I have the same exact same car. Couldn’t be any happier. Honda Dealers mark ups are a down side. I believe it’s the most expensive in its segment.
Love your videos! Got one a couple months ago the sport touring hatch and great for everyday errands!
I own a 2023 Civic Sport Touring,
and my friend just bought a 2024 Corolla.
I helped him choose, test drive, and everything.
I would say:
If you just want a daily commute car, Corolla is a very solid choice. It's very practical, it has a Hybrid engine and Toyota's Hybrid system is amazing. You cannot really go wrong with the Corolla.
If you want a fun car, join Civic camp
Civic is "a bit more" Corolla. It is a bit bigger (but not Camry yet), the Interior is better, it has more characteristics and is more fun to drive. Honda's handling is really good, it has great feedback and road response. I have been driving a Civic for more than a year and still love it and have fun every day.
The sad part for Civic is:
- It's more expensive than the Corolla
- It doesn't have a Hybrid powertrain (yet)
It might be more expensive, but just a couple thousand more compared to Corolla Hybrid XLE
They are also releasing the 2025 Civic Hybrid this summer
Facts you just explain why i like the civic way more than Toyota it is way better, but the ownership will kill your money, but luckily got some leftover money when i purchase it.
Couldn't agree more but the few thousand pricier than Corolla justified by the sportier and mightier powertrain..classy interior and more spacious.
P/S : I'm getting the hybrid Civic soon. Best of both worlds!
Ya know, Joe, a new guy that I work with, has a black 23 Civic Sport. He was kind enough to let me sit in his for a little while to check it out. You know what was the first thing I asked? I said, "Can I turn your climate control knobs?" He asked why, and I said someone I know said they have such a good quality to them they sound like turning a dial on a Wells Fargo safe, and I had to see for myself. Lol. I know it sounded weird. Trust me. 😅 You know Joe, it certainly is Wells Fargo safe approved 👍🏻, and it's very roomy on the inside. That was my first time in a new gen Civic. 5/5 🌟
That is so very fantastic Chris! Awesome of him to share his Civic with you.
I’m a dial person too and just bought a ‘24 civic. Turning a dial is firm but easy to actuate with very tactile feedback and a super satisfyingly chunky click. I 100% get it, you’re not the only weirdo 😅
Looking for a car right now have watched a bunch of your vids thank you so much, great content
Get Honda or Toyota
You are so very welcomed! Good luck with your search
I’ve had 4 Corollas. Great for economy, scary when it comes to acceleration. I’m going Civic in this case.
Ricer
@@Girlscouts81as if a Toyota isn't a ricer d1psh1t.😂😂😂
I have been on a streak of watching your videos. I have to say im glad i just subscribed your the best!!!
That is so awesome of you to say Jonathan!
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
Awesome video man! always look forward to seeing the next car review, Civic is not bad,
I would take the hatchback with a
manual transmission.
Nice review keep up the good work Joe
You got it my friend
Joe Raiti's is the man! My absolute fave automobile reviews!
Thanks for having my back brother!
He is the best !!!!!!!
As always Great review! We need that Honda ridgeline black edition review!!!
Wow nice car. Thanks for what you do Joe
1st one here I watch your videos all the time I love them!!!
Thank you for being super supportive!
Thank you,I just purchased the 2024 Honda civic touring metallic I love it,the gas mileage and the amenities are very high quality. THANK YOU RAITIS for the great review..I've had a 2013 Honda Accord and have not had any problems with it . Regular maintenance will keep your Honda running like a reliable vehicle.
I have a 2014 accord sport as well. is it an upgrade overall for the ride quality?
@@user-tx8in8xc3fI’ve driven both, I would say no to this
Amazing review Joe.
Raiti dropping gems during March Madness
18” wheels are better for touring and those ones look very nice. Touring customers want a quieter cabin while sport customer want value and aesthetics
The jokes take the review to a whole new level while keeping it professional😂
Keep them coming Joe🤜🏼🤛🏼
Agreed on the ventilated seats. It's not like Honda doesn't have the tech, it's available on the Accord. Hyundai/Kia and Toyota offer them on a bunch of models and most domestics from Ford and Chevrolet do too. I would guess Mazda will probably start offering them on more models in the future as they go more upscale too. Not a big ask for Honda to offer them as an option on the Civic.
