I don’t understand everyone complaining about the lack of features. If you want a car that’s long lasting, you want tried and true tech with less moving parts. Don’t need a sunroof, don’t need an iPad in the dash and don’t need touchscreen everything. This car looks awesome and I’d love one! Good review bros.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

They need to add a sunroof and sound package to the Sport. And for the love of God, make the dual climate standard!

[@hungson215]

It's funny to see people complain about how expensive the car is, but keep asking for more features

@hungson215 It's called a package! Meaning that someone like me doesn't mind paying for an upcharge. And please, don't speak for me or my finances. Thanks! -Mgmt.

[@bigcrowfly]

Instead of installing an already outdated radio, should have left a standard sized hole in the dash so owner can find their own radio, and future owners can switch it out to latest tech when buy it as a used car. That is how Japanese cars used to be made and allowed the transition from 8-track to cassette to CD.

It's 2025, screens need to be larger, and be more integrated in the overall aesthetic of the design. A notched out dash with a teeny tiny screen, but it's a Civic, yea yea yea....great video guys.

[@apachette07]

Same!! I just wish it came with heated seats!!

[@KNRS927]

Civic is an awesome car, and this is no exception. Just wish their msrp was closer to that of a Corolla and they could offer the hybrid on the LX and on hatchback too. That way, the price wouldn’t overlap with Camry hybrid price since the civic hybrid price makes the Camry hybrid look like the best bang for your buck.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

@KNRS927 You get more features on a Civic hybrid than a base Camry LE for the same price. It's all based on age demographics and needs of the driver.

[@johnkonde1975]

Toyota is definitely increasing the MSRP for the 2025 Toyota Corolla sedan (which will be sold starting next month) and you'll find there's not much of a difference in price between 2025 Corolla and 2025 Civic

[@KNRS927]

@@jraheemjefcoat429 depends which trim and features you desire as Camry LE offers some not on civic, and vice versa. Here’s the breakdown of what each offer that other doesn’t. Civic sport hybrid costs $350 more than Camry LE to start, actually. At that price, while sport hybrid gives you the moonroof and heated seats, Camry LE counters with wireless Apple CarPlay and rear air vents. Then spring for convenience package which puts you about 600-700 above civic, you get power seats with lumbar support and auto dimming review mirror. Personal preference on what you want, but I’d much rather have the rear air vents, power driver seats with lumbar, wireless CarPlay, and auto dimming mirror over heated seats. Camry LE with or without convenience package is arguably better than civic sport hybrid, feature content wise for what I’d desire. Then touring civic is about $1,000 more than Camry SE, so Camry SE vs civic touring is also another story. Love the civic, just wish it was priced closer to its chief rival, the Toyota Corolla, and not closer to the Camry, which is what the accord is supposed to compete against. It’d sell way better if priced closer to the Corolla, imo.

[@jraheemjefcoat429]

@sachinnair91 The middle class is now being pushed to buy compact cars and Crossovers. My aunt paid about $28k for her well equipped 2021 Toyota Camry SE. Now, the 2025 Camry SE will cost her nearly $35k! And she really didn't care for the hybrid configuration at all on the 2025.

[@KNRS927]

@@johnkonde1975 I mean 2025 Camry just came out, and I was talking about that. Idk what Corolla price will be but right now, it’s a 3k jump from Corolla to civic.

[@MugatuJag]

They are very nice cars, but two of my friends have had sport touring both 2023 and had significant problems. The rims are very susceptible to bending, front suspension problems, including sticky steering that the dealer refuses to fix even though it’s under recall. The trim around the windows literally starts fading after five months, granted we are in southern California. I would consider the sport hybrid or sport touring hybrid, but I would definitely put gloss black trim around the windows and get an extended warranty.

[@palebeachbum]

People are finding out Honda isn't making cars like they did in the '90s. The same applies to Toyota.

The Sport is still a good buy, but honestly for the sedan I would say save the money and buy the LX or go all the way to the Sport Hybrid. It’s a minor price increase for more equipment, more power, and 50mpg. For the hatch definitely get the Sport Hybrid.

[@johnkonde1975]

I'm also happy that Honda has made blind spot monitoring standard in the 2025 Civic. Toyota's being cheap and only makes blind spot monitoring standard on the most expensive Corolla XSE trim. So this is a W for the Civic and a L for the Corolla!

Also the new '25 Nissan Kicks curb weight is listed as 2,987lbs. 35mpg highway is still not bad, and the new Kicks grew in size quite a bit and has class leading 8.4" ground clearance so no problems with mild flooding, snow, or steep ramps you'll never scrape.

[@shawnfahey7243]

@@BoopSnootI agree with you 100% who cares if Sedans have a lower center of gravity and weigh less and are more fuel efficient. They have less trunk space and are boring and bad for floods, they are also old news. Sedans are also mostly driven by men that drive aggressively in them. Crossovers, SUVs, and Hatchbacks are the way to go today as most people would agree. Only reason why the Civic Sedan is fuel efficient is because it has idle stop/start as it has the same engine as the Hrv and it only weighs 200 pounds less than the Hrv.

[@BoopSnoot]
