2018 Honda Civic Sedan: FULL REVIEW | Touring, EX-L, EX-T, EX & LX

[@tranquilsounds5985]

I was honestly looking for a review with all the different specs and features each model had to offer and this was the best video I had come across so far. I appreciate you taking time for me to take in the features of the car but most importantly I appreciate you making the comparisons so easy to follow and understand.

[@CarConfections]

Glad you enjoyed the review! Thanks

[@masjut1]

I bought one 8 months ago. Love this car. It’s a little rocket ship. Quite and smooth. The only thing negative I could mention is that the seats are to hard with not enough cushion. Best car I’ve ever owned. I’m in my mid fifties. And have owned many cars. This thing is just amazing.

[@xobeenbrown4947]

Which model did you buy? Was it the touring?

[@kylepraseutsack6422]

If you want a car with super comfortable seating get a Nissan Altima sl or a maxima sl..they have zero gravity seats with are the most comfortable seat there is out there.

[@mattrhoden2401]

I completely agree with you. You cant find a better car for the price point, MPG, fun drive, great take off. I have a 2018 EX-T. Mine was involved in an accident and luckily it was able to be fixed I was driving a rental, 2021 GMC Terrrian, super nice vehicle and hands down would rather have muly Civic. The thing is pretty fast for what it is. I just got mine back today from the body shop and I swear i like it even more.

[@riopugh8220]

Yes I agree about the seats. I've put a foam pad on to make a bit more comfortable

[@ammarisrar2005]

How much did you buy it for if you don’t mind me asking?

[@vmarsg]

You have the best reviews - so thank you! I love that you mention all trims. I can't decide between the 2018 Honda Civic Touring and 2018 Mazda Touring. Your videos have been the most helpful (:

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear that! Good luck picking -- you really can't go wrong between the two!!

[@petek9541]

My wife and I just bought a 2018 Civic ESL With 10,000 miles on it to replace her 2009 Civic Hybrid, she loved that car.BTW. Anyway , probably paid a little more than we should have but's like new.Very happy with the car, great performance and comfort. On the down side, like the video said, the audio and comfort controls being on the display kinda suck.Other than that I recommend anyone looking for a reasonably priced 'sports' sedan, buy this.

[@devskiiis13]

You didn’t mention my favorite feature: keyless entry by just putting your hand into the door handle and it unlocking. Then when you walk away from it it automatically locks!

Honda Civic has a very comfortable and roomy backseats,it’s handling and ride quality is much better than Corolla because it is low and has a grippy smooth ride but Honda should improve the interior quality a bit more,and in coming years should add a Panaromic sunroof

[@Alyssaluv22]

[@shadyassassin636]

what if sites don't have touring as a model? trying to buy some parts but touring is not listed. are we considered EX L?

[@Jo-bt3xr]

I don’t why, or which model I have? It’s called EX-CVT 2.0 no turbo when I got it used. There’s no fog light, there’s an empty hole there but no lights, and the front corner fender is different, one side is with fake vent holes, but one side (drivers side) is with a blank shield of plastic🤔😥

Between minutes 4 and five you’re showing the headlights (I assume in the emergency flasher mode). Are those “sequential”-style flowing lights along the bottom of the headlight only on the touring?

They should make a Civic hatchback with the same 2.0T + 10-speed automatic found in the new Accord. That would be interesting.

[@garciacelso12]

ArcadianGenesis isn't that just the Type-R

[@ArcadianGenesis]

Cel Garcia The Type-R only comes with a manual transmission. This new 10-speed automatic is awesome.