Hey Joe wanted to give a clarification, the Sport DOES NOT have 19’s, the wheels are 18”, only the Integra provides an option for 19” wheels
Right. LX gets 16", EX gets 17", Sport and Touring gets 18".
i’m getting my first car tomorrow and it’s a 24 honda civic touring and this video is too good , just what i needed to know what i’m getting into . this guy’s so funny
That is awesome Kim! Congrats!
10:22 You know your history! That’s so cool, and it was even featured in the Toy Story movies!
Literally just bought this car last week, and I love it!
Oh wow, that is so very awesome! Congrats!
Me too. Picked up a red touring on Sunday.
@@alanrodriguez3011 heck yeah congrats!! I got mine in Lunar Silver. Man, the gas mileage is INSANE. Went over 450 miles on ONE tank. My previous car would only get like 11mpg so that is huge for me lmao.
Did any of you guys pay over msrp...
@@jazzyboy7784 I paid 2500 under
Some rear AC vents would be nice for the price
Especially that base model Kia Forte has them
Honda really nailed ergonomics in this generation. I like having big buttons and knobs. Some cars are moving towards putting far too many controls in touch screens or via haptic buttons. Honda keeps it simple and easy.
The bottom of the tray plate has a Civic logo, which is a good Easter egg detail.
I got the 2024 Honda Civic Sport and love it. So glad I traded in my 2019 Hyundai Elantra sport it was in the service department more then I had it 🤣
Yes of course Joe & this should be my daily.
That is so very awesome
For $32k I'm perfectly OK with a standard sunroof. That's a lot better than a Ford F-250 Lariat that costs $82000, and has NO sunroof. Just a lil something to put into perspective.
I looked at several Civics but ended up buying an Acura Integra A Spec trim and have no regrets.
I have the sport touring Hatchback 6speed. I love it. ALTHOUGH, i changed out the turn signal bulbs to LED, had to take off the whole assembly, and go figure, they broke from taking them off, they split open at the seam, plastic feels very very thin and fragile, and now i have condensation iside! So annoyed because the dealer wants $300 for each. Well, other than that, the car is great. Tons of space for the kids along with trunk space.
I changed out the bulbs very easily. It's delicate work though
In my opinion the interior door material and designs of my 10th gen rival the 11th gen, middle leather section is dressed up with after stitching, carbon fibre looking trim instead of gloss black, but everything else is a step up for sure
Joe, you say the one vehicle in the class that doesnt have the CVT is the Jetta. Are you overlooking the Mazda 3?
Got a 2022 civic touring sonic gray 🔥…runs great , sound system is perfect the car ride is a bit loud ? But overall I would buy this car again 👌🏽
This guy has the funniest car review videos hands down. He's not a ZONK!!!
K
I own a 2022 Honda civic touring red since New and love it.
Hello, is the base Integra CVT a better car here? Ride, fit and finish, handling?
Ok so I have 2023 sport and I would love the touring but with the sport wheels because I love them
Cannot go wrong with Civic 💪
Looks better than big brother Accord.
I don't know which one I like better. However, I think the Civic Sedan looks more like an Accord than a Civic. I prefer the more aggressive styling of the outgoing model, and am disappointed they toned down the styling. Why they made 2 models so similar idk. Still not a bad looking car, but a downgrade styling wise imo.
Great video but incorrect on the wheels. Both Sport and Touring trims have 18” wheels. Only difference is Sport is painted black aluminum alloy and Touring has machine faced dual tone aluminum alloy. Overall great review!
Joe, Any idea when the newly redesigned 2025 Civic will be released? I know they typically come out atleast a few months before the new year.
Wrong info on the Sport wheels. They're 18 also. C'MON Raiti!
