Thanks for watching!

I applaud Honda for continuing to make cars for car enthusiasts at every level!

If this is your first manual car you're getting, do not be worried. I picked up the non-touring hatch in the manual, and it was my first time driving a stick. It is a fantastic learners car, only took me 1 week to get it down. The clutch is light and shifting is very smooth when you shift at 3k+ rpms from 2-4th gear.

It was like I was there with you, very nice review! No nonsense, to the point, calm, quiet place and no noise to interrupt. Very well made. 10/10. I LOVE MANUAL!

In an era of transition to automatic transmissions, this Civic looks like the last samurai. Amazing car. It's a pity that it is not for sale in my country. Cool video

[brakinglate]

I love when people pat their shoes before entering a car.

[cheese]

This is one of the only reviews I was able to sit through and genuinely enjoy watching. Didn't need any jokes to sell me on it- plain and simple, shows the excitement the car brings. +1 like and sub

[EvanTheBaker]

I think this is the perfect spec and color option for this car. Looks so good.

[bcuziwasbored]

This is the review I've been waiting for! I've been thinking about getting the sport-touring hatch but didn't want to order one without seeing a Topher review.

[jeetpatel]

Man’s went 80 on the back roads just to give us a review💀 gotta applaud that 👏

[levelz]

This video just increased my love for manual transmission cars

[dk]

Appreciate it that you demonstrate to the public how a truly engaging driver drives with both hands on the steering wheel even with a manual, not with only left hand on 12 o'clock thinking as if that was cool

[subvet]

This really is an amazing car. Purchased the boost blue manual, and I tell you it is a gorgeous color in person. It's quiet, quick and luxurious with so much feature content. It soaks up bumps exceptionally well while still feeling sporty and tight. With the insane markups on the Si and the incredible number of features you get in this car it really represents what I believe to be the best value and fun for the money in the civic line up.

[Bp]

This was a wise move by Honda. I think manual hatchbacks with this much power represent a sweet spot between fun and practicality. I will easily consider this as a new daily when I sell my G35. Also considering the Type R.

[JDowPCs]

Love it, but the current market conditions make this unattainable for most people for at least 6-8 months+, and even then at probably 5K+ above MSRP given all the stunts dealers are pulling with markup and add-ons.

[IKhanNot]

That's the thing with cars like the Civic and Corolla. They're the "safe" way to purchase a car for a decent price but get a decent amount of features and safety along with dependability and cheap maintenance.

[MisterApeas]

Just picked up my 2024 Sport Touring Hatch 6MT. These first couple hundred miles have been great. The car is as advertised, and best of all, I paid MSRP!

[gns]

It's a shame that they dropped the 6MT from the Accord 2.0T, and even more of a shame that the Accord V6 6MT coupe was dropped from the lineup years ago. Honda's manual shifters are great, and would be even better on cars that have a lot of power.

[soulseekers]

Bro, you drove that car!!! I am happy to see you do that as opposed to other youtubers who don't push cars like that!!

[marcjkeppler]

This is my favorite video so far on the new Civic with the manual transmission — driver POV for the win.

[cjzx]

The rear end gives me strong CrossTour vibes. I'm sure it looks pretty good at night with the lighting.
