I hadn't even considered Honda in my purchase decision-making, but after watching your review and doing some research, I was sold. Put down a deposit on one yesterday. So glad your review popped up on my feed when it did!

Great to hear! So happy to help you. Hope you enjoy your car once it arrives! Thanks for watching.

I have watch a number of reviews on this car and all have nothing but good things to say. A very desirable car if only it was a tad less expensive.

Yes it is expensive, but somewhat justified. Thanks for watching!

Do the sunvisors extend? My commute involves low lying sun and it always shines through the gap on the side window. Extending sunvisors like my partner’s Kia Seltos is one of those small touches that make a huge difference.

Did it surprise you how fast it felt? mine certainly did, I have had hot hatches that have not felt as fast, especially the pickup on the motorway say 55mph to 75mph. It is very impressive.@@bagets007

I have now bought an Advance. It's excellent.....worth every penny, and great fun to drive. I traded in my Audi A6 TDI Quattro. My fuel bills have shrunk dramatically.

Driving Civic X 1,5 CVT and CR-V m:hev and owing civic XI m:hev would choose last one. Interior quality, driving, responsiveness to kicking acceleration pedal and fuel consumption are incredible outstanding. Could achieve 2,9 l/100 km in a city. The only weak point is noise hearing from wheels. I’m going to spend some money to make it more silent.

I am intrigued to understand how you would insulate the noise from the wheels?

@@maxcc9161 Exactly how, I don’t know but it works (based on drivers opinions). I know companies here in Poland offering such changes. It cost ca 500-550€. They offer also same with doors - same cost, and floor - much more expensive.

@nOTpASS Жыл бұрын

It would be interesting to research the differences between the Civic and the Acura Integra. There might be some extra insulation in the Acura, which should be a plug-and-play solution to improve the isolation

European supply is from Japan. USA are expected to be built locally. Just hope the supply chain on critical components will satisfy both assembly plants plus of course the Malaysia factory. It's certainly worth the wait having owned mine for 6 months, great drive.

@4wheelsandaseat 10 ай бұрын

A bit hard to compare it to a Golf or Mazda 3 as the powertrain is so different. They’re both great cars for the money, so I guess it would really come down to personal taste.

@@4wheelsandaseat there's two UK based youtube reviewers that made direct comparisons to the Golf and preferred the Civic Hybrid. It's about which car one prefers more in terms of enjoyment and fun I suppose regardless of the cars different power trains.

55K, and fuel economy. I'm not laughing, I just bought a Corolla Touring Sport. But yeah, I'm laughing a bit. I guess if you want a brand new car, you can't go wrong with either. But if you really want to save money, get some cheapo Honda / Toyota second hand until it dies, and buy another one a few years later. Then go electric when EVs are actually worth a damn.

Fair call. EVs will no doubt get more and more affordable in the years to come. Thanks for watching!
