The Best in Class Just Got Better

When the current generation Honda Civic was chosen as our Best Buy among small cars two years ago, the universal opinion was that it delivered roominess, high-quality materials, and features expected from a class-above vehicle. None of that has changed. In fact, Honda has stepped up its game with a 2019 refresh that not only addresses some of our niggling points about the car (hello, volume knob on the infotainment system), but also takes into consideration larger issues like making the Honda Sensing suite of driver assists standard across the board. Taking these upgrades and adding them to Honda’s reputation for durability, reliability, high resale and low cost of operation, it’s easy to see why the Civic is back for the fifth time as our Compact Car Best Buy Award winner.
