I prefer the Civic. But I’d stay away from the 1.5 L turbo. I still haven’t heard about a definitive repair for the oil gas dilution issue for that engine.
I have a Civic with the base 2.0L. No issues at all after 80,000 miles.
The clear winner is us the customer. We get to pick highly stylish and option loaded cars for great prices. We all win!
I got the 2023 Elantra hybrid. I was also considering a Honda Insight but the Elantra has a 10 yr warranty and better gas mileage. I get over 50 mpg
I got the N line. It's a good compromise between performance and a practical daily driver. And it handles like a sports car.
I can't believe compact sedans are now starting in the mid $20's. I don't like it here anymore.
You don't know how lucky you are, here in the UK the Civic Hybrid is the equivalent of $50,000, cars are SO cheap in North America, and our petrol is $9 a gallon.
@@pillred5974 It’s the same here in Brazil. The new generation Civic is an absolute flop because Honda always wants to be seen as premium here and cancelled the national production of the model. They also started importing only the hybrid version from Thailand. The result is an extremely higher price. A BYD Seal or even a BMW 320i is more worthwhile to buy.
@@pillred5974yall have public transportation, we HAVE to drive everywhere
We've had the Hyundai Limited Hybrid for nearly a year now and love it. We are consistently getting over 50mg. The interior technology with dual screens is so impressive. Friends are always so WOW when they get inside and see how luxury it is and can't believe the fuel economy numbers.
The si is only available in sedan not hatchback
IMOP, Hyundai Price + Warranty > Honda offerings
Fantastic comparison!!!
Had my 2.0 NA Civic sport for a year and 20k miles and loving it. I wish the 6MT came in that trim and bodystyle but not on the sedan unfortunately
The elantra looks sleek.
I pick Hyundai tbh
I don’t like how you guys showed the Ioniq’s interior for the Elantra.
The Hyundai for me. Honda thinks they have class leading products like they did in the 90s but those days are long past.
Wrong. Hondas are class leading in the interior design, quality, fit finish, premium feel, space, performance, driving dynamics, suspension polish, refinement, steering feel etc
@@naveenthemachineHondas are slow and boring
@@naveenthemachine Pffff, the interior in the Pilot vs the Santa Fe, the clear leader is the Santa Fe even though is a a few thousand less. I have had multiples of both brands. To think all Honda's are special just makes no sense to me. The Civic is just over priced but yes it is good. But the Elantra is also good without being overpriced. Elantra Limited is about $3500 less than a Civic Touring. That is a lot of money on a car in that price range and the Elantra is better equipped but has less HP if that matters.
You’re gonna feel just how much “quality” that Hyundai is once it crosses 4-5 years…brace yourself.
@@gregkramer5588 the pilot isn’t really a Santa Fe competitor as it’s a lot roomier than the Santa Fe. It’s a palisade competitor
I'd take the Civic in either Si or Sport, but it must be manual. If I wanted maximum fuel economy and a good commuter car, then Elantra Hybrid. I'd take either over anything from Toyota or Nissan.
I've had great experiences with both Honda and Hyundai products - including my current Hyundai which is at nearly 330,000 miles and still going strong.
4:25 The SI only comes in sedan form
I like the way Hyundai and Kia are heading and they had kind of a whole brand redesign the last few years, but that doesn’t erase how bad their cars were in the past. I’ll still with Honda or Toyota for now. Hopefully the newer models will last longer, but only time will tell.
I don't like that cars keep growing in dimensions from year to year, they should stay in their class.
Hyundai also gets 3 years / 36K Complimentary Maintenance vs to Honda's 2 year / 24K
one is looked at as the "cheaper honda" also ppl will probably try to steal one more than the other.....
There's only one honda in the video😂
No 6MT on base Civic Sedan, which means Civic no longer has a model that'll out perform the Elantra at same price point. Power may be down on regular 2.0L Elantra, but it will pull as hard as the 2.0L Civic. Civic's CVT is good, but that transmission handicaps the naturally aspired K20 engine's potential, with its proven vtec power that needs 6MT transmission to exploit it.
Honda for me in this case. Currently own a 2013 Elantra, my experience with both Hyundai Corporate and dealer repair network, with few exceptions, has been a let down. The car in itself has been ok, but I did have to fix a few issues on my own using non OEM parts. I am at 190k miles now, and still going. Will soon replace but will definitely look elsewhere.
