2017 Honda Civic Hatchback | CarGurus Test Drive Review

[@cwbetb]

I prefer the hatch over the coupe and 4dr by far. The hatch has alot of great add ons that make it unique. This car really did it for me in person and I put a order in for a red sport touring. The "young" side of me wishes it was a 2dr tiny hatch of old, but the older me needs the 4dr, and room. This car is made for people like me, someone that wants a old school Honda fun but with the practicality

[@RickDanner]

I bought one - if you get a chance check out the video I made of it , love it , youll love it

[@DriveAndBeDriven]

Nice review, Car Gurus! You did a great job presenting the 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback, Keith! I love how you kept the video very relatable, and entertaining. While still keeping it fairly concise! I recently reviewed a 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback EX and Honda Civic Sedan EX-T. I greatly appreciated both vehicles, but I was always reminded of how much I really liked the Hatchback variant! Even though the exterior isn't as well proportioned, I just loved the extra practicality, space and the very sporty vibe that you do get with the hatchback!Fuel economy is also mind blowing, especially when compared to its competition! Keep up the great work! ;-) -DriveAndBeDriven "The Quest To Record The Best!"

Drove the 1 litre turbo on a test drive and was really surprised how powerful it was and really fun to drive.

[@AndrewKNI]

Awesome car. Great review.

[@MrKastaway66]

Andrew K. NI Just got one this week. Love.

[@undererock]

such a good looking car ugh love the sonic gray pearl

[@courtneyvegan9448]

active safety and blind spot warning should be standard.

[@timothyjudge4807]

courtney Vegan not important. Don't need it

[@Dlow-kc6jv]

courtney Vegan by 2020 it probably will be. lmao

[@Ads7903]

Now standard.

[@theejoeylee]

i trust the honda 6 speed more than the vw or focus autos, hell even more than hondas auto for that matter

[@jameslee2215]

I love the looks, storage and 40/31 mileage and I know I can improve on it with my driving. I want the EX, I'd like to have leather but can live with cloth.

[@stiffmeister210]

James Lee : did you end up getting the car ? Looking into getting one. Looking for some feedback. Thanks.

[@joshitheyoshi2533]

I like it but they really overdid it with the spoilers and racing fenders in the rear.

[@A_guan]

I really can't pick between the mazda3 or civic hatch. I need some help deciding if I should give up a few features the civic misses such as blind spot monitoring, heated steering wheel and homelink and go for the extra room found in the civic.

[@OrganicWheat]

I want the front bumper of the hatch to be available for lx :c

[@derppcannon]

Would you say this car is sorta blue?

[@richardmorse5307]

In Canada in 2016 I think, the Civic won an award for car of the year. It must be me that driving a car with tail lights placed like that would result in only driving at night.

[@xuimod]

Sad that Civic hatchbacks with manuals only come with the base stereo. To get the upgraded stereo you have to upgrade the trim and lose the manual transmission.

[@MrKastaway66]

xuimod I’m planning to go aftermarket with mine.

[@jfazzuoli3813]

Honda's decision to go with center mount exhaust in Sport and Sport-T trims (and upcoming Si and Type R) is a mistake. It eliminates the option to install an after market hitch to carry bikes/light towing. Many Civic buyers fall into the "active lifestyle demographic" and appreciate versatility in their fun to drive cars.

[@DogTrekker]

Then you should buy the LX, EX, or EX-L.

[@gillesthibault429]

Towing is not recommended with the Civic. And rear bike racks are a real danger as they hide the taillights when in use. Use a roof rack!

[@salemsaberhagen8390]

with a hatch he doesn't even need a rack

[@neverhomepnw]

I love that color

[@josiahthibodeaux]

I haste the dealership didn’t have this color, we got stuck with the generic white (sighs).

[@mfmf100]

God review though it's a bit long in the tooth, I think the Focus still rates a mention as a compare

[@bosse641]

Nice.

[@organboi]

And they don't mention they stripped EVERY last Civic model of a CD player. Unacceptable. Now a CD player is becoming listed as a "highlighted feature" on many spec lists.

[@jonathanmarquise422]

you use CD's? good god.

[@salemsaberhagen8390]

same for manual e brake and keyed start

[@blindowl2851]

What's a CD? 😂🤣

[@ideedit]

I would try to special order a fully loaded sport touring with 6 speed manual and leather seats. If not, I'd walk away because I special ordered a fully loaded 2006 HHR 5 speed manual with leather, with no problem!

[@gillesthibault429]

My wife drives one. It's available in Canada. It is a Lovely car - the only North American Civic model where both a 6MT and the Honda Sensing suite coexist. And in Canada, only the Civic DX sedan uses that LCD gauge cluster and center infotainment system - All other Civics have the TFT cluster, the 7" center screen, as well as Android Auto / Apple CarPlay

[@manipularsilver]

Nice Pebble Round.

[@jayczyzyk9707]

not true ext coup manual. ones with card play

[@tungol00]

I just love the new civic especially the hatch sport 1.5t but I will probably still wait for the Si.

[@EvendimataE]

i want one but not now....because it new price is high

[@jkmsaturn]

Appears to be a really good car & should bode well for Honda. Civic Hatchback has some real tacky bits, especially in the back - looks like a car trying desperately to regain some street cred.

[@mapp4751]

love the Civic but the price is creeping up!

[@dylanhale7300]

Why the fuck are the pedals so close together in modern cars now. My fat foot can't hit the gas without hitting the brakes...

[@sim2502]

You say moonroof I say sunroof. Tomaato tomato..

[@ObiTrev]

Too bad it's not a 2-Door Fast Back.

[@jayrush01]

"from the front its hard to tell the difference between the hatch sedan an coupe"??? wtf has this guy been smoking hatch different guy!

[@gillesthibault429]

He must be thinking about the Si, which has that blacked out front and back.

[@salemsaberhagen8390]

the black parts on exterior makes it look cheap

[@robovac3557]

Test drove this and the Mazda3. Mazda3 won out in every meaningful category.

[@100858101]

your pants are too long

[@richardmorse5307]

I know styling is subjective BUT in the quest for distinctiveness Honda has made a vehicle that is ugly both coming and going especially the rear end. How did this abomination get past the concept stage? Were they trying to imitate the Velostar in the rear end?

[@DogTrekker]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love the Civic Hatchback's styling.

[@gillesthibault429]

Looks much better in the flesh (Takes a bit of getting used to) and drives just sweet!

[@blindowl2851]

Bet u wish u had one now huh?

[@owensoft]

Liftback.

[@Behindstage]

Stick shift = Gear Stick i presume? you crazy Americans with your words

[@bikes7777]

typical hipster, blinded by the Honda myth. There are better choices out there.

[@taurus20077]

+bikephil There will ALWAYS be better choices, no matter what you purchase: cars, bikes, appliances, tools, etc.

[@gillesthibault429]

It is that good! Drive one and chances are, you'll be impressed too! (My wife drives a 2018 Sport Touring 6MT - available in Canada).

[@SINGH-ing]

Gilles Thibault Oh yeah I have the Sport Touring in Sonic Grey Pearl and I never thought after driving Germans I would say I’m impressed with a Honda. LOL guys in BMW and specially Mercs and Audi’s compliment me. Specially for the paint. This car is very distinctive.

[@PalacinkyPDX]

Ugly, ugly car.
