9 THINGS I WISH I KNEW ABOUT THE 2017 CIVIC (BEFORE I BOUGHT IT)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- The 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring Model with Manual Transmission is an impressive vehicle. Leather seats, 6 speeds, turbo engine, and all the modern amenities. Here are 9 things (plus one bonus thing) that I wish I had found out before I bought it.
I am not sure if these would have actually changed my purchasing decision, the 2017 Honda Civic is pretty awesome, but it would have set my expectations accurately.

it's a lot better than the vista cruiser you drove in that 70's show, foreman
LOL
LOL you can Literally cruuuise the vistas
BWAHAHAHHHA
😂
4:00 rev hang is actually a great thing for both when you upshifting (holds turbo spinning) and downshifting (without double clutching). It is more smooth when you coupling clutch to rev up engine a little bit, not from idle.
Some internet nitwits might not see the sarcasm for the love that I do, mate. You helped me solidify the choice to buy one. Champion!
Thanks Dennis. No shortage of nitwits out there.
Good luck with your new car!
The does open the trunk......you have to hold it for 5 seconds
exactly
Wat....
thanks!
Yep. Even my Goldwing works that way. The keyfob on mine actually says "hold" on it to tell you.
I LOVE my Civic. It's an amazing car.
I have had the civic for about a month and in my dealership they didn't have it manual. but with that being said, it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. *bonus* not many people have it where I'm from so it just makes me get stopped more and be given compliments, also the females love it
Me too!! I have been getting a lot of approval nods from the Volkswagen guys.
I bought one few weeks ago. Awesome car, driving it is a true pleasure, so smooth.
David Antunes same here!!!
@Ferrari GTO84 I just got a 2018 civic hatchback sport manual transmission.
Is it normal to hear the metal clicking down your car when you shifts guears? Lol i know its a Dumb question
Still have?
It dosent have a blow off sound because a open to atmosphere bov is just a waste of air when it could be used as recirculation to reduce turbo lag during shifting.
Thanks for the video. I'm thinking of getting one as my next car.
FYI instead of a blowoff valve, it has a recalculate valve that puts the excess air back into the intake instead of venting it to the engine compartment. My WRX has one
I didn't realize the sport touring was available in manual. it was my understanding the sport was a dressed up LX model with manual 6 speed, and the Sport Touring is a dressed up EXL with CVT and paddle shifters.
I say this as a Honda PDI technician. I am the guy that preps all the new cars at a Honda dealership. I can find no way to.purchase the car that you have. If you want manual transmission and a turbo engine you get a lowgrade radio and no navigation as a Sport model hatchback ., or you get a CVT. with all the extras as a Sport Touring.. Manual transmission not available with a bells and whistles package.
Now I know. You're a Canook, eh! Not available in USA. I guess I need to find my Canadian birth certificate and move back home!!!
All Canadian-Spec Civics are better equipped than their US equivalent. For example, in the US, the Sport is based on the (US) LX. In Canada, the equipment level is on par (and more) with the EX-T Sedan. (Same with the Si BTW)
And yes, the Sport Touring is available with Manual Trans in Canada (My wife drives one)

What's the point of the hatch button on the key fob then? Sounded like you didn't press and hold it
In one of the comments, he said it doesn't work even when you hold it. Honestly, the civic looks like a beetle than a sedan and eats more gas than a corolla.
There may be a difference between the hatchback and a real "trunk". You don't want a hatch to pop open accidentally, but a trunk opening isn't really a problem.
I loved the video, subscribed. Also the humour is on point 😂
Not into tactile displays. That last thing I need is another thing in a vehicle to distract me. So to compensate I just don't get the display and simply use a third party bluetooth receiver and tune my radio in to it and just keep it on that station when I want to listen to playlists on my mobile cellular telephone. Mostly I just listen to the radio though. Heh. Great video. Thanks for the mini tour and info.
