If you hold the regen braking down in Econ mode, it'll actually lock it in place. But also, when you place the vehicle in Sport mode, hold the brake, push the gas pedal all the way in, and the vehicle will actually launch for you, giving you 100% RPMs all the way up until you let off the gas. Then after that, if you do not hit the brakes, it'll stay engaged, and there's only one open CVT motor that's opened up full 100% throttle from zero to top out. It's a pretty amazing car. The Accord hybrid also!

when you do the keyless entry and the back door didn't open, you have to change a setting on the dash or in the info screen to make it unlock all doors or just the driver door.

I have about 26k now on my 2023 sport touring hatch 6mt. These new civics are such competent and fun to drive vehicles, no matter the trim. Aside from a few random interior rattles and replaced drivers seatbelt that would no longer retract, it's been flawless. Averaging 34 MPG for the life of the vehicle so even non-hybrid these things sip fuel.

My late Honda Fit was also uncomfortable on long trips with its lack of lumbar support, until I stuffed an air bladder into the seat back and connected it to a blood pressure pump. BOOM!..ghetto lumbar support!

Urban and sport are overused.... the car is just grey.
Soon they will start adding more to the color.. "urban forecast raining foggy potholes grey"

For some reason, this civic reminds me so much of my 1990 accord back when I was in my mid 20s, now that I’m past my 50s the only thing holding me back from pulling the trigger on this one is the lack of no lumbar support as you can imagine my back is not what it used to be lol 😂, so Honda please give us a lumbar support for us old timers. 🧑🏻‍🦯‍➡️

Very nice review. I have a 23 Accord EX-L and love it. It's been very reliable and a great gas saver at 45-50 mpg consistently. The new hybrid Civic is a great alternative if you are OK with a smaller car.

Just got mine last month and I am really enjoying it! 1k miles down and many more to go. Definitely recommend it. My average mpg is around 46mpg which is insane!

Man your videos feel so well put together, keep up that work man 👍

[nicktune]

glad they fixed the ground clearance issue on the 11th gen. my 10th gen scrapes the front bumper literally everywhere, including most parking spaces with the little concrete barriers. cant pull out of a lot of gas stations without going super slow.

I drive an RS5, the v8 one. Once it's paid off I am getting one of these as my daily (the hatchback). Just a solid daily that you don't have to think about and it still a little fun. Honda really did it with the hybrid. Good stuff

Bought the car, like the car, love the quickness when needed. Love the clocked 59mpg in first 30 miles driven. Hate the Urban Grayge color which seems unsafely invisible. I keep the headlights on. Mind bending learning curve w all the customizable features. Hate that there is no CD player; yeah, yeah, radio ain't my thang- already paid for my tunes. Way of the world. Easy to drive with lots of safety features. Some road noise and quite a lot of bumpiness, but it is a small yet somewhat luxurious car (the Sport Touring). Worth buying.

Thanks for the drive--it was nice. The Civic hybrid seems to satisfy its sporty-pleasant-economical niche particularly well. I like smooth and quiet, and the hybrid seems exceptionally so for that segment. Stylish, refined, quality--seems like a smart buy. I'd go for the hatchback.

Such a beautiful generation of the Civic. Quickly becoming one of my favorites. (I've long since gotten over the feeling of "the Civic is becoming the Accord!")

Thank you for demonstrating the Bose audio. I seen so many reviews and wanted to hear how good the sound system is

[Mannyvz]

I’ve had mine 2 months and totally love it.

13:06 it's HEAVILY iSoC (indicated state-of-charge) and power demand based. When the engine kicked in at 11 mph, you were at 30% iSoC and the power-meter was at %5 and going up. At 50% iSoC and above, the engine-on threshold is 12.5% power (on the gauge.) It linearly drops to 0 power below ~50% iSoC, reaching 0 at 20-25% iSoC.
14:10 shows this behavior. 40% iSoC, power-meter at about 10-11% before the ICE lights.

Great video. We are shopping for a hybrid vehicle and this is a fantastic package, great interior! Definitely get the hatchback version.

@3:19, yes Topher its just an entry Civic, but in case you didnt know, even the 2022 Civic Touring had rear usbs, the Civic touring 2025 doesnt have them, nor do they have fog lights. Honda is really annoying with the cost cutting

[harrmuu]

So the door handle unlock is a setting you can adjust in the infotainment where you can set when you put your hand on the driver/passenger door handle, you can unlock all the doors.
