@@dillonm6777 Don't be offended. It's a known fact that a Honda Civic is often seen in some of the most dull and drab colors for a car. At least the vivid "Highlighter Yellow" of this particular Honda Civic helps the driver stand out from the crowd instead of blending in. An added bonus of a bright color like this is that you will never have any trouble spotting your Honda Civic in a parking lot ever again.
Owner perspective: the head unit is fine. It drives way more expensive than it is. The interior definitely lacks on storage space, even with the big center console because the sliding cup holders take up so much of that space. The car is quick, handling blows me away, fuel economy is great even with the turbo. I got 43 mpg on an 800 mile trip with lots of hills at around 70-80 mph, and average 32-35 each tank, mostly suburban driving. I have the hatchback and would recommend it because it blacks out all of the chrome and plastic trim, and the trunk space is always useful. I bought it thinking that it was kind of ugly but it has 3000% grown on me.
I still like my '16 Touring sedan. I replaced the OEM 215s with 225s and my mileage has dropped a little, but still gets 38-40 mpg on mostly highway driving. The performance is surprisingly good and will definitely get out of it's own way. I find the safety tech WAY too aggressive and turned off lane keeping assist and collision mitigation, as it almost got me into a wreck vs preventing. Good value overall. Thanks for the updated review.
I like this new Tonic Yellow but... I loved the Energy Green colour! I think the coupe is the best looking Civic right now, the taillights are so awesome and they really look great at night! That being said I owned a 2016 Honda Civic EX-T, I live in Canada so I had oil dilution, I was in and out of the dealer constantly that winter and they couldn't figure it out. I got rid of it before the issue was made public and saved myself from the hit the resale value took. I never thought I would have to say that about a new Honda, I was very disappointed so I got a 2017 Mazda 6, and it's way more reliable. I hope they fixed the issues for 2019+.
Good points. I never experienced the dilution issue in mine (knock on wood) but it is something I worry about. Very surprised Honda would have such a huge mistake in one of their most widely used engines.
There's a mechanic RUclipsr called Scottie kilmer channel, he explained the issue with the oil dilution in modern cars, is not just Honda!! I recommend check his video out
@@caglioso It's more likely to happen during short trips where the engine doesn't get to fully warm up, and especially in cold climates, like Canada half the year. If it really just is a tuning issue great but still foolish, Canada is one of the biggest Honda Civic markets. It's been Canada's #1 selling car for 20 years in a row. If you live in a city you can't go a day without seeing multiple Honda Civics. Honda needs to remember their roots and refocus on quality and reliability. They need to do better for their customers. I hope yours turns out to be traditional, reliable Honda.
Been watching your reviews for years. I was serious when I said that none compare to yours. Razor focused and the straight truth. BTW...I'm a Nissan guy but was pissed when they told you no room for you at the Altima Presser. Sorry to say that Nissan (like their cars lately) are just a step or two disconnected from achieving greatness...why is this. Please let me know if you have any insight on this.... stay true to your style because you are one of the great auto journalists...I'd love to se a once monthly or maybe quarterly show where you cut loose and let go. Maybe a roadtrip extended review? Youd do great!
It feels great but they really should have a reverse lockout, it's so easy to push it into reverse when going into 6th if you aren't careful. And dont start with that "learn to drive manual" bullshit, I've been driving a 2003 civic 5 speed for 10 years. Almost every manufacturer that makes a manual these days has a reverse lockout EXCEPT Honda.
james baker I’m not sure which model you have (I’m assuming one of the base models), but my Si not only has a reverse lockout but it also won’t let you into 1st gear if you’re going above a certain speed. I assumed there would be a lockout on all trim levels
I hope automakers don't stop making their own navigation systems. When your phone starts glitching and going out of service like my phone does or when you're just in an area with bad service, you won't have navigation at all and I like car navigation voices better than apple or google voices. Love these bright colors on cars, hope they keep doing this
Google maps caches map data in real time so you don't lose it if your service drops...it also allows you to download map data ahead of time if you know where you're going.
This looks so much better with the blacked out grill. Wow. I actualky really like the coupe style now. Rear is so mich better with the toned down honeycomb fake grill. Reminds me of a CRX silhouette. Definetly my choice in this segment. Even over the expensive Mazda 3. IRS for the win
@@_baller umm.....wrong ppl that dont give a shit about a status symbol get a civic or ppl that don't live beyond their means and are actually smart with their money
I have the black 2018 model and it's such a beautiful car. I love it. Mine is standard however. I liked the 4 doors better beforehand but the coupes really grew on me after I got mine. I don't regret buying the car, that's for sure. Expensive but so worth it. I've always liked Honda Civics and I'm beyond happy with this one.