I installed a Mugen shift knob on my 2017 6MT ST Civic Hatch. Just buy the proper boot adapter off Amazon for cheap. Take the trim pieces off and cut the zip tie holding the stock chrome boot ring and install the new adapter. With this set up I can now install ANY shift knob I want.
Awesome. Any chance you can provide a link to the shift boot adapter?

Pics on p7, links on p8
Thanks! That's perfect. I guess another video is in order...
Lifetime Honda owner here.... I bought an Accord EXL. Love it... until I want to down shift to second and pop the clutch. I just make the sound effects and pretend. I feel your pain. Super sharp car, btw.
Thanks Andrea.
Had mine just over 3 years. Only 23000 miles on clock. Drivers seat cushion as hard as hell. I now sit on a piece of foam😒 I also own a 20 year old Smart car with nearly 80000 miles on clock, and still the seat is comfy
This generations civic is just huge...its basically the size of an accord, which I like
This was pretty entertaining, thanks
Thanks Mythu!
WAIT A MINUTE! Is that a sport hatch with a manual, leather AND moonroof? What kind of witchcraft is this???
Looks like this dude is from Canada. And they have Sport Touring with manual there
Wow that sucks
Contemplating going to Canada to buy a car....
So what, I am from europe, we can choose auto or manual, leather or cloth and sunroof
The rev hang really puts a damper on things.
It's those little things you don't think about until later. Thinking about one and I found this helpful. Thanks!
Your welcome Kevin. Good luck with your new car purchase!
You can read your owners manual in the HondaLink app.
I had an accord and i traded it for a civic EXT and I love it 51 highway for long trips 30 cities the only thing as usual Honda seating
Hey im about to get a ext , has it still been a good car for you in long term ?
I have a 2016 sedan and I’ve been having issues with the stereo basically since the first day I bought it
How did this end up going?
the key does open the boot/trunk. you're meant to hold it down for a second.
not available in manual in australia. i have cvt , and sports mode paddle shift. a little bit of lag with cvt, but in sports mode it is great and very responsive.
Awesome Civic! I can't wait to get one! By the way, you're very entertaining! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)
Thanks Julian.
I am so happy you made this video. I was just looking at the new 2018 Honda Accord with the 252hp 4 cylinder engine and a 6 speed manual or the 10 speed automatic if it shifts anything like my BMW M3 7spd DCT :) NOT!! But I will look at both. The reason I need a car soon is because I sold my M3 and I have owned 6 BMW's and I'm done with BMW and paying $50 to $80k. I use to sell Honda's and BMW's but I haven't sold these car since 2007 so a lot has changed for sure. Honda doesn't change very fast and does things only to keep up with Nissan, Toyota and all these makers including Hyundai get ALL of their high end ideas from Mercedes and BMW. One thing that I know Honda has that BMW or Mercedes does not have is when you the driver pushes the turn signal and the camera shows on the screen who's next to you. But all the real advanced things always really do come from the German's. A buddy of mine bought a M5 with Night Vision which many couldn't care less about but there are drivers that can't live without it. I had no idea that many people "hate" driving at night for many reasons and one of them is not seeing but also anxiety. Go figure. Anyway, this video is well done and funny to watch and I see you put some fun to it. So I just saw last week that the Civic Si is nothing to write home about so I was looking at the Civic Type R but good God it is ugly AF!!
After watching your video and some consideration I am going to go ahead and do what most people do and is just get the 2018 even if there are going to be many problems with it for the people who but the first year models. Just like when the new iPhone 8 comes out, rest assured the phone will kick ass but within a few days people will bitch and moan about what's wrong with the smallest thing or how the color is a finger print magnet or how much it sucks to use the phone underwater. Due to your video, I am not going to buy a Civic Touring which was also on the buying list. Since today is the last day of the month, I was going to go into the dealer and go right before they close and get a new one below invoice. I sold cars for 10 1/2 years and these cars go for under invoice but the 2018 Accord will not.....Well at least for 3 to 6 months depending on how consumers buy up the car or not. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS COOL VIDEO!!
