this is a super comprehensive review! the 11th gen Honda Civic is getting mostly nothing but SUPER positive feedback from car journalists to consumers. it's not the most luxurious in it's class *coughs in Mazda* but the Sport trim is a really good value, and I think the civic does being a car the best if that makes sense.
Yeah i have seen the new civic on the road and it looks more much better in person than in videos. The led headlights really make it stand out. The blue color looks really nice. Modern Honda cars look so good now. The 10th and 11th gen are really elegant and sporty. I would have never called a civic elegant looking 10 years ago.
The sport sedan hands down has to be the best one, love the styling and sportiness of it. Definitely agree with audi a3 comment, get a beautiful luxury looking car on budget. Msrp of $29k cdn for the '23 model, and falls just under touring here. Took one out for a test drive last summer, absolutely love it. Also in rallye red, which has to be the best color. Definitely going to be my go to when I upgrade to the 11th gen next year from my current driver a '19 lx sedan. I've owned that for 4 years now, and I love it. Civics are really amazing cars for the money. One last thing, Honda really upped their game with the 11th gen by making it more upscale. 👏🏻
Originally i wanted a truck, but used truck proces were so high in 2022 i wound up buying a 22 civic ex. Ive taken a few trucks for test drives since then and i just cant let the civic go.
I drive 2001 civic to and from work daily it has a 138,000 miles and it still get up and go 🤔 i can't see a modern 158hp engine being such a disappointment for commuting and daily use. Transportation can't alway be about power especially the base civic.
I have the 2022 civic sport hatch full HPD package in boost blue with the k20c2 with the OEM rain guards and wish I could post a pic of my gas mileage here….but….in normal mode, normal driving I get 36-37 mpg daily on side roads when using focus driving I am 39.2 mpg. Interstate is less with 35-36mpg and focus driving at 38.1mpg regularly. Perfect daily for work.
Love the review. I went a dealership the other day and they got so mad at me when I told him to tell me what’s the difference between the sport and sedan since the sedan comes with a sports mode. He got mad and walked away 😭. Eventually he came back but I’m like I didn’t even do anything 😭
With the 2.0 my 2016 cvt gets 44 mpg, and the 2020 manual gets a bit over 42. Just got my youngest son a 2022…the power delivery is much better and when you brake and try to step on it that massive hesitation with the cvt is gone. The 2.0 is one hell of an engine!
How was the experience buying a new car with the economy and the prices in the US right now? Were you able to find cars at the dealership and if so did you pay MSRP or over?
It's crazy how evey single dealership don't have this car and I want it so bad, luckily I got a call back today they found me one but I'm looking to spend over $30,000 🙄 everything went up smh
HI - which trim level are you getting? if you're getting the sports model you should be paying around 25,400. that is what the sports trim levels are priced at. If you are getting the touring trim level with the bose system and all, yes they go for 30,000. The dealerships know that some people are desperate to get a new car, and if you are young and know nothing about purchasing a car, they are just waiting to rip you off. Make sure to look at the model you want and check out the car sticker to see why you are paying 30,000. Good luck!
@@vah618 Yes the price was $25,600 but after TTL and the dealer package that I'm not sure if I even need it. The car will arrive in a couple of weeks I guess I will see then if they actually locked my price because I left a deposit and should of locked the price every where else I was looking to spend over $32,000 for the same exact car.
Pure idiocy for Honda to give the Sport the weaker engine, save that for the Touring. I'm considering the Forte GT because of such a weak engine in the Civic Sport.
All these trims have exactly the same suspension and brakes. Perfomance wise they are identical. The main difference is the 18" wheels with the Sport. The Touring is the top trim level, so it gets the 1.5L. Performance wise, the EX and Touring are the same with the 1.5. LX and Sport are the same with the 2.0. What's in the Sport that you have to have? You could also go for the Si which has ~200hp and is about $28K.
@@revmatchtv I like sport-auto trannies, they shift faster, and I'm not a purist that needs a manual. Would just be nice to put the better engine in the Sport model. I like the looks of it, the rims, handles great, less luxury interior, just want a barebones setup.
all sedans have grown in size over the years; the corolla now is the old camry. is this a coincidence based on the average weight of americans? (hint: it's not.)
Extremely disappointed with the Accord front and VW rear. It'll be a big hit with Del Webb Retirement Community who appreciate that conservative, "mature", look. I'm waiting for more excitement in the Gen Xll. Or maybe I'll go to Mazda/Toyota.
The Hatch comes in Sport Touring. This is the sedan. Sport and Touring are separate trim level in the sedan. Honda has made some silly naming choices to confuse us.
@@revmatchtv this is a interesting change up of pace for this section of car i wonder how other auto makers will follow up because Honda essentially gave this car a level up without saying it. i dont know how much more premium a civic could get at this point, i mean why by an accord or maxima when u can get a civic. it seems like they are pushing it towards higher models of cars in my opinion and i think the look says it all
Buyer beware. This civic already has problems stacking up. Brake pedal malfunction off showroom floor. Moisture build up in new LED headlight units…reliability slipping.
@@revmatchtv Yeah because they make the manual anymore except in hatchback or SI model. If you want just a basic 2 liter non turbo civic sedan, your out of luck.
Honda Automotive is a dead company walking. Honda’s inventory (at least in North America) is down 83 percent. In other words, Honda is running out of cars to sell. Be leery about purchasing anything new from Honda. If it goes under, who’ll honor the warranty?
Honda isn’t going under. They’re selling every car they can make. Just like every other manufacturer. Supply chain issues are real across the industry.

