Since its launch in 1972, the Honda Civic has been one of the most popular compact cars sold in America.
The Civic is offered in three-door hatchback, two-door coupe, four-door sedan models. They have the option of a 1.6-liter/106-hp 4-cylinder, a 1.6-liter/115-hp VTEC, or a 127-hp VTEC version. Opt for a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic. ABS is optional.
Early models of the Civic were typically outfitted with a basic AM radio, rudimentary heater, foam cushioned plastic trim, two-speed wipers, and painted steel rims with a chromed wheel nut cap. The current Civic has become much more luxurious with satellite-linked navigation, a six-speed manual, power locks and power windows available. For 2006, Honda completely redesigned the Civic giving it a more athletic, curvier look. In many countries (USA, UK, New Zealand), all models (including the base model) come standard with ABS and side and curtain airbags.
Across the line, there's more power, improved ride and handling, and better people packaging. There are more choices as well: a sporty new Civic Si coupe, a fully populated tier of coupes and sedans with new engines and transmissions, and a more efficient and effective Hybrid sedan. The jury's still out on some of the more ambitious styling ventures, but overall, the new swoopy look turns heads and generates smiles.
The base DX model is equipped with LATCH, immobilizer theft-deterrent system, power windows, daytime running lights (DRL), 15" wheels with covers, driver's seat height adjustment, and other features (All Canadian sold Civics have the 160 watt stereo system) as well as the DX-G model in Canada adds air conditioning, auxiliary input jack for portable audio players, power door locks, remote keyless entry and storage console armrest.
Some other features of the European Civic include 'magic seats' in the rear, that not only lay flat to increase boot capacity, but also allow the seat bench to lift up and lay flat against the back rests to create a large loading area in the back behind the front seats. There is also a 'hidden' storage compartment in the boot under the floor. The lid, which normally forms part of the boot floor, can be sunk down to a lower level to increase the load area, designed to allow the boot area accommodate larger or taller items. In the normal position, the storage area can be used to hide valuables away under the floor. Some models in the range feature things like electric folding mirrors, a panoramic glass roof, and automatic headlights and windscreen wipers.
Honda debuted a Type R concept for the European Civic at the 2006 Geneva Motor Show; the Type R will use a 2.0 litre 201 bhp at 7800 rpm I4. The suspension uses McPherson struts up front and a torsion beam in the back, while the car itself was initially thought to be lighter than the standard Civic as dictated by Honda Type R philosophy. Sophisticated handling aids such as traction control were initially thought to be completely eschewed for a purer, more soulful driving character, however in the end Honda did include a special version of their VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) that is specifically tuned to the car so as to better adhere to said philosophy.
The Civic Si is a sporty version of the Civic, usually placed beneath the Type R trim. It sports a more powerful engine, tighter suspension settings, and a few cosmetic changes to differentiate it from the other trims.
