  1. Happy Friday everyone! The Honda Civic remains one of the best-selling vehicles in its class and an easy recommendation for drivers looking for an engaging, fuel-efficient, and sporty commuter car. However, some rivals are catching up by offering more tech, space, style, and value for less money, but we wouldn't blame you for still picking this car.

  2. Sat in one today. My younger high school or college day self would have loved this car. But now being in my 40s and not getting any younger it is hard to get in/out of. Sits so low.

  3. I have a 2016 Civic Touring sedan with 157,000 miles. I've considered upgrading to this Sport Touring hybrid, but my current Civic keeps running like a Swiss watch with no issues.

  4. 13:28 “Uh, there is a hump here for the center, which I don’t know why becaue there’s no all-wheel drive option”
    The hump in the floor is for the exhaust system to run from the engine up front to the muffler and tail pipe out back.

  5. I think from a pure pragmatic standpoint, the Corolla Hatchback beats this. Might not provide the same fuel economy or the same power but it does provide proven reliability, good utility and a spare tire.

    If you can comfortably afford this car, then it's fine, but otherwise, it's pricey and it'll probably take 10 years of savings in gas to make up the difference you paid for the Hybrid which by then, the battery for the electric motor might need a replacement and more..additional costs on top of the already expensive price.

  6. Makes me wonder why the Civic is so much faster than the Prelude, when it uses the same engine, weighs about the same, and is $8-10k cheaper?

  7. For all these cars with "fix a flat" how effective is it? Does it only work on small punctures like a nail that isn't in the sidewall?

  8. You are right 2026 got the black Civic, Sport amd Hybrid , were not on 2025 – so some change I guess. Don't know why the H badges were left out!

  9. Once again , no rear vents, incandescent rear turn lights, this really does cheapen the Civic, The Accord, HRV, all have LED lighting but the Civic Touring,Si Type R don’t. Why Honda ?
    Also a Si hatch, along with more power for the Si models would be nice.
    Honda is lagging behind.

  10. This is the near-perfect vehicle. Only thing that's missing: those rear vents and an AWD option.

    To me, the simplicity of the screen/ HVAC is the ultimate in luxury. Tactile. A loaded Civic over any 'luxury' brand…for sure.
