Overview: The 2019 Honda Civic epitomizes compact-car excellence with its mix of practicality and a fun-to-drive personality. The versatile 2019 Civic has a version for everyone; its lineup includes a two-door coupe as well as a four-door sedan and hatchback. It's available with two excellent four-cylinder engines and either an adroit continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) or a slick-shifting six-speed manual. Buyers seeking practicality don't need a crossover, nor do those seeking sportiness need to buy a sports car: the 2019 Honda Civic Sport does both at an affordable price. It's so good, we named it to one of our 10Best Cars along with the Civic Si and the Type R. While the affable compact isn't perfect, it excels everywhere else and ranks near the top of its class.
What's New for 2019?
The 2019 Civic lineup receives a slew of changes that range from mild styling tweaks, new standard features, and spreading the Sport moniker to the coupe and sedan. Perhaps the most underappreciated update is the volume knob and hard buttons that are added to the touchscreen, which was previously a source of frustration. Otherwise, the sedan and coupe have cleaner front-end designs and newly standard driver-assistance equipment. While both body styles are now available in Sport trim, only the hatchback version has the 180-hp four-cylinder with an extra 22 horsepower. Still, the Sport coupe and sedan have the same blacked-out appearance and stiffer suspension tuning. Inside, all Civic models have larger cupholders, redesigned steering-wheel controls, and better sound insulation. New exterior colors include Platinum White Pearl, Lava Pearl, and Tonic Yellow Pearl.
The 2019 Civic lineup spreads three body styles among various models. The multitalented Sport version is our pick, with its dark exterior trimming and sharper handling that help optimize the fun factor. We'd stick with the standard six-speed manual transmission versus the optional CVT. The hatchback version is not only more practical than the sedan and coupe, it also has the more powerful 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, and only costs a little extra. Every Sport model includes a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic climate control, and 18-inch wheels.
