2022 Honda Civic Hatchback Sport Touring REVIEW & TEST DRIVE

[@Saturdayz_In_The_Fall]

I hope this wins the North American Car of the Year in 2022. Honda did a magnificent job on this civic and you really get the most bang for your buck. I love my 2022 Civic Sport

[@coraga1726]

Congratulations on your new Honda.

[@richscott2483]

The 2022 Civic came in 3rd place for North American Car of the Year. It did make the finals. The funny thing is, the 2021 Civic was worst than the 2022 Civic but did take home the prize last year. The voting was rigged. You know that Honda's reliability went way down with the 10th Generation mainly due to the 1.5L Turbo "Earths Dream" engine for Oil Dilution.

Our family had a first generation 1979 Civic. We had it in Detroit in the early 1980s. Lots of hatred directed our way and angry drivers giving us their angst at stop lights. We were pioneers driving that cream yellow Japanese car around in Metro Detroit. We survived!

Do you have to turn auto stop-start off every time you get into the vehicle? If so, these auto manufactures could change that in a software updated, so that if you turn it off, it stays off. Until you hit the button again.

Do you recommend civic or integra or ilx 2022? Which Laura would you take? The hard question.

[@CarCoachReports]

I will see the new Integration on Thursday, I prefer the manual transmission.

Ilx = Civic with a Acura badge.

[@bashfullJ88]

The Civic is a better choice. The Integra is over priced for basically the same car.

[@sunshinecycling]

Can you disable the start/stop function permanently, or do you have to hit that button every time you start the car up?

[@kenhoward3512]

I would think, every time you restart the engine.

It doesn’t do it in sport mode. You can also buy a bypass device.

Why the sport hatch was the most popular in the previous generation as well as the one holding most value? Do you expect this to be the same with this generation while the difference is minimal with the LX except for the tires? Would the LX be the most to hold value in resale or others?

While the tech of the little Civic showing its headlights on is cool I doubt it will help people with turning their headlights on at night time. I drive for a living and it's a real problem out there with no headlights or just DRL's on. The tech that's NEEDED is your dash lights ONLY come on when the headlights are turned on, pretty simple...maybe that's the problem, the people engineering this are too smart for OUR own good🤔🙄

[@JustinAdams84]

Honda did not listen to customer when it came to making this new Civic. They completely ignored a lot of requests like lumbar support. Lots of missing features unless you get a Touring. HD radio and Sirius only in Touring no longer an option in EX. Honda hating it’s customers for a money grab. HondaLink is a waste of space on your device as the Civic is unable to partake in the features HondaLink was created for. The car is dumber down in Sport and EX and EX-L models. Making moving to my 4th Civic very hard because the Touring is not available or they are keeping pricing higher than marked.

[@klasseact6663]

This isn't directed at you Lauren but I've been hearing "normally" aspirated instead of what I've been used to hearing which is "natrually" aspirated, why have people been changing this🤔 It's kinda like how dates have been being pronounced lately too...like today is November 11 TH, not November eleven.

Cross costs more that's why and 169hp with that weight in a cross is SLOW 0 to 60 mph in about 10 seconds vs the Civic Turbo 0 to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds. The new turbo's are reliable prove me wrong with statistics.
