Hey, great video! I love the quality which your camera provides. I like the fact that you focus on every detail of the car :) Keep up the good work! I also love the Civic, of course. Greetings from Poland!
Great review, man! When I reviewed the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback EX I was very impressed. Now looking at the top of the line trim, it is just stunning as to how much Honda can actually pack into this vehicle! This vehicle definitely lives up to the name "Honda's Comeback" because this vehicle is very class competitive, if not, better than its competitors in many ways! I love how informative and genuine you where in this review! Keep up the great work! 😉 -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!" 🚘
The Civic EX has more standard features, and a more premium looking interior (at that price point) it would more likely compete with the Mazda3 over the 6
I agree, but you do have to keep in mind the Civics larger passenger volume rating and more fuel efficient rating. Also, the Civic has a larger trunk, if that matters. The interior of the Mazda's do have a very upscale look to them, though. They are very German in there design, and can possibly foul you into believing you payed much more than you actually did! Also, according to a lot of automotive journalists the Mazda3 is a blast to drive, as well as the Mazda 6. I would imagine the Civic is also pretty fun, but probably not as much. After all, I cannot comment to much about these vehciles driving dynamics since I haven't drove any of them, but I have reviewed the Honda Civic EX-T sedan and I was quite impressed. I hope this helps a little with your decision! 😉 -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"
Sucks though cause I really want the sound system.. Is the EX-L the same body? It is isn't it? Just minus a couple flare items. Cause that model has 8 speakers vs the weak 4 in the sport
only difference between the 2 is the sport has the exhaust pipes out the middle (ex still has dual) paddle shifters, and different rims, also 6 more hp. So yea, just minus a couple outside flair items, but you can get all the bells and whistles in the EX for under 24k ie: 8 speaker sound, remote start, heated seats, sunroof, push to start, etc.
I like the interior and the exterior lol I am not crazy about the rear exterior and not all the wheels combinations are nice but overall that look is amazing I find
Funny to see the difference between the US civic and European Ones. I tested a "Sport Plus" Civic (with manual gearbox), almost the same as this one, except the seats (not leather one) and carborn parts.
as a honda driver i apperciate the video. just when you go around the car do a cinematic slower so the astetics can be more appreciated. keep up the good work otherwise
awesome review.. i wish it wasn't so expensive to me.. but im actually getting this in the basic sport model or EX.. but the extra couple thousand makes it worth!
i just got my accord sport special edition same cost too the civic sport both are amazing but the accord overall is the dominated one test drove both if u like smaller cars the civic sport is where too go
Very nice review. You did speed through the rear hatch trunk section though. Do the fold down seats give a full flat bed extended trunk or is it not flat. That infotainment /instrument panel interface fonts and graphics design is hideous, I hope users can change it. Especially after seeing Apple CarPlay then having to switch back to Honda’s design. Please Honda, option a firmware upgrade just for better interface design. Take a look at the Hyundai Ioniq fonts, icons and inferface stylings, it sure would classup the Civic to next level but still retain the edge look. I do the love the body, trim and everything else on the civic Hatchback but inferface in 2017 when everyone in computer and mobile gadgets aware, this car interface looks out of place and stuck in computer inferface design for beginners… an element user have to deal with more than any other thing in the car should have gotten some more work. I might still get the Ex with all the tech, civic hatchback is still coming up ahead of all the other cars I’ve checked out.
this was a great video, very informative and I liked how you showed almost everything. I'm obsessed with this car, and I'm getting the ex version. I have a question for you, is it possible for the dealership to add the spoiler and the under body kid?
I'd like to hear more about the stereo system. I have a 2009 coupe with the premium sound and have loved having it for years. Would love to know how it compares.
If this car was AWD, I'd be on it like white on rice. Idk if I'll ever go back to a pure FWD car after driving SH-AWD. Nevertheless, I think Honda did a great job on this car
I just ordered one in Blue along with the blue illumination package. I was wondering if the LED lights on the key-less ignition, is that standard red as shown in your video, or is it possible to change that to blue to match the color scheme on the blue that I ordered. Great Video and Thanks!
This reminds me of the crosstour onlyaportier. Can this be considered a crossover? It certainly as practical as a crv which is also based on the civic. They both have a big cargo area.
