The 10th gen Civic is a winner, as long as you avoid the base trim. At least the hatchback body style gets you the 1.5L turbo and a huge-feeling cabin with outstanding cargo capacity and fuel economy. That’s the extent of its benefits. Generally speaking this Civic is a great car to live with. Its ride comfort is excellent for a small car and it feels pretty roomy. The seats feel a tad low though, which when paired with a tall center console/armrest area and high beltline, might give claustrophobic people some pause. It’s a great chassis with controlled and agile handling, though steering is a bit numb. The punch from the 1.5L is lively, but turbo lag makes it feel a bit sluggish off the line sometimes. Passing power is more than adequate though. Visibility is ok, but the rising beltline and huge C pillars aren’t doing the car any favors. Over 3 years and 60k later and reliability has been 100% trouble free. It’s well established that the styling is polarizing. I like it. It’s a huge step forward and gives the car character is rarely has. This concept applies to both the exterior and interior. The beige/black interior combo on my car is ghastly, however. (I wanted a manual trans Sport trim, but couldn’t get one on short notice.) Styling is subjective of course, but what’s objective is the cheapness of this interior. Quite plasticky with F tier door cards. But nary a squeak or rattle to be found inside. As I said before, choose any trim other than the LX and this car is excellent. Later models in the generation did get standard Honda Sensing even with the 6-sp manual, if that helps.
