I bought one few weeks ago. Awesome car, driving it is a true pleasure, so smooth.

few things that i found out in my short time of owning this car, lol.... you can still "pull the e-brake" just have to use your finger to pull up the switch and hold it up and it reacts the same.... the revs stay up because it's trying to help you save on fuel economy, my humble 2 cents, lol

it's a lot better than the vista cruiser you drove in that 70's show, foreman

So glad I got my Civic with features like a throttle cable, and a real e-brake. Never gonna, "upgrade," to a newer model. This video makes me feel even better about that.

4:00 rev hang is actually a great thing for both when you upshifting (holds turbo spinning) and downshifting (without double clutching). It is more smooth when you coupling clutch to rev up engine a little bit, not from idle.

Some internet nitwits might not see the sarcasm for the love that I do, mate. You helped me solidify the choice to buy one. Champion!

I LOVE my Civic. It's an amazing car.

The does open the trunk......you have to hold it for 5 seconds

I have had the civic for about a month and in my dealership they didn't have it manual. but with that being said, it still puts a smile on my face every time I drive it. *bonus* not many people have it where I'm from so it just makes me get stopped more and be given compliments, also the females love it

Thanks for the video. I'm thinking of getting one as my next car. FYI instead of a blowoff valve, it has a recalculate valve that puts the excess air back into the intake instead of venting it to the engine compartment. My WRX has one

I loved the video, subscribed. Also the humour is on point 😂

I love a lot about this car. I have the Sport Touring model and the ACC is fanastic. Love the kick from the Turbo, hardly seems like a civic all with it. The keyless entry is nice too, I just leave the key in my pocket, walk up to the door and as soon as I touch the handle it unlocks for me. Same with exiting, just walk away and it locks itself once you're about 3 feet away.

I agree, it was entertaining. His point was well taken. For all the great features a minor issue like the seat memory and the hand brake is nothing to gripe about. All the cars I've had I rarely used the handbrake anyway unless I was parked on uneven ground. Good job!! I learned a few things as a new HC 2017 owner!

I can confirm that shift knobs meant for the 9th gen civic does fit perfectly fine in the 10th gen civic, changed my 9th gen Si for a 10th gen Si and I transfered my shift knob from the old one to the new one, without any modification required, just pulled down the shift boot, unscrewed the OEM one, screwed the new one in place and pulled the shift boot back into its original position.

Just got mine this week (used), in electric green! Thanks for the demo on the display skins! I never would have found that. Mine is an automatic, and my only real gripe is that the engine does not seem to respond quickly when I slam on the gas. Trying to slip into a hole in traffic can be scary when the engine takes forever to finally engage!

I would have gotten that model civic if available here in the states... so I had to settle for the 2017 EX-T but I’m loving it so far.

This was pretty entertaining, thanks

Awesome Civic! I can't wait to get one! By the way, you're very entertaining! I look forward to seeing more of your videos! You just earned a new subscriber! :)

You gotta live with the car to really appreciate it! My wife drives one of those (in Rallye Red) and it's just amazing! The infotainment interface is a bit circumvoluted, but hopefully its software will be updated. BTW, the CD-ROM only contains warranty information. They could have put a .pdf of the full Owner's Manual (around 650 pages) for the car and the Navigation System (another 250+ pages)

I got a black sport 2017 hatchback. I loved it. Planning to tent the window during the spring and put visors on it.

It dosent have a blow off sound because a open to atmosphere bov is just a waste of air when it could be used as recirculation to reduce turbo lag during shifting.

Great Video! You have a great sense of humor!

I love ur energy man😂

It's those little things you don't think about until later. Thinking about one and I found this helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for the videos! Just blew the motor on my 2009 Honda Civic 2009 EX 4 door. All in all got a Civic 2017 4 door SI (First stick shift). Haha they didn't have the Civic sport at the Dealer in Los Angeles.

Good content here, great video!

Great review, can't wait to get mine.

