I've owned a bunch of civics a 2007 2010 2017 and now a 2022 all have been very reliable cars to date, this one looks fantastic the redesign looks great inside and out but I have a few complaints, the seats much like the 2017 are miserable for long trips minimal lumbar support and rock hard honda needs to fire their seat designer, road noise, I only have an lx model but it is God awfully loud on anything other than glass smooth pavement, electronics I've had a few occasions where my cruise would suddenly stop working no idea why but it just did also twice its told me to take it to the dealer for a fob issue which then disappeared the car has 5 years of warranty but these issues started I the first month which makes me nervous for rhe long term, if honda put better seats, better noise reduction and less finicky electronics this car would 100% be the best in its clas sbecsuse its gorgeous exceptionally good on gas has a great layout and driving mechanics etc...... it just needs perfecting, UPDATE the car has no ac no cruise drivers seat is showing unreasonable signs of wear after 6 months the infotainment system is wonky and one of my fobs triggers the anti theft system oh and the windshield squirter don't work.... I'm beyond livid honda has no parts to replace the defective ones and hasn't since April whe t he problems started and I have received no date that any of the issues will be fixed... the build quality of this car is nowhere near what I expect being long time honda owner and despite supply chain issues customers that buy new vehicles should have issues addressed In a timely manner and I have not... my next vehicle will be a Toyota as the whole experience with this car has been a supreme p!$$ off

Unsafe Significant unaddressed safety issues

I would not let my family drive in this car. I have had an issue with my steering for three months... Three months! At highway speeds after driving for close to a half hour the steering wheel sticks in the dead center position and requires quite a bit of force to make minor corrections, resulting in oversteer. Honda will not test drive the car long enough to replicate the errors. I have tracking that tells me they drove it on the highway for 8 minutes. I've been dealing with Honda's legal department and they have gone quiet. Do not buy this car.

2022 Honda Civic Si 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)
16 of 17 people found this review helpful
The safety features are pretty useless. I like the forward collision warning. I don't like the forward Collision braking. It's braked the car a few times in the last 10k miles and the only way to stop it is give it gas while it's braking and hope it stops. Great for the engine. Lane departure assist will swerve all over si I turned it off. Auto high beams should be off by default as they stay on far too often blinding others. Adaptive cruise control feels sloppy like a teenager learning how much pressure to use for the brakes. Also even the closest following distance is too far away. People will cut you off. Regular cruise control works okay but again the car will brake for you and it's very jarring. I went from using cruise everyday in my last 2 cars to almost never in this car. Bose system is okay but causes the vehicle to rattle like it's not made for the speakers that are in this car. Big disappointment with removal of dual zone climate control, heated seats and fog lights. Blind spot monitoring is actually nice to have and a feature that works well. Good job Honda. Active lane keep I nice for long trips but it gets confused by cracks in the pavement so be prepared to fight it. Backup camera is off center making reversing straight more of a guessing game than it needs to be. Idle stop/start doesn't make sense on a turbo engine and it will cause unnecessary wear on the turbo. Get used to turning it off every time you get in the car. The shifter is nice and the car gets good fuel economy, however the engine is an economy engine. The engine tuning is the biggest downside of this car. Each shift the car holds revs. This requires either riding the clutch to upshift normally, or waiting an additional second between shifts. The car feels like it has maybe 160hp in arizona summers due to extreme turbo heat soak. Because the engine is so small, expect to be in boost to keep with traffic while accelerating. This car will require a lot of effort to accelerate quick and minivans and cuv's will be pulling on you. This car is way too slow for what it should be. Honda also tuned in turbo lag to help with stress on the connecting rods. This car really needs a tune, not for power, but because every decision for this "sport" injected engine is designed for economy. The engine would probably feel better with an automatic. Between the safety tech and engine this car feels like it wasn't made for a manual transmission no matter how great the shifter feels. I can't imagine the clutch and turbo lasting more than 100k miles due to the small displacement and bad tuning. The NHTSA is looking into a steering issue so hopefully that gets fixed. The interior looks nice but rattles more than a versa rental I had. Not even joking. It's poor. Dash cracks and pops. Headliner rattles, b-pillar rattles, rear deck rattles, doors rattle with music, rattles behind steering wheel, dash rattles 3700-4000 rpm. I brought it in to honda and the guy went on a drive with me and said "it's one of the more quiet civics I've heard." My wife's 9th gen has less interior noises. The 9 inch touchscreen is nice but get that TSB done for the rattling. Exterior styling is good but windshield wipers are genuine a** and waste a ton of fluid to clean anything. They also have a proprietary design. Very thoughtful Honda. Interior styling is good but sounds like a can full of rocks. I don't think I want to keep this car much longer. I really don't like the direction Honda is going. Let's be more German and move upmarket but not think things through and polish anything. Let's just make it look nice. The car gets good economy, has a great shifter and handles very well. That's about all I have to say about it. Buy if you want. This car needs a tune. Not for power. The L15CA isn't a power engine. Just for drivability. Could also use a large intercooler for Summers. If you want a manual car that's a good handler and doesn't break the bank, this is it. If you want anything more than okay acceleration, buy another car. If you have any kind of OCD with interior noises don't buy. Expect to disable most if not all honda sense options. They are just bad and feel like a beta test.

Broken brake booster on brand new 2022 civic ex. With 13 miles on the car, the brake pedal would click and clunk when being pressed. The car look and feel good, but I’m starting to understand the lackluster reliability ratings Honda has had over the years.
Best Civic Yet!

I have the 2022 Civic Sport and it's honestly the best car I have till date. Honda really went out of their way with new features in this car and she is a beauty. The front end definitely grew on me and it rides very smoothly. I traded in my 2020 LX model for this car and I love everything about it. The push-button start, keyless entry, redesigned interior, upgraded infotainment system, remote engine start, and I can go on and on and on. Best bang for your buck!!!