I just brought black 2016 Honda Civic EX-T last week, I love it!! Even watch the videos how to remote start and roll down the windows without entering the car. Nice car!! Honda #1, for those who can’t afford a Tesla.
I have a 2019 civic sport coup. It's got great economics, cheap gas, insurace, taxes, neat tech, and should last a very long time. It's also very fun to drive a small 2D coup....however the sound system is complete junk. I mean wow! It's depressing how bad it really is I like the car but the radio is sad.
Another great video. If I could make one request ... would it be possible for you, when comparing a new gen, to an old, to use a split screen to see & compare both at the same time? Regardless, you do an exceptional job.
Wow, that color. I remember wanting to paint my first car, a 1991 MR2 (non turbo), this exact color back in school around the year 2000... Haha! So crazy, "Way back when I was kid in school around the year 2000"... Living in the future y'all.
Have the same exact car as this except mine is white. It's been a great car so far with only 18,000 garaged miles on it. Hopefully it will have a little collectability to it someday.
I think the main reason why the 2019 Civic kept the older head unit as opposed to the newest one because as the climate control is buried into the infotainment, the temperature is only seen from the infotainment which would be hard to put in the newest one. Although the Civic could just put exactly the same infotainment layout as the Insight
I wonder if Honda has stepped up their quality since the 8th Gen civic. My wife’s 2009 which we bought brand new has been junk. The engine and drive train have been flawless but everything else is falling apart in the inside, the front end components fail prematurely, multiple AC problems, and the paint has faded before a lot of older vehicles I’ve owned.
I have almost 50k miles on a '16, the only thing showing wear is the grey plastic next to the parking brake switch. I guess I was careless about finger oils on it and the grey paint wore off a little
I have the Honda Civic 2019 EX, it's good car except one thing, the radiator fan keeps running at full speed when the car is not moving or is in lower speeds when AC is on.
@Billy Norris ever thought about tuning it with k tuner? I also found that having to work to get power is more rewarding than having it down low and losing up top power.
@@scraps0233 interesting. Ummm...I'd assume I'd lose out on gas mileage. Like I said, it's already not great. If I wanted a race car I would have gotten an si. I'm working 2 jobs out of this car.
Thanks for your review, but please remember the Honda vehicles are not luxury class or sports class. Fake vent are to break up design and plastic to be light weight. Reviewers complain about touch volume control while they don't live with every day... while us owners get accustomed to using it and not an issue to talk about or discourage buying or leasing... which I'm disappointed Honda change for you reviewers, not us customers.
@@ArtiLev22 But the Mazda has a far nicer interior, the exterior looks way better especially those ugly rear taillights of the Civic, has a traditional automatic instead of the CVT for people too lazy to shift their own gears, has All wheel drive which the Civic doesn't, and I think I heard that the Mazda 3 may get another engine choice that is faster than the current one. Both are great cars overall though.
I love my 2019 coupe ex-t . I've driven stick my whole life, but the CVT isn't bad at all with this engine. I'm constantly amazed at the pick up. I stopped to get gas the other day and some random woman and her husband were asking all kinds of questions. Things like " what is this? It's a Civic, omg is it brand new?" 😆 I explained it's a 2019 with 27,000 miles, the 11th gen has been out for a year now. They couldn't believe my car is 4 years old. Absolutely love the coupe, it's a Shame Honda didn't bring it back for 2022. I fear soon all car will be sedans and all look like Jettas lol.
Same. I'm still in love with the Coupe body but have the 2016 Accord Coupe 6MT. It's a shame but the market continues to speak. I'm trying to convince myself to consider a Civic but something about the V6 just feels nicer to drive, even though the CVT is a much smoother experience. The fake-shifting is just...yuck though.
Ehhh, no. The hump is there because the platform this Civic is built on actually could be easily made into RWD or AWD... they're probably not going to do this with the Civic (although a AWD version of the Type-R would be awesome). The platform most likely is going to be used for different models that do have AWD. A lot of manufacturers do this today, they build a platform that they can use for as many models possible to keep production costs as low as possible.