I like your video editing, Honda fan here :)

Do you also have dent above back passenger doors of the car ? Because in Turkey there are so many FC5 owners faced this problem and Honda Turkey does not accept that dent problem is their fault etc. What about Honda Civic Sedans in U.S. ???

I love the white! Gives it an aggressive storm trooper look! I'm actually thinking of getting the hatchback sport.... Assuming I can save for a solid down payment and my current 06 civic doesn't die on me before I can trade it in... Wait a min! I can use the trade in monies as a down payment!

Heh, maybe trivial things, maybe not, but I have to admit this is a very entertaining and funny video! Nice work!

Nice video. How's your MPG on the Civic?

WAIT A MINUTE! Is that a sport hatch with a manual, leather AND moonroof? What kind of witchcraft is this???

Congratulations! You were so authentic!

Just got the blue SI Sedan last week, loving it so far. One thing that I found missing... Vtec, yup thats right. The car does not have a Vtec motor. In my old 07 Si Coupe the Vtec would grab you at 4500 RPM and you could feel the power rip. Dont get me wrong the Turbo is nice and I have spanked several stock K20s in the older models already but what is an Si without Vtec.

Lifetime Honda owner here.... I bought an Accord EXL. Love it... until I want to down shift to second and pop the clutch. I just make the sound effects and pretend. I feel your pain. Super sharp car, btw.

I didn't realize the sport touring was available in manual. it was my understanding the sport was a dressed up LX model with manual 6 speed, and the Sport Touring is a dressed up EXL with CVT and paddle shifters. I say this as a Honda PDI technician. I am the guy that preps all the new cars at a Honda dealership. I can find no way to.purchase the car that you have. If you want manual transmission and a turbo engine you get a lowgrade radio and no navigation as a Sport model hatchback ., or you get a CVT. with all the extras as a Sport Touring.. Manual transmission not available with a bells and whistles package.

I don't get why people cover up their license plate on videos because everyone sees your license plate when you're driving

The rev hang really puts a damper on things.

Great vid man! Hahaha!

Interesting review....I am holding out until the 18 model year. I want the Civic Hatch sport touring edition. However, I want a real blind spot detection system (not lane watch) and cross path detection as well. Hopefully they will add those two features.

Great video!!!valid points!!love the new ride!!

Nice video!

I am so happy you made this video. I was just looking at the new 2018 Honda Accord with the 252hp 4 cylinder engine and a 6 speed manual or the 10 speed automatic if it shifts anything like my BMW M3 7spd DCT :) NOT!! But I will look at both. The reason I need a car soon is because I sold my M3 and I have owned 6 BMW's and I'm done with BMW and paying $50 to $80k. I use to sell Honda's and BMW's but I haven't sold these car since 2007 so a lot has changed for sure. Honda doesn't change very fast and does things only to keep up with Nissan, Toyota and all these makers including Hyundai get ALL of their high end ideas from Mercedes and BMW. One thing that I know Honda has that BMW or Mercedes does not have is when you the driver pushes the turn signal and the camera shows on the screen who's next to you. But all the real advanced things always really do come from the German's. A buddy of mine bought a M5 with Night Vision which many couldn't care less about but there are drivers that can't live without it. I had no idea that many people "hate" driving at night for many reasons and one of them is not seeing but also anxiety. Go figure. Anyway, this video is well done and funny to watch and I see you put some fun to it. So I just saw last week that the Civic Si is nothing to write home about so I was looking at the Civic Type R but good God it is ugly AF!! After watching your video and some consideration I am going to go ahead and do what most people do and is just get the 2018 even if there are going to be many problems with it for the people who but the first year models. Just like when the new iPhone 8 comes out, rest assured the phone will kick ass but within a few days people will bitch and moan about what's wrong with the smallest thing or how the color is a finger print magnet or how much it sucks to use the phone underwater. Due to your video, I am not going to buy a Civic Touring which was also on the buying list. Since today is the last day of the month, I was going to go into the dealer and go right before they close and get a new one below invoice. I sold cars for 10 1/2 years and these cars go for under invoice but the 2018 Accord will not.....Well at least for 3 to 6 months depending on how consumers buy up the car or not. ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS COOL VIDEO!!

