  • I had a 10th gen civic and loved it. Had I had more money a handful of years ago, I would have done a few upgrades to it.

    If you have the 1.5L turbo engine that came on everything but the base model, you could upgrade the turbo and get a tune. That should put a bit more zip into it.

    If you have the base model 2.0L, installing a turbo and all of the supporting mods on an NA vehicle is more expensive, time consuming, and frustrating for a first-timer. However, you could install an E85 kit to squeeze a bit more power out of it. Pair it with a tune and I bet you could get a bit past the 200hp mark.

    These could be cheaper options than getting a similar car in a sport trim. However, I understand that modifying your daily driver can seem risky as well. If you’re mechanically inclined and feeling adventurous, I would encourage you to take a look at what upgrades can be done to your current car.
