Most people think that snow tires are a waste of money. I will gladly purchase for the extra security.

Up here in Quebec (Canada), winter tires are mandatory (by law) from December 1 to March 15. I wouldn't dream of driving without them in the winter, it's much safer and makes for a less stressful ride.

Yes there is a cheat code, you gotta park the car, 1- push the brake pedal and hold it then turn the traction control off and then back on 2- let off the brake pedal and turn on the E-brake then turn the traction control off and then back on 3- push the brake pedal and hold it with the E-brake still on and then turn traction control off and then back on, both traction control lights should start flashing quickly and everything it’s completely off, as soon as you push the traction control again or turn off the car, everything it’s back on 😉

Put on Eco mode if you have a CVT. It helps on the slipping.

Watching NAUS gets me more confident buying fwd great for all seasons. Thanks! Hope to get one

Thanks for the video my dude

Only had one snow so far but I didn't have to get out in it so I can't really comment on how it handles in the snow. If I ever move up north or some place it snows a lot I will 100% get a set of snow tires. Luckily Honda didn't decide to put Summer times on the sport models people would be going crazy lol. Thanks for another great video.

Awesome video. I own a 2023 civic sport touring with 6 speed manual, same color as yours. Mine came with continental contipro contact from factory. I swapped them to Bridgestone blizzaks ws90 for winter. This is my first front-wheel drive car. It drives as almost as good as my old Impreza on Michelin x-ice snow tires. Very impressed with civic suspension design and how planted it feels.

Awesome share! Thanks!!

Love the Blizzaks! Had them on my 2013 GLI for years. When I originally bought the car I had no idea what it’d be like in the snow with the stock rims and tires. Literally couldn’t drive it in the snow. Put on 17” winter wheels and Blizzaks and it ate it up. Night and day difference. So just like you were saying…any front wheel drive car will be fine if you have the right setup

Man you should have over 100k subs by now your videos are amazing

I just upgraded my stock tires to PS4 all seasons and its been a huge difference. I don't really have the time and patience (or space!) to change my wheels for the winter season and then back for summer season. I think the tire upgrade is underrated.

My 2017 Civic had some real cheap snow tires on it and the car performed unbelievably well in the worst snow conditions. I would change from the snow tires in the winter months back to all season in the summer. The only issues I ever had were clearance ones when turning down streets where the plows left 1-foot walls of snow.

I have a 10th gen Sport Touring, and it is great in the snow. Of course, I have winter tires on it. It’s definitely all about the tires!

I have these same tires on an AWD 2-ton sedan. Does well in the snow. I would say the Firestone and Goodyear snows did better with deep snow though.

My 2010 Honda Fit base was epic in the snow - it didn’t come with TC and at 185/15 (possibly “16?) they cut through everything to grip. As long as you’ve got snow tires you’re set.

Another note to add to this video. Up here in Canada, a month ago we had -45C weather where I live. I have a 2022 civic sport touring and I park outside. I have a block heater for the car. Plugged it in for a couple hours before driving in -45C, car started up, no issues, a little whine from the alternator, but settled down right away. I let it idle for about 2 mins, then drive gently. Car warms up really quick. No complaints from me. I don't plug in block heater until it reaches around -25C. Probably the best winter car I have owned.

Glad you posted this I’m looking at the hatch now, watched some of your previous videos and I’m curious if you have had any more issues with oil leaking or the hatch leaking. I’m pretty concerned about both of those

Getting the 24 sport same color in automatic definitely subbing you got great content. You do an alignment when you swap the wheels or na?

Can you please make a video about the rear wiperblade replacement nobody online has a singe video

Great handling for the front-wheel drive in those conditions. I just wouldn't switch from my WRX manual to any front-wheel drive in harsh Canadian winter

I really want a 2024 Civic Sport and I don’t want to have to buy an SUV just to compromise for the first two months of the year. I’m in Massachusetts and January and February snowstorms are ridiculous

Doing donuts in the snow is a lot easier than on dry pavement, isn't it? Thanks for another great video in your Civic!

