The 2024 Honda Civic Hatchback is where quality, fun, safety, utility, and affordability intersect.

Few cars can put a smile on your face when driving and making the monthly payment like a 2024 Civic can. That’s especially true when it comes to the hatchback version, which adds significant utility and an available manual transmission to the mix. Last redesigned for 2022, the Civic hasn’t seen any major changes since then. But next year, the 2025 Civic Hybrid arrives in both hatch and sedan flavors.

Verdict: We’re big fans of the 2024 Honda Civic. Unless you want all-wheel drive, you can’t go wrong with this excellent compact car. It’s practical and safe, affordable yet first-rate, and thanks to its available turbocharged engine is a blast to drive. Instead of getting a small SUV like everyone else, strongly consider a Civic Hatchback instead.

8/10

Have you ever seen “The Strike,” that Seinfeld episode in which Jerry is dating Gwen? The current-generation Honda Civic Hatchback is like Gwen. Depending on the angle, the lighting, the paint color, and the wheels, the Civic Hatchback can look dowdy and homely or sporty and attractive.

Our test car, dressed out in Sport Touring trim with fetching 18-inch alloy wheels and an eye-catching color called Boost Blue, mostly appealed to us. The car’s rear end remains just a little too stubby, but otherwise, we found the Civic Sport Touring’s styling agreeable.

The Sport Touring sits atop the Civic Hatchback lineup, which also includes the base LX, the value-oriented Sport, and the upscale EX-L with a leather interior. Base prices range from $24,950 to $31,450, not including a $1,095 destination charge. Boost Blue is an extra-cost paint color, so our Sport Touring test car’s manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) tallied up to an even $33,000, including destination.

Open the driver’s door, and the Civic Sport Touring justifies its high price with quality materials, elegant detailing, and just the right amount of technology. The attention to detail is remarkable, particularly regarding the metal honeycomb mesh decorating the dashboard, the knurled knobs for the stereo volume and climate controls, and the high-resolution digital instrumentation and infotainment screens.