I test drove this car today and really enjoyed it. However, there is really no place to put a bike rack due to the spoiler location and the dual exhaust. Do you have any suggestions for a bike rack on this car or would be putting after market roof racks be the only option. Otherwise the new Impreza may be the way to go for me even if it does have less power
Hello. I am not sure if this has been asked/answered before. But does the side mirror folds automatically when the car is turned off? It does not seem like it.....
Hey Bernie I have a question: when you say the sideview mirrors are power retractable do you mean they close and open with a push of a button? Or do they auto close and open?
Great video with great details, is it true that ground clearence of 128mm is a little bit lower? Did you had problems with the ground clearence? I have 135mm on Mazda 3 (2011) and in some situations I have to be careful(when leaving the road for parking outside - not paved parkings in the mountains for example) B.R. From Romania! :)
I almost downgarded my 2016 Camry XSE with honda civic hatchback..when took the civic for test drive, it was too low for me and it didn't 've power seat....unless the sport one has it..
I dont get why so much people complain about the exterior it looks great and its the reason why its a civic.
It used to be a ricer
I don't really like the interior!
I love the exterior, and I'm completely baffled at the comments by people who don't like it. To each their own I guess
My biggest complaint is the dark interior, I would love more lighter colors like cream or tan. I think the exterior rocks! I plan to buy one in 2021
@@mariae.santiago620 I would just but carbon fiber everywhere inside but that’s just me tho.
I think you are the first reveiwer who showed the LED lights front and back in a dark setting, thumbs up man
Glad to be the first!! Hope you enjoyed it!!
I want this car so badly
This is my dream car
It's a great car
I've already put a deposit down for the blue color. Can't wait!
This is the most informative video I have seen on the Touring! Thanks!
Thanks!! I try my best!
This video helped me decide the Touring was worth it. Order has been placed for a Red Sport touring hatch, should have it in March!
Great Color!
Eric B awesome, thanks for sharing the info
me too actually!!!
this guy is da real MVP, video covers so much
Thanks man
Best 22 minutes I've ever spent on RUclips! Well done video!! 😎👍🏼
Just got this car today although is used i really love it!
How do you like it after having it for some time?
I test drove this.. Very nice car... I went with the top trim mazda 3.. It was just overall the most premium.
Sport Touring Hatchback's start at $28,300!
Song I used: Cherokee - Take Care of You
ThatGearHead still wish they had a manual for the sport touring
I'm sure they'll add the manual option in a year or two which would essentially turn this car into an "Si Light" haha
Alex Kristían
They do offer it in standard I just signed for one today
miodragdobric In the United States?
That is the price of base wrx, damn they messed up.
Hey, great video! I love the quality which your camera provides. I like the fact that you focus on every detail of the car :) Keep up the good work! I also love the Civic, of course. Greetings from Poland!
Thank you! Glad to have viewers from other regions!
i test drove this car today i absolutely fell in love with it
I just feel in love with this car Bern😩
It's calling you, haha
The hump in the back on the floor is not the transmission tunnel, it is for the exhaust
That's definitely one good looking hatchback. Great video, Bern.
Thanks!
What a great reviewer I just bought a 2018 same model white
Excellent review with great quality of camera work! I wish this had AWD that would seal this car as perfect!
Thank you! I agree! I would've considered one for myself!

Thanks!! I was really impressed by it too, it's definitely one of my favorites in the segment, right against the new Mazda3 Hatch. Glad you liked it!!
ThatGearHead in your opinion, do you think the Honda Civic -> EX would still be better than the Mazda 3 or 6? Kinda stuck with the two brands. Thanks
The Civic EX has more standard features, and a more premium looking interior (at that price point) it would more likely compete with the Mazda3 over the 6
I agree, but you do have to keep in mind the Civics larger passenger volume rating and more fuel efficient rating. Also, the Civic has a larger trunk, if that matters.

The 3 is also a pretty attractive car itself. (Hatch or Sedan) The Civic and 3 are my top two Compact Sedan/Hatchbacks.
WOAH I'm so impressed by the automatic windshield wipers.
That beat is so peaceful in the beginning .. nice car tho
Cars like these are golden .. not Mercedes Porche this is underdawg success gives you everything too bad I'm broke enjoying this
Get to pick up my Sport CVT on thursday! Got it in the all black aswell.