Not into tactile displays. That last thing I need is another thing in a vehicle to distract me. So to compensate I just don't get the display and simply use a third party bluetooth receiver and tune my radio in to it and just keep it on that station when I want to listen to playlists on my mobile cellular telephone. Mostly I just listen to the radio though. Heh. Great video. Thanks for the mini tour and info.

Be happy man! Nothing is perfect!

I have the 2017 Si. Another thing about the shifter knob is it gets waay hot in the summer! I have to put a kid sock on it to drive. 😂

This generations civic is just huge...its basically the size of an accord, which I like

i like that the hatch unlocks without releasing...so what you still have to open it manually most newer cars dont even have a real physical latch

You can read your owners manual in the HondaLink app.

Great review 😎

Why so many dislikes on this video? It’s a bit tongue in cheek but it’s all useful info. Thanks!

Had mine just over 3 years. Only 23000 miles on clock. Drivers seat cushion as hard as hell. I now sit on a piece of foam😒 I also own a 20 year old Smart car with nearly 80000 miles on clock, and still the seat is comfy

I live in BC too. I'm picking mine up on Thurs. unfortunately it will be CVT couldn't find a manual. Got $1000 knocked off the price though.

My cousin just traded his 2015 Civic-EX for a new 2018 model. Gone on 2018 Civic-EX: locking fuel door, CD player, removable rear headrests (they are "sewn" into the rear seat!), manual emergency brake. Still has the crummy "bicycle" toy horn, though. No physical knobs for radio or climate control. Interior "carpet" seems to be the same junk used for the trunk liner! So, Honda, where is the little bird? You know, the one that goes, "cheap, cheap, cheap!"

Can someone please help me with this. I want that set up, with the infotainment and a manual. But I can't find any models like that. Am I looking at the wrong trims, or wrong years?

I just recently got a 2018 honda civic ex. Love it just wish it had leather seats which i would of got with the exl but would of been 30-40 extra, I think it comes with other things tho. Also the ex doesn't have automatic seats. But it's not the base model were u get nothing basically. You get the honda link screen, autosun/moon roof, push button start, remote start, cruise control, auto brake hold, the nice alloy wheels and some other things. Very happy for my first NEW car.

The key will open the trunk youbjust have to hold the trunk button down for a few seconds. That's annoying tho

Interesting video, thnx for sharing.

Love the ending. Maybe some text list to go with your 9 points. Im looking for a car for my wife. Civic has some issues. 1 no mem seat, but supposedly thats a luxury feature. 2. Like the sports version in Aus but it doesn't come with built in nav for that model only in the VTi Lx model or touring in US. You need to use phones gps. No volume knob. That HVAC no buttons would annoy us as well. So we like features overall of the top spec, but the twin tail pipe of sports is better looking. Now looking at Hyundai i30 now. More conservative looking like a golf, but looks to be more conventional like inside with functions. Also with civic we do wonder the longevity of the central TFT screen. Whats wrong with physical dials. Less things to go wrong. Be a nightmare to fix screen, and costly if after warranty period.

Did you get this from Campus Honda? I'm going to go test drive one this weekend. I'm not 100% decided on trim level yet, but probably the same as you have but with the CVT. I would consider the manual if I didn't have to drive in Colwood crawl traffic every day. Did you consider the Mazda 3 or any other sporty hatches? If so what made you decide on the Civic?

I HATE rev hang. It's especially annoying on a manual shift car....

How do you turn off navigation or GPS in this car? Is there a way to turn it off? Please help. Thanks

the key does open the boot/trunk. you're meant to hold it down for a second. not available in manual in australia. i have cvt , and sports mode paddle shift. a little bit of lag with cvt, but in sports mode it is great and very responsive.

Great clip, damn lovely car too!

