Honda Civic Hatchback vs. Kia K4 Hatchback: Which Small Hatch Is Best?

Love how these car reviewers review so many cars they don't even pay attention to the car they are in. The Kia K4 has physical climate control buttons, for temp, fan speed and mode, you'd never have to touch the screen to operate it, they are right in front of his face and he never even sees them.

Just put Elantra N's powertrain and suspension in K4 hatchback. I will buy it right away.

I need a u-drag to pick.

That K-4 wagon looks dope! Ill take one in manual please.

I had to opportunity to drive both vehicles the Civic Touring has a lot great aspects about the vehicle. But I'm still choosing the K4 all day!

Love my Mazda3 6MT hatchback. Save the manuals!

Where is the K4 hatchback Hybrid and the Sportwagon Hybrid???.

I have the exact same K4 Hatchback in the video and I love it. I think it it gives you the most bang for your buck. I've noticed a few thing no one ever seems to mention in this videos. First everyone complains about the location of the screen for the A/C. What they don't mention is it literally has 3 different options to control it. You have the little screen which everyone complains about, but you can also easily change it to a full 12.3 inch screen. Plus the car still retains physical A/C buttons. The MPG for the K4 also seems to be underestimated as a lot of drivers are getting closer to 40 MPG. While I haven't used sport mode much in my K4, the car has plenty of get up and go in normal mode. I also haven't experienced any turbo lag. That may have been fixed it with a software update. I don't play golf so I don't care if golf clubs fit in it. Also the seats easy fold down and create a massive amount of room. The cargo cover also takes like 2 seconds to remove. Granted it doesn't fold up into a neat little package which doesn't bother me one bit. I also test drove the same Honda Civic Hybrid and it felt like it was lacking in so many ways. I'd recommend anyone looking at these cars to go the drive the K4 and spend some time with it and come to your own conclusions. I still don't think Hybrids are where they should be yet so I'll see what they are like when I go to buy a new car in 10-15 years.

These two cars pack a lot into a small footprint, with plenty of cargo room and passenger room to go around. Are there any other small sedans that you'd like to see get the hatchback (or wagon) treatment? Let us know in the comments below!

I meant to say how come you guys never never mentioned that you can hit the + sign To expand the climate controls to the larger screen.