@@joshroberts6459 I explain to you in fairly technical detail about the platform and you doubt if I've ever seen one from the underside? You're really trying... The Type R does use the space to accomdate the larger pipe for the exhaust, but that's the exception. The space is actually much larger if you'd unbolt the shroud. It can be clearly seen in this video: ruclips.net/video/EqC_Xoz-Lqw/видео.html
@@setdecinmotion6719 Even the non-sport models have the exhaust piped through the hump, but just because it's there and not used for this model. The hump is actually much bigger than it needs to be for an exhaust, take away the heat shielding and and much wider and deeper 'hump' is revealed. It is... (and you can look this up, it's in the design of this platform)... to accomodate AWD on different models built on the same platform. Hopefully because they're going to make an AWD Civic (fingers crossed), but the CR-V is also built on this same platform and guess what the hump is used for on the AWD versions? I wasn't going to pull this card because it tends to be the subject of even more disbelief and discussion... I work for a Honda dealer, I actually know this stuff.
My daily driver is the 2017 civic coupe. If you don’t need more space I dare say it’s the perfect car, although for a coupe the backseat and trunk are quite usable.
raysup clearly you don’t know how to read beyond a few words. Did you not read anything else in my comment? I specifically said for a daily driver. And that’s because it’s got just enough power, comfort, sportiness, smoothness and features to be an excellent all purpose vehicle assuming you don’t need more room. Have you ever driven this car? Or do you just like to be another troll on the internet who talks out of his ass from his moms basement. Seems like the latter.
raysup perhaps if you learned to state your opinion without being an asshole then you’d get a nicer response. Have you ever tried beginning a response with “respectfully disagree, and here’s why”? Give it a try sometime. However you offered zero rationale in your reply, and decided to be insulting instead of engaging in a reasonable discussion of any sort. You act like a troll, then get upset when treated like one. You act like a decent human being and I’ll treat you like one. You can disagree with things and still be respectful in your discussion. It’s not mutually exclusive.
Went in so hard on the Regal having blank option buttons, but gives no mention of the three glaring blank buttons to the left of the steering wheel on the Civic....
@@zakywave He did the same skipping over the blanks on the new Lexus review. I think he just doesn't like Buick for some reason, and judges them harsher and unfairly.
James Foster it always shocked me that HUGE amounts of people never figured out that the volume control was just moved to the steering wheel, and it still is. In 6 years I’ve used the volume knob twice, because I was in the passenger seat.
I love that highlighter yellow! Stick and turbo and I'm sold. Plus, that yellow type r is killer! Model 3, Fusion Hybrid and Pacifica Hybrid I saw on the highway lol. Lots of hybrids.
@@jasenrock The infotainment system for the 2019 Mazda 3 was updated and looks very clean now. So I would go for Mazda 3 too, that interior is luxury like
Affordable?? LOL This is a RIPOFF IMO.. This is a 16k car with a trash tranny. Not 27k. The Jetta with a JB4 tune is much much better IMO and it's got a real 8 speed and you can get them cheap AND it get's close to 50mpg. This stupid Civic for 27k?? LOL You can get a GLI for 27k.
I think Honda's doing a phenomenal job with their lineup now this color in particular I can honestly say I wouldn't be able to Stand looking at on a day-to-day basis .This is not an everyday drivers dream color but is a dream car lol.
Was interested in the Coupe but the underground parking, shows why less popular. The door is so wide especially in underground parking. Liked the car, though.
About remote starting, I tried on a rented coupe Accord 17, what a bless on heat summers days. My only complaint was about how long and heavy was the doors. But it’s coupe and should be longer than sedan.
Fun fact the Current civic and Newest Corolla have the same wheelbase length at a 106.3 inches and very similar lengths at 182.3 inches for civic and 182.7 for Corolla I think Toyota must’ve benchmarked the civic during development lol
Norm T Because the Chinese government is extremely anal about emissions. However, they are nowhere as anal when it comes to safety. Usually when cars get recalled for safety issues in North America the exact same cars don’t even get tsbs in China.
AttilatheThrilla I have the 2018 ExT cvt coupe engine and I don't drive it overly aggressive and I live in a hot climate in Arizona, in your professional opinion should I be worried about this engine in the long run if I treat it well ?
the yellow-green color is such a fun pop of hue! I love it...but it couldn't be my only car. Great if u have extra money to spend on fun colors for a car!
I think they don't want the driver to depend on the system. Eventually it will break and if you got used to listening for a warning you may not look carefully enough before merging, but Honda went too far not offering BSM at all. Toyota has the same concern, but they just eliminated the ding so you need to actually look in the mirror to use the BSM system. I feel like that was the happy medium.
