When you're well into your 20's with a career, mortgage, married with a kid on the way, the new civic is appropriately upscale and classier.

The 10th gen has more personality and reflects the old JDM lifestyle. If "mature" people want to make a statement there's the Accord, even better, a CRV for the family! Why buy a compact car to fit in all those diaper bags??? xD
@patrickchubey31273 жыл бұрын
@@jexjux Because it's a lot more affordable. The financial difference between a Civic and an Accord may not mean much to some folks but it means a lot to us. Besides, if we can't fit 2 kids in the back of a Civic, ( 2 is the limit ) that seats 2 adults, then there's something wrong with us. A CRV is out of the question. I absolutely refuse to buy an SUV, firstly for the same reason I won't buy a more expensive vehicle, because we need the money more than Honda does. Besides, SUV's by nature are more expensive to buy, more expensive to maintain, more expensive to fuel and more expensive to repair than a regular road car, it's a trend that needs to go away. For our needs and purposes, a decent, affordable and reliable road car is a perfect fit, and I love the more " mature " styling. I didn't even like the extreme angry insect over-styled look when I was a teenager and had every right to embrace it. Maybe maturity starts earlier in others or maybe it's just a style preference, who knows, but the quality built, upscale styled, affordable sedan that makes us look like we can afford more car than we actually can gets our vote.

I was looking forward to purchasing this Civic, but am not so sure now, considering how its features stack up against its rivals'. At the end of the day, I'll have to finance whatever I end up with. If that happens to be this Civic, the last thing I need is to resent it for not giving me the value that others could have.

I am changing from a 2013 accord ex-l to this 2022 civic touring. here in seattle it's just freaking impossible to find any new hondas that aren't the sport trim. I had a civic hybrid way back in 2009 so this feels like an upgrade. or it will feel like an upgrade when it shows up in a few months. My only suggestion for your vids would be showing the trunk space and the 60/40 split so people have real world knowledge of putting camping coolers or whatever in there. anyhow thanks again for this really great video!!

That's because Honda is expecting the Sport trim to be the best seller for the Civic. I saw another video that said that they expect 30% of sales for the Civic to be in the LX trim, while 40% will be for the Sport. That would leave the remaining 30% to be split between the EX and Touring trims.

Can you be sure to check for the issue you mentioned about the startup of the infotainment once you get to test the hatch? I figure that will be more updated and I'll watch to see if it changes.
