2022 Honda Civic | Pleasing Everyone is Hard

We review the new 2022 Honda Civic Sedan to decide if this new-old approach works. The car is designed to be for more people worldwide, blending old-school clean design, and functional interior. The 11th Generation will usher in new trims later such as the Si and Type R, for now, we have the car for everyone. And would you choose this over the Hyundai i30, Veloster, Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, or VW Golf?

Now if you want a Honda sedan you have two choices: the Accord and the Accord mini.

[LegendOfGoro]

Honda has done it again. Proving that practicality and usability first makes for some of the best cars.

glad i could start my weekend with physical controls and control arms

I don't like cars, and I don't even enjoy driving anymore. Why do I subscribe and enjoy every SG video? To know how to act around baristas, and for the music recommendations.

[MrMortadella]

Haven’t seen SG this excited about an interior since he found the soy needle stash box hidden in the C7 Corvette.

Honda tech, so I've been in a few of these already. The interior is fantastic. Did away with all the problems I had with the 10th gen. Very easy to use all the controls. Mechanically, it appears to be almost identical to the 10th generation with a couple of minor changes. The biggest difference I can tell is that there's way more open air in the engine bay, which should make things easier to work on. First car I've been able to see the ground through in a long time (if there wasn't a splash shield in the way). All in all, I like them. Big improvement over the 10th gen.

Remember when the Civic was Honda's small car? So many models keep getting larger and larger, then the manufacturer needs to introduce a new model that is the size the jacked-up model used to be.

[Eldaino]

The comparison to the Mazda 3 is so fitting. It just goes to show that you don’t need to completely rebrand yourself as a ‘premium’ brand to get a nice looking and handling vehicle that doesn’t forget what its main purpose at this price point should be: to be useful and efficient while still engaging. Sure, the 3 probably has better steering feel, but regardless of how much you want your car to reflect your ‘lifestyle’, its hard to argue with a real trunk and actual space for people, something the 3 totally forgot. The hatchback versions of these vehicles makes the discrepancy between the two even more vast.

[blammers]

I really appreciate that you take the time to look at these affordable everyday, everyman cars.

[astaldo]

I'm driving this as a lease and after around 700 miles it's been a joy. It handles well and with the 1.5T CVT it is incredibly smooth. The ride is soft and the controls are excellent. It feels sporty but not harsh. So far I would really recommend this.

[iLikeTrainsXx]

This is the review I’ve been waiting for!!! Hands down the best car channel on this platform

[LoveCruise]

This reminds me that when Honda wants to get things done right, they do.

[Nar]

Here before the Civic Cross ™ becomes a thing

[Redstang]

I bought one 3 weeks ago. Great for commuting in one of the largest US cities!

[dylanhale]

If you're going to do that Sedan showdown, please do the Base Models. This premium trim level is almost $10, 000 more when you factor in tax.

[throughdude]

I love the toned down exterior and thank goodness for real buttons and knobs.

[danman]

Agreed. Honda finally got it right and went back to their roots

[bRiAn]

Honestly love how this car looks, I hated the look of the previous gen, cant wait for the si

[MrMatDB]

Im upset they got rid of the coupe. I feel like it would’ve looked really cool with the new taillights and front fascia

[Ianmundo]

as a current owner of a 10th gen Civic, this 11th generation really improves in most areas. It’s another step upmarket. If Honda were further ahead with their electrification I would absolutely buy this Civic however, I live in Iceland where you can effectively only buy hybrid and full electric cars, so I have probably already bought my last Honda.
If I end up in a Tesla or something similar, I will miss the ergonomics, the physical controls that Honda do so well.
