I gave up a VW Golf for one of these and the difference is incredible - the Honda is light years ahead on fuel consumption, engineering, refinement and reliability. In short , this is a classy car.

I have the version previous to this, have been driving it the past 2 years and have been extremely happy with it. 1.6 diesel aswell. For a now 10 year old car(mines 2014), it still looks the part on the road and handles scarily well for what it is. Good job Honda

I watch so many car reviews on KZfaq and this is the most thorough and refreshing review I have seen in ages. Thanks. Sub'd

Most detailed review on the civic, excellent!

Great details regarding the ongoing updates to this 'facelift', often overlooked by other reviews. Fair play

What a great video, so comprehensive. I’ve just been contacted by a local dealer with a brilliant offer on the exact model, even though I wasn’t planning on replacing my 145000 mile Honda Accord 2007 2.0SE, petrol, just yet as it still feels so well put together. I can see myself being Honda for life. I get 43 plus mpg out of my Accord, but can still get great entertainment out of the Vtec engine, when suitable. It’s the best overall car I’ve ever had, never lets me down, amazing gearbox, engine, electrics and chassis, it’s a pleasure to drive and own. It’s still contemporary looking and makes other cars from the mid 2000s look plain dated. One spot of rust on one wheel arch, otherwise it looks new,mi can never understand why Honda can’t keep importing them.

A professional and detailed review. Thank you.

I've just bought this model and have been blown away with how good it is, fantastic balance of performance and economy

I bought one and do not regret it. It is the best choice i could have made! I couldn't be more satisfied with its practicality and daily performance. WHAT A GREAT CAR! I own the 1.8 petrol from 2015. It is fun to drive, only uses 6.2 L per 100km. Maintenace is so easy it can all be done by yourself. The boot space is mind boggling I fit 2 mountainbikes in mine!

I subbed to this channel a couple of months ago after seeing a review on another car by the other guy. Both these guys are brilliant at what they do. Best on KZfaq in my opinion after watching many car review channels. They clearly do their homework to enable them to provide us with all the detail rather than waffle you sometimes come across. Class leading channel.

Absolutely brilliant review with all the information I could ever need. Looking at getting an approved-used 9th gen Civic and this definitely helped us make the decision!

My 2006 1.8 Civic has done 221,000 miles with very little problems in that time nit bad for a petrol

Just bought this. Wow, what a drive. All about the driver

Thanks for the review, after much consideration I bought this car, and have been very pleased with my choice. Nice drive, super economic, and reliable.

Excellent review! By far the most complete and competent I've seen so far! Keep it up!

That was one comprehensive review and it was only in the closing remarks that he betray any enthusiasm for the car, up to then totally objective. I'm impressed with the car, and the reviewer.

I have a 2007 civic type r with 103k on it now, totally reliable. Just bought a mk9 65 plate 1.6dtec and loving it so far. No petrol station visits every 3 days anymore😂

i feel like you are the god of the hondas the way you perfectly present this video.

Best in depth review iv seen, albeit im 2 years late to the video, very useful nonetheless since I cant afford the new civic lol

What an excellent review. All aspects covered in great detail. I bought the exact same model in 2020, to replace a mk5 Golf 1.9tdi Sport, and I’m really happy with mine. Low running costs, lots of kit, huge boot, plus it’s a Sport so slightly better looking. The only two negative points (vs the Golf) are the handling (it’s not as assertive), and interior build quality, but other than that, it’s far superior. VW made huge mistakes with the metal protection on the mk5/6’s, the Honda doesn’t have that issue.

Driven one of these 5 years and 90k so far by far the best most reliable best designed car I've ever owned, for it's segment it's a work of utter genius I'd happily drive it forever .

I had this.. got a beemer now, but I do have nostalgia for it.. I had zero complaints about it.. it did the job so well..

An excellent and comprehensive review.

Thankyou for a very detailed review and l just brought the 1.6 Sr dtec diesel civic on a 16 plate. The reasons why l choose the diesel civic is Great Mpg, Honda safety and reliability, camera, Satellite navigation, cavernous boot, fixed glass roof and the driving position. I have also subscribed to channel, keep up the great work.

