2019 Honda Civic Reviews SummaryThe tenth-generation Civic has been out since 2016, and for 2019, Honda makes only minor tweaks to this compact car's winning formula of style, value, and performance. Lots of cars are good these days, but the Civic has been consistently good for more than 45 years. This is a car that drives and feels like a more expensive car, and whether you choose a sedan, coupe, or hatchback body styles among four engines and two transmissions—hooray for variety—the Civic rewards you. The 2019 model reminds us why. | |
