The Honda Civic has been one of our favorite small cars to drive for a long time with a sporty style and active driving qualities for you.

This car has been active, energetic, and efficient. When you’re trying to figure out which version of this car should be the one you want to take home, there are six different trims and two body styles for you to choose from. Normally, you’ll have seven trims, but 2021 is a year without the Si model as part of the lineup.

Notice the Look of Each Body Style

Whether you choose the sedan or the hatchback, you’re going to have an impressive car to drive. Some of the trims are only offered in each body style and not both. When looking for the most room for your cargo, the Civic hatchback has the versatility you won’t find in the sedan model, but the sedan gives you an attractive look that you can easily admire.
