[@viggysmols6387]

first off, it’s fiber glass to help keep weight low, which most cars on the market have so i don’t know why that’s a complaint. also the car doesn’t need a wing... it’s not a fast car, it’s a daily driver. the wing will just slow it down. and the performance complaint, same thing. this is also the second cheapest trim on the hatchback so you can’t expect the highest quality stuff because it’s a cheap car (24k) you cant compare this car to a car double it’s price. this is an issue i’ve seen all over youtube. just compare it to cars in its price range

[@feelzgoodmane6517]

Point 1) You bought a mid-spec hatchback. Of course there's plastic. The NSX is like 120K and has plastic lol. Nobody buys Honda for interior quality. Point 2) The car already looks aggressive enough. It doesn't need a fake wing to make it look riced.. Point 3) If you want a brand new car with over 200hp for less than £25,000, you're screwed. Affordable performance is a thing of the past if you want a current car. Even the new GTI only has 245hp and that starts at over 30k! Get a ktuner if 180 is too low damn. Point 4) FFS mid-spec. Point 5) Were you expecting a Bose? Bro you seem pretty out of touch with what to expect from cars. You even threw in a ram air intake for no reason lol.

[@enngee312]

Let’s face it, if anybody wants performance then get the Type R. This car is just for the looks, seriously. You can see people testing this car in many videos here on YT, they step on the gas, it takes a while for the thing to get going! Firstly, the CVT, second, turbos have lag and thirdly is a 1.5L engine. Honda sells the sport badge as if it has tons of horsepower, in reality, it’s all about the looks… car sometimes sits lower, bigger wheels thin tires, stiffer suspension, aggressive LOOKS, you step on the gas… goes nowhere!!! The complaint about plastic, everything is plastic… including headlights… you’re probably too young but they used to be glass. If anybody wants metal then you need to look at cars from the old days!

[@Kagemusha320]

This IS in fact a fast car, in the corners. This chassis was not built for straight-line speed, much like its bigger sister, the Type R. The Fk7 has the exact same chassis as the Type R minus 2 welds to the frame that the Type R has. This is a fast cornering car. I do "spirited" driving with my FK7 on many mountain pass roads over here in California with many other Spirited drivers/cars and I am able to keep up with, or "pass" more expensive/ higher performing cars. you have to realize the FK7 is a tuner's car, much like the Si.

[@TeodorD]

[@jvstinky]

- biggest thing for me: the trunk should be able to release open using the key fob! - the infotainment system is very easily scratch prone - no arm rest/cup holders in the back seat - the cargo light can’t be turned off so let’s say you want to have a little picnic in the trunk or something like that

By nature most Civics are all made cheaply to save on costs. To save on weight the body panels are thin. That is why they flex and dent easily. The paint and clear coat is sprayed on minimum. That is why the paint on Civics fade faster than the compare to other car manufacturers. They are made to save on gas. You pay for what you get.

i own a 2020 sport hatch, and believe me the sound quality issue has very little to do with the stock speakers. in fact, i just replaced mine with $350 infinity component speakers and i could barely hear the difference. (mid and bass wise) the infinity tweeters are much crisper though. so what i think is that the stock 180W HU is just not powerful enough to drive those speakers. and about the rattling noise in the doors, i purchased sound deadening mats from amazon and insulated all 4 plastic door panels and the sheet metal of the doors, you will be amazed how good those mats are. they basically eliminated all the rattling noises. (make sure to insulate the plastic clips in the door panels as well) i took the time to insulate the door sheet metal. now when i shut my doors, they dont sound filmsy, hollow anymore...they sound solid like they are from a more expensive car.

[@MrNgMichael]

Complaints 1-4 sounds like you should've bought an Si or Type R, but for what it's worth, the CVT hatch is a good daily/road trip car. Power wouldn't be my complaint, but a lack of an LSD really sucks on canyon roads when you can feel understeer.

[@imbrandon16]

To be fair... there's no avoiding the cheap plastic these days... my 6 gen 2SS Camaro was almost $50k new... everything's fucking plastic lol.

The orange sidemarker is there because the NHTSA requires something like it to be present in that approximate location on ALL cars, not just the 10th gen civic. Replacing it/covering it is actually illegal and cops will be a pita and pull you over for that. When I got my civic used the previous owner wrapped it black which I took off because I honestly don’t think it looks that bad and I don’t want to get pulled over

I understand about the lacking performance but if that was an issue you should’ve just gotten the manual. Their tuned from the factory with more torque and its overall more engaging. And if your looking for performance the cold air would’ve netted you more gains . Also these engines aren’t meant to idle for 10-15 minutes. You honestly just need to let it warm up for a minute or two and let it warm up gradually by driving.

[@briankozaki7595]

That is exactly what I was thinking. I was looking for this comment! LOL! I buy cars for a living and yeah, the front and rear ends on every other car built in the last couple decades or so is all plastic. Even high end cars like BMW and Mercedes, there are plenty of plastic on those also. I have this 2021 Fk7 and I agree with most of what he said. You are correct about the sound , but the speakers really are crap. And that warm up thing I believe is for people in colder weather. There is a oil dilution issue that affects those in the north. I think he lives in PA. My other issue is the connection on the Car Play.

[@vicp8772]

Plastic equals less weight. Re the side markers, talk to the transit commissioner, they want orange. Engines warm up faster when u drive, all cars. U should have found a stick, and a sp touring. That's why I waited and saved before making my purchase. For me I don't trust the stock tires, they aren't sticky enough, the 540 watts in my sp touring is enough, yes there are rattles mind u. Same with the sunroof. From 6th to 4th, does surprise ppl. Pros and cons to everything.

