Just a quick clarification, the paper I had about the Civic is for the 2.0 NA - this engine is the 1.5t Turbo 180 bhp 177 Torque with CVT.

[@gerardopino5199]

you can hear the turbo when revving the engine at the beginning of the video

Sam just to be clear, I think that that Civic had the 1.5t because it was a sport touring. That's why it destroyed the Elantra. The 2.0 civic would be closer the entire race.

[@SamCarLegion]

In the paper it said 2.0

[@ZeroFidelity]

@@SamCarLegion I noticed the same thing, so I checked the Canadian website to see if my hunch was correct. From what I can tell, it looks like the Sport Touring uses the 1.5T in both the US and Canada. It also looks like the Sport uses the 2.0 NA in both the US and Canada. While the Sport model comes with some extra convenience features up in Canada (lucky), those features do not include a sunroof, "leather" seats and steering wheel. So it's looking like the Civic you ran was likely using a 1.5t, which would explain the rather significant performance gap between it and the other vehicles. The regular 2.0 Sport is crazy slow off the line, but starts to pack a decent punch once you hit 5,000 rpm.

[@SamCarLegion]

@@ZeroFidelity I am just checking the press paper I have it says 2.0. I will confirm soon

[@AnthonyParrilloRI]

@@SamCarLegionSam they have a 2.0 N/A that is actually a k series I believe. This is the confusion.

[@kyron2092]

Definitely a 1.5t civic. It has a moonroof, black headliner and Bose sound system

[@J.W.W.]

Let’s see this 2.0 NA Civic against the 2.0 NA Corolla next 👍

[@MidnightAspec]

Agreed. The 1.5T is next level in the segment.

[@tinleo333]

The corolla will win easy.

[@TrayCaddyyy]

I have never seen anyone drag and roll race the 2.0 Civic vs Corolla. They’re always comparing the 1.5t to the Corolla’s 2.0na. It’s like comparing apples and oranges.

[@bradleyscarreviews]

That Elantra has some decent power…

[@Z_threetimes]

The elantra actually making that a somewhat close race with the honda was more impressive to me than anything else about this video

[@JuanRamirezG]

I think because the Civic was the hatchback and the others were sedans. The Civic sedan would have won even with the 2.0.

Now this is more interesting to watch than high performance cars. As others have mentioned, the civic is definitely 1.5T since it packs so much power compared to other cars. The Corolla in the race should’ve been the 2.0L engine, not the hybrid.

One of the things I wanted to mention but didn't- the underpinnings of even the most basic entry level cars are so good nowadays - esp when you look up the trim lines, GR Corolla, Elantra N and Civic Type R. Its a good time to be alive and enjoying cars. Curious to see how this particular Civic holds up against the Mazda3's of the world. Thanks for the invite and the chance at some grocery getting racing. Real question...did you make it on time for your appointment? 😁

[@SamCarLegion]

Yes!!! Thanks Jim

[@rpgvag]

For some reason I enjoy watching these races more than the performance car races

[@alengreen589]

now we know for what the Corolla is build, thanks Sam 😀

[@bblessedbeats]

The 1.5L engine uses 2 exhaust pipes/tips while the 2.0L N/A engine only has a single exhaust pipe/tip coming from the rear. The 10th gen civics also does the same thing mainly for the typical base models.

[@ghysbois3430]

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

If we do get a civic hybrid with 180 HP and 232 lb ft of torque from the European civic hybrid, it will eat Corolla hybrid for lunch.

[@RaY_77W]

It’s gonna be more power, it’s getting crab hybrid powertrain, 204Hp and 247 ft. lbs of torque.

[@user-vy6gq6um4d]

Throw a 2019 Yaris hatchback in there , they come with a 6 speed sport transmission, not only that but the sedan comes w a manual transmission. I think the manual might be able to beat the civic. Producing “only” 108 HP and Weighing at 2,400 pnds it’s also I think a much more fun experience when it comes to driving. And cvts’ have been called out plenty in this video 😂 great work you guys ! 💯

[@Iangdela]

Is it a mechanical awd or some sort of motor in the rear axle?

[@soulsweeper1630]

I believe it’s just a motor

Lol, that guy doesn't know that the eCVT in the corolla hybrid isn't even close or even work the same as a gas/mechanical cvt.

[@jstreampc5132]

Stock car races are a lot better than the tuned car races even if the stock cars are kind of slow cars cuz most people aren’t tuning their cars. Plus you know exactly what you’re getting if you purchase any of the stock vehicles.

[@maxmaximo3940]

That's right 😂

[@jlthom]

interesting (type) of race. i'm curious...for the vehicle where the gear must manually shifted to left - for "Sport Mode". it wasn't clear, did they ever shift any of the gears in Sport Mode. yes CVTs do shift to set gear points in Sport Mode. the vehicles seems quite slow maybe bc the drivers didn't operate them right. idk

[@ArExsTee]

😂😂😂 everyone knows Toyotas are slow AF… the 2024 Nissan Sentra SR 150hp.. yes its still a CVT but it probably would have put up a better fight than the Carolla

The rear electric motor in the Corolla cuts off around 70kph, that’s why it’s good off the line but not on the roll. So at highway speeds it’s just a fwd and not awd.

The corolla was fast off the line from being a hybrid with an electric motor for instant torque, awd might help a little?

[@Danny-nz9fh]

Sam, I respect your opinion and decision to make this comparison. But just don't do what everyone else has done. I got maybe an honest mistake, bringing the Civic sport touring with the turbo engine. My point is that when comparing cars that are in the same segment, try to compare similar cars, for example, the civic sport, hyundai SEL, and the corolla SE. All these cars are 2.0 litters natural aspirated with cvt transmissions. Later, if you want, bring hybrid samples of these 3 manufacturers you can do it also. That way, you are giving your viewers a way to compare these cars. Thank you, and I hope you can do this comparison again.
