Honda Civic
Canada's bestselling car is getting a slight cosmetic update for 2019 and a new Sport trim level for the coupe and sedan. Also available in hatchback configuration, the Civic has several personalities—sometimes prim and proper, sometimes more unhinged. While many consider the Si version to be the most balanced, the 306-horsepower Civic Type R showcases all of the manufacturer’s performance know-how.
