Sales of the Civic are down due to high prices and the ever-increasing popularity of SUVs, of course. On the plus side, solid build quality and pleasant handling continue to draw people to the Civic. In addition to a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine (158 horsepower) and a turbocharged 1.5-litre mill (180 or 200 horsepower depending on the model), there’s an explosive turbocharged 2.0-litre engine that endows the Civic Type R with 315 horsepower.