Good looking car!
Sport cvt... cvt... cvt..., just pick the base trim for that reason haha
MonsterFuryGames do you have experience with the cvt transmissions? If so could you tell me more about it
The music intro, thumbs up man 👍... And a an austanding review. Great job
Thanks!
first time I saw this car on the road thought it was a super car. on point looks. trying to get my hands on one without going broke.
Just the Base Sport trim looks good like this too! Just doesn't come with the big screen
Sucks though cause I really want the sound system.. Is the EX-L the same body? It is isn't it? Just minus a couple flare items. Cause that model has 8 speakers vs the weak 4 in the sport
only difference between the 2 is the sport has the exhaust pipes out the middle (ex still has dual) paddle shifters, and different rims, also 6 more hp.

Great video! So informative! I am excited to get my new Sport Touring Civic!!
You'll love it!!
windlerunner1 how do you like your sport touring model after owning for few months? I just pick mine up earlier today 😊
I have the 2016 Honda Civic touring and I kinda wish I had the hatchback touring looks good in person
Yeah, they both look good in person
This guy is pretty good...strong review.
Thank you!
Very good review, nice job! I like this colour! And omg the front looks mad! it's a very nice car, good job Honda!
Thanks!
Buying this Thursday!!
Funny to see the difference between the US civic and European Ones. I tested a "Sport Plus" Civic (with manual gearbox), almost the same as this one, except the seats (not leather one) and carborn parts.
I Just got this car can't wait to pick it up
Your report is very good. I can undrestand it very well.
Oh wow you're in Silver Spring! haha instantly recognized 200 and 29
Haha, I sure am!
Michael Salgado Silver Spring MD?
Wow I can only hope that someday i'll own this beauty.
Nice review dude, couldn't think of a thing you left out.
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it
Wished we had the ivory leather on the hatchback here in Canada :(
Super informative, thank you
Glad you enjoyed!
Very comprehensive review. Nice job!
Thank you!
The sony a6000 is such a great camera! Well filmed i made some videos myself as well!
It is!
Very detailed review; covered all of the aspects an interested potential -buyer would want to know about !!! Great review overall !!!
Thanks!!
Damn so a lot of kids who were born between 05-10 are going to have a lot of nice cars to drive in once they get their licenses.
Beautiful Honda !! I like !! Excellent video !!
Thank you!! Me too!
Is the touring sport expensive on insurance for 21 year olds?
Best in depth review!
Thanks!!
OMG, really love this hatchback !!
Great review bro ! Day n Night
Thanks!!
I agree with other people..a very detailed review..thanks
Thank you!
looks sweet in black! thanks for the helpful vid!:)
Thanks!!
as a honda driver i apperciate the video. just when you go around the car do a cinematic slower so the astetics can be more appreciated. keep up the good work otherwise
Thank you!
Great video! Love it 👌🏼
Thanks!
Wow, good amount of information! Good job¥
Thanks!!
awesome review.. i wish it wasn't so expensive to me.. but im actually getting this in the basic sport model or EX.. but the extra couple thousand makes it worth!
The EX is the best choice, you get a lot of standard tech over the Sport
ThatGearHead would you prefer the crystal black pearl color or the white?
I prefer the white, I like the color contrast between the white body, and black grille, and dark wheels
Just a quick heads up guys; the sport touring is now available in manuel
Thanks for the review.I want this car😁
Thanks! It's great!
damn never thought I would want a civic. this is sweet
Very good review ❤
i cant wait to get this car !
i just got my accord sport special edition same cost too the civic sport both are amazing but the accord overall is the dominated one test drove both if u like smaller cars the civic sport is where too go
Thank you for the review sir .. i really like this
Thank you!
Great video - very helpful.
Thanks!
great video, very informative cheers !
Thanks!!
"ahh its a cute little horn" bruh stop it... Great Review though!

Thanks!!
Sounds good!
I think so too!
you are the luckiest guy ever!!!!!!

Thanks! Yep, just go to the dealership, and they should take care of you
Great video! I know it's early, but I wonder what changes they might be making for 2018 model?
Thanks! Honestly, we have no idea yet.
