The Honda Civic persists as one of the best-selling sedans because of its smooth handling and practically. But what makes the Civic such a great car to buy new or used is its excellent reliability ratings. If you’re in the market for a used Civic, consider the 2015 model year for these three reasons. 

The 2015 Honda Civic is a great city driver

What makes the Civic an ideal option for city driving is because of its responsiveness and outstanding fuel economy ratings. Plus, the Civic is easy to park, making it that much better for scooting around town. Consumer Reports specifically named the 2015 Civic one of the best-used cars for city dwellers for its efficiency and because it can complete a U-turn within 28 feet. 

For 2015, Civics came standard with a four-cylinder engine that makes 143-horsepower and a five-speed manual transmission. When linked to the available continuously variable transmission, the Civic’s standard engine delivers a combined 30 mpg according to CR’s testing. Overall, the Civic is a balanced ride that provides enough power for daily drives. 

There are also two other variants for the 2015 Civic. The hybridized variant gets up to 40 mpg. If more power is what you want, you will want to shop for Civic Si models. The Civic Si model comes with a 205-hp four-cylinder engine. 

The Civic offers a comfortable cabin

The 2015 Civic is available as a sedan or as a coupe. Both body styles offer spacious cabins and can seat up to five passengers. Critics commended the Civic’s comfortable seats as well as for its great driver’s visibility. The 2015 Civic’s car cabin is well-built, plus it provides a variety of convenient storage spaces.
