From the very beginning, the Honda Civic has been an exceptional valuefor buyers looking for a mix of sophistication, solid engineering and driving
pleasure in a low-maintenance, fuel-sipping small car. In its latest form,
the Civic continues the tradition.
The only caveat to be offered here is pricing. And the latter concern
has only to do with the EX model; pick an HX, LX or DX, or even an ultra-plain
CX hatchback, add those items you can't live without, and the value is
unquestionable.
In any case, give the CVT-equipped HX Coupe a trial spin. As a functional
and efficient innovation, it adds another techno-credit to the Civic's
long list of achievements. Honda is testing market response to the CVT
initially only in the coupe, but we expect to see it become an across-the-option
soon.
Ever since its debut in 1973, the Civic has been the car that defined
its class. And that's still true today.
