Before you sign for the Civic

NHTSA has 161 owner complaints on file, mostly about steering, forward collision avoidance and electrical system. NHTSA lists 4 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

Under the hood

The 1.5L 4-cylinder turbo does the work, through an automatic (CVT). The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 21 litres, from its 6.9 L/100 km rating. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $32.10 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$1,950 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Who the Civic suits

It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

How big it is

It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. Luggage space is rated at 736 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.

Rent it for a week first

A test week in the Civic tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the Civic answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

Which one to look for

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Compare the Touring with the other trims of the same year before you decide.

What it costs to run

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $10.70 in fuel.