Very informative and detailed review - thank you. I am considering getting a 2014 model and with the shift away from diesel (I live in London), tending towards the 1.8 petrol in either manual or auto guise. The paddle shifters are pushing me towards the auto, even with lower mpg than the manual.

Great review, thanks!! Watched loads, this was the most detailed and super helpful.

Great review 🔥

I have been watching so many videos on this particular Civic and your review is definitely the best. Absolutely exceptional and very thorough. Thank you so much. Having owned a Honda Civic before I am feeling the pull to remain strong with them but also tied between the Civic and a Golf. Am I right in thinking there is no spare tyre with this car? Thanks again, absolutely brilliant. I have subscribed..

How could anyone prefure a rotary dial over a fast and easy to recline quick lever to adjust the seat back? It seems to be a Great Brittan thing. What am I missing?

Great review. Initially thought it was mechanical detail heavy, but it was really comprehensive and helpful overall. I wonder whether children could easily see out of the rear windows? The sill seems really high.

A damn good review

Great review and very helpful...thanks.

Just brought one of these, the SAT NAV shows Broadbridge Heath about 5 mins from my house lol and recognise all the roads around Itchingfield

Great review as always.

The analogue binacles and narrow digital driver displays are a mess I am afraid to say, when i test drove one i didn't know where to look, either go digital or stick to analogue.

This car is superb, the dashbord is super awesome ,i like very much. Wath i do not like is some sounds inside the car on the tourer model and some metal parts rust a lot. A nice car dou

Great review. I've owned the same model for a year now. I bloody love it. Not the fastest thing on the road, but let me tell you, it's the best most evilest looking 😎🤩 and it has a nice little kick ✅☑️💯™️

try to change USB stick without twisting your shoulder. otherwise I love it. Just a bit awkward to get in and out of

Honda should go back to multi link rear suspension.

Just got a Civic tourer 17 plate I hope it’s as good as people say

Did thy not fix the rear suspension ?

So much storage in that car, you can call it a Cardis.

Sorry if I take advantage ... but I thought that among the readers of the comments there is someone more experienced than me. Owner of Honda Civic 2015 IX series, engine and gearbox without problems, the car have too light and imprecise steering exceeding 110 km / h: is there a remedy? PS. I regret the VII series ... very funny car, not like the one I currently have ...... Thank you

What the hell kind of power rating is PS?

I have only considered the 1.8 petrol because I really don't like diesels, but Jesus Christ, twice as much torque and from low revs vs only 170 at the very end of the range is a big, big deal. Maybe the smoothness and the sound aren't worth such a high price...

I have 8 gen civic with 1.8l petrol and planing to get this one with the same engine, but i'm confused after watching the video. Are you suggesting that diesel version is better?

i love your content the best its a in depth brilliant positive review,this model diesel honda civic with free tax and high mpg is a very reliable family car,this shape is the nicest they made and dont you just want one,i love the HONDA CIVIC.your information is class i like all your car reviews you know your car stuff,all the best 2023, take care m8

Hi, weird question but is there a memory card or USB slot in the car? For music, not for the sat nav maps

What trim is this, SE plus, Sport or SR?

Does anyone know if the 1.6 i-dtec on a 66 plate is ULEZ compliant? I drive 20,000 miles a year so which means I need a diesel car plus I have notice the petrol Variant is about £2,000 more and will cost near to £1000 more on fuel due to MPG deference

Does 1.6 disel have turbo?

I wish there were subtitles. Can someone write the positive and negative aspects?

I have just bought an idtec mk9 65 plate with 77k miles, I think my engine sounds really loud😳

Hondas: 1) Almost as reliable as Toyotas... 2) *_...but don't look ridiculous!_*

How many times did he say variant in this video haha.

Diesel is filthy. The 1.8 petrol is the best engine choice.

Funny how in America the civic and the corolla killed the focus

I really dislike how people review cars based on how long it takes to get to 60 and how slow they are. We drive cars on roads with speed limits no?

There should be a reason why to prefer shooting a video to writing an article for a paper or radio. I can't capture one here - it's all talk talk talk. Couldn't even catch a decent sight of the back of the inside. And it's 40 minutes!

It’s so ugly next to the 8th but I’m sure a better car. Awful design though
