Honda Civic sedan test drive since 2012 sedan

Honda Civic. Civic duty

Over time, Honda Civic has become a kind of classic of world automotive, like Porsche 911.

Take a look at Honda Civic and compare with the sixth, seventh and eighth generation cars. At least, note similar proportions: thanks to the moderate evolution of the 4-door Civic from generation to generation for 17 years, it was possible to maintain an outstanding continuity of style. But in terms of the attitude towards this machine of buyers there are certain difficulties: then the people miss the combat Civic of the past, then they want something simpler. The transition from sports to a regular model we already observed when the seventh generation car debuted, and now, after the incendiary version of the eighth generation, we can trace another turn to civil values. A cunning marketing strategy? Be that as it may, the new Civic is already on sale, in some ways it is the same, in some ways. We want to warn those who are interested: having bought a new Civic, immediately take care of a good anti -theft system, because the previous car was one of the most stolen in the country and it is possible that the novelty will again be held in high esteem.

Portrait
Outside, a new generation car is similar to its predecessor, however, it looks prettier: the lines are smoother, the look is even more friendly, and in general the car seems more solid and older than the previous generation model. There is no talk of the revolution, the sedan evolved, which can not be said about the hatchback, but at the moment it is outside the zone of our attention, since its deliveries to Russia have not yet begun.

The interior of the novelty has become much stricter. Ergonomics are quite worthy, and the salon is generally more practical, spacious and more convenient than that of an old -style machine. I must say, special attention is paid to the materials of the finish, which the latter Civic had very high quality.
Of course, some lovers of real Honda did not like the former Civic, although they were quite gambling and pleasant in management. Beginner different: its main quality unobtrusive. It is fast, accurate and obedient, but without a spark for the sake of average customers of golf class cars, the Japanese tried to make the latest Civic more comfortable. And they did it.

Choosing a body
So far, CIVIC is available exclusively in the form of a sedan: a hatchback should appear in our spring.
