An adaptable car is a must if you live and work in the Folsom area. You need a car that can effortlessly drive around town, get you to Sacramento and even San Francisco for big events, and maybe step out for a drive when the mood strikes. Join us as we unwrap the 2024 Honda Civic and discover everything there is to love about them.

Efficient Yet Energetic

We know fuel economy is a priority for many Folsom car owners. Getting more miles per gallon is better for the environment, and it won't burn as big a hole in your wallet, especially when gas prices soar in the summer months. Honda has long been known for fuel-efficient vehicles, and the 2024 Honda Civic continues that tradition. Depending on the engine and transmission combination, you can get up to an EPA-estimated 42 MPG on the highway. Day-to-day transportation will be easier on your bank account, and you can go on a vacation without worrying about endless stops at the gas station.

That doesn't mean you're driving a sluggish car, though. The base 2.0L inline four-cylinder engine has 158 hp and 138 lb-ft of torque, which is more than enough to get off the line at traffic lights or breeze over Carpenter Hill. For a little more vigor to tackle those winding Northern California roads, upgrade to a 1.5L turbocharged four-cylinder that gives you 180 hp and 177 lb-ft of torque. Interestingly, the best fuel mileage option comes from the turbocharged engine paired with a continuously variable transmission.

The 2024 Civic is also known for its nimble handling. It has a sport-tuned suspension even on base trims, making the vehicle more stable and responsive at every speed. MacPherson front struts, a multi-link rear suspension, and a Normal/Sport/ECON three-mode drive system make this an enjoyable car to drive.

Sedan or Hatchback? The Choice is Yours

As it has for years, the 2024 Honda Civic is available in a sedan or hatchback body design. Although they share many performance and comfort features, there are a few notable differences. Both offer certain advantages for Folsom drivers, and there's no right or wrong answer. It depends on your priorities, whether fuel economy, cargo space, or something else.

Pros of a Honda Civic Sedan

• The fuel mileage is slightly better (1-2 MPG in most cases), so you spend a little less on fill-ups.
• The sedan trims cost a little less than their hatchback counterparts.

Pros of a Honda Civic Hatchback

• The hatchback has significantly more cargo room (24.5 vs. 14.8 cu.ft.) for road trips.
• You get a rear windshield wiper for better visibility in the rain.
• The base LX trim comes with durable rust-proof alloy wheels rather than steel wheels.
• The Sport and Sport Touring trims can be ordered with a manual transmission.

Civic Models for Those Who Need Performance

Do the regular Civic sedan and hatchback not quite have the pep you want? Sport-inspired versions are available so you can zoom down Route 50 or plan a weekend around a Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca track day. The 2024 Honda Civic Si is a young, aggressive sedan for excitement-driven drivers. The turbocharged engine has been fine-tuned for an increase to 200 hp, along with a manual transmission and limited-slip differential, giving you more control on any road — and it still gets an EPA-estimated 37 MPG on the highway. The ECON drive mode is replaced by an Individual mode for custom tunings.

You can step things up even further with the "refined racer" that is the 2024 Honda Civic Type R. It packs even more punch with a 2.0L turbocharged VTEC engine that slams out 315 hp. The manual transmission has rev-match control for smoother shifting, and you get a fourth mode (Comfort) for the drive system. In testing, this machine shattered the record for a front-wheel drive lap at the famed Suzuka circuit, demonstrating its prowess. Either the Si or Type R will be a nice upgrade for someone who wants to have some fun with their daily driver.

Keeping You Safe on Folsom Roads

From rush-hour traffic to the treacherous Salmon Falls Road, Folsom driving can get crazy before you know it. When you're behind the wheel of a Civic, you have a vehicle that's ready if disaster finds you. The 2024 Honda Civic sedan and hatchback were both 2023 Top Safety Picks by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The sedan, hatchback, and Civic Si also picked up five-star ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). (The Honda Civic Type R did not receive an overall rating).

Honda also equips each Civic with the Honda Sensing driver assistance suite. All trim levels come standard with a variety of tools that include a Collision Mitigation Braking System and Adaptive Cruise Control. The Civic EX and Touring trims come with a Blind Spot Information System and a Cross Traffic Monitor. Simply put, this is one of the safest vehicles you can buy, and you can feel good letting partners, kids, and friends ride along.

An Array of Comfort and Tech Features

Some say you need a big vehicle to experience a spacious feel and immersive technology. Those people haven't yet hopped into the 2024 Honda Civic. The sedan and hatchback both have 42.3 inches of front legroom and 37.4 inches of rear legroom so that everyone can stretch their legs out. The interior of every new Civic adjustable front seat belt anchors and head restraints for personalized comfort, and rear heating ducts ensure a consistent cabin temperature on chilly mornings. Upper trims add front seat power adjustments and heating, a rear seat center armrest and cup holders, a power moonroof, leather trim, and a 60/40 split rear seatback.

If you want to queue up information or entertainment as you steer through Northern California, the 2024 Honda Civic is ready. All trims are equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and you can connect wirelessly on the Touring, Si, and Type R models. Bluetooth connectivity is also standard for audio streaming and hands-free calling and texting. There are several levels of high-quality sound systems, with the Touring and Type R getting a 12-speaker Bose setup. Available features include Sirius XM, HD Radio, wireless charging, and Honda's satellite-based navigation system.

Everything is controlled on a high-definition color touchscreen that measures seven or nine inches, depending on the trim. For good measure, you also get light-up steering wheel controls, a USB phone plug-in, and speed-sensitive volume adjustments that raise or lower the sound level based on engine noise. Tech-savvy Folsom drivers and audiophiles will be right at home when they're driving a Honda Civic.
