2026 Honda Civic review
Honda Civic: a class leader on the details. Illustrative review
8.8/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Honda Civic sits near the top of its class. Easy infotainment with phone mirroring; comfortable front seats on long trips. Road noise on coarse pavement and base engine feels adequate, not quick, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $26,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

The fuel economy is the standout. My only gripe is road noise on the highway, which I knew going in.
