The challenge with the Civic is not the car itself but Honda dealerships. Here in the northeastern US, many dealerships charge a premium over MSRP. Spring 2022, a family member wanted to buy the SI, there was a premium over MSRP. Same thing with the manual Touring hatchback. She found a great deal on a Mazda 3 Premium, black with red interior, with the manual transmission. Now she's grateful that those Honda dealerships drove her away.

Same situation here. May 2022 went to Honda for a sport hatchback and they wanted $629 per month w 3000 down for a civic. Went to Mercedes not even 5 mins later and got quoted $628 with 3,000 down for a well equipped c300. $1 cheaper I was laughing. Didn’t end up purchasing anything because I wasn’t in dire need of another car, just wanted it to be a strictly commuter car, but I ended up using my Mazda as a daily and commuter.

I bought a brand new 2023 Honda Civic Touring sedan in January 2023. MSRP was $31.6K USD and they tried charging me $4K additional dealer markup. Ha ha! I said no. They ended up charging me MSRP but with taxes, fees, etc., it ended up being $35K OTD. Definitely pricey for a Civic, but I desperately needed a new car (I’d been driving my ‘02 Civic LX for 18 years). The new Civics are really beautiful. I’m super happy with mine.

I can chime in on GTI ownership. I currently still own my 2015 MK7 GTI DCT in black. It has been my daily since I bought it with 5 miles on it. I am currently at 260k miles and still running strong. All I have done is regular maintenance such as oil changes, transmission fluid changes, Spark Plugs, FIlters, etc. I am just now about to do the water pump/thermostat change which is way past the expected mileage. Every GTI owner will eventually have to do this as it is a common problem. Otherwise my car has been super reliable and fun to drive everday and on long trips. I also have a tune since 70k miles and never had any issues. Cheers!!!

Proud owner of a 22 sport touring hatchback with 6mt, same colour as in the review. I've received so many compliments about the car from friends and colleagues that own BMWs and Audis etc. It is also the global body style of the civic in europe and asia where it competes well against entry-level german competitors (1 ser, a3, a class) It is a great all rounder that provides me all the latest tech features that I would want while sipping 87 octane regular gas and cruising at 130kph on the 407 effortlessly all while letting me row my own gears. Also handles itself very well up to 70-80% of the limit and has an unflappable ride quality for this class. Its space is great for those unexpected IKEA AS-IS finds and has a backseat where I can put people I actually like. Yes its more expensive but also feels more exclusive within the Honda line up, i think i see 1 hatchback for every 10+ sedans where I am and less so the sport touring with 6MT. If you want value, stick to the sedan. It has replaced the Accord Sport as the go-to attainable fun to drive 99% capacity car, for around $35k msrp. My only issues with the car is the auto-stop start on by default ( should not be like this on a manual car) and the lack of driver lumbar support.

I like Honda Civics. In the mid-90s I bought a very well used first gen CRX as a 2nd car, I absolutely loved it. It was an upgrade from my 1979 cream coloured VW Rabbit diesel - which I thought looked like a first gen GTI… it didn’t. What I really wanted was a new(er) Honda Civic 2-door hatchback. But I could not afford one (closer to $15,000 vs $600!). Now that I’m a well established married man of many years… I still cannot find myself affording one at nearly $40,000! I suppose the more things change, the more things remain the same. So nowadays… I’d just buy a slightly used GTI and enjoy a splendid holiday with the difference (Portugal?). Thanks for the video.

I like my 22 Civic Touring when you get in the car for the first time you instantly know where everything is and how it works. The mess treatment on the dash is attractive but the gloss black trim is a dust collector and sometimes with the sunroof open the sun can glare off it. Reliability has been good but the climate control system had to be replaced at less than 3,000 miles. If you like black interiors that will be the case in most Honda vehicles . Hopefully the hybrid will be on sale soon Honda said it would be available after the CR-V/Accord. In normal driving conditions you will hardly notice the CVT.

Civic is still a great car. Its just Honda needs to offer base LX trim on all of its models. Cause its not everyone need an EX or Sport, LX is what most consumers wanted. That's why Toyota's LE trim, which can added option package, is a more viable marketing decision. I have a 2018 Civic Sport hatchback. My parents drive a 2019 Civic LX sedan. The LX got everything they really wanted and needed. They even find some of the features redundant in my Sport.

Realistically for rear passenger space, the front passenger seat should be adjusted so the person behind can get more leg room. Nobody in their right mind would set the seat all the way back. I was at the Toronto auto show earlier this year and found these cars with the worst rear room. Toyota Corolla Hatchback and Lexus UDX. Small CUVs like the Kona, Seltos and Kicks were even pretty spacious back there. I am 5'7 so not very tall also. The Corolla Cross with my driving position had more room for the rear despite many reviews showing it looked pretty tight back there. For someone 7 feet tall yes but you should be looking for larger vehicle. Happy trails.