@@yoink7806 They *do* offer BSM in the US, it's just the older products like the Civic that don't get it. For example, their made in Japan Clarity also doesn't offer BSM, but the Accord does. They gave in to consumer sentiment instead of sticking with their engineers. Honda now has the same beeping BSM as any lesser car company. IMO they should have kept some form of driver engagement aid like Toyota has.
You don’t need a touch up paint pen. You just need a highlighter

@@dillonm6777 Don't be offended. It's a known fact that a Honda Civic is often seen in some of the most dull and drab colors for a car.

I have a '16 energy green touring coupe and I'm sooo tempted to sell it to get the tonic yellow Si
Owner perspective: the head unit is fine. It drives way more expensive than it is. The interior definitely lacks on storage space, even with the big center console because the sliding cup holders take up so much of that space. The car is quick, handling blows me away, fuel economy is great even with the turbo. I got 43 mpg on an 800 mile trip with lots of hills at around 70-80 mph, and average 32-35 each tank, mostly suburban driving. I have the hatchback and would recommend it because it blacks out all of the chrome and plastic trim, and the trunk space is always useful. I bought it thinking that it was kind of ugly but it has 3000% grown on me.
I still like my '16 Touring sedan. I replaced the OEM 215s with 225s and my mileage has dropped a little, but still gets 38-40 mpg on mostly highway driving. The performance is surprisingly good and will definitely get out of it's own way. I find the safety tech WAY too aggressive and turned off lane keeping assist and collision mitigation, as it almost got me into a wreck vs preventing. Good value overall. Thanks for the updated review.

Reviewers complain about touch volume control while they don't live with every day... while us owners get accustomed to using it and not an issue to talk about or discourage buying or leasing... which I'm disappointed Honda change for you reviewers, not us customers.
Even though I am a Honda fanboy, the new Mazda 3 is so impressive I just can't choose the Civic over the mazda 3. Both are good cars though.
The has a really small trunck and compared to the civic the Mazda is pretty slow
@@ArtiLev22 But the Mazda has a far nicer interior, the exterior looks way better especially those ugly rear taillights of the Civic, has a traditional automatic instead of the CVT for people too lazy to shift their own gears, has All wheel drive which the Civic doesn't, and I think I heard that the Mazda 3 may get another engine choice that is faster than the current one. Both are great cars overall though.
The new Mazda 3 is on another level compared to the civic!! Got to love the fake vents and cheap plastic everywhere on the civic.
I really feel the coupe for the price, is the sexiest model Honda has,.. I want a high spoiler on it too.
A nice job once again. Honda, all the way.
I love my 2019 coupe ex-t . I've driven stick my whole life, but the CVT isn't bad at all with this engine. I'm constantly amazed at the pick up. I stopped to get gas the other day and some random woman and her husband were asking all kinds of questions. Things like " what is this? It's a Civic, omg is it brand new?" 😆 I explained it's a 2019 with 27,000 miles, the 11th gen has been out for a year now. They couldn't believe my car is 4 years old. Absolutely love the coupe, it's a Shame Honda didn't bring it back for 2022. I fear soon all car will be sedans and all look like Jettas lol.
Same. I'm still in love with the Coupe body but have the 2016 Accord Coupe 6MT. It's a shame but the market continues to speak. I'm trying to convince myself to consider a Civic but something about the V6 just feels nicer to drive, even though the CVT is a much smoother experience. The fake-shifting is just...yuck though.
You need compare with Jetta GLI or Golf GTI. I preferred the Mazda 3 is so beautiful. Almost German sense interior
There shouldn't be a hump because its front wheel drive? The hump is there because of the exhaust pipe...
Ehhh, no. The hump is there because the platform this Civic is built on actually could be easily made into RWD or AWD... they're probably not going to do this with the Civic (although a AWD version of the Type-R would be awesome). The platform most likely is going to be used for different models that do have AWD. A lot of manufacturers do this today, they build a platform that they can use for as many models possible to keep production costs as low as possible.
@@micglou have you actually ever been underneeth one? While its on a hoist? Its the exhaust pipe that goes down the middle, right where that hump is.
@@joshroberts6459 I explain to you in fairly technical detail about the platform and you doubt if I've ever seen one from the underside? You're really trying... The Type R does use the space to accomdate the larger pipe for the exhaust, but that's the exception. The space is actually much larger if you'd unbolt the shroud. It can be clearly seen in this video: ruclips.net/video/EqC_Xoz-Lqw/видео.html
Have a 2017 Sport Touring hatchback. The hump is for the center exhaust pipe for these particular sport models.
