So far, we've uncovered two points to criticize about the Honda Civic coupe (three if you want to count unadventurous styling as a demerit): Its ride quality isn't all you might want it to be and the rear seat is undersized. But guess what? You could fault almost every car in this class on one or both points - and find lots of other things to grumble about, too.For the price, either Civic coupe is an exceptional value. Aside from offering outstanding driving pleasure, both are reliable, efficient (the EX gets a 29 mpg city/35 mpg hwy. rating from the EPA; we averaged 33 mpg under a variety of conditions) and nicely finished cars.
This is a mature, innovative, high-quality line of small cars that's among the best in the world. You may pay a bit of a premium versus some other cars in this class. But you get what you pay for - and more.
