The current generation of Honda Civic is ending its lifecycle with the 2015 model year, but the accumulation of tweaks to the existing platform have made the compact car a lot more impressive. The 2015 Civic offers a comfortable ride, a spacious interior, and high safety ratings. And like a lot of compact cars, the Civic has seen a trickle-down of technology like keyless entry and ignition, smartphone connectivity, and Honda's innovative LaneWatch blind spot camera system. It's held back from greatness by a frustrating infotainment interface on higher trim levels, but overall, the 2015 Honda Civic EX-L Sedan is a strong return to form after a disappointing 2013 model year redesign.

How Much?
The 2015 Honda CivicSEE IT comes in seven different versions, each with its own trim levels. We tested the four-door sedan variation, with trim levels including the LX, which starts at $18,490, the SE at $19,990, the EX at $21,190, and the EX-L at $22,840. We tested the top-of-the-line EX-L with Navigation that came fully loaded at a base price of $24,340. After adding a destination charge of $790, the vehicle had a final sticker price of $25,130.
