2015 Honda Civic Inexpensive Small Car With Powerful Engine Review

The 2015 Honda Civic sedan and coupe are a couple of the best-famous compact cars distributed in the U.S. From the moment the first Civic went retailed well over 40 years ago, the car has reflected its age--and the last iteration of the Civic got many changes throughout the last two years to put it connected with the market. While the base car is now in its fourth year, that which you see on showroom floors is just only in its third year, after quick and fairly progressive updating of the low priced, grim, feature-poor 2012 redesign.

Reviewers study that the base 2015 Civic's four-cylinder engine offers significant power. It will come standard with a five-speed manual transmission; reviewers appreciate the at hand automatic transmission for its fluid shifts and responsiveness. The Civic offers perfect fuel economy for the class, with the base product getting up to an EPA-expected 30/39 mpg city/highway. The 2015 Civic Si features a more powerful four-cylinder engine and a six-speed manual transmission.

The 2015 Honda Civic is available standard with stability control, side-curtain airbags, front-side airbags, a rearview camera and then 4-wheel anti-lock brakes. EX and EX-L versions also feature Honda's LaneWatch blind spot monitoring system, while the Civic Hybrid contains forward-collision warning and lane-departure warning systems. In government testing, the Civic achieved five overall stars -- a record based on 4-star ratings on frontal and rollover tests and a 5-star rating in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's side-impact review.

The Civic remains among the best-equipped and priciest small cars out there. Even the LX coupe, which is the most economical trim you can purchase, starts around $19,000 with destination. From the Corolla and Kia Forte to the Jetta and Mazda3, many popular competitors start off less costly — many by thousands. Still, Honda offers sufficient standard features that base versions should match most shoppers.