I came in again to ponder and they had both washed up out front for me, which is a bad sign. So I said that I won't choose as what does it matter if I cannot afford it. So put in what should have been a reasonable offer and figured take it or not - if you were transparent it should be an okay we can live with that acceptance - but it just hit me - the black hides the grill and black wheels and a lot of the lines (I decided not to look at them as EVERY OTHER BRAND would go after the looks - please so confusing, overdone, vanilla look runs zero risk of ever going out of style - imagine saying that to a date right!).

This basically means I'll never be a Honda customer again. It's a shame because my first car was a 91 civic hatchback and it was a peppy little car, fun to drive. I'm loving my mid trim 2018 Elantra. Hasn't given me any issues and runs as smooth as the day I drove it off the lot 40K kms later. I realize I don't drive much but I have nothing but good things to say about the brand. I loved it so much that I convinced the wife to get a 2020 Venue. No regrets, we got good, reliable commuters with plenty of tech for well under 30K CAD all in. Brand new cars. Hyndai, Kia, Ford and Chevy all make affordable cars for the working class, and they can be reliable if maintained well, just like any brand (yes, I realize there are lemons and some brand have more than others, but the odds of getting a good car are still in your favour). If you're all about value for money like me, Honda is no longer a brand to consider in Canada. With the way the cost of living is increasing, affordability is a major selling point. They'll probably never be the best selling car here again.

All the Civics are made here 100%, consumers buy them not leasing companies or corporations, that’s why Toyota sales are so high, taxis and rental companies. I’m on my 3rd CR-V. I’ve also bought Toyota and Hyundai. The thing about Honda is, maintenance… I’m constantly being asked to bring in my car for maintenance after the minmum mileage, not with maintenance minder. On average I get maintenance once a year with Honda, 2x per year with Toyota and Hyundai. Cost of Ownership is very low with Honda. My current CR-V is at about 75,000km, still on stock tires (although I did buy Winter Tires) and very minimal brake work. So yeah, I get that prices are going up and you could get a cheaper car than a Honda but the Cost of Ownership is so good with Honda… and they are built by Candians for Canadians. Interesting too that when there is a recall or engine issue, Canadians seem to be the 1st one to get their cars fixed. If you live in Canada buying a Honda has a lot of benefits

I would steer away from the MK8 GTI. The capacitive panel and integration of climate controls into a touchscreen make for an unergonomical interior. Even if the Civic's interior isn't as flashy, it is much better than the GTI's due to ergonomics

To answer your dilemma, remember what Henry Ford is known for saying: "Big cars...Big profits!" And "big" is defined by dimension and "toys on board".

Well...prices have gone up everywhere. A GTI for me down here is around 50k.. not the R or Autobahn... So comparing this with a GTI makes no sense for me. The EXL goes for around 35k.

I disagree with Honda being known for reliability. They have had major issues the last 7 years. They were down at the bottom with VW on the JD Power list. Like Zach I also can't stand a CVT. I will take my chances with a GTI lol.

The Kia Forte 5 seems very similar in size and of course, way cheaper. Any speculation on why Honda has raised the prices so high?

Partly reason for the increase is the dropping of their base model which is DX. Now LX is their base model which of course raises their price along with inflation

No wonder Honda is loosing business in Canada. The Execs are on drugs.. LOL. the hatchback manual a couple years was 38.500 Canadian . I could get a Mazda Cx-5 for 34,500. I predict the Honda and Toyota will go loose market share in a few years. Toyota is also charging dealers fee in Canada. Also Toyota Rav 4 ltd is 47,000 LOL. this is with the normal engine. You can get the CX 5 turbo for 45,000. Some would same reliability.. That was 12 yrs ago. The RAV hybrid has rust problems on the electrical cables that cost 7,000 to fix. Toyota being sued for not covering under warranty. Honda 1.5 turbo has oil dilution problems. The Normal Rav4 has rough shifting tranny issue. 2019 & 2020. I hope consumers do some research. I know people and family members with over 300,000 on cx-5 .. Just today, i received called from someone regarding a 2020 RAV4 XLE with 45,000 km that dealer wanted 39,000.. I send with over to Mazda where is going to buy a New CX5 for 34,000. No Brainer. I am tired of seeing consumers being taking advantage of by dealers, Toyota & Honda. It is funny that Honda CEO saying not sure why we are not selling as much Vehicles. LOL. I will tell you. Stop price gouging and you may see some improvement.
