The car is fun and sporty to drive. If I need to pass someone or pick up some speed, I just kick it into sport mode and it takes off. The gas mileage is outstanding! But I’ve had the car is in the shop 3 times now because a back brake sensor is blown. I bought it so I wouldn’t have to be in the shop. I bought the car in June. In October, while I was out of town, the sensor blew the first time. The dashboard with alarms going off…and I’m 2 hours from home. Then it happened again a couple months later and now 2 days ago.

Should be faster than it is. Interior rattles for days. If you can touch a surface, it probably has a rattle. Makes the experience cheap feeling. Passenger door rattles bad from bass so the bose system is useless on anything besides low to med volume. Steering wheel sticks and is a major safety issue. I can't fathom how honda didn't test the steering in this car. Car pulls timing bad in summer. You will get one pull in one gear. The next gear you might have to wait 2-3 seconds for boost again. Handling is great and fuel economy is also great. Shifter feels great even though 2nd can be notchy and grind sometimes. Rev hang is still there and still annoying. Should be the most reliable sport compact but has a lot of issues. A decent buy at MSRP but a lot of issues and a cheap sounding interior dampens the experience.

So near perfect, yet so far from perfect

Bear in mind, I am reviewing the 2022 Touring Civic and all the equipment that comes with it. This is my fourth Civic since 2013, I'm very familiar with this car. Exterior Styling: a very attractive vehicle. Mine is black and when clean it is almost a head turner. Put the four AUDI Os on the front and no one would know. Honda has turned the Civic into a beautiful car. The alloy wheels are also very classy looking. The hood and roofline are almost retro looking due the soft angles and rounded contours. It's as if they were inspired by the designs of vehicles in the 40's. Interior styling: Beautiful to look at. The honeycomb grate running along the dash is genius. The car is still a civic inside, but that grate adds a big dash of panache. It is shiny black plastic which would benefit from an upgrade to, say, a silver metallic brush type of finish. I expect to see it in subsequent iterations of this model. The joystick levers for the vents are very functional and very easy to use. Everything feels solid. Engine. I love it. the three way power switch really does work in a very obvious manner (unlike the old econ and regular which were different, but nothing amazing). In Economy mode, the car has more pep and acceleration than previous civics. The regular mode gives a quite noticeable power boost. The sport mode is fantastic for zipping onto a highway or moving past someone in a hurry. Brakes: excellent. Handling: Very, very good. The 18" tires have a lot to do with this, but see the problems they help cause, below. The best handling of any civic I've owned. Bose sound system - Fantastic. Sensors: the sensors on this car (approaching vehicle, back up, approaching object, etc.) are excellent. Better than on my Subaru outback--which is very good. Gas Mileage- Amazing. I easily get into the 40 MPH realm on the highway. More aggressive driving will diminish, but the MPG on this Civic is the best yet. NOW, HERE ARE THE PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE BIG Lumbar support - remember, this is supposedly a "Touring" model. Lumbar support is virtually non-existent. It is hard to understand how Honda missed this as it takes about twenty minutes of driving to realize the problem. It's hard to do any real "touring" when the back support is so poor. I'm going to buy a separate lumbar pillow. Inexcusable, Honda. Cabin noise - this "touring" vehicle is one of the noisiest cabins I've ever been in; not due to wind noise, but road noise. It is so prominent that on most highways the voice controls won't work properly--the noise interferes with your commands! And this isn't due solely to the 18" tires--the cabin obviously needs some serious noise dampening if this is going to be a "touring" model. I dread this winter when I have to put on snow tires. Seating - The buckets are very "tight"--not very comfortable, although the lumbar issue may exaggerate this. The front driver seat should be able to go about 1" higher. It sits too low at it's highest point so I'm constantly adjusting to get a good view of the road. I'm 5'9". Shocks - the shocks on this "touring" model are, well, shocking. They do not absorb jolts well at all. relatively minor bumps will jar the car VERY hard. It's another unforgivable issue with a "touring" model. Electronics - the infotainment screen is maddeningly and unnecessarily confusing. My Subaru outback system is much more user friendly and intuitive. Bottom line: Honda, don't put a "touring" sticker on a car unless you mean it. I know it's just a civic, but, really, the above issues are inexcusable. I would have preferred an EXL model rather than have to upgrade financially to a "touring" model just to get leather and a better sound system. If you want leather you have to pay for a touring model. All in all, an excellent car with glaring and incomprehensible deficits. Is it my favorite civic thus far? I guess so, but a few easy upgrades of serious deficits would have made this car the best car in it's class and even some higher classes. I anticipate that Honda will address these issues in the next few years of this models existence. I wish I would have waited for them to do it.
11th Generation, Best Civic Yet

