After a major update last year, the Civic returns unchanged. With the available DX, LX, EX, Touring and Si trims, there’s a Civic for everyone. A 140-hp 1.8L four-cylinder (with manual or automatic five-speed transmissions) equips most Civics, while the Si versions feature a 201-hp 2.4L engine mated exclusively to a six-speed manual. The coupe will be updated early this year, while the Hybrid is still offered here, but in its 2012 version and only on special order.
Pros
- More visionary dynamics
- Improved soundproofing
- Increased safety
- Redesigned interior
Cons
- Five-speed automatic gearbox only
- Rear visibility
- High price of Si and hybrid trims
- Unconvincing hybrid model (2012)
