into detail on cargo space, styling and how it feels when driving. If I had the cash around this would be my dream car. After this I also like the Elantra GT hatchback, the Kona and the HR-V even though they under powered I will take any of them. I don't like trunks. I like lift backs aka hatchbacks so I can haul stuff plus haul from Home Depot._______ THANKS!!......Honda is very big in the small engine biz too, such as what powers lawnmowers, pressure washers and larger machinery. So I figure Honda is doing lots more gasoline engine research and advancement all the time as opposed to (for example) Toyota.
Looking forward to getting this car soon! Great review!
Hi Joe its seems very noisy when you're driving it ,was there much tyre noise and wind noise.
I got a Civic SI sedan it was hard choosing between the SI and the hatchback sport but I wanted the performance and went with the SI but if they had an SI option with the hatchback that would of been awesome.
i’m debating si or hatch rn
@@STONERTELEVISION369 the new 11th gen SI looks nice but has a slight loss of horsepower.
I just got a Forte EX Launch Edition and I already regret it. I did it to be more financially stable, but man I should have gotten this car.
I am so sorry to hear your are not happy with that decision! Maybe you will find things about it that will help along the way! I think it was wise to do the financial thing. Those are not always the easiest decisions!
So many opportunities. Honda... I think you found their new slogan
LMAO! One of the best comments ever!
I have been looking forward to this review from you. Thanks.
I am so glad that I could bring it to you Issac!
Like the vid 👍
Ugh...forget type R, we need hatch Si
Only makes sense, still don't know why Honda did not do it.
Those that want type R will still get one, but for sporty daily Si hatch would be ideal.
I am shocked Honda doesn't have one! I appreciate you watching!
I went with a Sport Hatch to avoid the CVT.
Smart move!
Hi Joe, love your videos! I'm from Bradenton, FL and would love to see you go down to Hendrick Honda of Bradenton to do some reviews in the future. It's a great dealership that really cares about their customers. Your review of the 2018 Honda Accord 2.0T with the "slick shifting 6 speed" was part of the reason I purchased one in February. Loving the vehicle and just this weekend my wife leased a Touring model of the Accord
Hi Tim! Congrats on your new Hondas! That is a really great suggestion! I will see If I can get a good contact person to call. I am so glad that you are enjoying your car! I hope she brings you many smiles per miles!
Congratulations bro you got a couple of nice rides in your family lol. I have a 19 SI Civic it's more than big enough for me & you should look at doing ktuner on your new car. Gain 20hp & 40tq under $500! & if you keep your foot off of it you will actually get better mileage. Look into it
George R Thanks George, I’d love to get that done but does it affect the cars warranty?
@@timd.2505 if they know it's on there and they're being sticklers about it yes it could void the warranty but it's very easy to take off n once you take it off they will never know it was on there, & you can take it on and off with your computer in about 5 minutes time. it just makes the car so much more pleasurable to drive & I mean you have a Honda I don't think you have too much to worry about when it comes to warranty 👍
Yeah I'm like you i hate that chuckie black corner pieces in back it need smoother it needs a dual clutch cvt nope they have a drone sound and they hunt for gearing
That is so very true!
I have a 2018 hatch sport absolutely no drone and no gear searching
Is it missing the famous honda conversation mirror? This is my new favorite car.
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you for watching!
Why don't more manufacturers put in that camera for changing lanes and turning?
I think it comes down to cost! I am sure as the years go by that will change.
I’m looking into getting one of these or an accord but I’m pretty concerned with the cvt what do you think ?
Love the look of the civic hatch. But I went with the corolla hatch because that deep open console where the cup holders are. I really like my cars to be clean. And I was looking at that console wondering how much junk will fall inside and god forbid if you ever spill liquid inside lol.
That is a very good point that you bring up Dustin! I am sure that she will bring your many smiles per miles!
That’s the reason you went with Toyota? Bro you know the civic hatchbacks are way more powerful than the corolla hatch because of their turbo. Way better mpg because of that.
Eddiev8 well a few things. I was reading about the oil dilution issue as well. And the volume knob lol. The center console. But so far I really like the corolla hatch. And for the engine. I’ve driven both. The civic is not a ton faster. I saw for 2019 they added the volume knob. So maybe my next car in a few years will be a civic again. Also for 2018 model year. The corolla had more standard features for like 5k less then the civic hatch sport touring.
I wonder if is worth it to buy a 2019 model. I have a feeling that 2020 has something great coming.
It will be interesting to see how it turns out!
joel Cazares yes maybe a new rear bumper. Then all us hatch owners can do bumper swaps. 😀
I have a 2019 sport hatch and I get about 31-32 in the city and have gotten an average of 40 on the highway👍🏼
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Any problems whit car?How many km?tnx
aco devic idk km but I have 14.5k miles on it now and not a single problem yet👌🏼
Wouldn't buy a civic with the 1.5 turbo until they figure out this oil dilution problem. Just had the recall done on mine yesterday and their extending the powertrain warranty an extra year now.
