It’s why I’m so confused why there’s so much backlash online about the way this thing looks, from a lot of Honda people. They’re always lamenting not having the simple back- to-basics approach from the cars in the 90s, and this thing, even visually, harkens back to those days. And they all hate it. It’s so dumb.

With really clean shooting/editing, too? And nice audio? Best car channel, hands-down.

[@Vicobop]

I really liked the interior review. You make a convincing case for WHY piano black is bad for commonly touched surfaces, why good black levels are important on all digital clusters, and why good matte physical controls matter. You also explain how the layout can be clean while still retaining the important ergonomics from physical controls. I'm really glad Honda has continued in this direction in a time when a lot of new cars seem designed for flashiness without consideration for practicality. I just wish they offered more than an all-black interior. This car's interior design begs for it.

[@erranzimmermann1207]

Agreed on all points. Would be great to see some two-toning for visual variety, but otherwise all great features.

[@Unchainedmaple888]

Yet you can literally see him touch the gloss black on the steering wheel when he's pressing the steering wheel buttons. Of all the places to put gloss black, why on the damn steering wheel? And when you go to adjust the vents, you're going to rest your hands/get your fingerprints on all that gloss black around the vents and central dash area. You won't touch the gloss black on the door, but all the gloss black in the interior will collect dust.

[@Vicobop]

@@Unchainedmaple888 I did notice that gloss black on the steering wheel. It's not the worst but it's misplaced I'll agree.

2023 Civic type R: "Somebody say they wanted something other than black interior? I got you fam"

[@DainLaguna]

It blows my mind how much space this has in the hatch. I’ve seen some people bellyaching about the price of this thing compared to like an accord, but this is way more practical than a accord? As long as you’re OK with a slightly smaller interior space. This has more cargo capacity than something like a Subaru crosstrek , and drives infinitely better. There’s so much space in the back of this thing that you could make a case for getting this over something like a CX-5 which doesn’t really have that much more appreciable cargo room or interior space. Unless you just really wanna be up high, there’s no reason to choose a cuv. Honda nailed it.

[@chocolatewheelchair]

Costs more than the accord

The interior harkens back to their simple yet refined designs of the 1980's and 90's. Low cowl, dash and belt line with lots of glass and straight lines. Glad to see Honda moved away from the Sci-Fi bathtub interiors of the mid 2000's onward.

Looks like a great product overall. The interior looks awesome. I love dashboards that are low and not a mile long. I also like dashboards that you won't hit your knee on every time you get in and out like the Corolla. The digital cluster not being garbage is fantastic. Metal honeycomb instead of crap plastic is also nice. Good visibility is also huge, part of why I love Subaru. Finally, offering a manual is just a cherry on top. Honda going back to tuning their cars for great driving and good usability is really the best move. I've been surprised at how expensive the Civic has gotten, but at least they're making it seem worth it.

[@eloneatmyshorts]

@Incomudro fully agreed. If you loved VW's exceptional and high quality designed interiors of the Mk7 Golf variants, Honda picked it up here with this new Civic (VW, you blew it with the Mk8). I'm highly impressed.

[@johnstone7697]

Sorry, but there's no way I'd go from a GTI to this. . This Civic is nice enough as an entry level DD, but there's no real excitement in the performance, and the look is ...meh. Maybe the SI will put it over the top, but honestly, I'm not interested in a 6MT at this point in my life, and there's no CVT in my future. If they offered an actual auto box like the Accord, or some kind of DSG, I might change my mind. I'll give VW the chance to take care of the worst issues on the interior in the mid cycle refresh....which I'm sure they'll do. In spite of the funky dash, the Mk 8 drives brilliantly as seen is SG's previous video. Meanwhile, my '16 Mk 7 is serving me just fine.

[@g60corrado91]

@@johnstone7697 if you look at the big 3 in Europe, VAG, BMW, and Benz, they’re all going Haptic Touch with interiors. I’m sure they can make some improvements, but the core layout of the Mk8 and future VAG products are getting away from physical buttons. And from a numbers standpoint, yeah, even the 6MT Sport Touring HB has nothing on the GTI/R. That’s more in the Si/CTR variants. Sadly, Honda thinks that making an Si HB would interfere with CTR sales, so sedan only.