The other trick for winter driving you got going in addition to winter tires is the manual trans! Don't know why you didn't mention it, but the manual gearbox will allow for a much finer control of the power applied to the wheel compared to an automatic. Throttle response is also better on a manual, which helps. Always stay a gear high compared to dry conditions and keep the RPM low to keep the torque low on the wheels. This will reduce spin and greatly improve traction. I often start in 2nd from a stop in those kind of conditions without much extra throttle if at all, and the car won't even show signs of bogging down, since there is less resistance to make the wheels spin.

Maybe the Type R's pedal dance works also on regular civic to disable traction control

I have had a civic si and a wrx. I live in a snowbelt. You can make it through just fine in the Si. But you can have a whole lot more fun in the wrx with the awd and mechanical handbrake.

I have the stock tires on my 11th gen hatchback sport and it’s a tank in the snow just tractors thru it.

Very informative video! Do I need all 4 winter tires or just 2 for the front wheels is good enough?

Snow tires are a must for many safety reasons

Wow that's alot of snow. Glad I don't get much in Vancouver. I noticed you still have the stock shift knob. How do you like it? I plan on replacing mine, don't like the feel of it.

i have michelin xice on my integra and its a blast in NY winters the Type R and Type S integra can defeat the traction control with the pedal dance, id assume its the same for these

I have the the 2023 Hatchback Sport with the CVT, up in Quebec. I live kind of in the middle of nowhere with pretty intense winters and i'll be honest, other than my driveway being VERY steep, it has handled very well. I'm on 16 inch wheels with some Khumo winter tires, some fairly basic ones and the car handles great. My only complaint would have to be attributed to the CVT sometimes getting in the way of doing what i want. I've been looking into trading it in for a manual one. Most front wheel drive cars will handle well in the snow, as long as you're careful which you always should be in the winter.

I got a camry se nightshade and I turn my tc off and the light still come on to and I got a auto e brake but not bad tho. Them suv are going all over the place man lol This car was on my list but I got family that work for toyota.

@2:30 your traction control is off, that is your anti-skid or whatever honda calls it, which controls your side-to-side traction, if that makes sense. It's kicking in so youre not getting too sideways from the heavy throttle you're applying. It's using your brakes to keep your vehicle as straight as the system can.

Buy 1" smaller diameter rims and slap a higher side wall winter tire to compensate.. Huge difference

Videos like this make me more appreciative about living in Florida

performs better than my ford fusion in the snow

Hey Naus, this has nothing to do with the video but I’m 16 and will most likely be getting an 8th gen civic 1.8 with a manual transmission as my first car soon, and I was just wondering what mods you have on your 8th gen, I know you have some si parts on it. This will just be a car to commute to school and back but I do want it to be at least a little fun which is why I’m going with a manual.

PPF is a must, My '24 Civic e:HEV is going to have Xpel on the complete front end inc headlights. Its gotta be done. Goodyear are making some very good tyres and keep winning group testes and are never far behind Michelin. I do have one question if anyone knows is about the rear brake pads, since they're on an electronic parking brake is that a dealer fit only option? as sometimes they have to plug in diagnostics to put the braking system into service mode so that the Technician can then wind back the piston without damaging anything, Does anyone know this to be the case with the 11th gen?.

I'm moving to Alaska here soon. Trying to decide if I should keep my Civic Sport and get winter tires, or sell (and ultimately loose some value) and then purchase an HR-V.

Man with the Blizzaks, your Civic is a BEAST in the snow! Have no idea where that hate is coming from. Quick question for you, how’s the overall headlight performance at night?

VSA is not off, it's reduced. To disable it you need to do pedal dancing : While pressing the brake reduce VSA, and turn ON. While pressing brake, put E brake and let go of brake. Reduce VSA, turn it ON. While pressing the brake, reduce VSA, turn it ON. Now VSA is disabled, VSA light should be on at all time. Work on 11th Gen Civic, Integra 23+ and TLX 2024 maybe

I’ve had a Corolla and a Civic with traction control. Both were great in the snow. Both had all season tires too. Just learn to drive in the snow peeps.

I live in very mountainous terrain where most of the traffic lights are on a hill. When trying to accelerate, all the front drive/rear drive vehicles get stuck regardless of snow tires or not. AWD is a must here.

