Default Honda Civic Hatchback

The long awaited return of the Honda Civic Hatchback in America is here:



The Mazda3 should be a little worried. That’s because the new Honda Civic happens to finally be good again, and this morning Honda unveiled what is undoubtedly the best version of it yet: the 2017 Civic Hatchback. It can be had with a turbo. And a manual!
Unlike those other body styles, the Civic Hatchback gets just one engine option, but it’s the good one: the 1.5-liter turbo four putting out 174 horsepower and 162 lb.-ft. of torque; that gets bumped to 180 HP in the Sport and an all-new Sport Touring trim.

It can also be had with Honda’s CVT, which as far as CVTs go is not that terrible, but why do that to yourself when the other option is a six-speed manual? I’m gonna tell you right now to buy that one instead.

That's a wagon not a hatchback.

I am not a fan of the exterior styling on the coupe/sedan, but I think it works much better on the hatchback. It is a little overly aggressive for my tastes, but its growing on me.

I think they went through the rubbish heap outside Subaru and took all the ideas that were even too ugly for them and heaped them into one car. Sorry, this thing looks awful.

Good thing HONDA has a great reputation for reliability, because people sure aren't buying their vehicles based on looks...