Hey raiti, do you think the sport or touring is better I can’t decide , the sports looks are better for me
I've taken one out for three days and can say it is by far one of the best on the market. Felt great, drove great, no complaints from what I was able to experience. That being said, Mazda3 is still my #1
Just put my daughter's name on a 24 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback (to be built in Apr 2024) not with the CVT but with the 6MT ... with the upcoming Civic hybrids in '25 this might be the last iteration of the 6MT (exc for the TYPE-R if Honda continues it?) ... Thanks Keith Chicago IL
3:27 Haven’t heard of that or watched Titanic, but I’ll check it out! Thanks for telling me Joe!
You've never seen Titanic? DO you live under a rock lol jk
@@hattershouse710 I did see the scene where the ship sank
@@TheSpeedDemon64 the scene he is talking about happens near the very end of the movie.
It looks fairly fast here....what is the 0-60 time? Real world MPG?
Definitely, the civic has three drive styles, sport, eco,and I call it smooth it rides like a luxury vehicle in that mode.Its Definitely worth the purchase and the reliability. With gas fluctuations like they are its qorhthe reliability.
To be honest for 32k it doesn’t have that many options like memory seats and back buckets, it’s a a lot of money!
Love ya Steven love the Honda
I drove civic and corolla but ended up LE hybrid base model, cracks me up small stuff they take out to make it as cheap as possible
I really like the overall look of those civics Joe. They just don’t spare the horsepower I’d be looking for.
I just got a 24 Hatchback, and I love mine
Is it quiet inside?
@@les2997 I personally don’t notice virtually any road noise, but I also usually have my speakers going, and then I can never hear it at all
That’s so great to hear!
@@les2997great question
@@jacobcouch9886thanks for that great ownership experience
Looking at the Honda website, and I don’t see a Civic with 19 inch wheels. Both sport and touring models have 18 inch wheels.
I bought this car at the beginning of the year. I am extremely impressed by the 1.5t and CVT. It has convinced me that small turbocharged engines and CVT's are not the enemy! Lol. No but in all seriousness, it behaves so seamlessly and unobtrusively without any of the odd behavior that might have been present in CVT's 10 yrs ago. I do not feel any hesitation or delay. The same CANNOT be said for the 2.4/DCT combo I am also familiar with from Acura! There was often a lag when trying to accelerate quickly, ie merging on the highway.
Only issue so far is MPG not quite what it's supposed to be. Hopefully I just need to drive it a bit more??
My 2018 mph improved a lot after 30k and then went back to what it started as ...after 180k
@@Pler1978 Well, it's nice that you managed to put 180k miles on a 2018 vehicle! Mostly highway miles, I imagine?
Joe I crunched the numbers on this one: same ballpark as the GR86
Did they fixed the steering rack?
It was Rose not Ruth that threw the diamond over @3:26
I need to upgrade my 03 Civic.. I'm going Manual!!!! #SI
Sport comes with 18” wheels also. The difference is the sport are gloss black
It looks nice if I can’t get the hatchback sport touring I’ll get this one for sure.
The sport touring are 18” wheels not 19”…..still great review Joe! A little disappointed at the 32,000 price tag ….for a Civic!!!! OUCH. I wanted this to be my next car but there will be some heavy negotiation going on or I will walk. Prices are crazy !!!!
I bought a 24 civic, sport trim…one thing I wish I could change is the arm rests…they are all to low…Joe next time you sit in one, see if you think they are to low! Just a little annoyance, not a big deal.
In Canada you can get an si for 3k more or get a vw gli for 3k less and an estra 60 hp
My money is going civic. Hondas fwd system dominates in this class. Behind the wheel they’re fun to drive and handle well
The Civic is an icon! I like it!
One of the top selling cars of all time.
32 bills ? Not
For daily driving these are fantastic cars.
This is so very true!
That CVT makes way too much noise
No it doesn’t.
no its doesnt lol never had any problems @@MoeCamera
@@Bleseddd1regardless, these over cars for below average people I don’t want to be driving something that majority of ppl have especially if it’s slow
I daily one of these and it’s a solid little car! Only complaint is it’s noisy on the highway
I appreciate that ownership insight
The Civic hasn't been "little" for quite a while. I have a difficult time distinguishing the Civic and the Accord with this new Gen. The Civic is just so much bigger that I personally categorize it as a mid-size sedan.
