2020 Honda Civic Hatchback Review | Best Daily Driver?

[@andrewfrastaci1231]

I haven’t been looking at Civics lately, but I tend to only see the sedan being reviewed. Good choice on specifically reviewing the hatch.

[@DarkKitarist]

2 months and 3 days till I get my 2020 Honda Civic Sport Plus... Been waiting since the May 4th... May the force be with, because the wait is real...

[@FurkanSavas]

I got mine 2 months ago in red and manual, enjoying it since day 1! btw just one tip, change the sound settings because the bas will be bad at standard...

[@jamesgand828]

WTF is the "Sport Plus"? is that some European version?

[@inboundspies099]

how’s the car

[@berrex5152]

HOW IS THE CAR??

a trick : you can watch movies on kaldroStream. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.

[@MikeFyxdt]

I’ve owned lots of Hondas and they were all money well spent. Very thorough review for anyone in the market!

[@goldpony]

Appreciate it Mike!

[@Wilerdar]

Picking up my civic sport on monday! I cant wait!

[@SK-lt1so]

Handling is great, drives like a go-cart. Stops on a dime, point it and it will go exactly where you want. With 6MT in traffic that's open enough to allow some speed, it's a blast.

[@keithjackson4985]

I'm on my third SI. A 2018. I live in Michigan and need a car that can still hustle through a snowstorm. Have seen many Mustang and Camaro drivers try and handle winters here. Don't do it! No v8 power, but still a blast to drive. I also like the feature content on these vehicles. Thanks for the video.

I needed a major upgrade from my old car and I just got a blue Hatchback LX and I'm loving it 🥰

[@goldpony]

Awesome! Congrats!

[@midnightvalkyrie]

@howzit3000 from my experience I think the blue really makes the car stand out more and if you want something different than the normal colors I think you will like the blue 😊 The metallic gives it a smooth and sleek look and I can see why people rock it 😁 it's more neutral in color and goes good with the sporty look that it gives off.

[@Throttl.Therapy]

Been looking to buy another commuter and I think I made up my mind after your review 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Jeremy_810]

I was planning on getting a nice truck for $20k or less for my winter ride until I found out how ridiculous the pricing is on 4x4 trucks. It seems like a much better choice to get something like this that's brand new for just a few grand more

[@LeloBeatz]

Stay gold pony boy. I have the 2019 honda civic ex hatchback. I love itttttt

[@imawesome5367]

How much gas per kilometer does it consume?

[@caglioso]

Hey I’m on my 4th civic as well. Just got a Sport Touring Hatch. It’s absolutely perfect.

[@battosaijenkins946]

God, I want to like the new hatchback I really do, but those extra accents in those gaping black holes just make it more 'busier'. Everyones been complaining about those big ass holes for years and thats their solution?! Ugh...

[@OmegaGrape]

That's what I'm about to get. How's the speed?

[@caglioso]

Battosai Jenkins style is always subjective so to each their own, though I happen to really love the look with the black vents especially with the blue color I have mine in.

[@caglioso]

OmegaGrape it’s excellent. I’m never left hunting for more power. And when you shift into sport mode and start paddle shifting it’s a blast. If you really wanted to get into it you could also get a ktuner or Hondata unit to add even more power, but it’s by no means necessary.

[@OmegaGrape]

@@caglioso Do you notice any "rubber band effect" like how people complain about with CVT transmissions??

[@Sk8terCD]

Love the review. I will be picking up the sports touring version soon.

[@freebird0147]

No you won't

[@opposegroup-think3328]

Excellent review GP. I want to buy one of these gems.

Awesome! Appreciate it! 😁

[@algerae1984]

Omg thank u so much for doing the speaker test forreal

[@bertuncaydin8384]

what do you think about CVT transmission for this car? I m planning to buy 2020 Civic Hatchback Sport

[@linoftw]

That color is amazing

[@alsojuja]

Nice and descriptive, with excellent info on what the different trim levels give you. I would've liked to hear an assessment of some of the sensing features, like adaptive cruise control and collision warning. Some cars don't implement these well, including the Civic according to some reviews.

[@dag1869]

Very thorough review. Good job!

[@goldpony]

Thanks!

[@AeroDude73]

What’s the name of this white paint color? They usually have exotic names for them, & I assume it’s an added cost?

[@haleymallard9071]

Steven Tyler I just bought a 2020 sport hatchback in this color Saturday and it was the same price as the others

[@lyndahammel9502]

Good review

[@goldpony]

Thanks!

[@younged510]

The LX base model with no turbo should not have oil dilution problem right???

[@eldrich8774]

I have the 2020 honda civic hatchback sport, would the max speed still be 180?

[@sumonkay]

They got rid of the fake vents. Good!

[@subvet3668]

sumon kakati, not really. They could have actually updated the bumpers but instead took the cheap easy route and simply modified the fake vent style pieces. The pieces are still the same size just modified. Wish they had actually got rid of them altogether and shape the rear better.

[@Elvis-uv5km]

Was debating on this or a 2020 camaro leaning towards camaro for my first car

[@westwood3286]

Start with a honda,awesome mpg,lower insurance cost,and lower lease cost.you will save thousands so u can use when ur ready for a Camaro

[@Elvis-uv5km]

west wood decided on the camaro its going to be both around 25k and I wouldn’t have time to save up money for another car going into college

[@yoyohooyo]

My 2016 civic/lemon with 16,000 miles on it problems. 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. 3 of 4 out of round tires replaced due to drivetrain noise While driving the car/death trap a computer error caused the parking brake to engage four times in series sliding the retires amd jerking the car. The Honda service department said they could not/did not 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. Their 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. Enjoy the ride.

