Would be Perfect with different Tires

2022 Honda Civic Touring 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo CVT)
12 of 13 people found this review helpful

Have owned Accords and Civics since 1978. I traded my 2020 Civic EX in for a white with gray interior 2022 Civic Touring. I only have one complaint about the car - road noise along with a suspension that is, in my opinion, much too sporty for a "Touring". Reduced the rating by one star because I had to replace the GoodYear Sport tires with Michelin Touring tires to eliminate the road noise and improve the ride.

Not what I thought

Within the first month of ownership the entire engine cover came off on the freeway. Then another piece came off 1 month later. Both fixed at dealership on separate occasions. The air flow lighting has never worked or lit up. I thought that was just the way it was. I was wrong. Taking that to get fixed. Dashboard makes cracking noises when going over bumps. Electric seats make creaking noises when moving. Audio cuts in and out constantly and navigation screen gets blurry and freezes. Averaging 27mpg constantly no matter how I drive. I just don’t understand what’s going on. I have a 2003 Honda Civic with 400,000 miles. I’ve never had issues with that car like this 2022 touring. Six months in on a brand new car and I can’t wait to get rid of it. It looks nice but it is complete crap.

Love my civic touring hatchback , I used to buy more expensive cars but when I saw the civic was love at first sight , to me , small outside but normal car inside , all modern tech , park sensors , the whole package, and the experience has been very good so far , runs great , fun to drive , some rattles here and there but other than that great , fully recommend. Be aware dealers are becoming very abusive ( more that they were before ) and they are over charging.

Electrical Problems with Climate Control

Within 10-hours after purchase, the defroster stopped working followed by the air-conditioning immediately afterwards. Took it back to the dealer and it's been with them for over a week. I may not get my car back for several weeks as it's difficult to get the electrical replacement parts probably due to chip component shortage. Not very happy with this purchase.

Not for Canadian Winter driving

2022 Honda Civic Si 4dr Sedan (1.5L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I wanted to love this car. I had Civics in the past and loved them. However I am disappointed with the direction that Honda has taken. They advertise safety features that are more disruptive and distracting. The fuel efficiency features are mediocre in savings but will cost more in the long run. Firstly I will address the safety package. The lane departure warning does not work well when roads are partly covered in snow. And in Canada that is frequent. When the car is driving along snow covered road, then detects a bare patch of road, it will sound alarms. It is counter intuitive to safe driving in snow. When driving in wet snow the surfaces with cameras can become obscured causing warnings to appear on the dash. Another distraction to the driver that is not necessary. The placement of the rear back up camera also get covered with water and snow quickly because it is in an alcove. I had a Hyundai just before the Civic, and the placement was different and I had less problems. The washer fluid sprayer is on the wiper blades and when there is any little bit of ice or salt it prevents an even spread on the windshield which then also affects one of the forward cameras. An annoyance to me is also that the wiper blades tuck under the hood so when you are trying to brush snow and ice, you cannot lift the blades to do that. The blowers are also under powered. When you are driving in extremes, the car cannot keep up clearing the window even with the blowers on full, which is also extremely loud. I was driving in -18 degrees and had to have the defrost on full just to prevent the windows from fogging up. If I switched to split defrost and floor, to get some heat in the rest of the car, the windows fogged up again. Not very safe. The convenience feature of the in car microphone is also hamper by the defrost blower. I have had people ask me if I have all the windows open when speaking on the handsfree. I notice that the blowers will automatically turn down when engaging the handsfree function. So they are aware of the flaw! The fuel economy saving function of the idle off is annoying and short sighted. Honda is not alone in this function. I have seen it on a Ford as well. The short term gain of a few moments of idle off puts more wear on the started as well as puts more lifecycles through the battery. The Ford that I had seen it on, now automatically restarts because the battery is weak and the car is only 3 years old. Not saying it is 100 percent the fault of the idle off but it doesn’t help. And there is no way to permanently disable the feature unless you go aftermarket. I now have start car and I automatically turn it off. The remote start range is terrible. I would save just over 200 feet. My old Kia was much better than that so that you could start car from inside a restaurant. Can’t do that with the Civic. I have also had to replace two separate parts on the car with less than 5000km. One was a camera and the other a sway bar(those usually fail after rough driving or long term wear, both of which were not the case). I hope this doesn’t foreshadow other issues because Honda is supposed to reliable. Again a feature I loved about my previous ones. The multiple message centres are also distracting. If you change a setting on the blower for example, it will appear on the console behind steering and the radio console as well. The flashing acts to distract and if are trying to see where to look for the message, it means you are not looking at the road. Several safety feature also operate that way, forcing you to look at message centre instead of on the road. I have spent enough of my life driving (30 years), cars and trucks to know that the problems are on the roads and that is where your attention should be. The small convenience feature of automatic high beam should be illegal. When driving on the highway at night, the car will not always detect oncoming cars and vlimd other drivers. I have had that happen to me and people have flashed me until I realized that was happening with own car too. It is a dumb idea. If you need your car to tell you when to turn on high beams, you should not be driving at night. I have a lot of small issues but they build to a lot of frustration. I drive over 200 km each day so the issues are in my face. I will also note, this is why it is isn’t 0 stars, that the fuel efficiency is great. For a commuter car it is needed. I would say that it would be even more efficient if it didn’t have the safety package draining electricity. I do like the eco option for fuel efficiency as most of my commute is highway driving. I also find that there is excellent space in front for two adults. I am tall I am comfortable in my seat. However my passenger behind me isn’t. I accept that space issue as it is a compact car. Just don’t tell me it seats 4 comfortably. Just two will be comfortable. Trunk space is a good size and I can fit most everything I take with me in there. Take off power is good(when the idle off is disengaged). The car also handles fairly well in the snow with its low profile. That was something stellar about my previous Civics In that I never got stuck in snow when I saw people with 4 wheel drive having problems. At this point, I will not be buying another Honda as many of the issues I have(safety features that don’t work properly and distracting features like the console messaging set up) is the same across all Hondas. It seems they have changed their focus from being a simple reliable car to being that tries (and fails) todo a bit of everything. I feel like it is designed by engineers looking to pack as many cool and neat gadgets into the car and straying away from the practical aspects of driving. The features that I like of This Civic are found in other manufacturers and once this lease is up, I will be going elsewhere. Maybe Honda will improve with the 12th generation but I doubt it. Best car in Canada for 2022, not for me based on actual driving.

