Zach Doell, with US News and World Report, wrote, The Honda Civic has traditionally been a good buy if you want an affordable, fuel-efficient and dependable compact car. This latest generation, however, elevates the Civic from safe bet to a truly desirable choice. I rented a Civic Sport sedan on Turo for this evaluation, and I found it to be a pleasure to drive, with spry handling, an upscale cabin and admirable fuel economy. It is a family-friendly sedan that doesnt feel like a cheap conveyance, and apart from the similarly posh Mazda3, I think the Civic stands a cut above rivals like the Toyota Corolla, Nissan Sentra and Hyundai Elantra.