[@chris_timefk8]

My previous car warmed the car up minutes after I start the engine without driving. My other car (a vw golf) also does the same. But with this Honda I'd have to drive it at least 5 to 10 minutes for the inside to warm up. 🤷‍♂️ Maybe my car has a defect but that's how it's been since I bought it brand new.

With the CVT you lose almost 20ft/lb of torque and some few HP. And its far from a "sporty" gearing too. I have a 2017 with manual and its plenty of power for an entry level car with only a small 1.5L engine. Gotta remember they had to keep some room for the Si that is closer to 200hp. I've had a Fiesta ST also, and sure its a bit more power, but its a 1.6L and the transmission is a lot more agressive. And well, plastic is part of all cars these days. Lighter, easier to make, and safer during crashes. Its a civic afterall, they're supposed to be cheap.!

For simple things like throwing away trash, getting my cellphone that I forgot from inside the house...

Most of the body panels and bumpers are actually made of fiber glass or “plastic” for lower costs, weight savings, and most importantly for safety. Old cars used to be made of metal but car manufacturers soon realized that it was dangerous if you were to get into a serious accident. Also wanted to comment on performance. It’s a civic hatchback sports trim level. Doesn’t mean it’s a sports car lol if you want power, go with a Type R, STI, Evo, Golf R, etc. Yes, it’s obviously going to be more expensive but performance is going to come with a price.

[@FlashGalatine]

Nice review! Just a note about plastics: the plastic parts are mostly made of ABS, Polycarbonate, or Polypropylene, plastics that resists heat well while being lightweight. If those parts were metal, then the car will be heavy, therefore making the car slow. Unless you live in a ridiculously hot environment (like a desert), the likelihood of the plastic cracking is extremely low. For me, the one thing I hated about my 2021 Civic Hatch Sport was the halogen lights. I got so use to the bright HID lights on my old car that I struggled to drive at night with the Civic. I usually drive in poorly lit roads at night, so having bright LEDs is a must for me. I have LEDs now on my Civic, but I might change out the tail lights with aftermarket ones. Maybe Mugen-style or something. Can't wait to see how your build turns out during your ownership.

must be your first car ever if your supprised car have plastic trim on them. you want an all metral car go buy a 70's or later car then youll have a meaty heavy solid iron bumper.but seriously if those 5 things are a downer for you a civic might not be your kind of car

The 2022 sport only come with a 2.0 and it cost about $1,500 more. Sad part is that Japan still offer a 1.5t 6mt with touring wheel on their LX model

I subscribed bc i want to know whats mods u gonna install on ur fk7. I own an 20' si coupe i know theres a lot of plastic but its looks good! #savethe manual

[@chris_timefk8]

Thanks for supporting the channel. The hatchbacks looks amazing! But Having a cvt limits performance mods but I'm excited to push the cvt to its fullest potential.

Good vid bro

[@Happyfeet3]

did u do your Type R spoiler yourself or did u take it somewhere to be put on?

[@kfauzi109]

you’re bass is only going to be as loud relative to your treble and mids.

[@SitriUvali]

lul no. my PT cruiser had way better stock bass than the new Civic does and I boosted it without kicking up treble and mid. Every time I play a song that's bassy in my friend's Civic, I expect to be bumping with the music but then get sad when I can't feel the beat. My Elantra has a better sound system at base trim, so I think his point is valid.

[@Average_CoD_Clips]

The orange side marker light stands out on every color except white imo. Why did they make it orange? Hazard lights should be Red because all Honda kids love the color red.

name a modern car that doesn't have plastic bumpers? if they were metal you'd be bitching about how much it weighs

You should have purchased a TYPE R :p :p :p

[@NorthernLaw_]

That's what I keep saying looking at this guys videos, I just dislike them because the Type-R wings are shit on any other model

[@michaelvillalobos5191]

ain’t no way you dislike just cause of that 😂😂😂 I think the wing looks good on a hatchback. It gives it a nice touch. I’d say not putting the wing on a stock hatchback but one that has modifications to go with it

[@NorthernLaw_]

@@michaelvillalobos5191 What do you mean no way I dislike it, the look of the vehicle is fine, looks good, but I don't see any point, just buy a Type-R, in my book I don't see any reason not too, it's like people who put the Raptor grille on their F150, it's weird

Worst thing about this car: The styling and dashboard instrumentation’s. Outdated as hell, lots of fake vents, stupid outdated sharp angles and video game instruments. I’m pissed that I had to buy the 2021 model when the 2022 is right around the corner.

[@chris_timefk8]

11th gen is supposedly going to look less aggressive. I'd have to see in person to actually judge. It's kinda like what they did to the new BMW where they made a massive grill. At first it was fugly. But over time I kinda started liking it. Lol

[@alxbrooks]

I ended up parting with my 2021 Civic EX hatch after a year. I bought it as a road trip/cargo car last year, which it excels at, but my 2014 Wrangler is paid off, so I wanted to enjoy not having payments for a few months (and I recouped just about every dollar in the sale). The other reason is that (as a 6'1" dude) it was a little uncomfortable to get in and out of. Well, not a little, it was actually pretty annoying lol. I also didn't like the turbo lag or whatever would cause the acceleration to lag briefly in Normal mode. Sport mode mostly resolved that, but compared to my jeep it just lacked that punchy acceleration that I prefer. I don't know enough about cars to know why the jeep seems to have better low end torque, but I think it's part the engine design and also the fact that it's useful when off-roading. Otherwise, my only real complaint was the infotainment, which was definitely not the best or intuitive. I did have one issue where the AC stopped working, but they found no leaks and it seemed to have been resolved after refilling the refrigerant. Also, there was a minor rattle on the dashboard that I never figured out (wasn't bad enough to research, but I'm sure that might have gotten annoying after a while as well). Otherwise, it was a good car with some good handling and really good fuel economy/cargo space.
