2019 Kia Forte Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh All three Detroit-based automakers have abandoned the compact sedan segment in favor of more profitable compact crossovers. Kia, on the other hand, redesigned its Civic-competitor, the Forte, for 2019. While the Forte was previously offered in three bodystyles, the coupe and hatchback did not make the jump. I hadn't planned... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Honda Civic |

2014 Civic - purchased used with 55k km 2014 Honda Civic Love Letter A member in Ontario, Canada Purchased used in summer of 2017 with 55k km. Needed an A/C recharge when I bought it. Needed a new parking brake handle - the "button" on the parking handle had broken off. Both items were dealt with before I took ownership. So far so good. |

2018 Elantra GT Sport Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh For a mix of driving enjoyment, practicality, and affordability, nothing beats a hot hatch. The one that started it all, the Volkswagen GTI, continues to lead the pack, but many driving enthusiasts want a lower price, fewer long-term reliability concerns, or both. This might open the door wide for... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Honda Civic |

2016 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member338 Generally positive, but I have bad feeling about the "Honda Sensing" system. Collision Mitigation will automatically apply the brakes. Road Departure Mitigation will "provide steering and braking assistance" Lane keeping assist will "subtly adjust steering" Based on the Toyota "sudden acceleration" issue, how do I know if the... |

2016 Honda Civic Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Five years ago I tested the then-new ninth-generation Honda Civic, and could hardly have been more disappointed. For decades innovative, idiosyncratic, engineering-driven Honda had offered the best small sedan, the one everyone else emulated. But the company lost the plot a few years ago, and the 2012 Civic looked bad... Comparison vehicle: 2017 Hyundai Elantra |

2016 Chevrolet Cruze Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Usually when launching a completely redesigned popular model an auto maker tries to make as big a splash as possible. With the fully redesigned 2016 Cruze, Chevrolet has taken the opposite approach. The new car has arrived at dealers very late for a 2016 with no attendant publicity. None are...

2016 Nissan Sentra Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh A compact car can no longer hope to get by on a low price alone (though one doesn't hurt). In recent years compacts have improved so dramatically in just about every way (save price) that they've become the cars of choice for many people who could easily afford something larger....

Great car overall, be careful if it snows where you live. 2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member6467 Over 180K on the odometer, and I've had only one non-wear item to need repair. That being said, that one problem could have been a huge issue -- it was adefective engine block that suddenly developed a small crack that leaked coolant. Fortunately, it was 100% covered by Honda as... |

Underappreciated Sport Coupe Exciting to drive 2015 Honda Civic Love Letter Member6646 I'd love to buy the new Camaro, but I'm afraid to let this SI go. |

Not bad, but not great. Wishing it was more comfortable. 2009 Honda Civic Pros and Cons MDooner Great 4cyl engine. Smooth, high revving. Not 'buzzy'. Great efficiency. |

2014 Kia Forte SX Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Little respected even a decade ago, in recent years Hyundai and Kia have been hitting the mark in an increasing number of segments. But they've been essentially absent from the product class that best combines two of their specialties, practicality and affordability, with driving enjoyment: performance compacts. Where's the Korean... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Honda Civic |

EX Mustang Owner now owns a CIVIC SI 2013 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member538 I have owned Mustang GT's, I traded a Mustang 6cyl, for the SI, taking it over buying another GT. It is far more livable, just as much fun. Satisfying is the word to use. I thought I would regret not having the street cred, awesome power and orchestra of the... |
2000 Honda Civic EX Coupe, 5-speed manual 2000 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Mikemund Gave me 10 years and 143000 miles. Was four years old and had 52000 miles when I bought it. Very reliable until the last year. Finally had to sell it for salvage when the engine failed. |

The 8th-gen Civic Si sedan. 8000rpm never gets old. 2009 Honda Civic Love Letter cjones314 This car is obnoxious, but I love every minute of it. |

2012 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member982 Continues to be a solid, reliable car for no-nonsense commuting. However, it is no longer heads and shoulders above competing models in terms of interior appointments, handling and styling. |

2013 Honda Civic Si Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Honda showed millions of Americans how much fun a compact car with a rev-happy engine and agile handling could be, then somehow lost the plot, ultimately giving us the thoroughly disappointing 2012 Civic. To their credit, Honda heard the alarms, woke up, and worked around the clock--in shifts--to deliver a... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Volkswagen Jetta |
2013 Nissan Sentra SL Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Nissan hasn't dramatically altered the styling, powertrains, or features of its cars lately. Nevertheless, its Altima midsize sedan was the best-selling car model in the United States last month (March 2013), and is repeatedly among the top sellers. Whatever they're doing might not grab the attention of the public and... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Honda Civic |

2013 Honda Civic EX-L Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Some car reviewers won't write an overtly negative review. They'll focus on whatever good qualities the car has, disguise their criticisms as faint praise, or simply not write anything. Anyone who's familiar with my reviews knows I'm not such a reviewer. Most early reviews of the redesigned 2012 Honda Civic took... Comparison vehicle: 2013 Dodge Dart |

2008 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member5224 Car with high promise, but has failed to deliver on the reliability front. Interior build quality and paint are extremely disappointing. |

Good dependable economy car. 2003 Honda Civic Pros and Cons Member5607 The reason I bought the car was great reliability, good gas mileage, and conservative styling. |

2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh You might have noticed that Hyundais are more eye-catching than they used to be. And none catches eyes more avidly than the Veloster introduced last year. But reviews were mixed because the Veloster's name suggested speed, and the car appears quick, but, with a 138-horsepower engine, it's not quick. For... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Honda Civic |