That is a very good point! It is going to be interesting to see how this pans out.
The Kanuck I got their recall letter and haven’t brought it in, I’m running ktuner shine 5k km now 85k km, I think the recall was the software update and thermostat hardware replace?
@@jasontruong48 The service advisor said it was just a software update and they're also changing the oil as part of the recall. Honda Canada is also extending the powertrain to 6 years or 120,000km. Basically the service advisor said the only vehicles they've seen that have had oil dilution are people who commute very small distances. I commute 130km one way so I didn't have any issue with oil dilution.
The Kanuck I have been running ktuner since 5k km and now at 85k km both long and short trips, and I never have oil delution problem, is it because I’m running ktuner? What do you think?
Great review as always ! b for $24,000 you can get the SI Civic with an LSD and no one size k series direct inject turbocharged motor that has a huge aftermarket supporting Network for it .;the aftermarket support is so great for that car they already have it running 11 80s with a stock turbo
I test drove this exact car with Pearl Sonic Gray color. I loved it. The CVT wasn't half bad, not perfect, but the performance felt really nice with great handling. I hope in the future when the production of the Honda Civic comes to the US especially the Hatchback, that the CVT will become a ivtec engine. I'd be happy if Honda made it primarily Ivtec with a few components of their CVT from the Accord. Would be perfect.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
@@RaitisRides you're welcome! Honda might surprise people in 5 years from now.
This is very true!
Love mines Just recently purchased !! Adaptable to any type of car !! I have an 2010 Camaro 2SS, 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro , 2011 Nissan Maxima, and I prefer to drive my 2019 Civic more than all of them !!
Congrats!
Love that flavor! The hatchback reminds me of the crosstour only sportier. Is this a crossover? It seems to be as functional as the crv which is based on the same platform. Thanks for the video. I am pretty sure this is an mpv, right?
Yes you are right! I appreciate you saying that!
New sub... love the reviews.
Thanks Nathan! I appreciate you joining the Raiti's Rides family!
They should have put the same front and rear bumpers on the non-hatch on this model. I don't understand Honda sometimes
I totally agree with you!
I'm cross shopping between this car & the new Corolla Hatchback as graduation gift to my granddaughter Which one is the better buy as her first car ?
I would go with the Toyota! The naturally aspirated engine is a safer bet in the long run.
@@RaitisRides Thanks I agree I'm an old school guy & still prefer N/A engines for now
Go with the Corolla hatch. Your granddaughter won't look like a ricer, and Toyota is more reliable because it uses both port and direct injection. Whereas Honda is only direct injection coupled with turbo, so expect their cars to have carbon buildups; meaning higher maintenance cost. Every 30,000 miles you have to remove the intake manifold and manually clean the carbon deposits. Unless you know how to do it yourself, you'd have to hire a professional to clean it for you which would run you a couple hundred dollars. If you go with Corolla get it in manual because the CVT have faulty torque converter. They're getting recalled as we speak. Just look up "corolla hatch cvt recall".
@@Hboogie182 Thanks I agree
The Corolla CVT is bad
When Honda decides to give this car as much power as the Si, I'm upgrading mine.
How is the sound system?
I like good quality sound and bass when I drive, does it have have that?
It’s pretty good but I think if you are like me you will probably basically want one more sub. On Spotify the equalizer definitely helps too
I have the SI with the 10 speaker ~450w system and it’s absolutely phenomenal for the pricepoint. Only downfall are it’s lows in the bass.
Sounds better than my $600 headphones being quite honest.
Steven Caicedo-Suarez lmao I got a 950w 13 speakers
Mohamed Mehmood Good for you buddy; I was replying to the gentleman above, who asked for an opinion on how their sound systems are. You have contributed absolutely nothing to this conversation.
Mohamed Mehmood What types of speakers are in the car? I’d be surprised if you knew anything-other than the branding-on the subject.
You seem to be the type to only buy expensive cars for status, not for a passion for cars; consequently, you wouldn’t know anything about them past their price, manufacturer, and some of it’s features.
Dude, this is SUCH A GOOD REVIEW VIDEO, both for someone who is about to buy this car, but also in a general sense. This is my second video of yours and I think every RUclipsr should study your videos to learn how to deliver content in a way that is packed with information that the viewer will find useful, while also being well-paced, fun, and easy to watch. You've got a good sense of humor but you're not grandstanding like so many adult RUclipsrs who think they need to act like a drunken teenager to build an audience. You keep the focus on the topic at hand (the car), not on how "special" and "funny" you are. You're obviously thinking *about the audience* which is surprisingly rare on RUclips these days. Well done.
I have a manual sport hatch as my daily and I love it :)
Any one that owns this car have y’all had any trouble with the turbo going bad or whatever?
Bring back the k20 n/a 210 hp so easy to work on beautiful engine unlimited after market options best engine ever made k swap everything
I don't think that is going to happen.
The K20 is still in the base Civic.
