The Real Civic Is Back !

The Civic that’s gained devoted following over the years, the much-adorned Honda that inspired the opening of thousand tuner shops, has been slowly changing to take an entirely different shape, which we saw as a huge let down when the 2016 Sedan came out. But let’s not get confused; as a commodity the reliable and efficient Civic is still here and thriving, leading the retail sales in the compact department for three years now. So, now let’s focus on the new coupe and see what the coupe-loving crowd would have to say about it, as while the enthusiast's models, Si and Type R, are still on their way, we are pretty sure that the upgraded coupe will be able to satisfy our anticipation at least for a while.

1. The coupe actually looks like one 
In contrast to the previous unadventurous looking coupes, the latest one is much more innovative and progressive on the outside, with dramatically ascending beltline and fierce fender creases to dramatize its appearance even further. The upright C-pillars and old-fashioned cab-elongated proportions are non-existent in this inch lower, 5.4 inches shorter than a sedan coupe.

2. Honda’s interior designers are magicians 
The same magical hands that enabled you to fit and transport all the contents from your flat in the subcompact Fit, are also the ones that crafted a coupe with the comfort of a sedan. The passengers in the backseat will feel much more comfortable thanks to the increased headroom space and will be able to enjoy the view, which the higher standing beltline isn’t obstructing. And to make us even happier, the interior designers have added the sportiest seats you could possibly find in a commodity car.

"WHEREAS THE LAST CIVIC FELT DULL AND DISTANT, THIS ONE HAS THE ALERTNESS THAT USED TO BE HONDA'S TRADEMARK."

3. Too much machine is never a bonus 
You’d like to adjust the volume – then press the touchscreen. Too annoying that you can’t do it manually – then why not try the steering wheel control. Shame there is not much difference as it’s pretty touch sensitive too. We are puzzled as to why a brand whose moving principle is ‘man over machinery’ would go for so much tech.

4. Beating the S2000 with more low-end torque ! 
The 1.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that powers the Civic, also produces 162 lb-ft starting at 1700 rpm, where the S2000 makes the same at 6800 rpm. To let out your engine’s coarse monotonous roar, nail the throttle and enjoy.

5. The man who tuned the 2005 Si's exhaust also tuned the Civic’s suspension Bruce Fouts
A man with renowned taste, ensured that this time the Civic won’t feel distant and dull, and managed to bring to life Honda’s trademark – its sharp and exciting alertness. The now conventional for the Civics, the Agile Handling Assist, restricts the understeer by braking the inside wheel when entering a corner. The Real Civic Is Back The Si and Type R, the true enthusiast's models, are yet to arrive. But for now the new Civic coupe, even in this simple form, is a vehicle that Honda lovers will recognize.

In conclusion - The Real Civic Is Back . 
The Si and Type R, the true enthusiast's models, are yet to arrive. But for now the new Civic coupe, even in this simple form, is a vehicle that Honda lovers will recognize.
