2020 Honda Civic hatchback EX quick review

[@jV-xz6su]

I'm picking up my ex sonic grey on Thursday. I'm exited! Thanks for this great review

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrSamuel63976]

Just bought mine yesterday!!

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

We're most likely getting a Sonic Grey (Portifino Pearl, really.... right?) 2020 EX Hatch too... It really is the nicest color with the new black accents and the darker alloy wheels... And here we can only get a black on black interior with the EX, which also goes well with Sonic Grey.

[@sailur]

I wish you could talk to the people that make Honda’s and told them to have all these features in the sport hatchback but make it so there is a push to start version of the car and an actual key version of the car

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

The regular Sport is just an entry-level trim package with some minor drivetrain/handling improvements over the base2020 CVT Hatch. The Sport Touring, however, is the top of the line trim CVT based performance model. Meaning the Sport Touring is the best Non-Type R 2020 Hatch. It goes for about $30k though, when a loaded EX is about $25k..... That's $5k more than a CVT EX Hatch without a power moonroof, for 5hp more and 1 Inch larger wheels. To me it makes no sense; you can improve the performance and handling a Lot more with $1k in aftermarket performance upgrades. But it's the model you want if you want a 2020 Styled Hatch with a 6 Speed, and don't have $40k for a Type R. ;) Oh, and actual, regular physical keyed ignition is becoming a thing of the past. It's far too easy to bypass an old-fashioned keyed ignition. Check out this review of the 2020 Sport Touring: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJuZk4GHjbKXqJI

[@marsrocket]

Torque management? That second option in the dash is the turbo boost gauge.

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

IKR? That goof made me lol :)

[@mk-vi5mx]

Thank you so much for your video I saw other videos about this car but you explained best about features and functions. That helped a lot!

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

[@coolzxr]

The 1993 Civic Hatchback was my dads first honda... R.I.P THE KEY 🔑

[@sailur]

K3V1N there are still 2019/ 2020 Honda civics with a key 🔑

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

Good! It's about time that the features, security, and convenience of keyless entry and ignition filters down to affordable vehicles.

[@Time2Murk]

Can't wait to get this!

[@DangerClose805]

Great car I bought one looks better than the normal civics

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Congrats on the new Honda!

[@malachimakely302]

very in depth and informative video. Great work.

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@shamirsanani7868]

Damn that mpg is a killer.

[@WatEvasCleva24]

Im thinking of going for this civic trim just because of the moonroof 😎

[@athenapylarinos6067]

Hi Justin, thank you for a great review! I was wondering if you knew whether or not the standard 2020 Honda Civic Hatchback EX comes with LED headlights, blind spot monitoring? Also, does it come with left & right mirror turn signals? Thank you!

[@Pubek]

Is there blind spot monitoring on the 2020?

[@fugobono]

What’s the difference between an Honda Civic hatchback EX and the EX-L? Both from 2020

[@JustinFullerReviews]

The EXL adds: 8-Way Power Driver’s Seat Leather-Wrapped Steering Wheel Leather-Wrapped Shift Knob Automatic-Dimming Rearview Mirror Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System Heated Side Mirrors Fog Lights

[@1hons1]

You get the leather and the dimming mirrors and believe that’s it. I just purchased a 2020 ex last night and I have the leather steering wheel fog light along with the rest of the extras. Odd thing is I even have non leather seats but have them heated

[@charlieong2055]

Great video Justin. Thanks for sharing. Is active alarm standard in the 2020 Civic EX Hatchback?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

There is a security system on all trim levels.

[@tommyboy6111]

Hey Justin, love your videos. I do have one question, when's the Honda Civic Sedan 2020 coming out??? I can't find info for it anywhere. Keep up the good work 👍

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Should see them landing in the next 30 days from my understanding.

[@johnmarksauro4620]

Can you do a review for the honda civic hatchback 2020 sports touring

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Once I can get my hands on one.

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

For now there's one here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJuZk4GHjbKXqJI

[@cardpopcorn13]

Here’s a good question. Do all Honda Civic EXs share the same interior light bulbs? So for example if I wanted to get a red led lights for the interior of my EX, bulbs from 2017 are the same??? I see the same images online for bulbs that’s why I’m asking

[@MinhVu-in9iz]

Those of you , who want a clue to the 2020 Honda type R, here you go!!

