A frugal, roomy, top-safety compact hatch with crisp handling, though modest 158 hp and recurring steering complaints temper the appeal.
Recalled about half as often as cars of the same model years; 1 of its 3 recalls was 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 $1,400 a year in fuel (EPA estimate) — cheaper to run than about 86% of cars we track.
24.5 cu ft of cargo space — more than about 84% of other hatchbacks we track.
Roomy for a compact; seats 5 with generous rear legroom and 24.5 cu ft cargo (42.3 folded), among the more practical in its segment.
Civic hatchback has crisp handling and a well-sorted chassis praised by reviewers; 158 hp is adequate but not quick, and FWD-only. Manual availability adds engagement in some trims.
11th-gen Civic offers a clean, modern interior with available larger touchscreen, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, and Honda Sensing safety suite—solid but not class-leading in gadgetry.
Compliant ride, quiet cabin for the class, and supportive seats give the Civic above-average comfort for a compact hatch.
SUVs and hybrids usually hold their value better than average.
No published tow rating; front- or rear-wheel drive only.
