TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze gains some good content, but its advanced safety tech should be more accessible.

Safety upgrades this year make the 2019 Honda Civic as compelling as ever.

TCC Likes

Versatile sedan, hatchback bodystyles
Good standard infotainment
Compelling turbodiesel option

Great value for the money
Terrific ride and handling
Thrilling turbo engines

TCC Dislikes

New look is hardly exciting
Automatic emergency braking only on range-topper
Price escalates with options

Styling an acquired taste on some models
Base engine just average
Civic Si could use more power
