2019 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
Just know going into buying the sport model that if you want any get up and go on the freeway you will have to get one of the turbocharged engines. The 2.0 liter engine I think is the most reliable but does suffer from inferior horsepower and "okay" fuel economy. Apart from that I LOVE everything else about the car. The manual transmission is so slick and the VOLUME KNOB is thankfully … back where it belongs. Overall a great car for just about anyone. Still would like to see an updated infotainment like what is in the current gen Honda Accord.

2019 Honda Civic Sport 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6M)
I’ve ridden motorcycles for 30 some years but decided to sell my bike and call it quits before I get ran over. I feel lucky I was able to ride that long without a serious incident. I still want something exciting to drive and shift my own gears but I wanted something reliable also. I chose the naturally aspirated 6 speed manual Civic for all of these reasons. I’m nearly 50 and I’ve been … around cars and motorcycles all of my life and in my experience I know that turbo engines and automatic transmissions don’t have the longevity of their opposites. The Civic is light and athletic and handles extremely well. It’s a slow car that can be driven fast if you know what I mean. I keep it in my garage and will not drive it when roads are salted as I want to preserve it as long as I can and teach my youngest son to drive a manual with as I did my oldest who still owns the Mazda 2 5speed I bought him to learn to drive brand new in 2011. Learning to drive with a manual definitely gives you driving skills you’ll never know if you didn’t. Anyway I love this little Honda for what it is and I think you will too.

Which Civic does Edmunds recommend?
The Civic is at its best with the turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. We like it because, in addition to being more powerful than the base 2.0-liter engine, it provides a significant boost in fuel economy and generally improves the driving experience. You can get it starting with the EX trim level.
Full Edmunds Review: 2019 Honda Civic Sedan
Driving
8.5The optional 1.5-liter turbo-four is unusual in its sound and power delivery for a Honda engine, but it offers excellent power and fuel economy. It's worth the extra money. All around, the Civic's driving performance is top-notch, with strong brakes and accurate steering.
Comfort
8.5The Civic has a lot of the midsize Accord's strengths but in a smaller package. The seats are comfortable and supportive, and the ride is steady and well-controlled without being too soft. Road and engine noise is never far away, but the noise is never enough to be distracting.
Interior
8.0The Civic delivers a spacious and versatile cabin for both people and their things, with good rear legroom and clever storage solutions. The interior control layout is easy to use, especially with the new revisions to the infotainment interface. Additional hard buttons for the climate and audio controls solve some of our issues with the previous system. However, the touchscreen interface is still slow and a little confusing.
Utility
8.5The Civic features a spacious trunk and clever interior storage solutions. You'll have no problem fitting large bags in back or finding a spot for your personal effects in the cabin. The roomy back seat also makes it easy to load a car seat.
Technology
Tech was one of the Civic's weaknesses, but the 2019 model has received an updated infotainment system that should help solve most issues. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are many of Honda's safety systems.