Traded a 10th Generation Civic EXL for the new redesigned Civic Touring in Platinum White Pearl. I was a little reluctant to trade at first but the new 2022 is such a better car. The 1.5 turbo engine in both feel great, not much difference but the CVT in the 2022 is much more refined. Driving this car is a pleasure. It accelerates briskly and handles the curves like a sports car. The Touring model I chose has all the options the Civic offers. The quality of the leather is better and the seats are much more comfortable than the older model. The BOSE stereo sounds very good and makes the drive even more pleasurable. Unfortunately the Goodyear Eagle tires Honda chose are a bit loud, so loud I replaced them almost immediately which made a big improvement. So far with 1800 miles I'm averaging 35.8 mpg and creeping up a tenth every week while back & forth to work. All the safety feature of the Honda Sensing are a little overwhelming but it's nice to know it's there to help. I really like the blind spot monitoring. Has already got me out of a potential jam once. Something my other Civic didn't have. I looked at the competition. None were the total package like the new Civic. Did I also say I think the new look is a winner.

2022 Honda Civic LX 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl CVT)
31 of 33 people found this review helpful
I recently moved into a Civic LX sedan after driving a 2016 Lexus for 6 years. I am extremely happy with the feature set as well as the fit and finish of the Civic. I expected to be pretty underwhelmed after moving from a car that had an MSRP of over double my new LX but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The handling at everyday driving speeds is more than fair, the steering feels tight and responsive. The ride is much smoother than I anticipated. I wouldn’t take it down winding roads for a joy ride but I don’t think many people that are considering a Civic would. It’s a car that knows what it is, a everyday driver with good fuel economy and a solid set of quality of life features. One negative I noticed is that I think they missed the mark a bit by not including TPMS sensors but at the price point I can’t complain too much. It’s a fairly robust package either way. I'm editing this review now much later to share some problems I have had with this vehicle. The windshield wipers are the most poorly designed thing on the car. I cannot believe the current iteration was allowed to make it out of the design phase. First of all, in order to raise the wipers (Freezing Rain, Cold snowing conditions) you have to put your wipers in "service mode". The consequences of not doing this is damage to the paint on your hood! Ask me how I know! The wipers themselves are hilariously bad. Poor contact to the windshield, a streaky mess. As an added bonus you cannot put on a 3rd party wiper because Honda has graciously given us a proprietary clip so good luck. You get garbage and you will like it. Lastly, mounting the sprayers for the washer fluid on the wipers is an absolute smooth brain move. They freeze, the sprayers get clogged with ice and snow. Its a disaster. The exterior styling is another plus for me as I like the revamped front end, it’s sleek and aggressive compared to older Civic models. The rear of the car could use the same treatment, it’s a bit safe for my tastes styling wise but I wouldn’t call it ugly. Pros: Handling Feature Set (Auto High Beams, Lane Departure, Adaptive Cruise, Blind Spot Detection, Collision Avoidance, Apple Car Play) Exterior Styling Fit and Finish Fuel Economy Cons: No TPMS Inability to default Auto Engine Stop to Off The 2022 Civic LX may not be the cheapest car in its class but I think the combination of sleek modern styling coupled with a robust feature package make me glad I chose it over competitors in its segment.

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)
15 of 16 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.
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!