Smooth ride, but I wish it did not have the "considerable road noise" issue. Very annoying on older streets and roads.

Electrical issue

I love the new Civic, but within days, I noticed that the buttons on the dash don’t light up, and my speakers only work on the right side most of the time. When I use the phone there’s a lot of static.

2022 Civic “Touring” - Totally Amazing new design

With gasoline prices soaring and scarcity of new car inventory, I was fortunate enough to locate ONE new Civic Touring Edition at a dealer 70 miles away. The Touring Edition is LOADED with fantastic features, an entirely futuristic interior design, exceptionally comfortable leather seats, and a longer wheelbase making it very close to Accord size in appearance! All of this listing for $29,000! I love finding an excuse to drive it someplace as it’s FUN and SPORTY and has settled in at a steady 39.5 mpg! UPDATE: I got the 2022 Civic Touring on Oct 11, 2021 and to date have happily driven it just short of 23,000 miles. The unexpected smoothness, highly appreciated quality, modern interior design, surprising power coupled with the consistent 39.8 mpg has been a TOTAL pleasure for me! It has every safety gadget you could ask for and has the comfort of a luxury sedan and the feel of a sports car! I suggest, if you can find one, to pay the difference for the Touring version as it is absolutely a different car from the other versions! Not ONE issue or disappointment after nearly 16 months of enjoyment!

Remote start works but no accessories

Remote start starts the car but that's all, all accessories don't. Means no heat, no ac, no radio. Nothing. Went back to dealership and they ran all kinds of diagnostics and nothing. So now they made a tech ticket, to see if others are having issues. Their other 2 new cars in lot are doing the same thing!! Otherwise I love my red 2022 civic.

Great car but lacking in some areas

This is a nice little car. The exterior is super sporty on the Sport trim. Handles very good too. On the inside is where Honda needs to step it up. The user interface is light years behind what other companies offer. Also the rear seating has nothing to assist a person in the modern age. No cup holders, no phone chargers. Really unacceptable to me for a model year 2022 to not have USB ports,12v or Lightning ports. Honda should be ashamed.