[@garciacelso12]

ArcadianGenesis oh that's right! I forgot

[@petek9541]

@@garciacelso12 At the Honda dealer when we bought our 2018 Civic EXL they just rolled in a new 2020 Civic Type R. It was like a ready for road race car. It had a Kevlar areo kit, IE: rear bumper skirts, side skirts, front splitter and a big rear wing. Recaro racing front bucket seats with 5 point seat belts. 304 HP with a 6 speed manual transmission. Our 2018 Civic has 184 HP and it gets 0- to 60 in a flash. I cant imagine what that 304 HP would do. ha But at $37, 550 or so sticker price, I'll have to put that on my wish list. But agree that the auto trans with a sport mode would be awesome.

i love my car the only thing that annoys me is the stupid message that shows up when the honda link first starts

[@davidlee3254]

I got the lx I should of just spent the extra money for the touring 😭🙄

[@tooniemama6959]

Honda made some much-needed improvements to the Civic, but I don't care for the black matte plastic on the front grille; it makes the car look cheap, also that plastic will discolor over time, and that will not look good. Overall, it think it's a lot of car for the money, and after looking at the entry-level Acura ILX; the Honda Civic seems like the better choice.

[@kennypowers7602]

I too was considering an ILX. They had a decent lease special (~2500 down, 199/month on a 36-month, 30k mile lease). The dealbreaker for me was the ILX required premium fuel. The Civic Sport hatchback only "recommends" premium.

[@giovannilopez4863]

Great review. Exactly what I was looking for. Any chance you have a 2018 vw Jetta review?

[@CarConfections]

Hi! We have filmed some Chrysler products (Ram 1500, Jeep Compass and Grand Cherokee) but we haven't done one in while since are waiting for the all new Ram, Cherokee and Wrangler's to come in. Hopefully we will have them soon!

[@Jaymac720]

Why does the touring trim have less space in the trunk than all the others? Is there something obvious I’m missing or is it just like that?

[@hypermetalsonic]

Think it's a sub woofer/bass thing

[@03chrisv]

The upgraded sound system. It's totally worth it though.

[@valeria939]

What about the SE?

[@kevinjohnson3738]

V Lounge I don't believe that there is a SE trim for this generation quite yet. Honda tends to offer the SE (Special Edition) trim on the last or later years of the generation. So when we do see a SE trim, we can expect that a redesign is soon to come. Hope that helps!

[@simJ94]

You're wrong. It does come in SE trim. Just look it up on Honda's website

[@kevinjohnson3738]

@@simJ94 Well, I think we may both be correct! :) I guess I'm just speaking for U.S.A. but it is likely different in other countries. Doesn't look like SE is an option for The U.S. quite yet.

Yeah, you're right. It's available in Canada, not in the US

Does the 2018 Honda civic LX have CVT transmission? if so, is there an option to have regular automatic transmission instead? Lots of negative feedback on CVT so i'd rather not go with that.

[@kevinjohnson3738]

cj p the LX does have a CVT. There is no option for a traditional automatic, but I believe there may be an option for manual on the LX trim. Hope that helps!

[@cameronm6116]

Sorry to bother you but is honda or Toyota more reliable? Thank You!

[@CarConfections]

There's really no easy answer since it depends on the model. But both brands are known for their reliability, so you probably have great experiences with both!

[@biggiboiy]

Does the 2018 Honda civic LX have CVT transmission? if so, is there an option to have regular automatic transmission instead? Lots of negative feedback on CVT so i'd rather not go with that.

[@CarConfections]

Yes it does have a CVT. There is no traditional automatic option, but you can choice a 6-speed manual if you prefer.

[@biggiboiy]

wow, fast response. Ive heard lots of negativity when it comes to CVT. Things like transmission having to be replaced near 60k-100k miles. Also loud sound when going higher speeds like being on the highway, so loud it can get quite annoying, louder than the engine or even radio itself. Are these false?

[@CarConfections]

It is true that some manufactures have had trouble with CVT's in the past but nowadays there are millions of new vehicles from nearly ever brand with CVT's. I'm not saying it won't have problems but CVT's generally don't have serious issues like they used to. As far as noise, a CVT does cause the engine to drone when you accelerate hard, but under low strain (like on the highway) its not going to make anymore noise than a regular automatic. Hope this helps!