I’ve also got a 2013 Elantra, only has 67k miles though
@@RRLV434 On mine I had to replace the rear shocks early, I guess they went bad at around 35k and only noticed it after the tires started to develop big bumps. I replaced the gear coupling myself since I received the notice before reaching 100k miles but then Hyundai took a long time to implement the fix and it was difficult to get an appointment before it was over warranty. Had a problem with a shifter gasket or switch (?) or something to that end that made my car go off in the middle of the road at least twice and would also make it difficult to start several occasions. Brakes were weak and would shake. Both shocks and brakes replaced with aftermarket parts that lasted 4-5 time more. The worst offense was the mpg lawsuit where Hyundai claimed incorrect MPG. I submitted all paperwork and Hyundai Corporate claimed to have never received any documentation and denied my claim, even when there were records with inquires I made at the dealerships during service visits multiple times.
Not a great car, but not a bad one either. Would have considered another from the same company if the interaction would have been different.
Hyundai/Kia has problems with paint peeling, door locks not working, and engine problems. Hyundai/Kia are aware of these problems and do nothing.
The paint peeling is really only an issue with white paint, which is common across many brands. I even saw a newer Corolla with horrible paint peeling the other day and unsurprisingly it was white.
Bought a Kia (sister company to Hyundai)…will never buy a Korean car makers ICE product ever again. Might consider a Korean EV though since there is no engine to fail.
Always honda
Difference is Civic has a bland exterior design.
honda civic is best option elentra i drive no power full engine…
Civic is just to slow. N line or N
Honda for me. Hyundai and Kia have yet to find an engine variant to stick with and their value is zero

@@davidkusanagi589 you should learn proper grammar before you come on the internet spew nonsense pal.
How do you like those Takata grenades, err, airbags? 💥🤡🙆🤣🤣🤣
Elantra looks better, Honda is built better. While nothing is certain it is safe to assume, based on historical data and company rep, the Honda will outlast it.
Both are among the most competitive compact sedans. Only the Elantra k4 mazda3 can truly compete with the civic
What are your thoughts on the 4Runner?
@@ALMX5DP I’m a bit disappointed. They’re using a turbo 4 non or regular hybrid so there goes Toyota instant reliability
Also the backseats look cramped. Not to mention the interior looks horrible. Cheap materials abound and likely a steep price tag in addition to insane markups.
I bet with markups you’ll be in the same price range as a bronco raptor
@@naveenthemachine what makes you say reliability has gone away, and don’t you often say that reliability doesn’t really matter for this type of pricepoint? I think the back seat has (marginally) more room than the last one, and being the current reviews were of preproduction models lots of stipulations were mentioned that materials may not be the same as when it goes into production.
@@ALMX5DP 4 runner is not a sedan....
@@davidkusanagi589 definitely not.
woo first
The only difference is that Honda never gets old!! Believe that!
😂 honda…hyundai…what kind of people get pride driving honda ??? 😂😂😂
Honda for sure
Difference is reliability
Corolla
This is more of a commercial for Hyundai trying to knock Honda from this outlet. It’s pretty sad.
Hyundai if you want to lease the car for a few years and then give it back. if you plan on keeping the car for a while, Honda without a doubt.
There's no comparison... Hyundai's warranty will always outlast their cars... while Honda will LAST LONG after the warranty expires.
VTEC… is the only difference that matters
Always buy a Honda over Hyundai no matter what the price difference is because you'll be driving it for 300K+ miles.
Based on? ...... I will get the Hyundai, nice and better pricing both. The Elantra Hybrid and N are both leaders in their segments.
I've never owned a Hyundai before. They might be great cars, but it's hard to step away from what's has worked so well in the past for me.
@@gregkramer5588 based on Hyundai engines exploding and insane number of recalls. You're an idiot.
@@gregkramer5588I bought a 2016 Honda civic and the AC kept crapping out on me and that was a huge deal
Breaker.
@@glennXP3 same but luckily Honda replaced the compressor/condensor (practically whole ac system) for free for all honda cars in the 2016 under warranty had my done in 2023 xD
Kia and Hyundai's are more of an emotional choice, that's why they restyle them so much, where as Honda is the rational choice. I bought a Kia Forte in 2019 because the design was better than last gen civic, and it was way cheaper but it was an emotional purchase. I personally know Honda is better, but I took a risk
