2019 Kia Forte Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Kia Forte's EPA fuel economy ratings of 30 mpg city and 40 mpg highway aren't quite best in class, but they're close. Unless you include the 55/49 Honda Insight and the 53/52 Toyota Corolla Hybrid in the class--then they're not so close. In my real-world suburban driving I... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Honda Civic |

2018 Elantra GT Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Hyundai's 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter engine doesn't perform nearly as well in the EPA's tests as the 205-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine in the Civic Si: 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway vs. 28 and 38, respectively. The far more potent 306-horsepower Civic Type R manages numbers virtually as good as... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Honda Civic |

2016 Honda Civic Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The new Honda Civic earned EPA ratings among the best in the class with both engines: 31 mpg city, 41 mpg highway with the 2.0-liter engine and 31/42 with the 1.5-liter turbo. With the 2.0-liter I observed suburban averages as high as 43 mpg and a 70-mph highway average around... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Hyundai Elantra |

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Weight is the enemy of fuel economy. Partly be reducing the Cruze's curb weight by about 250 pounds, from among the heaviest in the class to among the lightest, Chevrolet improved its EPA ratings from 26 mpg city, 38 mpg highway to 30/42 (30/40 in the tested top-of-the-line trim). The... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Honda Civic |

2016 Nissan Sentra Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh In 2013 the Nissan Sentra topped its class in fuel economy (excluding some low volume special fuel economy variants, such as the Sentra's own FE+ S). For 2016 the Sentra's EPA ratings have declined by one mpg, to 29 city / 38 highway. Meanwhile, the new turbo engine boosts the... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Honda Civic |

2014 Kia Forte SX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh I've made it through the top reasons to buy a Kia Forte SX, but no mention of performance and handling (the reasons to upgrade from lesser trims) yet. But neither is the top reason not to buy one, either. Okay, maybe handling is. I'm trying to decide as I write... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Honda Civic |

EX Mustang Owner now owns a CIVIC SI 2013 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member538 This one is odd. I travel down to Florida a lot, on a 300-400 mile trip I am between 35-40. Mixed driving I have never gone below 32.4. City driving I once saw it go down to 29.1. I am sure if I drive it like I stole it these... |
2000 Honda Civic EX Coupe, 5-speed manual 2000 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Mikemund Best mileage was 44 mpg on a long highway trip. Typically got low to mid 30s. Smallish 11.9 gallon tank hurt range. |

The 8th-gen Civic Si sedan. 8000rpm never gets old. 2009 Honda Civic Love Letter cjones314 17mpg if you use all OE specification fluids and drive short trips around town. I get 32mpg with Amsoil full synthetic with cruise control at 65mph. 24mpg for mixed (normal). It *requires* premium. The K20Z3 uses multi-port fuel injection (not DI) with a static compression ratio of 11.0:1. If... |

2013 Honda Civic Si Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Eith EPA ratings of 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway--on premium fuel--the Civic Si's fuel economy lags that in many larger cars that are at least as powerful. Much of the blame goes to the short gearing. A manual transmission Jetta GLI, with a turbo but taller gearing, manages... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta |
2013 Nissan Sentra SL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The Altima topped the rest of its segment in fuel economy, and the Sentra does the same, with EPA ratings of 30 mpg city, 39 highway. The Civic matches the highway number, but falls two short in the city. The Sentra's trip computer substantiated these estimates, and then some. On the... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Honda Civic |

2013 Honda Civic EX-L Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Compact sedans have been getting heavier and heavier. With a midsize-like curb weight of 3,242 lbs., the Dodge Dart is the heftiest of the bunch. The Honda Civic, with a curb weight of 2,804 lbs., is nearly a quarter-ton lighter. This pays off in better fuel economy. Though its 140-horsepower... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Dodge Dart |

2010 Honda Civic Pros and Cons A member in Alberta, Canada I consistently get between 7 and 7.5L per 100 km which is about 32.5 MPG(US). I also own a Toyota Tundra, so the savings on fuel almost pay for the civic itself. |
