Experience driving, reviewing and evaluating the performance and specifications of Honda Civic
Honda Civic 2014 review
The most important change in the exterior is the sportier front end, with a chrome grille, as well as a new design for the rear lights. And in the VTi class in the test, there are large wheels with a distinctive design. Overall, this design is better than the previous year, but the car is still a bit unattractive.There’s not much we could ask of a 2014 Honda Civic. Although we would have preferred some interior improvements for the car’s second-row occupants, there is more room than the Focus or Mazda 3. The driver gets better driving pleasure compared to the Hyundai Elantra or Toyota Corolla. And everyone inside the car will get a level of comfort on the road better than the Chevrolet Cruze or Mitsubishi Lancer. Although it is now manufactured in America, the Civic is still more expensive compared to those cars, but it excels in other respects.
Engine performance and specifications for Honda Civic
The Civic is available with two engines: a 1.6 engine and a 1.8 liter engine that doesn’t seem to have changed, at least in the front. It produces 139 horsepower and 127 pound-feet of torque, and is still connected to a 5-speed automatic transmission. At 120 km/h, the engine rotates at only 2,300 rpm. This is excellent for reducing fuel consumption, and as i-MID showed us the fuel consumption was only 8.3 l/100 km at the end of our test drive. We got from 0-100 km/h in 10.9 seconds, which is better than the 2012 model for some reason. We get a feel of Honda’s famous VTEC technology, which propels the car with more power at about 4,000 rpm. These are not the fastest cars by any means, but they are sufficient for everyday driving.
Stability and handling for Honda Civic
The chassis of the car has become more flexible than before, which means that the car is pleasant in the corners. It has great stability, and we never lost control of the car even when we drove it crazy and the ESP system was off. In short, the new Civic is more fun than before, and it competes with the new Ford Focus in this respect.
Honda Civic Interior, Exterior Design and Driving Impressions
The level of comfort in the car is good, even with the new update of the suspension system, which is supposed to make the car more sporty in the corners compared to the 2012 model. The Civic uses a four-wheel-independent suspension which is the best in its class, while most cars in this segment, even the new Korean, have a live-axle rear suspension. This distinguishes the Civic with a good level of comfort and better stability on the road compared to the Toyota Corolla, which does not give any feeling to the driver, and the more rugged Chevrolet Cruze on the road. The noise is somewhat noticeable, but the engine sound is quieter than before. The car’s visibility is excellent, and on the highways it’s almost as comfortable as the Accord.
Value for the price of a Honda Civic
The price of the Honda Civic is high compared to its competitors, and this has affected its spread among consumers, as well as the prices of its spare parts are high, but selling prices are good due to Honda’s reputation

Honda Civic cabin interior design
Inside, the materials for the center console and side bolsters have been improved, but the dashboard and backrests are still made of cheap plastic. But in this class, which is the VTi, all the cushions inside the car are covered in leather. . Overall, the interior design is close to luxury and the dual design of the gauges gives the Civic a technical feel. In all categories except the lowest category (tourist), there is a color screen at the top of the gauges which is i-MID, which contains driving information as well as audio information from Bluetooth for phone and radio. The steering wheel is made of leather and contains the phone buttons to answer and lock, as well as the cruise control buttons and the i-MID screen control buttons. The CD/MP3 audio system is above average, with USB and AUX slots. The air conditioner reaches freezing temperatures
The spaciousness and spaciousness of the Honda Civic
The front seats are comfortable and have good traction for the occupants, and the rear space is best in class thanks to the flat floor and available headroom. There are 4 cup holders (2 front, 2 rear) and there are pockets in all the car doors, but the trunk space is 400 liters, which is less than the Elantra and Cerato for example.