I have a 2018 LX Coupe with the 6 speed standard and I absolutely love the car. It's an amazing car. My favourite car I've ever driven. Gonna have it until it dies I think. I drive it all the time. Best purchase I've ever made. I've had the car since April and I still enjoy it as much as I did the day I got it.

The base is around 20,000 sport a couple more and the si is just a bit more. Is the the extra money worth the difference, is it noticeable difference? Advice

been looking at a couple automatic 2017 civic ex hatchback. love both i’ve looked at but engines have a loud rattle to it. is that normal for this car??

I had an accord and i traded it for a civic EXT and I love it 51 highway for long trips 30 cities the only thing as usual Honda seating

Wish the hatch was optioned like that in the states. I mean leather, power seats, sunroof and a manual. Wow. Must be nice.

How did you get a Sport Touring with a manual transmission? Honda only lists the POS CVT transmission with that trim level.

Please make a vid about the rear wiper. And if it’s usful please demo

....saw no mention of the really impressive fuel efficiency potential for this turbo 6M (talk about a missed opportunity!)

very informative, thank you.

I installed a Mugen shift knob on my 2017 6MT ST Civic Hatch. Just buy the proper boot adapter off Amazon for cheap. Take the trim pieces off and cut the zip tie holding the stock chrome boot ring and install the new adapter. With this set up I can now install ANY shift knob I want.

Test drove this car ... Very compact inside ... Went wit a v6 2017 accord sedan ...

I have a 2016 sedan and I’ve been having issues with the stereo basically since the first day I bought it

CD's are so '90s, good review!

To change the wallpaper you only have to press on an empty spot on the screen and the menu will pop up. Changing the skin basically sets the computer to a ''normal'' android ui, then it reacts like a phone would.

Hey Graham, have you had any problems with oil dilution on your Civic?

Hey Graham, just bought a new 2017 hatch ex-l w/ sensing and I noticed my volume slider on the steering wheel doesn't work. Searched the interwebs and it seems I 'm not the only one with this problem, however other countries civic hatch's seem to have the ability. I'm in the U.S. and no go. does it work for you or are you stuck with the pressing of the slider as well. Seems like an oversight by Honda. No mention of this in the manual. Thanks for any info.

how did you get the sport touring edition with a manual transmission?

I like your humour lol

What's going on with that TURBO emblem on the trunk? I haven't seen that yet except on yours.

Is the Sport Touring with manual transmission only available in Canada? I can't seem to find it on the Honda Website if I tried to build one.

Here 3 years later. Y’all cut this man some slack I thought this video had character.

What your looking for is an atmospheric blow off valve. But it does have one from factory.

HILARIOUS!!

What's the point of the hatch button on the key fob then? Sounded like you didn't press and hold it

Where do live that you have a manual in a sport touring civic hatch? US doesnt have this option.

I was really excited that they came out the the hatch in the turbo manual configuration the one I test drove was a lower model sport it had the same radio Set up as my brothers 2012 civic si which was kinda of disappointing, the power numbers sound good but it didn't feel quick even when you try to load the turbo I wanted to love the civic hatch so much but it just seems like Honda could've added more features or actual sport into it but I'm sure they made sure they left room on the table for the civic si and the civic type R I ended up getting a base 2017 wrx instead super fun to drive everyday especially dealing with traffic when you need the power it's there

I have the EX-T model, 2017. I went from the 2009 Civic si- amazing car. Love my new car as well! But, it's missing a few things I miss from my SI- the sound system... this car is SO weak in the sound department! Anyone else? Suggestions? There is no audio places in my area.

I love mine too. Can you tell me if the sideview mirrors fold in for tight spaces or car wash?

hahahaha funny as hell out-tro man brilliant

How did you get leather seats with a manual transmission?

Great info. The filming gives me motion sickness.

Nice video! :-)

Good video

Surprised holding the button doesn't open the trunk. Hopefully aftermarket tunes like hondata will reduce the rev hang.

I’m confused why your civic doesn’t have the remote start button in the fob? I’m also from BC and my EX-T has this and is technically a lesser trim than the sport touring