The 2022 civic does have a new look and it looks so much better than the past year have the same pearl withe car and have gotten manny compliments
My neighbor loved the color combo =)

Great review as always Eric! I'm really impressed with this new 11th gen Civic's exterior and interior. Honda knocked it off the park!
Thanks and they did!

Receiving mine in november, Civic Sport in Sonic Grey. Saw the color on a sunny day and the pearlescent effect on "mat" grey color was amazing !
Hello great review I purchased a 2024 Honda Civic sport
The honeycomb design pays homage to the original civics.
In my country, the civic is not considered a budget car. Its considered a premium car.
Prices vary a lot by country!
What’s your country in the mountains of Kandahar?
I like. Its mature and less sporty but sleek.
Originally i wanted a truck, but used truck proces were so high in 2022 i wound up buying a 22 civic ex. Ive taken a few trucks for test drives since then and i just cant let the civic go.
Good review man - I just bought one
Good choice!
@@revmatchtv I've VERY impressed with the handling and ride. All the convenience features are great. So easy to drive around town.
What do you think is the easiest colour to maintain SGP, White or Meteor Grey? Great review btw!
Grey will show dirt least I think.

This is going to be a great car for a lot of people that does everything and isn’t a CUV.
Forte GT has 200hp and a few K cheaper. At least keep the older 180hp engine in it from previous gen. 158 is pathetic.
@@acjohn6995 forte gt is awesome

I imagine Honda civic will be in five years Almost like a tesla with the cruise control.

Dealers… glad you enjoyed this!
The Sport is the sweet spot. Moving to the 1.5T engine is asking for trouble.
I like it, but I much prefer the 1.5 engine overall for driving enjoyment.
@@revmatchtv No doubt, it’s reliability/ longevity versus driving enjoyment.
I got about 45 miles a gallon in my 2019 Honda Civic sport 2.0 liter on the highway for a while
With the 2.0 my 2016 cvt gets 44 mpg, and the 2020 manual gets a bit over 42. Just got my youngest son a 2022…the power delivery is much better and when you brake and try to step on it that massive hesitation with the cvt is gone. The 2.0 is one hell of an engine!

Excellent review!
Glad you liked it!
Canada offers 6 SPD manual in hatch and sedan si.
It’s called herringbone texture, not houndstooth, that was a 70s textile print.
6:45 That's all I need to know. I'm sold.
ha! I need to do this more!
Lmao already calling out the scat pack owners at 4:30
Where did you get spoiler? It look very nice
It's a press car from Honda. I believe you can order the spoiler at a Honda dealer.
good luck. Hope you get what you want!
Where does the Mazda3 sit next to it?
The interior in the Civic is much nicer. It feels more premium.
Love this car
It's crazy how evey single dealership don't have this car and I want it so bad, luckily I got a call back today they found me one but I'm looking to spend over $30,000 🙄 everything went up smh
Dang!

That car has a trunk yet has a spoiler that has a hatch insignia on it ?
: What do you know about the 2023?

Will world accept me if I wished there was a Si with an Automatic Transmission? 🙈
VTEC didn’t kick in yo 3:44
Good times from the past!
How Were The Paddles?
The 1.5 turbo still has oil dilution problems
How is the engine power
You can see it in the review mid way. It will be fine for most buyers, but I like the 1.5 turbo engine better.
It’s freaking huge it looks like and just as big as the accord. What happens to being a compact car. Might as well get the accord.
Actually it’s smaller than the current Accord. It’s about the same size as a 2000 Accord.
The current Accord’s actually 12+ inches longer depending on the model
all sedans have grown in size over the years; the corolla now is the old camry. is this a coincidence based on the average weight of americans? (hint: it's not.)

Every generation seems to get a bit more 'refined'. I think the trend will continue.
The Si makes 200 + hp
Dude this is a sport touring??
The Hatch comes in Sport Touring. This is the sedan. Sport and Touring are separate trim level in the sedan. Honda has made some silly naming choices to confuse us.
@@revmatchtv haha yup just got my new civic sport in wensday waited 3 months for it to be built and delivered lol
@@zookwrld Congrats. 3 months is not bad!
The sperm whale for the hood looks ok, i lile how it looks like 2016 accord all over
The grill will come with different patterns over time depending on model. For example the Si has a different look

Beautiful car not sure why your bashing it
Buyer beware. This civic already has problems stacking up. Brake pedal malfunction off showroom floor. Moisture build up in new LED headlight units…reliability slipping.
I wish Honda could come up with a Civic Cross soon.
*Cross* your fingers ;)
👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏
The junk CVT transmission is a deal breaker. When Honda stopped offering the 6 speed manual in the sport sedan, they ruined it. No thanks.
Nearly all sales are with the CVT. The manual in the hatch is quite decent: ruclips.net/video/egE7MN8ldZc/видео.html

People aren’t paying 10,000+ over MRSP because Honda is going under😅.
