2020 Honda Civic Hatchback: FULL REVIEW | The REFRESHED Civic is Better Than Ever!

[@Jordan_4is]

My friend just got this car in the dark blue color, I’m slowly falling in love with the civic line up!! They are great.

[@robertclarkguitar]

coming! Son bought the blue LX he just wanted the turbo to flash it. Hahah. Really cool this is in the base model.

[@rtistik]

I just recently traded in my 2012 Civic EX Coupe for a 2020 Civic EX-L Hatchback and I absolutely love it. The 2012 Civic needed a lot of work and it was cost too much money to keep fixing this and that and it was nothing but a headache. I am very happy with my purchase and have no regrets.

[@MrAsurastriker]

I like how you show differences that is spot on, in my opinion. Im not a fan of talking and talking with no info on screen. Good job guys

[@vickenphilippossian9564]

picked up a manual one of these, and its a 2019 - sp touring - clocked over 7000kms in 3 months - that should tell u a little something about how I'm enjoying the car - yes i will hold 3 ppl and a mountain bike, with front wheel off, inside

[@King_Kenny66]

Love my 2.0 litre Civic. I hope Honda resolves the 1.5 litre oil dilution issues. Great video guys! :D

[@t.k.morris]

Are there any problems with the 2.0L like the 1.5L? What kind of real world mpg do you get?

[@King_Kenny66]

@@t.k.morris No issues with the 2.0. The 1.5 has gas getting into the oil which if enough, can cause the oil to lose its lubrication. Honda says its from the engine not heating up fast enough, especially in colder climates on short trips,so gas that normally evaporates get into the oil. This is partly due to the direct injection. I am in Canada but I converted to US mpg: 36 city and 48 hwy.

[@brianhawkins7756]

That problem has been resolved. I have a 2018 Si. No need to worry people.

[@ichigoo5630]

2019 si in Quebec still have OD problems in winter

[@t.k.morris]

Just order mine in sonic grey will be getting it Thursday! I'm excited

[@grimacemcccheese]

Love this car for versatility. I have a sport and was able to fit 3x 24" suitcases and 1x carry on in the trunk with seats up and cargo shade removed. If you have narrower 24" cases you may be able to fit 4 across.

[@karlbryant3304]

That is why I still like Corolla XSE comes with standard LED in front and back including backing up lights. Also not all people like turbo just like me. Naturally aspirated 6 speed is still better

[@ku5587]

Funny thing is that the manual transmission was offered on the Sport touring in 2019 in Canada

[@MrRowdy14u]

Honda should start having a more diverse color interior..

[@dopey-tbh3156]

like what

[@Montesmike15]

Love my 2018 hatch sport, kinda wanna trade it in for the 2020 sport hatch though since the upgrades are nice

[@PicoLatrinidad]

Got my sport hatch in pearl white last Jan. 3 weeks later, a dodge truck rear ended me. Cost him $9K plus to repair which won't be done until end of this month.

[@antistalinist4552]

Cool video. The 2020 Civic Hatchback is really nice.

[@shushuyu]

is the space good enough to take a nap or for camping in on a whim? i'm using an old mazda 3 but i'm looking to buy a hatchback and the civic offers the most space compared to other cars around it's tier. i don't want a prius because of aesthetic reasons and suvs aren't my jam. just want something where i can take a quick nap. i'm 5'7 btw. think the space is good?

[@reviewithme9913]

Actually the sport (regular not touring) you get some synthetic leather on the seats. Basically the sides of the seats have the leather the rest is cloth.

[@jamesgand828]

They need to update the interior and the tech. Things they need to add to the new refresh: 1. Blind spot monitoring (No, that stupid camera is a gimmick) 2. Lumbar support 3. updated infotainment (Wireless Android Auto/ACarplay and make it bigger and less laggy) 4. offer more interior options so it doesn't look so gloomy 5. AWD option (most competitors are offering it and it only makes sense) 6. Ventilated seats 7. rear vents These are all the options that most of the competition already offers so I am not asking for more than what they should be capable of. I hate the fact that Civic is so popular that they stopped caring about innovation. It's like, why should we provide these things when they are selling already.

[@mirumiru3951]

I love your reviews! Thanks!

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear it! Thanks! 😁

[@BernonCars]

Gahhh you guys beat me to it!! LOL I’m seeing one tomorrow!

[@giovannibenitez7777]

Bern on Cars do a sedan , I’ve seen a few hatchback reviews but no sedan

[@CarConfections]

Hahaha oops! But anyways have fun driving it!

[@CarConfections]

The sedans won't be coming out until later this year, that's why you're only seeing hatch reviews right now

[@giovannibenitez7777]

Oh okay that’s makes sense. My bad 😂

[@jimliu2560]

What about the oil dilution problem? Has that been fixed for the 2020 model?

[@mrtachanka607]

jim liu I have the same exact question but looking that it has the same engine configuration like last years I bet it’ll have oil dilution problems!

[@jamesgand828]

@@mrtachanka607 I heard that they oil dilution problem existed up to the 2018 models. They have fixed that issue on the newer models and are working to fix the older models.

[@colesthelol]

@@jamesgand828 Can you provide any info on that? I'm looking at getting this one in a couple of months and that issue is kinda bugging me. It's such a great package to be let down by something you wouldn't imagine: the engine.

