Honda Civic: Luxury on wheels
The Honda Civic ranks near the top of the class for its performance and value, with its sleek, modern styling also winning high marks. The Civic has long been considered the benchmark other compact cars are measured against, and it is appreciated for its seamless performance and sporty interior and exterior. The new Civic is even more powerful than before, more fuel efficient, and more fun to drive. In fact the Civic is not a sports car, but the Civic is perky and holds curves nicely. There's no single thing that blows you away about the Civic.
Honda Civic, originally born in 1972, has evolved with decades of innovations that have placed it at the pinnacle of perfection. It is a truly global car, driven in more than 160 countries. The car is the ultimate combination of styling, luxury and technology that has to be experienced.
The current Civic is the best yet. It is the most powerful and the most fuel-efficient, and comes in a wide range of models, from the 197-horsepower Civic Si to the Civic Hybrid. It is also the most radically designed Civic to date, inside and out.
The current Honda Civic, which was introduced for the 2006 model year, is available in two body styles: coupe and four-door sedan. Both styles share four trim levels: a base DX, EX, LX and Si. The DX, EX and LX are powered by a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine, which makes 140 hp. A five-speed manual transmission is standard, and a five-speed automatic is optional. All trims get a broad range of safety features, such as anti-lock brakes, front-seat side airbags and full-length side-curtain airbags.
Those accustomed to the Honda Civic's conservative tradition will be surprised to find a dramatic-looking interior that features a new two-tier dashboard layout. A digital speedometer sits on top of the dash, while the tachometer is the lone instrument gauge behind the steering wheel. In terms of premium features, the DX is pretty limited, and you'll have to jump up to the EX and LX trims to get air-conditioning and powered accessories. The EX and LX also add upgraded stereo systems and sportier 16-inch wheels.
Always known for its reliability, the Honda Civic has also earned a reputation for performance and fuel economy. Honda's VTEC technology first appeared in the fifth-generation Civic, which was sold from 1992-'95. The Civic VX featured a fuel-efficient 92-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder with VTEC-E.
More powerful was the 128-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder VTEC engine found in the Civic Si and EX sedan trims. First sold only in hatchback and sedan body styles, the fifth-gen Civic got two coupe trims in 1993, the DX and EX. The lower CX and DX trims each had a 70-hp 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine.
The Civic is a great value within its class. The car has great styling, high quality, smooth ride, sweet power-train, super mileage and excellent quality. The Honda Civic has one of the best safety packages in the class, with standard anti-lock brakes, side air bags and side curtain air bags.
The new Civic 1.8V will additionally sport features such as leather seats, front fog lamps and turn indicators integrated into outside rear-view mirrors. The new variant is also offered in two new colours, Mystic Violet and Carbon Bronze Pearl. The price range is Rs. 11.51 lakh for 1.8V MT and Rs. 12.21 lakh for 1.8V AT.
