I have the touring edition with all the bells and whistles. This top of the line car really boasts quality, the chrome touches and unique front end really makes it stand out. If you drive it in sport it drives really well along with great gas mileage. The ten speaker 452 watt sounds great, wish the subwoofer was larger but if you tune it well most songs sound good. The touring exterior really looks sharp, it looks different from the lower models.

The Ever-Expanding Civic

This car is the whole package: fun to drive, excellent handling, braking & steering, and a great throttle response (with the 1.5 turbo). Plus it comes with a slew of Honda safety features. It is a remarkable upgrade from my 2013 Civic. I hope that over the years, it will have the same reliability.

2021 Honda Civic review: Our expert's take

By Jennifer Geiger

The verdict: There are a bunch of reasons why the Honda Civic routinely tops compact-car sales charts — comfort and value among them — and the Civic hatchback adds utility to the list.

Versus the competition: It out-handles many in its class and adds better fuel economy and more cargo room.

Honda’s Civic small car is available in sedan, coupe and hatchback body styles; this review covers the hatchback version, which entered the lineup for 2017. For 2020, it gets some more aggressive front and rear styling, as well as additional convenience features.

The Civic competes against other hatchbacks in the compact class, such as the Mazda3, Subaru Impreza and Toyota Corolla. See them compared.