[@jamesgand828]

@@colesthelol So this is what I have figured out based on research and I will use a video for reference. The oil dilution happens in colder climates and when the car is prevented from heating up before driving it. I can't recall exactly when in the video he mentions that but it's in this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3mpdmWcacqGf9U

[@jamesgand828]

@@colesthelol I would still advise against buying their 1.5l turbos because of costly maintenance in the future. 1.5l pumping up that much horse power can only lead to bad things. Just get a naturally aspirated engine if you are planning on keeping the car for a long time.

[@juancedano8231]

What’s a better buy the civic sport or EX ? Hatchback or sedan ?

[@jamesgand828]

Depends on what you are looking for. Better buy would be the sport trim since you get the horsepower boost and most of the immensities that carries over to the EX. I think the best decision you can make is to go test drive them. You can look at reviews and specs all you want but if the car doesn't feel the way you want it, peoples words won't mean much lol

[@retroguy1976]

easily the sport hatch i picked up a 2017 a few weeks ago love it

[@andybub45]

Great video, but this refresh for the Civic Hatch is terrible. They still refuse to give us the updated Honda Link system and have not gotten rid of the outdated Lane Watch system. Plus it still has the oil diluting 1.5 turbo. Not acceptable Honda! I would buy the Corolla hatch instead.

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Maybe so but they really aren't that bad.

[@andybub45]

@@stephenpowstinger733 if you look at GM and Toyotas new system and then look at this, you will see how outdated it is. Not to mention, some models use the oil diluting 1.5 turbo engine. The Corolla hatch is the better car.

[@joeychitwood6004]

Nice car and if I were gonna get one it would be the hatchback.

[@conceptcs]

I really wished the civic hatch could be a true hatchback as in the tail gate is more vertical than sloped. And then the couple can have this lift back design.

[@jello3671]

I know this is 3 years late, but you'd really hate the 11th gen civic hatchbacks if you haven't seen them yet.. I'm with you, though. I like the look of a hatchback.

[@chrisroche6cr]

i just bought a used 2020 hatchback. the front seat is so painful on my back. I have associated my new car with pain

[@darriontunstall3708]

The 2020 Honda civic hatchback, it’s ok but it’s sets low I’m only 5’3 I need something that sets higher lol! I wish I was 6’4! Y’all should review the 2019 Chevy bolt, it’s Chevy all electric car, it’s awesome!!

[@stephenpowstinger733]

So get a compact SUV like the Honda HR-V.

[@JulezWinnfield]

I'm still trying to figure how Toyota fanboys think their Corolla hatchback beats this Civic in every head to head metric? 🤔🤔

[@andybub45]

At least its somewhat updated

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, great review as always!😸😸😸

Thanks as always man! 🙂

Great Review that car is nice very nice first car

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Esp considering many must settle for a sub-compact or a used car.

I’m going to get this car next year, have any advice???

[@captvader3006]

Save up a lil more and get yourself an Si, more bang for your buck!

[@devongee1776]

I'm a little upset that the Civic still looks like this. When did they change to this styling, 2015? What's the hold up lol

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Those are prices just for the hatch so add in the sedan and coupe and you have a lot to compare. Don't forget the hot Si and the super-hot Type R.

[@CarConfections]

We will be reviewing all those models separately in the coming months

[@leywhite2268]

affordable and reliable... what more could you ask for?

*QUESTION:* the Sport Touring is the only Civic hatch with LED headlamps. could those same LED headlamps be installed in an EX hatch?

Since the housing is the same size, I wouldn't think that would be a problem

@@stephenpowstinger733 but very cramped the space comparison is not even close.. Mazda 3 is a compact hatchback while Honda Civic hatchback is a true hatchback..

I just got the 2020 sport hatchback, if you use the CVT/s mode paddle shifters yes, you can feel it or hear it shift. They want you to feel like your driving a manual. Put it on Drive Mode and press econ to save gas, and you'll hit 80 mph without even feeling nor hearing the shift change..

[@worldofz00]

Consumer Reports lost my trust after my MacBook's keyboard failed and they didn't make a mention of it, and still do not. All MacBook's keyboards with a butterfly mechanism are susceptible to damage and are only covered 4 years from purchase date. After 4 years, I'm on my own. -1 for Consumer Reports.

Corolla and camry are best then civic and accord in every thing

[@MultiWindBlows]

The Civic definitely beats the Corolla. The Camry likely beats the Accord though.

It comes down to preferences: style, features for the money, the way they drive. Camry has been making styling gains.

[@miguelircontar]

I’m Sorry but the Honda hatchback is so ugly I much prefer the Corolla hatchback

[@stephenpowstinger733]

Corolla is no beauty queen.

[@younged510]

No No I prefer the styling of a Mazda 3 but it's a very small hatch, it's like a large size sedan, shaped in a hatch and still very cramped sitting in the back seat so no no, especially if you have a child with a car seat. I was going back and fourth with Mazda 3 or Honda civic Hatch, I went with the Civic, more space, even when you have a full car you are still able to put lots of crap in the hatch then a mazda 3 hatch can do. It doesn't look bad. Got the sonic gray sport trim, fun to drive and if you are worried about oil dilution, lease it like I did if you have the money to lease. Well just have to wait until 3 years to see if this model year has the oil dilution problem, but so far not regretting getting the 2020 Honda Civic Sport Hatch over the Mazda 3 hatch.

[@mp9508]

It’s a shame these once fine cars get uglier with each iteration.
