New Car Test Drive Review

Summary:

America's favorite small car.
By Ray Thursby, NewCarTestDrive.com

Somewhere within the wide range of Civics available is a car certain to please almost any compact car buyer. If economy is the primary motivator, any will do, with top honors going to the base coupe. Our test sedan is rated thirstiest of the bunch, and we still managed a 32-mpg average. Luxury, in a relative sense, is available as well, though the price for a full load of amenities puts the Civic up against base versions of larger, more substantial cars.

The easy part is deciding to make the Civic a primary candidate while small-car shopping. The complexities begin when deciding which of the 17 available body style, power plant and transmission combinations best suits your needs.

Overview:

Honda Civic is one of the most popular compacts sold in the U.S. Many of us grew up with them because the Civic has been a Honda trademark for more than 30 years.

Clever engineering, Honda's renowned assembly quality and all the conveniences create an entry-level car that provides more than basic transportation. Honda makes a Civic to suit many types of people. Sedan, coupe and hatchback models available with a choice of engines tuned for performance or economy enable buyers to choose a sports coupe, a luxury sedan or a highly efficient, practical and environmentally conscious runabout.
