You don’t mind driving the antithesis of vehicular beauty. But while the rear seat is decent, it’s not sufficiently practical for your lifestyle. The Civic coupe, meanwhile, is undeniably the most stylish member of the trio. In Canada, with the Civic lineup accounting for 10% of all passenger car sales, do you really need to drive the Civic that everyone else already drives? After the sedan and coupe, both Canadian-built, this hatchback makes its way over from Honda’s Swindon, England, assembly plant with the 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder upgrade as standard equipment and more backside birthmarks than a mother could tolerate.įorget the sedan. Lane-keeping assist is bundled as well and it works phenomenally, keeping the Civic locked between the lines and never sawing at the wheel or acting weird when lane markers come or go.For the 2017 model year, Honda has added a third bodystyle to the tenth-generation Civic lineup. A multi-angle backup camera with dynamic guidelines is included, too, though the image it provides is embarrassingly grainy, as bad as what you get in some Toyotas.

Autonomous emergency braking, road-departure mitigation, automatic high beams and traffic-sign recognition are standard across the Civic Hatchback range, as is adaptive cruise control, though traffic jam assist is not included on cars fitted with the manual transmission, ditto for low-speed follow functionality.

Honda is always generous with advanced driver aids and that's no exception here. Even if it's not intrusive, wind and tire ruckus are more pronounced than I'd like. About the only complaint I have with the way this new Civic drives has to do with noise. Initially, the brake pedal feels way too grabby, but you quickly adapt to its enthusiasm. The steering is about as nice as you can expect from an electrically boosted setup, with crisp turn-in and excellent weighting. The ride is definitely firm yet still manages to flirt with luxury as it's nearly free of grittiness or harshness. With a lower-friction front suspension, an updated steering rack, slightly stiffer springs, different dampers and massaged stabilizer bars all working in conjunction with that more-rigid structure, the car carries itself with confidence and swagger. Retuned and refined, the 2022 Civic Hatchback drives exceptionally well. A skosh more heft would make it just about perfect. The hatchback's clutch is likewise agreeable, with a generous stroke length and easy engagement range, though the pedal is too light for my taste. The shifter is pleasant enough, with short throws and well-defined gates, though it feels a bit stiff and plasticky, nowhere near as nice as the Civic Type R's sublime gear selector. The manual transmission works well and is hands-down my choice, making this car orders of magnitude more fun to drive. Honda estimates the three-pedal offering will account for between 8% and 10% of hatch sales, a not-insignificant amount.

Giving drivers more choice, both engines can be matched with a spicy six-speed manual. Like other CVTs, it maximizes performance and fuel economy while being about as exciting as a slice of plain white bread. The mainstream option is a continuously variable transmission, and it's perfectly fine for mass consumption. Matching its two engines, a duet of gearboxes is offered in the Civic Hatch.