I hated both of my civic in the snow! Even with good tires I feel like it's too low and not heavy enough to hold on the road.

hey man I have been watching your vids for a while now and this may be a bit off topic but I have been converting my t maxx 2.5 4910 to a 3.3 4909 and i need a little help on parts. I want to put in the 3.3 trany but it uses the bigger drive shaft outputs and the stock drive shafts dont fit on to it. the current 3.3 maxx center drive shafts are too long for the short wheel base. got any idea what to do or what did you use for yours.

I don’t know if they have a Awd but if they don’t they will get stuck. I remember with my non awd Civic getting stock and having to get help to shovel snow.

The wipers don’t seem to go fast enough for heavy rain. I still love the car though.

Separate TPMS sensors for winter tires? Was hoping the TPMS didn't involve physical sensors and instead off the ABS.

How much did the PPF run you??

I would add electric heater to mirrors.

I believe you will find that noise soon or later.

I want this to be my next Honda vehicle purchase. Either the Sport or Sport Touring with the manual transmission. If not, it'll most likely be the Si trim.

The cheat code to turn off traction control is: make sure you are parked, while holding the brake release the parking brake and turn on traction control then back off, then enable the parking brake then release the brake pedal then turn on traction control then back off, finally hold the brake pedal while the parking brake is on then turn on and off the traction control again. You know you did it right if it starts blinking.

How many cars do you have? A civic & a Passport or just the Civic?

The cvt is even worse with traction control. All the button does is turn the light on but it still hits even at stops. But luckly my Ex has Blizzaks too and I havent gotten stuck in snow for almost 2 winters now

DUH. All front wheel drive cars do OK in snow! Add snow tires (plus a decent traction control) and it will do better than most cars, including AWD with regular tires! Buying used tires is not smart. Unless they are not old (dry) and you verified the manufacture date.

Raptor/no Trx/no CivicSnowTires/yes……..blizzard/whocares

Bro am buying 2021 Civic lx in New Hampshire. Is this car fine for snow driving?

Snow tires make anything fine in the snow

Tires are obviously huge. You basically can’t drive the car with the stock tires. I tried.

Lets see 6 inches of snow , cant say its good in the dnow till theres snow not a dusting!! Snow tires should be mandatory for any fwd/rwd car in winter but idc your getting stuckwhrn its higher than your rocker panels , its a sports car and not made for driving in the snow, can it be done sure but why not get a winter beater 4x4 or awd , im always helping people get unstuck or out of a ditch

some of the drivers struggling are dealing with the wrong tires as well as poor driving skills. The manual transmission is a bonus for better control of the car in dry conditions and snow.

I mean, its a Civic, not a Wrangler. But hey, people clicked in didn't they?

Accord is goood in snow

Would like to an automatic with this car but don't want a CVT. Nice E-brake slides by the way.

Your better off with type r

duh.....you have snow tires on......

My 2023 civic is by far the worst car ive ever owned driving in the snow maybe cuz im in canada and the cvt possibly

I'm canadian It's law to have winter tires in the winter... I love taking my 2024 civic in the snow.

Most people can’t drive on dry roads let alone snow covered roads !

Haha Car doesn't wanna die from someone acting a fool over 30mph on snow

The Sedan is so much cooler looking.

Most people don’t want to have two sets of tires. Also snow tires are loud. Good all season tires are better.

make a liar of me 😂

break in turn traction on and off parking break on foot off break turn traction on and off break in turn traction on and off

You drive to fast in the snow.

Stick shift is a horrible choice. What do u think your driving a 60's muscle car? Or I had a dirt cheap '87 Civic with a lamess stick in high school because they were cheaper. Never again...

'Promo SM'

it's not the car, it's the tires.

All three civics ive owned were not the greatest in the snow

The cheat code is X,X,Y,B,A,A,B,B

My old 1983 Honda Accord with just all season tires drove better than this Civic. The Toyotas are much better engineered, more reliable than Honda nowadays. Hondas best years were back in late 80s and 90s.

Michelin Cross climate is real all season tires and it is better than many dedicated, winter tires (of course not the best ones). I know this from personal experience but also from tests.

Electric E-brakes🤮

$42k for a honda civic, why wouldnt you just buy the WRX😂

The new Civic, as ALL Hondas, is just plain awful-and not just in the snow.