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

Exactly! The 2020 CVT Hatch uses the same rolling stock.

[@versansky75]

Does the brake hold feature come on a manual transmission Civic Sport?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

It does. The vehicles also offers hill start assist which will hold the brake as you move your foot from brake to gas so the car does not roll back.

[@versansky75]

@@JustinFullerReviews Nice!!!!!

[@hannahdonaldson6397]

Does it have automatic shut off at like red lights? If so can it be shut off

[@abc123-d2t]

Thank for showing you awesome .

[@JustinFullerReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@dennistyler8746]

EX has nice options. Anyone hear if the Civic has the Oil Dilution problem squared away? Happy 4th...Cheers.

[@djjoep100]

Does the Honda hatchback ex come in red?

[@dennisliu520]

Are you sure this car is configured as EX, not EXL?

[@staasellis3952]

Can you make a video on the civic hatch sport 2020

[@user-qc9nt8vi7c]

Are those seats considered leather or cotton?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

The EX has cloth seats.

[@ericksoler1221]

Sport Touring is the only one with Paddle Shifters? Is that feature worth the extra 4000 the Sport touring is worth compared to the EX

[@Phyte9180]

The base sport also has them too

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

The extra $5k the Sport Touring costs over the EX, to lose the power moonroof and gain an inch on the wheels, makes absolutely No Sense. For what? To mess up the CVT with pretend gear changes? :)

[@lapstreet21]

black interior is superior

[@jennydang123]

How much for this car ?

[@ez12like]

Great video. I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I am interested in purchasing the 2020 Honda Civic hatchback sport touring manual transmission. I would like to have it in the sonic gray color scheme. I live in Southern California and all the dealerships I contacted stated they don't have it in their inventory. One dealer told me there are only 4 in the state. However, none of the dealerships want to make an effort to get the vehicle for me. They will not tell me the name of the dealership, or attempt to make a trade or arraignments with the dealerships to acquire the vehicle. They just state, "I'm sorry. It is not in our inventory. I thought they are suppose to be the helpful Honda people. Do you have any connections with Honda that can help me resolve this issue? I would appreciate any suggestions you might have.

[@JustinFullerReviews]

A dealership could order the car for you. But you are looking at 90 days of wait time. The Sonic Gray color has never been produced a large amounts. And compounding that with a manual transmission makes that number even lower. If you were willing to agree to numbers, put a deposit down and wait, I bet someone would go get the car for you.

[@Tsalinger]

The manuals are hard to get so I just put down a thousand and ordered mine in Sport trim. Since it was an order I just went thru the Costco program and saved a few bucks. You still need a dealer but you get a discount. The insurance companies are cracking down on manuals so it won't be long and they will be gone.

[@wynnhorton1208]

@@JustinFullerReviews It is very unlikely that the other dealership will send it elsewhere.

[@JustinFullerReviews]

When new Hondas are traded amongst dealerships it is just that, a trade. So while you are requesting a piece of inventory from that dealership, you have to have something they want in return. So if they are holding onto a very unique or rare vehicle they are much less likely to want to trade it. In this case a manual transmission, in Sonic Gray is exceptionally rare. The dealership I worked at, would only trade vehicles amongst dealers within a certain mile radius. We also had to have some sort of relationship with them. So while every dealership would love to trade and get you exactly what you want, it is not always that easy.

[@joeyGalileoHotto]

These cars are incredibly hard to get. I've wanted a civic hatchback, but every time I tried to buy one, they got sold. They come in limited quantities, So I had to settle for the sedan model.

[@user-sx7xn9td3n]

They’ve stopped making them due to COVID, and they just started again like 2-3 weeks ago.

[@jamesgand828]

I would have expected at least a refresh on the infotainment system. Competitors are offering so much better stuff and Honda is really lagging behind. More than anything else, i want them to get rid of that stupid blind spot camera. They got rid of it on the Insight so why is it still on the Civic?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

James, Honda has slowly been moving away from the blind spot camera and moving towards blind spot monitoring in the mirrors. You mentioned competitors are offering better features in relation to the infotainment system. Just curious what kind of features you are talking about? I would love to know what cool new features are out there..