Wait..... They make a sport touring with a manual gearbox.? Thought sport touring only came in a cvt.?
Graham you did not mention the low tire pressure indicator giving false readings, apparently a common problem with Hondas. We do love the car though and will buy another.
Thanks, good point.
....saw no mention of the really impressive fuel efficiency potential for this turbo 6M (talk about a missed opportunity!)
I live in BC too. I'm picking mine up on Thurs. unfortunately it will be CVT couldn't find a manual. Got $1000 knocked off the price though.
Cristhian Mejia you got pounded you can always go wayyy lower than that
Thank you for the videos! Just blew the motor on my 2009 Honda Civic 2009 EX 4 door. All in all got a Civic 2017 4 door SI (First stick shift). Haha they didn't have the Civic sport at the Dealer in Los Angeles.
Aaron Macadangdang should have came to me, we had a few Sport manuals in stock in West Covina! Civic Si is a fun car too though!
I love the white! Gives it an aggressive storm trooper look! I'm actually thinking of getting the hatchback sport.... Assuming I can save for a solid down payment and my current 06 civic doesn't die on me before I can trade it in... Wait a min! I can use the trade in monies as a down payment!
How do you turn off navigation or GPS in this car? Is there a way to turn it off? Please help. Thanks
My car also has a push button above the right side of license plate that I can use to open. This button has a relay that went bad and they told me to first open passenger side door, then use push button on trunk. Ridiculous... To open the trunk with key fob, I have to press and HOLD unlock button. I usually open trunk with lever on left side of driver's seat. Hope this helps.
he acts like these are things you wouldn't find out from looking at it at a dealer XD
Why would you waste time going to a dealer when you can watch a video about it? If you find out at a dealership, it is too late.
I meant for him, he's acting like he didn't find all these things out until he made the purchase and drove it for a little bit. all these things he would have known about before he drive home
This is a middle-aged man driving a Civic...that should tell you everything
Yeah good luck testing all this out while the dealer is too busy talking shit trying to get the hard sell
what about the lack of a garage door opener in the headliner OR a light in the deep pocketed glove box OR what about all the vibration noises coming from different locations in the cabin. you would think that garage openers and glove box lighting would be standard
The outdoor review mirrors give you false distance of other cars behind you, eg:- cars look far behind you when really they are only about 30 to 40 feet by your inside review mirror very dangerous when changing lanes.
I agree with that electric brake is a little bit stupid, but come on all new cars have electric brake.
Blow off ventil hmm, which car have blow off ventil which make sound, honestly you can buy it and upgrade it.
Shift knob you can buy which you want and you can upgrade it. I bought Mugen red carbon and fits perfect :D
I can hear the turbo spool now that I'm at 8000km . but before that there wasn't much of a noise
I hope that happens for mine too. I love turbo sounds.
Test drove this car ... Very compact inside ... Went wit a v6 2017 accord sedan ...
Has anyone tried shifting and ignoring the rev hang? I feel the computer will compensate and when you slide into gear the revs will automatically begin to drop. Or when engaging the clutch perhaps? There has to be some sort of way to shift quickly and the car stop the rev hang.
Where do live that you have a manual in a sport touring civic hatch? US doesnt have this option.
Here is what I found: ruclips.net/video/pukJ09P2Or4/видео.html
2013MazdaCX5
looks like Canada. They get better cars than the US
2013MazdaCX5 where do you live
The US has a manual option, you have to order it
I talked to Honda and they said I could not order the Sport Touring with a manual
At least you can have a manual transmission in the sport touring hatch.. Not available in the US
I feel like the head unit is the one weakness. It's beyond slow. I'll be switching that out as soon as I get mine.
Did you switch it, and with what? Because you are right - it slow!
