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.

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.

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.

Would be Perfect with different Tires

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.
