TCC’s Bottom Line

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

The 2019 Toyota Corolla is a fun choice as a hatchback, but we’d skip the sedan in favor of its competitors.

Terrific ride and handling
Thrilling turbo engines

Entertaining hatchback
Spacious hatchback

TCC Dislikes

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

Outdated sedan
CarPlay only on hatch
