| Price: | |
| Likes: | Leather, navigation, good stereo with wheel-mount controls, standard safety features, loaded with options at a bargain price. Attractive styling works better as sedan than coupe. Gracious cabin and trunk space, easy-to-use nav system; solid engine with fair power. |
| Gripes: | Auto transmission lags when gas is stomped. Looong dash seems like wasted space. No way to get sporty SI bits in the sedan. |
| Verdict: | Umpteen generations since its debut, the Civic is now as big as the early Accords, but better looking. A relative bargain, but an automatic Civic sedan is like a bowl of gruel: It gives me what I need to get by, but lacks any real punch on my taste buds. Still, all the nutrients are there, in spades, so I’ll keep eating. |
