Reviews Summary

Reviews Summary

As it previously did for the Accord and the CR-V, Honda has now divided the Civic trim structure by powertrain. This review focuses on the gas-only Civic, offered in LX and Sport trims or as the Civic Si, which we flew to Nashville to test. The Civic Hybrid (offered in Sport or Sport Touring trims) and the Civic Type R are covered as separate models.

Verdict: We absolutely recommend the 2025 Honda Civic Si for driving enthusiasts. For those new to the road and anyone looking for an affordable sedan or hatchback, the base Civic is a great choice.