Apple Carplay, problem solved
Love the ending. Maybe some text list to go with your 9 points. Im looking for a car for my wife. Civic has some issues. 1 no mem seat, but supposedly thats a luxury feature. 2. Like the sports version in Aus but it doesn't come with built in nav for that model only in the VTi Lx model or touring in US. You need to use phones gps. No volume knob. That HVAC no buttons would annoy us as well. So we like features overall of the top spec, but the twin tail pipe of sports is better looking. Now looking at Hyundai i30 now. More conservative looking like a golf, but looks to be more conventional like inside with functions. Also with civic we do wonder the longevity of the central TFT screen. Whats wrong with physical dials. Less things to go wrong. Be a nightmare to fix screen, and costly if after warranty period.
Unfortunately rev hang is a common problem among modern vehicles with manual transmission. Guess we have to live with it.
Great Video! You have a great sense of humor!
It appears- from photo's that if i buy a 2015 I get a handbrake? I am looking for a sunroof, manual with a old fashioned handbrake. If anyone can help- please advise.
Interesting review....I am holding out until the 18 model year. I want the Civic Hatch sport touring edition. However, I want a real blind spot detection system (not lane watch) and cross path detection as well. Hopefully they will add those two features.
I hope they add those for you.
Good luck
I have the EX-T model, 2017. I went from the 2009 Civic si- amazing car. Love my new car as well! But, it's missing a few things I miss from my SI- the sound system... this car is SO weak in the sound department! Anyone else? Suggestions? There is no audio places in my area.
That's too bad. Mine came with the 540 watt system, it's pretty good, even though I don't blast music like I used to in my youth.
old shift knobs fit without any problem
From my understanding, this generation has a different system to mount the boot to the shift knob, and that you would need a new shift knob compatible with the new mounting system. Boomba Racing has one, and I even think they have a video showing the disassembly and reassembly.
ruclips.net/video/X4p9gRdPXK0/видео.html
The threads are the same, but someone needs to come up with a separate mounting system to hold the boot to the shift knob if we are to use an old civic compatible shift knob.
I like your video editing, Honda fan here :)
Thanks for the compliment. Much appreciated.
Your supposed to press the trunk button for a couple of seconds. Also I’m actually pretty confused about your key fob. I have the 2017 Civic sedan and I have the remote start button on the fob. You said you had the hatch back at the highest trim level. The touring. Why didn’t you have that? I live in the us and I know sometimes the specs are different in different countries. Is that why?
I does open the trunk but you have to hold it, what it you accidentally pressed the button while driving? Then yo trunk would be open
You forgot to mention the lack luster Torque.
My key fob opens my trunk... 2014 Civic Coupe EX
Thanks. I think mine is defective. Going to the dealer (again) when I get some time.
yeah but it work on mine (2016) but it is a sedan
Is the Sport Touring with manual transmission only available in Canada? I can't seem to find it on the Honda Website if I tried to build one.
Hi Jeremy. This can change, but here is what I found out so far: ruclips.net/video/pukJ09P2Or4/видео.html
To open the hatch...you need to hold the button, not press it
Did you get this from Campus Honda? I'm going to go test drive one this weekend. I'm not 100% decided on trim level yet, but probably the same as you have but with the CVT. I would consider the manual if I didn't have to drive in Colwood crawl traffic every day.
Did you consider the Mazda 3 or any other sporty hatches? If so what made you decide on the Civic?
Pointy End yes I did. I like the 1.5 turbo engine, a lot. That and the value in the trim package sealed the deal for me. My other considerations were Volkswagon and used BMW or Audi.
New civic fit everything just right as a family/fun vehicle.
Good luck with the new car.
Good content here, great video!
Steve Olp Thanks!
I have the coupe with the turbo and you can hear the turbo when you let off the gas after accelerating very easily.. even had some friends in it for the first time notice it right away and ask if it was turbocharged because they heard the blow off. Strange you say yours doesn't do it
I wish mine sounded cool. Mine is nearly silent.
