The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
7.8
8.2
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2015 Honda Civic is refined, comfortable, and offers top-notch safety ratings and features. Snappy sheetmetal and smart packaging puts the 2015 Hyundai Elantra on most must-drive lists, though it's not as engaging to drive as some compact sedans.