@@setdecinmotion6719 Even the non-sport models have the exhaust piped through the hump, but just because it's there and not used for this model. The hump is actually much bigger than it needs to be for an exhaust, take away the heat shielding and and much wider and deeper 'hump' is revealed. It is... (and you can look this up, it's in the design of this platform)... to accomodate AWD on different models built on the same platform. Hopefully because they're going to make an AWD Civic (fingers crossed), but the CR-V is also built on this same platform and guess what the hump is used for on the AWD versions? I wasn't going to pull this card because it tends to be the subject of even more disbelief and discussion... I work for a Honda dealer, I actually know this stuff.
That's High Visibility Work Vest green.
the front is ok, the rear is “were they drunk at the time?”
My daily driver is the 2017 civic coupe. If you don’t need more space I dare say it’s the perfect car, although for a coupe the backseat and trunk are quite usable.
Perfect car? Really? It must be the only car you've ever driven.
raysup clearly you don’t know how to read beyond a few words. Did you not read anything else in my comment? I specifically said for a daily driver. And that’s because it’s got just enough power, comfort, sportiness, smoothness and features to be an excellent all purpose vehicle assuming you don’t need more room. Have you ever driven this car? Or do you just like to be another troll on the internet who talks out of his ass from his moms basement. Seems like the latter.
@@caglioso Does everyone that disagrees with you live in their mom's basement? So original. This is far from the perfect car under ANY circumstance.
raysup perhaps if you learned to state your opinion without being an asshole then you’d get a nicer response. Have you ever tried beginning a response with “respectfully disagree, and here’s why”? Give it a try sometime. However you offered zero rationale in your reply, and decided to be insulting instead of engaging in a reasonable discussion of any sort. You act like a troll, then get upset when treated like one. You act like a decent human being and I’ll treat you like one. You can disagree with things and still be respectful in your discussion. It’s not mutually exclusive.
@@caglioso You should have said commuter car. He probably would have gotten that. Lol
I like the colour, just for the fact it's not another dull silver or gray instead.
All cars are the same colors, about time they started taking more chances, itd be nice seeing more color on the road
Put a V6 is this thing, get it with a 6sp manual, maybe a LSD. Bring back the accord coupe lol
Bosco Han except it’s one size smaller and it won’t sell
Went in so hard on the Regal having blank option buttons, but gives no mention of the three glaring blank buttons to the left of the steering wheel on the Civic....
The Regals a luxury brand vehicle, if the Acura ILX or TLX had blank buttons it would make more sense to point out
@@zakywave He did the same skipping over the blanks on the new Lexus review. I think he just doesn't like Buick for some reason, and judges them harsher and unfairly.
The Civic will always be the best compact sized car. Also Honda, NEVER AGAIN GET RID OF THE VOLUME KNOB!!!
James Foster it always shocked me that HUGE amounts of people never figured out that the volume control was just moved to the steering wheel, and it still is. In 6 years I’ve used the volume knob twice, because I was in the passenger seat.
I love that highlighter yellow! Stick and turbo and I'm sold. Plus, that yellow type r is killer! Model 3, Fusion Hybrid and Pacifica Hybrid I saw on the highway lol. Lots of hybrids.
For a small affordable coupe, yes. For a compact, I would buy a new mazda 3 over the civic tho
Trung Nguyen the engine in Mazda is meh it’s not really that fast or fuel efficient
@@jasenrock The infotainment system for the 2019 Mazda 3 was updated and looks very clean now. So I would go for Mazda 3 too, that interior is luxury like
I'd buy an Impreza hatch.
Affordable?? LOL This is a RIPOFF IMO.. This is a 16k car with a trash tranny. Not 27k. The Jetta with a JB4 tune is much much better IMO and it's got a real 8 speed and you can get them cheap AND it get's close to 50mpg. This stupid Civic for 27k?? LOL You can get a GLI for 27k.
@@jaylee8703 im looking at that GLI, and I like it
Love the colour and coupe body which we don’t get in Australia unfortunately- thorough and insightful review :)
“Trunk hinges that crush your cargo..” 😂🤣😂🤣
😂😂
When the intro music came on I forgot I was watching redline and thought subaruwrxfan was playing
Man, I miss the energy green. I would've liked the Civic Si Coupe in that color. Oh well, maybe I can get one used.