Nice review. But why no talk of Honda sensing. That's a great feature I sadly don't have in my 18 sport.
I ordered mine more than 6 months ago, now they dont even know when it will arrive due to Brexit and factory closing in UK. Not sure if thats bullshit or not, but what to do ? Look for another car or worth waiting dont know how much more.
That is super annoying! Are you thinking about just getting something different?
Sorry to hear that. Looking elsewhere inbox Honda’s line? Or other new or used? Or you planning on waiting it out? Best wishes, regardless of your choice in the matter. The good news if you do go with something else is that there are lots of good options at and below that price point anymore. Frustrating tho, especially when you’ve clearly had your heart set on a specific vehicle.
Hey guys..help me out..Should I purchase a 2018 Honda Hatchback Sport Touring with 97000 miles. Or keep my 2017 Nissan Rogue SL with 62000 miles in it. 100,000 mile warranty on my Nissan🤔🤷
Question??? Test drove this car today, loved it. Only concern is the low profile tires. I'm actually replacing a Cadillac ATS coupe. I'm doing this because how fragile the tires are. I'm not a careless driver, however I was unable to avoid a moderate sized pothole and instantly destroyed the tire. We are in pothole Haven here and I'm scared to drive it. I believe the tire on the Cadillac was a 225/55/17 not sure of the Civic -sport touring ... Your thoughts on how likely I will have the same problem ..
Civic is 18 inch wheel. It is made by Enkei. I have hit some bad potholes with my Si (btw Si and hatchback touring have same Rims) and no damage.
@@Sror3d thank you!
13 minutes and 56 seconds of this video you called it a Honda SI touring lol
Good review though!
Oooopps!
Will the lx hatch with 174 horsepower be much slower? also is the suspension different in this model over the lx hatch?
Are y’all sure about the times? When I had it I remember it being quicker then a 0-60 in 6.9 seconds. 2.7 charger is faster than that
Depends on the altitude.
I have a neighbor that has this car and I look at it all day and I get sad cause Ik I won’t have this car as my first. I had a dream about it lmao I’m 15 hopefully I get this car man...
Here in canada we can get sport touring in 6speed manual.
Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I definitely wish we got that in the states! It’s a great ‘Goldilocks'IMO!
My sister ended up getting the civic sport i don’t think the dealer ship we went to had the touring yet
How does she like it?
I wonder how the CVT will handle a bolt on 1.5 turbo with a tune...
It probably wouldn't!;-)
Hey, What is the difference between the Touring and Ex-L?
Touring is fully loaded.
Manual touring available here in Canada. Not a fan of cvt's. Find them to be too noisy
You are so very right! Plus the manual is so much more engaging!
Slurping up my Slurpee watching this review!
The curved hatch kinda looks like the older Hondas, like the Del Sol or the CRX.
wasn't Del Sol the same thing as CRX?
@@sveddish They're basically the same. The Del Sol vs the successor to the CRX. In essence, they're the same because Honda just changed the name after a certain year.
Civics have always been a fun car!
And very good on fuel!
Is this a good buy used ?
What a silly little half pinstripe that dealer put on there. Probably charging an extra $200 for it, too.
Just doesn't look right.
Dude, when I got mine-the dealer tried to charge me $500 for adding “door protection film” - I laughed. I ended up driving off the lot paying thousands below MSRP. 😃
Nice little car, The kids will love it
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
You taught? That’s pretty cool!
So it’s safe to say that the Civics have an automatic Zonk with the vents. Lol
Does that come in a manual?
I am actually still teaching high school! :-0
All Civics get a pre-zonk before we evern turn the camera on.
Yes it does!
everyone knows 1.5t civics are underrated in power, many videos of people showing their civics on dynos getting numbers up to 197 and 206 for a stock hatch, that’s at least the most i’ve seen out of a stock one. so id imagine a hatch manual shouldn’t be a “downgrade” from the si.
Does only the sports touring trim has push start button?
is it possible to tune it with Hondata for more horsepower?
Wait so the hatchback sport has a 1.5l turbo and the sedan sport has the 2.0l na vtec engine that's weird they would do that
Does this car have sport mode or the modes like an si does?
No
It should come with active grill shutters like the2017 CRV.
AGREE!
Seems like this older gen is still a bit faster compare to the 11th gen even though it has retuned engine and cvt trans
Does this also have the oil dilution problem?
Some have had issues.
Is this better than the toyota 86?
My 2016 touring sedan is pushing 16 pounds of boost after a tune and is doing well 😊
Well done Cody!
@@RaitisRides thank you. I'm afraid to do anymore performance mods because of people saying things about the transmission though 😕
@@codypannell9463do you still have the car?
Seen so many of these with a type R wing on it trying to run me. Come on 🤦🏻♂️
So have I! It's like who are you fooling!
Honda makes a factory spoiler/wing for these hatchbacks you can buy or order from thier parts dept. Replaces the top spoiler. It also differentiates a custom look other than the Type R or the SI spoilers. And its very easy to install, put it on my Sport Touring .
