What do you think of my Doug Demuro impression? :O And the car.....

[@digby_dooright]

😛😂

[@garrettdurr7155]

I just bought one of these in the hatchback body I'm loving it. It came with continental tires instead of Goodyear so I haven't noticed any annoying road noise yet. Maybe I just haven't driven long enough to notice it yet.

[@ComputerStuff]

@@garrettdurr7155 Congrats on the new car! Glad yours isn't too noisy!

[@johnfranklin5277]

Can't imagine why anyone would want to emulate, or BE Doug Demuro, lol, but your impression was pretty spot on. Now ,never do it again! Lol.

[@ComputerStuff]

@@johnfranklin5277 I figured I could trick some of his subs to coming over to my channel :P

After coming from a 2013 Accord EXL, I've owned my 2022 Civic Touring for about 3 months now and I really love it. Some things to note that I didn't see in the video. The trunk has a pull handle on the ceiling of the lid on the right side that lets you close the trunk without touching the paint (i love this). Most traditional windshield wipers spray the fluid upwards toward the windshield-the new Civic, however, carries the fluid through tubes all the way to the wipers and "dribbles" the wiper fluid directly onto the glass. I like this because in other cars i've owned, the blue, orange, or green windshield wiper fluid mist would be sprayed all over my cars' paint and dry there. Also, you may have to manually enable the Bose audio experience in the settings when you first start your car.

[@ComputerStuff]

Great comment and additions!

[@omarvasquez2721]

Hello! How exactly do you enable the Bose sound system I have a touring as well but I sort of just left the sound system the way it is 😅

[@tylox7521]

@@omarvasquez2721 hey Omar, I first pressed the Home button to get out of CarPlay mode. When you’re on the Home Screen, go to the next page of options until you see “General Settings.” Tap that, then tap “Sound.” You should see an option for “Bose Centerpoint.” You just need to turn that on. I hope this helps 👍

[@dennisjones8906]

I’d love to hear more about your impressions of the different driving experience between the ‘13 Accord EXL (I had a blue one I loved for 10 years) verses the top trim new Civic. Thanks!

[@tylox7521]

@@dennisjones8906 Hey Dennis, I replied yesterday but I included a link to a Honda forum, so KZbin must have deleted or hidden my reply. It's been almost a year since I was last able to drive the '13 Accord, so I don't really remember how that felt vs the new Civic. But immediately after getting my Civic I remember thinking it felt so much more agile compared to the Accord. The Civic is only about 10" shorter, but it feels so much more maneuverable. I always have to take a sharp right turn on my way to work, and the Accord would sway a bit through it. The Civic can take the turn at a faster speed with what feels like less body roll, especially if you're in sport mode. Lots of people have complained about the "cracking" sound from the plastic infotainment system expanding and contracting in hot/cold temps-this sound has gone away for me. I guess the plastic has relaxed enough. However, at about 4200-4300 miles I noticed an issue with the steering that wasn't there when I got the car. At faster speeds like on the interstate, the steering gets a little sticky. Idk if this is the best description. It feels like lane keep assist is on even when it isn't. To read more about this issue, find the "civic11forum" (I can't add a link or it'll get removed) and then search "sticky steering." There's a post that has abut 275 replies. The sticky steering issue is the only thing I don't like about the car, and I'm hoping for a recall on whatever is causing the issue. Aside from that I love it!

Good review. Nice car. Will probably be reliable and get terrific mpg. The resale will be outstanding. I've had a '17 Fit EX manual for nearly 6 years. Zero problems, better mileage than EPA numbers. Of course it's 2022, but I've seen similar to mine listed for sale for more than I ordered it new in late 2016.

[@ComputerStuff]

The resell value on old cars right now is ridiculous. This will be no exception I'm sure. Thanks for watching!

[@Inobscurity-n7j]

Outstanding review. 👏. You covered everything I wanted to know. I had also heard that changing tires would help with road noise. As far as impressions go, let's just say I really enjoyed watching the car review. Your are very good at that . 👍👍

[@ComputerStuff]

Thanks for the nice comment Sam! Enjoy the car if you get one!

[@richscott2483]

Do replace the mediocre Goodyear Eagle Sport All-Season tires, especially if you live in wintery snow climate but you will need winter tires. All-Season on the Civic just does not do well in winter. If you live in nice warm and non snow regions, the OEM Goodyear will do even though they are not very quiet tires. If you paid more than $1500 for Honda Care 8yr/120K miles, on a new Civic you've been had, other Honda dealers should provide you the real cost of Honda Care and add a small fee for their service in submitting warranty paperwork. You'll need steel wheels to mount your winter tires on, this is to avoid unnecessary damage to your new alloy wheels.

[@Inobscurity-n7j]

I just got a 2023 CRV hybrid in that same color, and I love that capless gas tank. My previous Hondas ended up with error codes around there being a loose gas cap. Now that doesn't happen!

[@ComputerStuff]

Yeah capless is fun - but make sure you have that funnel in case of emergency!

[@C1aYalC]

I just put down a deposit for a 2023 Aegean Blue Touring and am super excited to get it in after seeing this. 8 different dealerships before finding one that had any sort of non hatchback Touring coming before 1/1/23 - hopefully when it gets in I’ll love it as much as I do from photos and this video.

@chrisg Loved this review! (Out of curiosity, what camera and mic are you using? Are you using an iPhone to film the whole thing?) I noticed you didn’t address the oil dilution problem in previous years with Honda’s turbo engine. Do you think it’s been well and truly fixed for 2023? I JUST bought a 2023 Honda Civic Touring yesterday and completely failed to research this issue before purchasing. Ooops!