[@robertgraham5486]

Excellent review save for the music

[@jeffc1347]

This guy looks maybe 30 years old and has owned 4 Civic's, and took his last one over 200,000 miles. Does this guy do nothing but drive his Civics all day every day??

[@goldpony]

At the time this guy had an hour 45min drive to work so yea basically lol

[@petercarmody4897]

You said that the LX comes with the 1.5 L turbo. I only see on the Honda websites that that trim comes only with the 2.0 L.

[@coreyclark75]

Peter Carmody Only the hatchback lx has a 1.5 L turbo. Coupe and sedan lx have 2.0 L. :)

[@christophers5510]

*QUESTION:* for Civic hatch, only the Sport Touring has LED headlamps. could those same headlamps fit the EX hatch, if someone wanted to buy them?

[@snooooopycomehome]

Please advise if this model has blind spot monitoring on the left side. I have limited mobility in my neck due to a 5 disc fusion so this feature is a must! HRV I tested didnt have it and it severely lacked power. Especially on highway merging.

[@salmanza5568]

Mr. Pony. Why do you have an East Florida accent but live in PA?

[@henrynguyen1585]

Dilema, does the cargo cover give away you are hiding something?

[@goldpony]

Na.. just about every hatch comes with them these days

[@user-daviddog]

Did they not make the si

Thanks! 😁

[@AeroDude73]

Does it say what speaker brand they use? Just curious.

[@goldpony]

They didn't mention it on their website unfortunately so probably something from the manufacturer 👍

[@newkoreathreekingdom]

Does it still have oil dilution problems?

[@MinhVu-in9iz]

Yes, stay away from the 1.5 turbo!!

[@SK-lt1so]

No! No one actually knows the degree or the significance of the issue! Just the phrase "oil dilution problems"!

[@Ari-in7pn]

Minh Vu can you explain?

[@MinhVu-in9iz]

Ari Honda 1.5 turbo engine have oil dilution problem, both in their civic and crv model, short trip and cold weather causes the engine to not be hot enough to burn the excessive gas, look up oil dilution problems!!

[@Ari-in7pn]

Minh Vu thanks for explaining it, thankfully I live in cali and cold weather isnt a problem

[@fjfjrfjfjr]

What’s not to like?!😊

[@brandyflores279]

I can’t decide between the 2020 Toyota Camry or this 2020 Civic Hatchback

tk4227 yep.

[@younged510]

@@coreyclark75 what about the LX no Turbo, that car shouldn't have issues because of no turbo right?? Man I am torn between this and a mazda 3 hatch, I really like the 3 but it's really cramped, lots of blindside, and I have a Family of four and it's more expensive now and again very little room for a Family guy and more expensive then the civic. I just need a good base car not too expensive, a hatchback, reliable with room with no issues in the next 3 years..

[@coreyclark75]

younged 510 The 2.0 Naturally aspirated is totally fine. I use to have an Ex sedan with the 2.0. I changed my own oil and never had that issue. However, if you are going for a hatch without that issue, go with the 3. All civic hatchbacks have the 1.5 turbo engine.

[@younged510]

@@coreyclark75 I just called civic there is a base model lx without a Turbo I also looked online so you think that one is good to go??

[@coreyclark75]

younged 510 So far no issues with my civic hatch for the past few months, I just change the oil more frequently.

Now 👍

Why Honda is not using blind-spot monitoring like the rest of the industry is beyond me - lanewatch system is stupid! For this reason alone I'm considering Kia Forte!

[@R3putaytion13]

At the time it was a cheaper alternative, kind of an experimental technique. Hyundai and Kia will be rolling out their version of lanewatch too on more models

[@DANNYMAND1]

I love the 10th Generation Civic. I had a 2016 Sedan Touring that I sold with 102,000 mi. Mine was one of the early production models and it suffered from the black screen infotainment issues that were eventually fixed with a software update. Other than that, It was really a breakthrough car in this class. I am now looking at the 2020 sport touring hatch with the manual transmission. I can't find one to test drive at the moment, just the cvt's are available in my area. The modified power drivers seats for 2020 have the independent bottom seat angle adjustment. It is a big improvement and they now can fit me perfectly.

[@jacekkawecki7477]

Blind spot monitoring is avalible in Europe 😉

[@cyrano661]

Lol. You’re going for the Kia because Honda doesn’t have blind spot monitoring? Wow! I love where your priorities are.

[@lexluv9]

But anywho ;-)

[@Tigerstyle1979]

That music is so horrible. Why?

[@SteveLombardi58]

CVT, no thanks

[@madcowusa4277]

$22,000 for a base civic? GTFO. Should be $14,000 and take off all that "safety" camera/radar/electronic crap.

[@coltonparsons4852]

To bad they have terrible oil dilution that causes premature wear. No more reliability. 😅

[@younged510]

Hi I am recently trying to buy a Civic, I read that the oil dilution only occurs with the 1.5 turbo with improper mixing.. so would it be safe to say LX is the best bang with no issue.. LX no Turbo..

[@coltonparsons4852]

younged 510 Yes. The 2.0 naturally aspirated are phenomenal engines. I’m sure Honda will figure out the problems in the future but I wouldn’t risk your money until they do!

[@Channel21Jaymz]

6.4 secs? Lol Sure. Try 7.2 if you're lucky. (Real world test in my 18 hatch sport.)

[@OMARADTR]

Horrible music choice

[@sinnieleeonUtube]

Honda and Toyota cars look uglier every year. I rather get the SUV like the Cross Trek. What is all the hype with this fucking civic Type R and SI. I just don't get it. I rather pay a little more for the Lexus RC.

[@JeffSpehar-ov1cn]

Honda's suck ass.
