HONDA CIVIC
Tenth generation (2015â€"present) â€" FC1, FC2
I’ve been reviewing brand names and hierarchies of cars and not rea lly getting down to the grit of the matter, well I’m doing a review on a single car today..... The Honda Civic
This compact car was unveiled in 2015 but will be sold as a 2016 model to the public.
The body styles offered are 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, and 5-door hatchback
It is a front-engined, front-wheel drive
Engines offered include 1.8 L R18Z1 I4, 2.0 L K20C2 I4, and 1.5 L L15B7 I4 (turbo)
Transmission offered are: CVT automatic, 6-speed manual
Dimensions: the length of the Sedan is 4,630 mm while the Coupe: 4,490 mm
Honda unveiled the 2016 Civic sedan in September 2015. Production began in late October, with sales beginning on 12 November. The Civic coupe debuted at the LA Auto Show in November, with sales be ginning in March.
Civic variants include sedan, coupe, 5-door hatchback, Si trims, and Type-R models.
The exterior features standard LED DRLs and C-shaped LED taillights. Headlamps with LED low and high beams along with amber LED turn signals are optional.
Two I4 engines are available: a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter DOHC paired to either a 6-speed manual or CVT transmission, or an optional turbocharged direct injected 1.5-liter DOHC engine. The sedans 2.0-liter engine paired with the CVT has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 31/41/35 mpg (city/highway/combined).

The sedans wheelbase is 1.2 inches longer with rear disc brakes made standard. The Civic is based on an all-new platform which utilizes higher grade steel, the unit body is 68 pounds lighter than the prior
The Civic hatchback prototype was unveiled in March 2016 at the Geneva Motor Show. The production version is expected to go on sale towards the beginning of 2017 and will be assembled at Hondas UK manufacturing plant.
Despite being a modest car, the Civic is popular as a platform for modiï¬cation and customization by the enthusiast community. Startin g with the fourth generation and continuing through the 2000 model year, Civics had front double wishbone suspension and rear semi-trailing arm suspension. Ready parts interchangeability allows easy engine swaps (primarily with more powerful B16A (Civic SI), B18C (Acura Integra GSR), and various K20 Civic motors) and many other upgrades.[43]
More recent seventh and eighth generation Civics, now rated as compacts rather than subcompacts, remain generally attractive as tuner projects in spite of added weight (mostly due to U.S. government safety mandates, such as airbags and ABS) and higher centers of gravity. Particularly unwelcome among the tuner community was the replacement of the front double-wishbone suspension with MacPherson struts, which provide inferior handling primarily due to limited dynamic camber angle control.
As for the rest of the 2016 Civic, the improvements cannot be understated. Its design is sleek and fastback-like, with a large, severely raked greenhouse that no longer includes frumpy front quarter-windows. The front fenders feature bulges over the wheel arches, and the body overall has plenty of sculpting. The rear-three- quarter view is the most distinctive, owing to the standard C-shaped LED taillamps, tapering windows, and sunken backlight. This is a highly styled automobile. After years of sleepy aesthetics from Honda, we can now consider the automaker’s design team to be fully awake.
The cabin environs seem simultaneously more modern and more intimate, thanks to the wide dashboard design, one-inch-lower front hip point, and taller two-tiered center console th at cossets the front passengers. An old Honda trait has returned in the form of the remarkably low windshield cowl, which has dropped 1.6 inches and allows an expansive view of the road ahead.
Pricing starts at $19,475 for the LX and $21,875 for the better-equipped EX, with prices for the turbo models rising from there. But even at the LX level, the Civic is no stripper, with its standard digital speedometer, automatic climate control, comfortable cloth seats, electronic parking brake, automatic headlamps, and more. Opting for the EX yields a full digital dashboard, Honda’s nifty LaneWatch camera system, remote engine starting, a power sunroof, heated mirrors, Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, alloy wheels (versus steelies with wheel covers), and the aforementioned CVT. The EX also brings Honda’s annoying flat-panel “Display Audio†system that begs for a volume knob; thankfully, the Civic’s new steering-wheel- mounted audio controls help minimize the use of said touch screen.
The all new 2016 civic is for the family cause of the space, for the young cause of the fairly average performance and for a small engine it accelerates fast (0-60mph in about 8 secs).
So if your budget falls at $22,000 get it or next year you would have wasted a year.
