New Honda Civic Tested Inside Out

Honda Civic unlike most of its other contemporaries looks from another generation. Not only does it look like a car from the future but it truly is. The modern saloon design with a cab-forward stance is shaped to cleave the wind. It also stands apart with the one of a kind vertical space and is appreciably lower slung than the Corolla.

The quality of interiors is equally up to the task and is simply wonderful. The Civic not only gives its competitors a run for their money but also makes them go into hiding when it comes to the interior quality. While most car interiors look well, the Civic’s insides make it look like a spacecraft!

The new Honda Civic engine smokes up to 130bhp with the 1.8-litre motor. Improving on the famous VTEC system, this new engine hits the 100kph in 9.5 seconds. While this is quick, we were mildly disappointed that the Civic was not quicker; its performance doesn’t reflect the quantum leap the car has taken in many other areas.

The low centre of gravity, long wheelbase, wide front and rear tracks and rigid body makes sure that the car sticks to the road and gives you a race track feel. Body roll is a thing of the past and the quick steering ensures that you can throw the car around the corners coupled with good front-end grip. The braking inspires a lot of confidence and the overall body control is quite good.

The Civic is probably one of the best cars you can buy. You get complete value for money with comfort, performance, and a host of features. Then there is the decent fuel economy at a reasonable price, no class of car can claim to deliver more bang for your buck. And it comes from one of the most accomplished carmakers in the world. You can also check out the likes of the Chevrolet Cruze and the Toyota Corolla Altis.