Why did you blur your license plate? We all know you live in victoria bc
I'm waiting for next generation Civic. I want no turbo, no CVT! I want less technology and more buttons!
Do you have to press the key fob every time you want to open boot or do you just have to have key near it and the press unlatch button on boot itself. I don't have a problem with latter, but having to press key then the button on boot would be annoying. Maybe you could do a video on the 10 things you like. I like the cap less fuel spout. Have that on my Renault RS265. Its like you can fuel pitstop.
Simon L great idea Simon. Maybe for one of my next videos. The trunk issue is a strange one. Normally pressing the trunk release on the remote would open the latch (on most cars), allowing you to open the hatch with your elbow, knee, hip, or any other way you can if your hands are full. I didn't see a point to having a button that only unlocks the trunk, yet you still have to use your hand to press the open button on the trunk.
Btw, if the fob is near the trunk it will allow you to open without unlocking first.
My RS265 is the same for rear proximity unlocking, but you still have to press button on boot and lift up. I think its all due to boot lid weight. Probably no gas struts strong enough to make it open enough unless motorised. The sedan version is lighter, so can lift up easier.
Possibly. Still, I wish the button would unlatch it so that I could lift it without having to hit the button with my hand. Oh well, it is what it is, and it is pretty awesome.
Becareful with lane departure if your the type of driver that don't or forget to signal before switching lanes it can really mess you up probably getting into a wrecked..so if your that type of driver I recommend it should be turn off..I almost wreck with lane departure on and the side mirror is just to damn big..I can't see where I'm going while turning left.
Use your turn signal when changing lanes! It's that easy!
I was really excited that they came out the the hatch in the turbo manual configuration the one I test drove was a lower model sport it had the same radio Set up as my brothers 2012 civic si which was kinda of disappointing, the power numbers sound good but it didn't feel quick even when you try to load the turbo I wanted to love the civic hatch so much but it just seems like Honda could've added more features or actual sport into it but I'm sure they made sure they left room on the table for the civic si and the civic type R
I ended up getting a base 2017 wrx instead super fun to drive everyday especially dealing with traffic when you need the power it's there
Nice car. Enjoy
I love ur energy man😂
I own a 2016 and 2017, both automatic. Try pressing on the brakes fairly hard then immediately try accelerating. The response time is ridiculous and dangerous!
I hate power seats.
Is it really that difficult to pull up handle?
my o4 prius has keyless trunk open dont have to press nothing, top speed 108 its slow but good on gas and it gets going once its going lol
Great video!!!valid points!!love the new ride!!
Thanks 11tmarsh! Cheers
My 8th gen manual accord rev hangs too :(((
Cool Android 4 inside the radio
Great review 😎
Thanks
Nice video!
Richard Lawler Thanks
Uhhh yup still gonna get it
been looking at a couple automatic 2017 civic ex hatchback. love both i’ve looked at but engines have a loud rattle to it. is that normal for this car??
I WANT ONE SO BAD.
Huh, that settings menu looks like a custom android build similar to how the Nintendo Switch developed their system. I wonder how airgapped the OS is from the phone USB input, it might be possible to load custom firmware. Not that you’d want to though unless you want to brick your electronics package
Power seats suck without memory... three memory options should be standard.
How did you get leather seats with a manual transmission?
Ironically, the car's stereo doesn't play CDs, yet it comes with a CD!! I am leasing one this week. Black on black EX-L
Nick K. haha. I know. Bizarre irony. Good luck with the new car.
how did you get the sport touring edition with a manual transmission?
What made you choose the sport over the si..?
Edgar Vargas thx for watching. When I bought this car the SI was still 6 months away with no defined specs. I figured they would both use the same power plant and that a software update would get me si performance if I wanted. Other than that it was cheaper than the si.
