Driving to work each day should give you a little bit of enjoyment. You can find that with the 2021 Honda Civic, which continues the years of quality and reliability that drivers have come to know. With its model choices, fuel economy, and deft engine and handling, it has been and remains the best commuter car you can buy.
Basics About the 2021 Honda Civic 
The Civic has seven trim levels to choose from: the base model LX sedan, the Sport Sedan, the EX sedan, the EX-L sedan, the Touring sedan, and the Sport Touring Hatchback. The LX sedan gives you a 4 cylinder 2.0-liter 158 horsepower engine, while the Sport hatchback comes with a 4 cylinder turbo 1.5-liter engine with 180 horsepower. The Sport comes with an optional manual transmission and all models come in sedan or hatchback.
Pricing
Affordability has always been one of the Civic’s strong points and with the LX starting at $22,245, it remains that way. Even on the base model, you are still getting a 158 horsepower engine with a fuel economy of 30 mpg city and 38 mpg highway. The top of the line Sport Touring Hatchback still comes in under $30,000 and for that price, you are getting 180 horsepower with 29 mpg city and 35 mpg highway.
Engine and Fuel Economy
Your commute could not be more affordable driving the Honda Civic. With its 158 horsepower 2.0 four-cylinder engine you will get 30 mpg driving in the city and 38 mpg driving on the highway. You won’t see much difference if you opt for the 180 horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine. That still gives you a very efficient 29 mpg with city driving and 35 mpg driving on the highway.
Praise from Critics
The critics always love the Civic’s reliability and fuel efficiency, but it goes beyond that. Just some of the praise includes Car and Driver rating it a 9.5 out of 10 saying that it has “zesty handling, accommodating cabin.” Motor trend rated it 9.2 out of 10 and #1 in the Compact Car category and called it “simply the best compact sedan you can buy.”
Safety
Not only do you want your commute to be fun, but you also want it to be safe and the Civic will give you that. Safety features include automatic high beams, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. In addition, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Civic perfect scores on all six crashworthiness tests.
Technology
On the fun side of things, technology includes a 5.0-inch infotainment system on the LX. On higher trims from the EX and above, you get a 7.0 touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto options, and available SiriusXM satellite radio. For the Touring models, you’ll get navigation and a 10-speaker audio system.