I should also add that I drive a VW Golf, a true compact size vehicle, so I guess I'm basing sizes off what I drive
@@mwilging compared to most trucks and SUVs on the road it’s little. I also used to drive a full size SUV
Find Hondas in general pretty noisy on highway
Honda better bring that 12.3 infotainment for the refresh lol
ligtht bulb cheaper to replace than a whole tail light unit that has led"s
That small 1.5 turbo engine with a CVT scares me with long term reliability
Honda and Toyota reliability went down hill
I guess only time will tell
My wife's got a 2018 crv with the 1.5 and a cvt. So far so good. I do the oil changes myself tho every 5k miles. Good mobil1 stuff. Doesn't burn any oil yet. Also changed cvt Trans fluid at 55k. We r gna drive it to the ground so will see how far she lasts.
My honda city 2004 is still running until now with cvt transmission.. talking about reliablity.. i dont think i have to elaborate more..
@@RaitisRides, Just not on my time! 😅
Will you do a 2.0 with the six speed?
Awaiting the hybrid version
I am liking this Honda. I think they did a brilliant job on this particular model. Still not sure about these simulated shifts, but I am starting to accept the CVT for these eco cars. Another spot on review Mr. Raitti. 💙✌️😊
I like my 2016 way better than the new one. Come on Honda, step up your game as it feels like you’re going backwards
love the outgoing generation much better. It's not even a Civic, it's an Accord lol. ngl, it's a nice car in its own right, but still. Disappointed the styling has been toned down.
i love my 23’ civic hatch so much
Just got rid of my 2022 sport with the 2.0. CVT Transmission was already having issues, steering was sticking as well, oil leaks, etc. And barely 20k miles too, won’t be buying Honda anytime soon again.
Crazy to know that this has more than the SI
Anybody know when we will get a Honda Accord redesign. Current one is gross.
Hmmmmm Forte GT 2 201 HP and 7 speed twin clutch auto, with REAL paddles... and nice exhaust note.
Waiting to see the Civic hybrid.
I have a 2024 sport touring hatchback. How come in the sedan it’s called touring and not sport touring like in the hatch version? Does the hatchback have a different suspension than the sedan?
The Civic hatch is called the Civic Sport. The Civic sedan is just a Civic. So the hatch is called the Civic Sport Touring while the sedan is the Civic Touring. It's based on the body style, whether it's a sedan or a hatch, nothing to do with the suspension I don't think
I have a 2023 Civic Sport, and the wheel size is 18", not 19.
What about the very soft paint on this civic after a year or two it will blister and start to fall apart
No "ZONK" for the lack of rear seat vents?
I feel like this is def a nice equipped trim level but i owned the 23 model touring and for $30k + too much road noise and rough ride…this trim should be priced at $27k
YES! No doubt.
The sport and SI trims get the exhaust tips… literally makes no sense why they left it off the touring. The only thing I don’t like about mine
Toyota mostly beats Honda in pretty much every car these days, but in the compact sedan segment, the Civic beats the Corolla imo
The civic is so nice!!
I can’t wait for the 12th gen.
Waiting for the hybrid!
How much over MSRP is the Honda dealer ridiculously asking for this car?
when will the hybrid version come the the United States of America?
ON THROTTLE!!!!!
Both are reliable!
This is very true!
Got mine less than a year ago and already a recall on the power steering system being incorrectly installed. I got a 23, and I’m surprised Honda didn’t fix it for the 24 models… disappointing…
There’s almost no reason not to get the hatchback instead, aside from price. And only the Type R has 19 inch wheels; the Sport has 18s and the EX has 17s. The hatch LX has 16” alloys.
The hatchback looks better. I prefer the previous style. The hatchback actually passes as a Civic, kind of. This is more like an Accord than a Civic. Not that Accords are bad, but just styling wise, looks like it evolved from the Accord line rather than the Civic line.
I don't really get why they styled it like this. The coupe version is not bad, and don't get me wrong, this style is not bad either. But I much prefer the outgoing gen's aggressive styling, and wish they grew on that style rather than toning the style down. This looks more like an Accord than a Civic. 2024 Accord 2.0 lol. Like I said not a bad car, and I do like Accords as well, but I don't get why they styled it to look so much like another car in their own lineup.
