For me, and its 2020, I still see this as fresh. And a manual is still available on top trims is a bonus

Nice review. I drove both the manual and CVT over the weekend. Both versions were terrific.

Great review, TFL! I just reviewed a Honda Civic Hatchback. I probably won't post the review until Saturday (since I am still in the process of editing it).

I greatly appreciated its very aggresive, yet still sophisticated exterior design. The interior though could use some work on the lesser LX and Sport trims. After all, I reviewed the EX trim which comes fairly well equipped and has a decent amount of soft to the touch materials. Keep up the great work, TFL!

Beautiful car. Unique and sporty. The rear bumpers look like afterburners it does not look like a civic however. It looks like a simplified Lamborghini. I want one! .

First competitor that comes to my mind is the Mazda 3 hatchback

[LeadMunitions]

Just got the Ex last week…love it!!! super fun to drive and gets a lot of head turns!

Nathan you went to Alice!! I miss ripping those canyons on my sportsbike. Love La Honda road. Hope you had fun over there.

Great review I'm happy Honda is coming back to the hatchback game but considering their past something tells me the civic hatch isn't gonna last long maybe I'm wrong we will have to wait and see

Honda should make AWD available. So people don't have to buy Slowbaru

[olibrehio]

Love the look of these. It's not for everyone but to me they look awesome.

Si trim will only be for coupe and sedan models, the hatchback's "big brother" is the Type R.

[jparks]

Honda's stupid add 6 HP with premium fuel sinks the whole upper end packages

[DanielSparten]

I think the fact the Sport trims requires Premium Fuel kinda kills the deal, unless you're not caring about paying about $5-10 more.

[vincentmaturo]

Those bumpers are a mess. Looks like two departments styled the front and rear ends. One department did the uppers and one department did the lowers. And neither knew what the other was designing. Then Honda just stuck them together. Great reviews for the Civic, but if looks could kill, this car should be locked up.

[nicholasbeckford]

the hatchback to me just seems a lot sportier than the si coupe...

[trenchy]

I'm patiently waiting for the Type R and it's specs/pricing in Australia. Could be my first brand new car :-O

[robv]

Would you recommend this for winter driving? maybe some snow tires. Thank you

[fajarr.a.w]

In Indonesia we don't have manual transmission because all type is slow CVT transmission

[robv]

Did you ever get a chance to drive it in snow, I am interested in getting one, but if it does not do well in the snow thinking of either the new CRV or Ridgeline. Thank you

Hi~ I just want to ask to Nathan. I saw you from the review about Hyundai Elantra Sport with Motoman Tv.

To be honest, which car is better between Elantea sport and Civic Htachback? Not the aspect of performance, but for general.
