Test drive Honda Civic sedan since 2008 sedan
Honda Civic. From 653,000 rubles.
The new generation Honda Civic made a lot of noise, especially the five -door version with its futuristic design. Motorists are calmer to the sedan. And in vain! Many design Honda Civic may not like it. But the fact that he is noticeable and unusual is stupid to deny. This is especially true for a 5 -door version. The sedan against the background of the hatchback looks much calmer. But the shape of the body did not change the nature of the car, and this is very important.
Civic will enjoy drivers of different qualifications in the movement. Such versatility is given by a 5-speed machine operating in three modes. The first ordinary drive.
The motor does not bother with noise, since the transfers switch in the range of 3000-4000 min-1. If you sharply press the pedal, then the tachometer arrow can reach 6000 min-1. If the selector of the CP is transferred to the S (Sport) position, then the response of the accelerator pedal is abruptly, without the slightest delay. In this case, the engine is unscrewed to 7000 min-1. It is pleasant that the craving is not interrupted in the entire speed range, up to the cut -off. After that, the machine will go to the next step, and in manual mode this will happen only when the steering wheel switches are pressed. The steering is distinguished by good feedback. The steering wheel is short in the middle position, which is convenient. Particularly praised 
a balanced suspension, which is both comfortable and not soft at the same time. What can you find fault with Honda Civic is to brakes. Driving
