How it scores for you10 scores
A frugal, top-safety compact with an engaging chassis, undercut by a flood of steering complaints, tight cargo, and zero towing capability.
Recalled about as often as cars of the same model years; 2 of its 7 recalls were serious. About 5% of its owner complaints describe a crash, fire or injury. Based on recalls and serious defect reports — it doesn't capture everyday repairs or problems fixed by warranty extensions. Adjusted +4 points for its wider reputation.
5-star overall NHTSA crash rating (frontal 4, side 5, rollover 5).
About $1,350 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 86% of cars we track.
14.8 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 27% of other sedans we track.
Roomy for a compact sedan with good rear legroom; 14.8 cu ft trunk is competitive. Above-average interior space for its class.
Civic is praised for sharp handling and engaging chassis, above segment norms. Hybrid adds torque, but 158 hp and FWD-only keep it fun-to-drive rather than thrilling.
11th-gen Civic offers a clean modern interior, available digital cluster, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and Honda Sensing safety suite—solidly above compact-segment average.
Well-regarded ride quality and quiet cabin for a compact, with supportive seats. Comfortable but not luxury-level, slightly above segment typical.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
