Reviews SummaryFew cars can put a smile on your face when driving and making the monthly payment like a 2024 Civic can. That’s especially true when it comes to the hatchback version, which adds significant utility and an available manual transmission to the mix. Last redesigned for 2022, the Civic hasn’t seen any major changes since then. But next year, the 2025 Civic Hybrid arrives in both hatch and sedan flavours. We’re big fans of the 2024 Honda Civic. Unless you want all-wheel drive, you can’t go wrong with this excellent compact car. It’s practical and safe, affordable yet first-rate, and thanks to its turbocharged engine is a blast to drive. Instead of getting a small SUV like everyone else, strongly consider a Civic Hatchback instead. | |
Reviews SummaryWhen we think Civic, our minds don’t instinctively leap toward the Type R. This isn’t a commuter special priced for newly minted drivers and aimed at sensible manners and good fuel economy. Driving the Type R is something else entirely: bombastic, fast, and an instantly memorable experience. With more power and performance, the new 2023 Honda Civic Type R provides a more exhilarating driving experience than ever before. | |
