Things we like	Striking Design – The Honda Civic’s sleek coupe-like styling and luxury sedan elements make it a real head-turner. Modern & Feature-Rich Interior – While not as futuristic as its eighth-gen predecessor, the tenth-gen Civic offers a well-equipped and comfortable cabin. VTEC Power & Performance – Retaining the 1.8L engine, the Civic also gets an optional 1.5L turbocharged petrol unit, delivering power akin to a 2.4L engine.

Things we don't like	Cramped Rear Cabin – Despite a spacious feel, rear legroom is decent at best, and headroom is limited due to the sloping roofline. CVT Dulls the Drive – The 1.8L engine delivers good power, but the CVT’s rubber-band effect reduces driving excitement. Paddle Shifters Help – While not a complete fix, paddle shifters add some engagement to the driving experience. Read More	Dated interior cabin Read More
