1. 10th generation (2016-)
The new 2016 Civic is the first Honda since the S2000 to have “it”, that sense of purpose beyond being but a way to get around. It’s not as plainly obvious as it was in the CRX, but it’s undeniably there, if nothing else than an evolved version. Instrumental in that statement is the presence of the all-new turbocharged 1.5L 4-cylinder engine. Despite its smallish displacement, this mill is impressive and highly entertaining.
The 10th-generation Civic is both sharper and more refined than ever. Unsurprisingly, our colleague Matt St-Pierre loved every moment at the wheel of this car.
