Honda Civic owners have been among the most loyal to their brand for many years, much like enthusiasts of Jeep and Subaru. Give them a minute and Civic folks will chatter about its reliability, fuel economy and value.
The popular compact sedan — the top seller in its segment — has been redesigned inside and out for 2022 and that is likely to bolster the loyalty. The 11th-generation Civic has a longer and sleeker body, improved handling traits and a more refined cabin with upgraded technology.
About the only thing the Japanese carmaker left unchanged are the two powertrains from last year, a 2.0-liter four and a turbocharged 1.5-liter, both paired with a CVT (continuously variable transmission). Oh, and Honda dropped the manual tranny from the sedan; only the hatchback can get the 6-speed manual.
