I disagree on the center console, the entire configurable storage area including the recessed cupholders is sooo much more useful than the fixed alternatives on every other car.

[@dhsurg3048]

Lane watch is great, I have it on my 2018 Civic EX sedan and I use it frequently to check traffic near me and prior to lane changes to right. I wish more cars had this feature.

[@Roslynguy]

I honestly like the idea of the camera, there are way too many people who do not check their blind spots.

[@shakirabells6955]

love the screen monitor not over size this is my one of my favorite

[@secordman]

I had a rental 2020 Civic for a weekend, base model though. Comfortable, drove nicely, accelerated very well. Took me awhile to figure out the Android Auto setup, the info screen as well. If you have a cup with a handle the cupholders aren't ideal. Gas mileage is great. Don't need eco mode. Civic visibility was better than my midsize car but not as good as the SUV I drive now. Also harder to get in and out of (too low). Not crazy about part of the climate controls being onscreen. But it's still a good quality car, every car has some quirkiness to work out.

[@TofuCate]

The center stack is actually very nice. Not sure why you're complaining about it. It looks clean because it's able to hide the cupholders. It's able to hide the usb cable underneath so you don't see it when you connect it to your phone, and the console is very customizable. You can remove trays/separators you don't want.

[@L4u84S]

Thank you for the "ride quality" comments. I want to get 2nd car and this is one of the cars on my list for affordability, but I was afraid it might not be a smooth ride. This gets my hopes up until I take one for a test drive and see for myself.

[@rj9617]

Good review!

[@phil5053]

Used this car to pass my drive test. Amazing car

[@kennitodevangavani891]

My man has variable height 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@yogirltee]

Saving for this car want it next year this time ❤❤❤!!

[@carolynsmith9027]

me too!

[@artagain8977]

Nice but imho, the seating position is way too low even at the high position. One of my friends has one and getting in and out is a pita.

[@mohamedfaroktagroba]

nice video 👍

[@hermanwooster8944]

I believe they're getting rid of lanewatch camera on the 2022 11th gen Civic. They already swapped out the camera for traditional blindspot monitoring on the hybrid Honda Insight. For those wondering, the lanewatch camera is only on the right side. For the left side, you have to look over your shoulder, so blindspot monitoring will give you a left-side warning for your blindspot.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

The more gadgets we put on vehicles, the less skilled drivers we have. If my side mirrors are adjusted properly, all it takes is me moving my head up or back about 8 inches to see everything there is to see in either blind spot.

[@RaychelD2400]

@@watchmanonthewall14 exactly. I learned on a car with no backup camera. I love the backup camera. It shows my surroundings before I backup, but I always look behind me when I backup .

[@dblissmn]

Who is the reviewer? It's pretty well done.

[@mattybbw533]

That’s Richard Bukake! He’s new but he’s doing a great job ☺️

[@pdlynch4330]

I like the back of the sedan way better (no breathing strip) and find the center stack super handy. I leave a cable tethered to my phone holder on the dash. To the right of the steering. At 6’1’’, the seat cuts into my leg. Other than that, it’s perfect. I bought an obus form, problem solved. Nissan is junk. Love the screen that doesn’t pop out like an iPad afterthought. New 2022 Civics have the iPad screen.

[@LafreberyleUSA]

Good job

[@stefanelius5171]

Wow Honda 🤤

[@careyhinds5086]

Smh, you are complaining about the USB cord placement. Once you put a cord you don’t have to move it. Who takes there cord out every time they leave the car. Cords a $10, anyone driving that car can afford one. Stop Trying to find things that are wrong.

[@vnitto]

Smh get off Honda’s jock lol

[@oscarmadera8267]

Lol

[@tungstenwhizard4361]

How is the visibility? I know the Mazda 3 especially after resign struggles significantly in this category. Don't get me wrong, the Mazda looks fantastic. The design is beautiful! But I'd rather have safety than beauty.

[@RaychelD2400]

Visibility in a civic is REALLY GOOD

[@pinoykidboxer]

Why does this look and feel a world of difference compared to a Civic released in Asia. Philippines in particular.

