Honda Civic EX-L Sedan

2015 Honda Civic sedan

Pros: Availability of sporty coupe body style, Hybrid version, and performance-oriented Si models; build quality; good ride and handling balance

Cons: Lack of standalone options; headroom can be cramped for tall drivers on sunroof-equipped Civics

CG Says: After receiving a raft of updates for 2014 that included a continuously variable transmission (CVT) in place of a traditional automatic, availability of Honda’s LaneWatch side-view camera, and new styling for Civic Coupes, the Civic lineup is little changed for 2015. The only noteworthy update is the addition of an Special Edition (SE) sedan model, which slots in between the LX and EX models in price and content. Civic may not be tops in the compact class at everything, but its strength lies in that it really has no glaring faults. Model choices range from mileage misers to downright sporty, yet all are fun to drive and frugal with fuel. Although Civic is up against a tough group of rival cars–some of which might trump it from a “features per dollar” standpoint–it’s still a compact-car Best Buy.