I'd like to hear more about the stereo system. I have a 2009 coupe with the premium sound and have loved having it for years. Would love to know how it compares.
The sound system sounds pretty good, especially in the Touring trim.
Production Quality x500 ;D
Thanks broo
Question: is it me or do some sport tourings have all metal accelerate and like yours it has a blue design accelerator?
If this car was AWD, I'd be on it like white on rice. Idk if I'll ever go back to a pure FWD car after driving SH-AWD. Nevertheless, I think Honda did a great job on this car
I would too!
ThatGearHead
Looks best in black because it camoflages (sp?) the ridiculous honeycomb plastic parts.
Beautiful car👌
I think so too
good review!
Thanks!!
I just ordered one in Blue along with the blue illumination package. I was wondering if the LED lights on the key-less ignition, is that standard red as shown in your video, or is it possible to change that to blue to match the color scheme on the blue that I ordered. Great Video and Thanks!
It's standard as red, I wish there was a way to, but that's how it comes. Great color choice!
just bought mines today!!!!!
Great Vid! Is the passenger seat electric as well?
I believe the passenger seat is 4-Way.
This reminds me of the crosstour onlyaportier. Can this be considered a crossover? It certainly as practical as a crv which is also based on the civic. They both have a big cargo area.
Im trying to pick one of these up if I can get the right price. Great review though. What song was that in the beginning?
Thanks! It's called "Take Care of You" by Cherokee. It's a remix of George Benson's "Love X Love"
I test drove this car today and really enjoyed it. However, there is really no place to put a bike rack due to the spoiler location and the dual exhaust. Do you have any suggestions for a bike rack on this car or would be putting after market roof racks be the only option. Otherwise the new Impreza may be the way to go for me even if it does have less power
An aftermarket roof rack would be the only way to get it to work. The Impreza would probably be the best out of the two to fit a bike rack though.
Just got the 2018 sport touring 11-10-17 for 27,500 out the door!!
Thats not bad at all!
should i get the manual or automatic like i love this type of civic
Manual for sure, if you enjoy driving
i wish the sport touring offered a manual tho :(
Hello. I am not sure if this has been asked/answered before. But does the side mirror folds automatically when the car is turned off? It does not seem like it.....
No, US spec Civic's don't have power folding mirrors. Not sure about the Canadian or European market though
Thank you!
It doesn't have the red accents on the bottom?
nice vid man love this.
Miguel Angel Medina Rise that's only for the HFP package..
Nice color
anybody know the name of the track in beginning of car reveal? the beat is phenomenal! ?????
It's called "Take Care of You" by Cherokee
nice review thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
is there a black leather seat version? :D nice video
Thanks! There is!
love this thing
Hey Bernie I have a question: when you say the sideview mirrors are power retractable do you mean they close and open with a push of a button? Or do they auto close and open?
Don’t exactly remember what i said, but the wing mirrors are only pwr adjustable, and manually fold
Bernie Question: is it me or do some sport tourings have all metal accelerate and like yours it has a blue design accelerator?
are you saying the sport touring does fold the wing mirrors??
Great video with great details, is it true that ground clearence of 128mm is a little bit lower? Did you had problems with the ground clearence? I have 135mm on Mazda 3 (2011) and in some situations I have to be careful(when leaving the road for parking outside - not paved parkings in the mountains for example) B.R. From Romania! :)
so basically you get the looks of the sport trim and the features of the Exl
Pretty much
For $5k more idk still debating
MONICO HERNANDEZ with tax the car is like 30k. I wouldn't pay 30k for a civic. could get a subaru wrx or a pre owned bmw or lexus
I was able to get the dealer to swing ALOT of the Sport Touring price. 26-27k is worth it. 30k..not so much
can i buy the ex hatchback with the Sensing option...i definitely want that option..great vid
Sure can. Glad you liked it
lets say i get the sport touring with the two tone seats....is it possible to go back to the dealership and get the leather?
people who buy new cars, how does it work? is there going to be a 2018 honda civic hatchback? and so on, or is it going to be a while for another?
Might cop 🤔
I'd do it
I wish they had a sport touring in a manual QQ
I almost downgarded my 2016 Camry XSE with honda civic hatchback..when took the civic for test drive, it was too low for me and it didn't 've power seat....unless the sport one has it..