I think Honda's doing a phenomenal job with their lineup now this color in particular I can honestly say I wouldn't be able to Stand looking at on a day-to-day basis .This is not an everyday drivers dream color but is a dream car lol.
Such a nice car omg
Was interested in the Coupe but the underground parking, shows why less popular. The door is so wide especially in underground parking. Liked the car, though.
I wish Honda makes coupe type r.
That would be perfect!
They don't sale that well so no....
campkira coupes don't sell well or the type R? Because I see the type R on the streets all the time.
Yoooo this color😍😍
I would love to see a Honda Civic -AWD
Honda Civic the construction jacket of compact cars
Best Small car? Once upon a time yes, the modern Civic is HUUUUUGE.
lol everything getting huge-r
Thats because ppl are fatter now. Lol
I'm addicted to your reviews
This Civic reminds me of fire flies or glow worm, which is why I love it.
About remote starting, I tried on a rented coupe Accord 17, what a bless on heat summers days.
My only complaint was about how long and heavy was the doors. But it’s coupe and should be longer than sedan.
Hell yeah Civic’s are the best small cars
Fun fact the Current civic and Newest Corolla have the same wheelbase length at a 106.3 inches and very similar lengths at 182.3 inches for civic and 182.7 for Corolla I think Toyota must’ve benchmarked the civic during development lol
Hey why not take cues from the best right?? Lol
With share oem now day... they all just the same car with different part... anyhow...
Mercedes and bmw got so petty they let honda and other basic car companies surpass them in quality and sales
They are over engineered junk
At least Honda vehicles are reliable and don't cost their owners a boatload of money in repairs and maintenance unlike European cars.
I'm definitely getting me one.. Either the coupe touring or the hatchback touring 👌🏽
@Gary Basra both seem stylish
I wish someone could let us know if the engine oil problem is resolved and how?
Wasnt really a problem... People are just paranoid.
@@diegoeleazar9154 then why the Honda 1.5t TSB for North America and recall for China?
Norm T Because the Chinese government is extremely anal about emissions. However, they are nowhere as anal when it comes to safety. Usually when cars get recalled for safety issues in North America the exact same cars don’t even get tsbs in China.
The crv was the promblem child but I think they fixed this 6 months in on the 2018.
They have a software update. Honestly, I still would not buy the current Honda turbo engine myself.
Great reviewer. Im not a Honda fan but a fan of the channel.
Looking at this 2019 makes me want to trade in my 2015 #rip ;(
You won't regret even tho 9th Gen was very well built.
Don't do it! if you have a car loan, you might be upside down on it after the trade! unless the car is paid off then go for it. lol
@@masterdriveroftoyotazupr4164 Good point. Unless he is close to a lease end
It’s only money. Trading Honda’s every 3 years works pretty good if you deal good.Some cars better to lease .
About rear spoiler, I wish Honda add a rear spoiler at top of back window from inside, as in TLX, so high car like big trucks could see it easily.
I build these engines for a living 😁😁
AttilatheThrilla I have the 2018 ExT cvt coupe engine and I don't drive it overly aggressive and I live in a hot climate in Arizona, in your professional opinion should I be worried about this engine in the long run if I treat it well ?
@@ParanormalMetalMan good question
the yellow-green color is such a fun pop of hue! I love it...but it couldn't be my only car. Great if u have extra money to spend on fun colors for a car!
WHY won't they include BSM?! it makes no sense
bondage sadism masochism? body side moulding? lol
I think they don't want the driver to depend on the system. Eventually it will break and if you got used to listening for a warning you may not look carefully enough before merging, but Honda went too far not offering BSM at all.
Toyota has the same concern, but they just eliminated the ding so you need to actually look in the mirror to use the BSM system. I feel like that was the happy medium.
@@joa8593 i mean if that were the case they wouldn't include it in their acura products... and honda has bsm in other markets just not the us
@@guyva_unito_sree3 yessir!
@@yoink7806 They *do* offer BSM in the US, it's just the older products like the Civic that don't get it. For example, their made in Japan Clarity also doesn't offer BSM, but the Accord does.
They gave in to consumer sentiment instead of sticking with their engineers. Honda now has the same beeping BSM as any lesser car company. IMO they should have kept some form of driver engagement aid like Toyota has.
Love it how the evaluation vehicle has HomeLink on rearview mirror, but it's not available on 2019 specs for US models.
