2019 Honda Civic Sport

The 2019 Civic is Honda's compact car, offered as a sedan, coupe, or hatchback to suit different tastes. It squares off against the Toyota Corolla, Mazda3, and Volkswagen Golf, with a sportier feel than most. The Civic handles with a crispness that makes daily drives enjoyable, and the available manual gearbox adds engagement. Inside, the cabin feels well-built for the class, with a modern dashboard and generous rear legroom for a compact. Stepping up to the Sport from the LX adds 18-inch gloss-black wheels, fog lights, a decklid spoiler, and a center-outlet exhaust for a sharper look. The 2.0L I4 makes 158 horsepower and 138 lb-ft of torque, and the standard six-speed manual lets you row your own gears with a positive shift action. The Sport gets a unique suspension tune with stiffer dampers and a thicker front bar, so it corners flatter than the LX or EX without a harsh ride.
