Over the course of half a century, the Honda Civic has established itself as one of the most important cars in the world, providing practical and affordable transportation for the masses. Early Civics were praised for their efficiency, while later generations became firm favorites with enthusiasts and tuners, providing spirited performance and enjoyable handling without costing the earth. Over 12 million Civics have been sold in the USA since the Honda Civic generation years started in 1973, including everything from utterly dull entry-level models to the wild Civic Type R. Considering how long the Civic nameplate has been around, ranking all 11 generations is no easy task, but we’ve attempted to do that here.
