2020 Honda Civic SPORT PLUS (1.5 Turbo 182 HP - Manual Gearbox) | 4K POV TEST DRIVE

[@Fhrivneoauf]

That's a nice amount of power there: not enough to land you with big bills, but enough to have fun (for most people...)

[@MIKROBI219]

Someday I will count how many gear changes you made during this 9 minutes. Many of them does not make sense for me, but I do understand that gear changes in honda could be pleasure and class of its own :-)

[@UnlimitedAuto]

Hello Mikrobi! Yes I know 😅, but that road has speed limit and couldn’t force myself to drive most of the times at high revs! The manual gear is so great that makes you change “because you can” or “just for fun”! Since I can’t drive faster than 100km/h, at least I can change gears whenever I want 😂. Thank you!

[@TheTimeSte]

does it have rev hang? is it annoying?

[@kostasmarmaras5405]

@@TheTimeSte yes it does have some but you get used to it

[@riley1733]

@@TheTimeSte Mine doesn't. I have the 2018 LX Coupe and mine doesn't do that at all. No idea why people are saying theirs is rev hanging. As soon as you put the clutch in mine, it'll drop the rpms. Only thing mine does (not sure if this is just my car or other people with the Coupes have noticed this) is after it's been off for awhile (5 or more hours I'd say), the rpms will drop crazy low (500-600rpm) if you let out the clutch out like you normally would if the car was warmed up. You really gotta keep giving it gas and slowly let off the clutch for a good 10-15 minutes before or the rpms will drop very low to the point it'll feel like you'll stall the car. As I've said, I don't know if the other Coupes do this as I don't know anyone else who owns a Coupe. I've driven a standard 2019 Sedan and it doesn't do that. The Sedan I drove doesn't have the rev hang either (or if it does, it's not noticeable). I wouldn't worry about the rev hang. It's not as bad as people say it is. I've driven a couple other standard cars before as well and those ones didn't rev hang either.

[@SafetyNugget]

Absolutely love this car. Had mine for going on 5 months now and I still look forward to everytime I get to drive it. So much fun to drive, the sound of the lil turbo spinning makes my day, such an impressive Civic ❤️. Literally in love with that thing 😁😁.

[@eslameddinghalebi1]

I believe there is a huge difference between 1.0 and 1.5, in fact the 1.5 turbo is about 200HP crank tested.

[@cayetanolopez851]

I have automatic Honda hatchback sport 1.5t. What does Honda “Plus” mean?

[@shadowmatt911]

@@cayetanolopez851 The plus is actually an export to Mexico and other south American countries. This trim is not available to the domestic US market. It's essentially a beefed up sport that doesn't quite meet the EX-L trim. There is also an LX+ model which is export only. The main difference to you though, assuming you live in the US, is simply safety features. The PLUS trims do not have as many safety features built-in as they are not required by law there.

[@Kaan-on8mn]

@@cayetanolopez851 in turkey this is the fullest trim but it comes with manual only which is so much better than cvt

[@Gunzberg]

@@cayetanolopez851 It's top end trim in Europe "Sport Plus" for manual. Top-end for auto CVT in Europe is "Executive"

[@riley1733]

I have the 2018 LX Coupe with the standard transmission and I absolutely love it. Crazy fun to drive. I have a question for anyone who owns a standard Coupe or has driven a standard Coupe before however. I've noticed that when I cold start mine (after it's been off for 5 or more hours), if I take off and let the clutch out as I normally would when the car is warmed up, the rpms will drop crazy low and it feels like I'm gonna stall thew car (like 500-600rpm). Only does that when the car is cold. Has anyone else with a Coupe or who has driven a Coupe noticed this?

[@trill2dabone]

I don't have this car but I had the same issues. I took it garage after garage being told nothing was wrong and how the car needs to warm up, come to find out I was misfiring

[@xiaoyu88]

when this happen you need to check: throttle body - and clean it if neccesary. then check for spark plugs (wanting to stall usually happen all the time and not only when cold) but still a thing to check as Ive seen in the past. another thing to check while youre going for the spark plugs is coils which will be probably it. a dying coil can still function well at times. good luck bro and drive safe.

[@nunopinho7574]

Parece ser um motor espetacular... Uma duvida, o motor é ruidoso? abraço

[@UnlimitedAuto]

Olá Nuno! Quando se tem uma condução diária sem grandes acelerações, é um motor mesmo muito silencioso. Só mesmo em situações que o puxamos acima das 4.000rpm é que se torna num som “vivo” 😄. Um abraço!

[@wilberfwas422]

[@solemaniac]

What the is button you pressed on top of the eco button ?

[@UnlimitedAuto]

That button was to change the suspension! You can have it more comfortable, or when you press it, it gets “harder”

I own this CVT and it seems quicker than mine... i almost NEVER floor it though always less than 50% throttle

The flywheel is too heavy in this car. The rev hang between gear changes is terrible.

[@jankisty9704]

European CO2 emission 6 requires it....

[@MegaPepsimax]

I will completely agree with the rev hang, its not bad normal driving, but when you want to shift fast, you find yourself forcing the engine into the next gear.

[@jankisty9704]

@@MegaPepsimax You have to revmatch.

Not the best! You can “turn” it around with your hand 🙄

Olá Paulo! Infelizmente como é uma estrada com restrições, não podíamos puxar da maneira que queríamos. Tendo em conta que a velocidade máxima permitida é 100km/h, não fazia sentido deixar a 3ª mudança 😅. Seguindo isso, as trocas de mudanças rápidas e sem puxar muito, deve-se para deixar o carro “neutro” sem grandes abusos. Um abraço!

Boa tarde Nuno, O nosso canal por norma lança dois vídeos sobre o mesmo modelo. Um deles em modo POV (este) onde oferecemos aos nossos seguidores uma pequena “noção” de como é conduzir. O segundo, uma review mais completa e detalhada. Neste caso não irá sair uma review, tendo em conta que por vezes não conseguimos dar a atenção que gostávamos devido a outros ensaios. Neste vídeo, é apenas uma “amostra de condução” e não com a finalidade de integrar uma fala. Espero que compreenda, Um abraço 😊