Graham Lancaster I'm getting one by December but I'm still debating between the sport or the si. the price is not an issue here. any suggestions or recommendations if you may... would be very helpful thanks. .
Hey Graham, just bought a new 2017 hatch ex-l w/ sensing and I noticed my volume slider on the steering wheel doesn't work. Searched the interwebs and it seems I 'm not the only one with this problem, however other countries civic hatch's seem to have the ability. I'm in the U.S. and no go. does it work for you or are you stuck with the pressing of the slider as well. Seems like an oversight by Honda. No mention of this in the manual. Thanks for any info.
Mine also doesn't work as a slider. Sales guy said that the hatchbacks from the UK don't put this in. Kind of lame.
You have to hold the trunk door button for about a few seconds go it to open my dude
Electric handbrake is stupid.
necessary for brake hold and low speed follow
how are you going to start on a steep hill smoothly? With a hand brake, you can release it slowly according to how much clutch/gas to give so you won't roll back.
You hold the normal brake loose enough to slide backward while slowly engaging the clutch. When the car stops sliding, you've engaged the clutch enough to release the brake completely. Then gas in clutch out.
you must live in Texas
Not only stupid, it will make me buy another car, the one that has hand brake
Great info. The filming gives me motion sickness.
question, canadian models dont come with remote start?
rayyrayykun only if you get the automatic transmission. Not worth it. i love shifting gears on the twisty roads
oh right, sorry my stupid mistake... I have the auto so it was odd seeing your key without the starter. btw, i felt the same regarding the cd...
very informative, thank you.
Thanks
Not sure knowing about these things before you bought it would make any difference. Do your research before buying a car?
I love mine too. Can you tell me if the sideview mirrors fold in for tight spaces or car wash?
My mirrors folded forward in the car wash when the spinning brushes hit it! Rather annoying!
It's a low $20k, power seat memory is not normal in the price range.
Has anybody had trouble popping open fuel door?
Only when the doors are locked. Locking the doors also locks the gas door.
rev hang helps with rev matching
do you didnt do any research before purchase?
Please make a vid about the rear wiper. And if it’s usful please demo
Sport touring + manual transmission? I thought only the sport had the manual and the touring only came as a cvt
NORB CREW I am in Canada. We lucked out and got trim levels like the Europeans. Full leather, navigation, and all available premium features are available with a manual, but only in the hatchback. Hopefully Honda smartens up and makes this available in the US soon.
Graham Lancaster that is so sick! I might have to go to Canada to pick one up 😭
How does the Honda sensing work on a manual? If you are using ACC, it can't shift gears and wouldn't the car die if it has to do an emergency stop with the CMBS?
I was playing with the ACC the other day on the same car and trim. It really only works on the freeway. It can't vary the speed as much as if you were in a CVT but quite honestly - If you were to vary the speed that much you may as well be driving it. - However. I was able to downshift while the ACC was running. If you hold the clutch in too long - it turns off the ACC.
Interesting. Kinda takes the utility out of the ACC. I have a touring sedan and ACC is hands down my favorite feature of the car. Just set it and forget it, never really need to manually slow down. I went to Seattle last weekend and there are several speed changes over the mountain pass. I like that as long as I'm behind another car, it adjusts the speed automatically. Does the manual have CMBS?
....waiting for the hatch to arrive in New Zealand. Planning on trading my 2012 Civic hatch (also UK built).
I had to wait quite a bit too. I originally bought a Sport model, and after waiting for 2 months with no delivery date in sight I bought the more expensive Sport Touring that arrived instead. Happy I did though, that leather is really nice.
better choice I think as the sport model isn't so well equipped if I'm not wrong? Although we haven't had an update on spec yet, I think we won't be getting manual here and the model you have will be badged as an RS.
Yes. The sport model was more sparsely equipped. The manual is big for me. Good luck with your upcoming new Civic. It really is an exciting vehicle.