Honestly? With the exception of the straightahead speed that the 3 offers, in that one specific trim level, I’m not seeing anything that the 3 is dynamically capable of that outweighs how much better the civic is at utility. like yes I do dig the styling. But the styling isn’t so nice that it completely counteracts how good the interior of the civic is space wise. Or how the hatchback in the civic is actually useful.

And yes, being in my 40s, I hated the over-styling of the previous gen and wouldn't even consider it as an option, but this, while it doesn't really have a 'wow' factor, it's more digestible than some Anime-type design.

I had been looking at CUVs like the Kona and Seltos, but there were too many drawbacks. My research led me to the Civic Hatchback, and I bought one a few days ago. I was able to get exactly what I wanted: sport touring with the CVT in Boost Blue Pearl. Loving it!

[@3rdWorldNola]

You lucky dog. All I could find was a 2 month waiting list in a red sport hatch. I put the 500 down but then I saw the 22 Corolla nightshade SE and got that. Actually gotta make sure the Honda salesperson refunded my $500 back.

[@the-truth-hurts]

@@3rdWorldNola The market was tight 7 months ago, but not nearly as bad as it is now. I would not be able to replicate this success in June 2022. I was concerned things might get worse before they get better. I got lucky with the timing.

I bought one like yours in the Pearl white metallic with the grey/black interior. Just waiting on my window tint and it will be perfect. Drives great. Stereo is amazing. Lots of room and my passengers are comfortable in the front and back

i just put down half a deposit on one of these today (sport touring hatchback) and im coming out of a 3 year lease on a 2019 accord EX i loved my accord but i simply didnt need anything that big im super excited for my car to get here just need to wait for it to arrive run a credit check and then sign it all up im pumped im also getting alot more out of this car than on my old accord. great review im truly psyched to get mine

In all honesty I would choose that intro music. I listened to it over and over 10 times. It’s fabulous. Good music is becoming the new signature of those geese. ;))

[@bryanmchugh1307]

The INTERIOR in this thing is amazing. Watching the video and being able to really get a good view of all the windows especially the rear hatch glass is VERY impressive. Still the Mazda 3 is on a slightly higher level. Turbo with AWD? If the 3 had this Hondas amazing interior it would be a home run.

Thanks for the great in-depth review!

Looking forward to finding a Honda Civic hatchback manual. I love hatchbacks but being a "senior citizen" I just couldn't get myself to buy the prior generation since it was too (how do I say tastefully) "young" looking. :-) (Since 1982 I've had at least one or more Hondas in the driveway. Once they stopped the hatchback I had to go to SUV though.)

Old people buy hatchbacks too! :) They are God's gift to those who don't wanna have to buy a damn CUV/SUV (and all the compromises thereof) to carry around stuff, and have sedan-fun driving at the same time. Kinda wish you guys woulda driven the 1.5 turbo with manual trans for the driving enthusiasts (who also need a "common sense" car), and commented more on it's relative fun-to-drive-ness.

[@hixnada8278]

Wry excited for this car. Love how the styling has been ‘matured’ and the fact you can get it as a 6 speed manual. Very interested in how the Si will drive and look. I come from a Honda family, and while most of us have moved into the Pilot and Odyssey’s phase of life, I’m still a die hard car guy.

[@NorthwoodsNomad]

Nice review ! Thumbs up 👍 I’m happy to see the hatchback making its way back again, definitely gives a lot more versatility and practicality for all around usefulness. Love the manual option ( that’s the way I’d personally go ) I’m curious about the engine options though , the 2.0 @ 158 hp vs the 1.5 turbo charged @ 180 hp I think there’s better longevity and fuel economy with the 2.0 ? Perhaps less overall maintenance and ownership costs ( including initial purchase price ) I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ but I’d like to see your driving review final thoughts on the 2.0 manual hatchback .

Chuffed that this is so good. We’re getting the hybrid in the UK, soon. I just hope it gets the great reviews like yours, in the UK. I fear it won’t, because our journalists seem too Golf and compact BMW, Audi and Merc biased. In reality, a Honda will rarely let their owner down compared to those other marques and now they’ll have their upmarket feel with a practicality that is top notch. The UK needs this car to succeed brilliantly and get folk out of their over rated German cars and into this wonderful Honda……and save some money and ownership hassle. Great review.