[@msbrownbeast]

Big blind spot from large A pillars/side mirrors. Lousy integrated tach/speedometer. The tach is very difficult to read with tiny little red needle.

[@mensahtalk2367]

it gots some giddyup Huh

[@yasserabdeen9642]

I am wondering in the case of losing breaks while driving, in the past there was a Hand Break which helps you to stop the car mechanically by raising up the Hand Break bit by bit to stop the car gradually, so how the driver can do that with the Push button Emergency Break?

[@brianna_lynch]

Do 2020 Honda civics have adaptive cruise control and lane assist like Honda CRVs have?

[@max.8063]

Yes :)

[@juliust.gayagas4022]

I really like the exterior design of the current civic,but i'm just wondering how long the cvt last compare to traditional automatic.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

Don't know, but from everything I've read and watched, the CVT has greatly improved since the beginning days. Most or all of the bugs are out of it, and I am told that they last much longer now.

[@juliust.gayagas4022]

@@watchmanonthewall14 i certainly hope so sir, i guess the cvt is the way to the future for transmission technology. It worth to note that cvt was so fuel efficient compare to traditional transmission which something i like about cvt.

[@RaychelD2400]

I dont like my right side camera when i put on my turn signal

[@MathuV94]

Then why did you buy it?

[@MrEliteLolz]

@@MathuV94 maybe for the rest of the car?

[@RaychelD2400]

@@MathuV94 I just don’t care for that part. I love my civic though. It’s an amazing car. It drives really well and it is fun to drive. I just find that side camera...annoying. I never use it I do shoulder checks

[@srijoybhattacharya9241]

You know a review is biased when he doesnt mention the cons 😂

[@itzed]

I’ll take the 2.0 keep my oil undiluted thank you.

[@hermanwooster8944]

Honda claims they fixed it. It's still unknown if they did or not, but the na 2.0 will likely last much longer than the turbocharged 1.5.

[@itzed]

@E4U Desi Channel the NA engine has the best likelihood of obtaining high mileage with the fewest repairs and least cost of ownership.

[@hermanwooster8944]

@E4U Desi Channel NA = naturally aspirated, as opposed to a turbocharged engine. He is endorsing the 2.0l engine. As a very general rule, larger, naturally aspirated engines last longer than smaller engines with turbo chargers.

[@hermanwooster8944]

@E4U Desi Channel There are a lot of factors that go into MPG estimates including the weight of the vehicle, how fast you accelerate, and how much you drive in the city versus on the highway. The Sport and LX trims are so similar that I can't say that one will be definitively better than the other. You might find the Sport gives you the same or better mileage, but if the Sport does give you only 32 MPG, then all that means is you will have to fill up the car with gasoline a little bit more often. Depending on where you live and how much you drive, it will come out to spending approximately $50 more per year on gasoline, but you won't notice anything else. I don't think that sounds like too big of a difference, but it's solely up to you if that is worth it.

[@hermanwooster8944]

@E4U Desi Channel Glad I was able to help. Take care.

[@saeedredrose]

Honda still using that garbage Android based entertainment syatem. it is the same Android that was being used in Galaxy S3 2011.

[@hermanwooster8944]

The Accord and Insight use a more modern interface. The 2022 Civic should have an updated system when released next year.

[@shawnzaliznock888]

Exactly stay away from a turbocharged honda or any turbo gdi fuel in any car company in section engine oil dilution ruining it all keep the non turbo and if you can get the honda before gdi with just multi port fuel injection and they run forever same with Toyota I would only buy a honda or Toyota with a non turbo and non gdi im not sure of just God without the turbo no experience but if you want a 500k+ mile car buy a non turbo none gdi honda or Toyota

[@princeduties2991]

I don’t like the interior

[@srijoybhattacharya9241]

The 2020 civic touring has sluggist performance, steering wheels dont feel good and brakes dont feel good either, everything else is good, I wouldnt buy one tho.

[@williamprocarione4223]

I'm sorry but that thing is absolutely ugly
