2015 Honda Civic LX

The 2015 Civic is a compact sedan and coupe that takes on the Corolla, Sentra, and Mazda3 in the crowded small-car class. The Civic drives with light, precise steering and a composed ride, making it easy to maneuver in town and on the highway. Inside, the Civic's cabin is roomy for its class, with a modern dashboard and available features like leather and a moonroof. Some owners mention the rear window limits visibility when backing up, so the available camera is worth having. The LX is the no-frills pick for buyers who want a new Civic without the extras; stepping up to the EX adds a moonroof and a better audio system. Its 1.8L I4 makes 143 horsepower and pairs with a five-speed automatic, delivering 31 mpg combined in real-world driving.