[@ComputerStuff]

Thanks Michelle! For this review we used two iphones and Rode mics. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think you'll like the car a lot, but ultimately these should prove to be pretty reliable cars. Nothing is without its issues, but the warranty should cover you in case of a major problem.

[@michaelmonteith9726]

I almost bought this car, Thank you.

[@johnfranklin5277]

Why didn't you?? Get something else?

[@admin-ts8uv]

Im in love with my civic touring, i still cant get over the interior and keep looking at it everytime in awe, its so cool!, that full digital cluster is so beautiful!, new civic made me choose a Honda over an Audi a3, its such a better car, the only complain i have is the slow startup of the infotainment system, it takes a while to load and its very laggy and glitchy until then, after it works fine, they should have put a better processor on it, i hope a software update will fix it. Hes absolutely right about the road noise, it gets very loud at highway speeds depending on the surface.

[@ComputerStuff]

The infotainment, especially CarPlay, does take a bit longer than desired to start up :( Supposedly the Touring has more sound deadener, and for that matter it has the acoustic noise cancelling, but it just doesn't work great. Loud road noise is a consistent complaint among Honda's current line up. Whereas Mazda seems to be obsessing about getting rid of road noise. I hope Honda addresses this soon!

[@preciousogunje5404]

Hey you might need to get that looked at I got the touring and the infotainment comes up very fast

[@thndercat1]

Good video

[@ComputerStuff]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@grizzybear9111]

That truck hood has another setting to open up the hood even further.

[@Fabian6980]

Nice little car. Im debating wether to go with this or the bmw 330i I save money with the civic but I get luxury performance with the 330i so hard to pick but I'm leaning towards 330i

[@ComputerStuff]

The BMW would probably feel more premium no doubt, and be quieter, but it won't match the Hondas reliability. That said if that's not a priority for you, go with the German tank!

[@dmger14a]

You would think for the 2023, they would have changed the tires to quiet it down some, but not sure if they did. Not a deal breaker for me either though.

[@jozzef40]

Is the road noise really terrible? Or it can be somewhat fixed with quieter tires?

[@ComputerStuff]

It is to my understanding that a set of quieter tires will address SOME of the noise, but I dont think Honda paid very close attention to quieter metals / sound material. In other words, it will help, but not fully solve.

[@reginaalear]

I was looking for a new car and was considering a Toyota Camry or this exact civic. I ended up getting the Civic touring and it’s currently in transit.

[@ComputerStuff]

Congratulations! Enjoy the new car!

[@efx245precor3]

Mud flaps are an option on mine do you recommend

[@ComputerStuff]

No, they're not necessary on a little car like this.

[@ComputerStuff]

Hate to burst your bubble, but it's a tennis ball can in my pocket.

[@trackmastersdj]

Is new 2023 Honda Civic sedan Touring (with 1.5T engine) a good car to buy? How long can it last? What is the whole controversy surrounding the (1.5T) engine all about? Can someone please explain?

[@ComputerStuff]

They are still a fine car to buy. Don't let negative rhetoric scare you. You can have issues with ANY car you purchase. A Honda Civic will likely last you well into 200,000 miles. The 1.5L engine plus CVT comes with controvery but I think in real world experience most people will be fine. That said the car is a little "noisy" with road noise.

[@efx245precor3]

Inner Doug achieved!

[@ComputerStuff]

Hah, thank you!

[@kaifcancerian]

Can you please comment about how turbo engine works on this? i heard turbo is high maintenance, not as reliable as their naturally aspirated counterparts

[@ComputerStuff]

Great question. In a high performance car you have to worry about turbo maintenance, but in a Honda civic it's nothing. These Turbos are so small and so dialed in you have nothing to worry about.

[@mikeh4858]

How is the CVT in this? I wanted the Honda Accord with the 2.0 and 10 speed auto but this civic is growing on me and seems way more economical. I’ve heard horror stories about CVT’s and that is the one thing I am hesitant about. On the other hand I have heard Honda did well with this CVT. Also secondary question, how is the pickup in this car? I wanted the accord mainly because it was quick and my current car is slow. I don’t need a race car by any means as this will be my day to day car to get to and from work, I do a lot of highway driving and I want to be able to merge and accelerate when needed.

[@ComputerStuff]

Pickup is outstanding and I had zero complaints about the CVT. Smooth. Complaints about pickup or CVT would be those looking for a Civic SI - which it needs to be understood, this is not! This is a semi-luxury eco car that is smooth to drive and efficient on gas. No hesitation, get one!

[@colt2206]

Well I had the CRV and the CVT is pretty hard to get past. At least the CRV was AWD but with the front wheel drive and the CVT both it’s pretty hard to really like this car. I got the Subaru Forester and it’s also goos CVT but it’s way better version of a CVT than Honda has. Ideally I wish they would do away with CVTs. They suck. No getting around that

[@alskarmode]

8:05 so whenever we fill it with petrol we have to use that little funnel? That seems really inconvenient because does that mean we're just supposed to put a used funnel with petrol back into our car? That sounds messy

[@ComputerStuff]

No, no! Only when you need to fill up with a jerry can or emergencies. Regular gas pump handle works without any accessory.

[@jagansm6009]

Does this generation offer Bose speakers?

[@ComputerStuff]

Otherwise thanks for the review I do look forward to finding this car to test drive.

[@ComputerStuff]

Yeah between Toyota and Honda, their websites are horrible about representing the color properly. Best of luck on your search to find one to test drive!

Excessive road and engine noise at high speeds is a deal breaker for me. The Elantra and Jetta are significantly quieter and even the corolla is quieter at highway speeds.