[@jamesgand828]

@@JustinFullerReviews I will actually use KIA forte as an example here: 10-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support (Civic has 8 with no lumbar support) Heated and ventilated front seats (civic only has heated) Dual-zone, fully-automatic air conditioning (single zone on civic) Wireless charger (non on civic) Blind Spot monitoring (Blind Spot Camera on Civic) A/C Vents for rear passengers These are some of the features I found to be important as a buyer. I compared these features to the top trim of Honda Civic to top trim of Kia Forte GT with GT2 package. Even with all of that, it still undercuts the touring price of civic by thousand. Not to mention how much power you get from that 201hp DCT. Some competitors also offer heated steering wheel (Mazda 3) or panoramic sunroof (Elantra GT-line). Now, I am mentioning this not to hate on Honda but I want them to do better for customers. I had a 2004 Honda for 14 years and I loved the darn thing and still have a ton of love for Honda but it's hard when your competition offers so much for less and offer more warranty. I am in the market for a car and I really like the exterior design for Honda but the interior design and features feel very outdated. If you disagree with me that is fine but you can't deny these facts. PS. I know every car manufacturer has a different mission for their cars and it's hard to compare them apples to apples but I only ask for the very basic features.

[@johnbonner2656]

At 2:03 when you mention the tweeters in the door it looks like the speaker is exposed? What are we looking at?

[@JustinFullerReviews]

The tweeters are on the door next to the handle. They are not exposed, just showing where they are located.

[@marsrocket]

@@JustinFullerReviews The one on the left looked exposed, and different from the one on the right.

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

@@marsrocket I think there are 2 in-door speaker mounts in the 8 speaker system; a mid-range and a tweeter.

So basically everything 😂😂😂

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

@@JustinFullerReviews A LOT. lol

[@jorgediaz70]

Jeffrey Toale lol the sport comes with almost all of these things. You are incredibly wrong

[@MrSuperaptor]

So pretty much the same as the 2019 just looks a liiiiiiiil bit different

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

Mostly. But as perhaps the final year of the CVT based Civic, the powertrain, and electronics (systems electronics, not the now outdated Infotainment system), have had tweaks and improvements as well. And the 2020 Hatch R Type, which uses the same rollingstock as this 2020 CVT Hatch, is one of the best in quite a while.

[@federicogermano8680]

The back vents is another mess over a previous mess. From a 2018 hatch owner

[@yoyohooyo]

My 2016 civic/lemon with 16,000 miles on it problems: While driving my Civic/death trap a computer error caused the computer controlled electric/electronic parking brake to engage four times in series sliding the rear tires and jerking the car to a stop. The Honda service department technician said nothing they did fix the problem. I traded my Civic death trap for a 2017 Accord with a manual parking brake, and ask the American Honda Motor Co., Inc customer service to compensate me for my $3,669.49 loss on the deal. Honda's customer service department brush off employee said the parking brake problem was fixed although the tech told me it was not, and refused compensation. Bottom line: if you buy a lemon, you own a lemon, it's your problem. Other irritating features: Squeaky windshield wipers, had to replace to maintain my sanity. Excessive drivetrain noise. I installed sound deadening insulation in the floor front and back seat and the noise continued. 3 of 4 out of round tires replaced due to drivetrain noise. The irritating noise continued. I now drive a 2019 Altima SL without drive train noise. Enjoy the ride.

[@TNCDRUMS]

Hey Justin, does the EX have the upgraded speaker system? If so, how does it sound?

[@jayhuynh19]

TNC DRUMS i think the touring is the only trim that had an upgraded sound system

[@JustinFullerReviews]

It does offer more speakers than the base. It sound good for a factory system. Enough for the average person I would say. At the EXL level the wattage increases and you gain a sub. And the Touring is more premium,.

[@rebelwithacause5217]

It’s not ok that it doesnt have lumbar support!

[@AloysiusVelocitor]

Agreed! But apparently, you can't have power seats And lumbar support in a 2020 Civic Hatch. I'm not sure why; It may be either that at a ton and a half they can't afford the weight, or it might be that because, you know, Honda.

So verses the sport how does everyone compare those? I'm trying to decide what I want.

The Sport has a little bit stiffer suspension. You will most likely notice it in the ride. And moving down you are giving up: Heated Front Seats One-Touch Power Moonroof with Tilt Feature Dual-Zone Automatic Climate Control System Honda LaneWatch If you do not mind giving these up I would go with the Sport and save the money. I do think the 18 inch wheels and under-body spoiler kits looks pretty awesome. Those do not come on the EX, but do on the Sport.
